Alarm sounded over 'prison-like' conditions in UK #immigration centres

A new report has urged UK authorities to make a raft of improvements inside immigrant detention centres, including detention conditions and staffing issues.

That's according to a new report by the European Committee for the Prevention of #Torture (CPT) released on Thursday.

During a visit to the country between March and April 2023, it flagged up several issues surrounding the uncertainty of how long migrants will be detained, "prison-like" conditions in centres and the treatment of those displaying symptoms of mental illness.

The UK government blasted the report, saying it did not "recognise much" of its content.

About the refuges and warmongers

As a result of the wars unleashed by the U.S. after September 11, 2001, 38,000,000 civilians were displaced.

This is the second highest result in world history. Only World War II resulted in more refugees.

Direct military aggressions, the so-called "war on terror" which led to the creation of ISIS, and economic strangulation have all led to disastrous consequences for the people of a number of states in the Middle East and North Africa, forcing ordinary people to flee their homes, cities, villages and states to other countries.

According to a report https://t.co/MLXyekTZTQ by the Watson Institute for International Studies (an interdisciplinary research center at Brown University, Rhode Island, USA) and with the assistance of Boston University:

  1. #Afghanistan - 5.9 million refugees
  2. #Pakistan - 3.7 million refugees
  3. #Yemen - 4.6 million refugees
  4. #Somalia - 4.3 million refugees
  5. #Philippines - 1.8 million refugees
  6. #Libya - 1.2 million refugees
  7. #Syria - 7.1 million refugees

The report is based on data from 2001 to 2020 + some data collected in 2021.

It is based on the UN data, U.S. documents and information from public sources.

However, the report itself states that 38,000,000 is a very conservative estimate and in reality, the figure can reach from 49,000,000 to 60,000,000, which actually reaches the figures of World War II.

...

To these processes can be added the huge number of refugees from #Ukraine after the U.S.-backed coup d'état and civil war that broke out there.

And in general about aircraft carriers: any aircraft carrier because of its size and clumsiness is a very easy target for any hypersonic missiles. Those who believe in the effectiveness of aircraft carriers are stuck in the past.

Nigel Farage comments on the likelihood of #Britain gearing up to fight in a #war against #Russia. He was asked whether Russia going in to Ukraine was because the West was seen as weak, and he cited the abysmal withdrawal of troops from Afghanistan under the leadership of Joe Biden as one reason. The best thing Nigel Farage said about Ukraine-Russia was that it's time for everyone to get round the negotiating table.

There was also some talk about Donald Trump's win in New Hampshire

#Oman is the only country in the region that has closed its airspace to American and British planes bombing Yemen

Currently, Oman has closed its airspace to aircraft from the countries of the anti-Houthi coalition, which also includes the #UnitedStates, #Britain, #Australia, the #Netherlands and a number of other countries.

What is interesting is that Oman has long-standing military-political relations with Britain and the United States, but nevertheless did not support the operation, unlike Bahrain, which made its military bases and airfields available to the troops of the anti-Houthi coalition .

#Canada #Geemany
PS. Disgusting #Qatar, #Bahrain, #UAE and #SaudiArabia have all supporting the atrocities against #Yemen.

The right to protest is under threat in Britain, undermining a pillar of democracy

  • For holding a sign outside a courthouse reminding jurors of their right to acquit defendants, a retiree faces up to two years in prison.
  • For hanging a banner reading “Just Stop Oil” off a bridge, an engineer got a three-year prison sentence.
  • Just for walking slowly down the street, scores of people have been arrested.

They are among hundreds of environmental activists arrested for peaceful demonstrations in the U.K., where tough new laws restrict the right to protest.

Why are so many #Brits apathetic or so sure that their tiny lives are all there is to existence? Most are incapable of agapē (love-in-action) for anyone outside their circle of loved-ones. Egotistic and selfish to their very cores. Hence why #BREXIT came to pass and why all kinds of #hate, hatefulness & hate-crime are flourishing. #Fascism, or at least some kind of ultra-right-wing #totalitarianism is now the one-way street along which these once great isles are now travelling. #Fairness, #Justice, #Equity have all been sacrificed so that Brits do not have to think: think for themselves; distracting themselves at every opportunity so they do not need to think whatsoever. Unthinkingly, Brits have placed themselves in a gaol with nought but gruel to sustain us. I recall #AllegoryOfTheCave from #Plato’s #Republic. Wake up #Britain: let us be known as #GreatBritain once more!

“[T]he other inmates of the cave do not even desire to leave their prison, for they know no better life.”

I am one of the 2,000,000 disabled individuals who received zero #UKgov support.

Under the #Covid19 #pandemic #Lockdown, “The Government was so scared of what people might think, suddenly forced to live on so little, that they gave basic benefits a little boost during this time, by £20 per week (£1,040 a year), up from around £70 in normal times. But they didn’t add this extra cash to old-school benefits. Two million #disabled people didn’t get anything extra. Determined to push people on to #UniversalCredit (#UC), and citing creaky old computer systems for the old-style benefits, the Government said it couldn’t be done.”

Craig Murray, defender of Julian Assange, detained under Britain’s anti-terror laws

Murray’s interrogation has an unmistakable meaning: domestic opposition to Israel’s war of annihilation against the Palestinians in Gaza is being criminalised.

After #Gueterres words, the Israeli Foreign Minister demanded the resignation of the #UN Secretary General and unilaterally canceled his meeting with him.

“He does not represent the most important members of the UN, certainly not the #US, #Germany, #France or #Britain, which have supported Israel,” he said.

He also said that “obviously, we are going to have to reconsider our entire relationship with the United Nations.”

“We have been complaining for some time about how the UN and its representatives act in Israel, distorting reality.

They do not report what is really happening, they take things out of context, they refuse to verify our reports of terrorist attacks (…) and they take the words of #Hamas as if they were the word of God,” he added.
