Indigenous Sámi Win Landmark Case against Wind Power Company
In a landmark victory for Indigenous Sámi reindeer herders, the Norwegian Supreme Court ruled in October that the government should never have granted licenses for two wind farms recently constructed on traditional Sámi grazing lands. It found these licenses interfere with the Sámi’s right to cultural enjoyment, in violation of the United Nations International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights.

What can get you in trouble for anti-war speech in Russia?
Wearing blue and yellow, displaying the word “self-censorship” in public, displaying a blank poster in public, etc.
Actually, the "blank" poster read "*** *****." That was assumed to be an anti-war message.
So, Mr. Putin, I would like to tell you
*** *** * ********** *********** ******* ******** **** ** ****** ******.

US: Dismantle Structures of Racism Now
UN Review of US Record on Racial Justice Should Prompt White House Action
https://www.hrw.org/news/2022/08/08/us-dismantle-structures-racism-now
The negative effects of these policies include:\
\
The average white family in the US has roughly eight times the wealth of the average Black family, and white college graduates have over seven times more wealth than Black college graduates.\
\
Almost two million people are locked up across the United States, with Black people imprisoned at a rate three times higher than white people. Black women are imprisoned at 1.7 times the rate of white women.\
\
Discrimination in enforcement of US immigration laws, including the US criminal re-entry statute, which a federal judge found was “enacted with discriminatory purpose” and would not have been enacted absent racial animus, continues unabated.\
\
In 2020, the US had an estimated 580,000 unhoused people, 39 percent of whom were Black, even though Black people are only 12 percent of the US total population.\
\
Though Black and white people use drugs at similar rates, Black people are imprisoned for drug crimes at five times the rate of white people.\
\
Police in the US continue to kill Indigenous, Latinx, and Black people at significantly higher rates, as much as 350 percent more frequently, than white people. Even greater racial disparities attend nonfatal uses of force by police.

Thomas wrote in his concurring opinion
For that reason, in future cases, we should reconsider all of this Court’s substantive due process precedents, including Griswold, Lawrence, and Obergefell.
It's interesting that Thomas didn't mention Loving v. Virginia in that same sentence. He's a black man who lives with his white wife in Virginia, the same state where Mildred and Richard Loving were arrested for being married to each other.

Russia Convicts Pastafarian of Being Affiliated with an "Undesirable Organization"
His name is Mikhail Iosilevich.
https://www.hrw.org/news/2022/05/27/russia-authorities-double-down-persecuting-undesirables
A Russian court on May 27, 2022 handed an activist 20 months of custodial sentence and ordered him to pay civil damages of 100,000 rubles (approximately US$1,500) having found him affiliated with an “undesirable organization,” Human Rights Watch said today. The abusive law underlying the charges, the prosecution and sentencing, individually and together constitute a complete travesty of justice, Human Rights Watch said.\
\
Mikhail Iosilevich, is the first person who may serve prison time for these charges as activists convicted previously had received suspended sentences or were ordered to perform community service (mandatory labor). In 2021, Iosilevich was also the first person placed in pretrial detention on these charges.

A Bleak Week for Rights in the UK
Eroding Civil Liberties Against Backdrop of Falling Living Standards Will Cause Harm
https://www.hrw.org/news/2022/04/30/bleak-week-rights-uk
To say the United Kingdom government was busy over the past week would be a classic British understatement. It steamrolled through parliament four separate pieces of legislation that will do real harm to people’s rights.

Ukraine: Shelling Residential Areas Puts Civilians at Risk
Attacks Intensify Against Government-Controlled Areas in East
Human Rights Watch
https://www.hrw.org/news/2022/02/19/ukraine-shelling-residential-areas-puts-civilians-risk
The shelling of a school, a kindergarten, and residential areas along the line of contact in eastern Ukraine on February 17, 2022, apparently by Russia-backed armed groups, injured civilians and damaged civilian infrastructure, Human Rights Watch said today. The attacks, which injured at least four civilians, severely damaged or destroyed several homes.\
\
Attacks that indiscriminately strike civilian objects violate international humanitarian law, or the laws of war, and if committed willfully amount to war crimes.Fighting has escalated in Ukraine’s eastern region of Donbas amid Russia’s recent, unprecedented military build-up along its border with Ukraine. The Special Monitoring Mission of the Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe (OSCE) reported a significant increase in ceasefire violations in conflict-affected areas along the line of contact on February 17.\
\
At around 9:04 a.m. on February 17, a munition hit a wall of Fairy Tale kindergarten in government-controlled Stanytsia Luhanska and landed in the recreation room. A second shell hit the playground outside.

The truth about Islam and Muhammad! 000001
Read the bloody Quran!
Islam is the most totalitarian, oppressive, misogynistic, pedophile, idiotic, criminal, satanic, backward, terrorist, violent and stupid doctrine that ever existed!
Islam is a doctrine responsible for the destruction of everything that has to do with civilization, culture, arts, science, freedom and human rights.
Denouncing Islam is a categorical imperative.
