She Never Hurt Her #Kids. So Why Is a #Mother Serving More Time Than the Man Who Abused Her #Daughter?

#Women of color are disproportionately prosecuted. These types of #laws are “really enforced in a racist and classist way,” says Stacey Wright, a women’s rights activist who has also studied these cases.

Man Sues City of #Chicago, Claiming Its #AI Wrongly Imprisoned Him

#ShotSpotter is quite controversial. A 2021 report by the MacArthur Project alleged that 89 percent of ShotSpotter alerts lacked any on-site evidence, while a Vice investigation the same year — which cited the horrific March 2021 death of unarmed black 13-year-old named Adam Toledo, who was shot by Chicago #police responding to a ShotSpotter alert — accused the software of racial discrimination.

#Police Linked to #Hacking Campaign to Frame Indian Activists

source: https://www.wired.com/story/modified-elephant-planted-evidence-hacking-police/

Police forces around the world have increasingly used hacking tools to identify and track protesters, expose political dissidents’ secrets, and turn activists’ computers and phones into inescapable eavesdropping bugs. Now, new clues in a case in India connect law enforcement to a hacking campaign that used those tools to go an appalling step further: planting false incriminating files on targets’ computers that the same police then used as grounds to arrest and #jail them.

Possibilities to #protest in #Russia were already significantly limited before the #pandemic, and during the last two years, from March 2020 to Russian attack to #Ukraine, street demonstrations have been banned with the pretext of the #Covid Pandemic. People were demonstrating persecutions against opposition leader Alexey #Navalnyi, and in few other cases, but these ended in massive arrests. But still, there was freedom of speech in social networks, some relatively free medias remained, authorities were making concessions with some local conflicts, such as defence of local green areas from forest clearance.
After the #war began, Russians were protesting with any available means – mass street protests, individual protest by putting messages to windows and balconies, on cards, to clothes (such as peace signs or other anti-war symbols, or symbols of Ukraine), individual pickets, performances, and petitions. Dozens of professions gathered tens of thousands of signatures from their own field with calls to stop the war. But the state implemented new repressive measures to crush protest: short #jail sentences, fines and felony cases were opened with the most ridiculous reasons. In March, the biggest oppositional #media was shut down, and censorship was imposed on the regional media. More than 200 outlets are not functioning as before. Remaining media is under threat of liquidation, so they either stop coverage of the war, or are just repeating propaganda cliches.

Report: Rikers Island #prison is nearly completely controlled by the prisoners, have ‘near total #control

source: https://www.lawenforcementtoday.com/rikers-island-prison-is-nearly-completely-controlled-by-the-prisoners/

“Detainees in some buildings have seized near total control over entire units, deciding who can enter and leave them, records and interviews show. In other buildings, they have wandered in and out of staff break rooms and similarly restricted areas, with some flouting rules against smoking tobacco and #marijuana.

“Much has been made of the crisis gripping Rikers, #NewYork City’s main jail complex — the #pandemic and a subsequent staffing #emergency have taken a brutal toll on incarcerated people and jailers alike — but the sheer lawlessness inside the compound is difficult to fathom.”

Revealed: 6,500 migrant workers have died in Qatar since #WorldCup awarded

Source: https://www.theguardian.com/global-development/2021/feb/23/revealed-migrant-worker-deaths-qatar-fifa-world-cup-2022

The findings expose #Qatar’s failure to protect its 2 million-strong migrant #workforce, or even #investigate the causes of the apparently high rate of #death among the largely young workers.

Every soccer association participating in this World Cup is complicit in the #crime. The Fifa officials who selected this country are now almost all in #jail or wearing shackles.

Your #DNA Test Could Send a Relative to #Jail 😱

Starting with relatives in DNA databases and working through public records and social media, you could narrow in on the right branch of the right family tree, triangulating the mystery person; in other words, you could use the haystack to find the needle.

Journalists Speak Up For Julian Assange

https://speak-up-for-assange.org/journalists-speak-up-for-julian-assange/

'In 1898, French writer #ÉmileZola wrote the open letter J’accuse…! (I accuse) to warn about the #wrongful sentencing to life in prison of a military officer named Alfred Dreyfus on #espionage #charges. Zola’s stance entered #history books and still today stands for our duty to fight #miscarriages-of-justice and to hold the powerful to account. In a #democracy, #journalists can reveal #war-crimes and cases of #torture and #abuse without having to go to #jail. It is the very #role of the #press in a democracy.'

December 1st - A Day to Write To Prisoners!

Prisoners for Peace Day

December 1st is Prisoners for Peace Day. On this day (and every day) we encourage you to show #solidarity with the #activists and #ConscientiousObjectors imprisoned due to their #peace work and their refusal to take #arms and perform #military service.

This year we want to highlight and denounce how countries like #Singapore, the Republic of #Korea, #Eritrea and #Tajikistan continues to prosecute and imprison conscientious objectors.

Find a list of #prisoners for peace here, download the list here or below.

As we get closer to this day, what can you do?
We have been told repeatedly by people who have been sent messages of solidarity while in #prison, either via #letters or solidarity actions, that the moral support of like-minded people has been invaluable. Your solidarity is crucial to remind the #imprisoned refusers and peace activists that they are not alone and that we are aware of the significance of their #resistance. On this day,

  • Join many others from across the world and write to those imprisoned for their peace work and conscientious objection.
  • Encourage your friends, peace group, student, faith or community group to organise a card-writing session (online, or if the Covid-19 regulations allow, physical).
  • Help us spread the word on social media. Use the hashtag #PfPday21 and post your messages of solidarity with prisoners for peace on social media, and invite others to write to those in #jail.

If you have details of other prisoners for peace not yet listed, please write to info@wri-irg.org.

Oval Four: Black men jailed after being framed by racist #police officer have convictions quashed almost 50 years later

Source: https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/crime/oval-four-black-men-arrested-jail-derek-ridgewell-corruption-conviction-racism-a9234026.html

The solicitor who represented Mr Trew and Mr Griffiths said that if police had reviewed Ridgewell’s cases when his #corruption emerged in 1973, “these innocent men’s lives would have been very different”.

A corrupt racist cop puts #innocent people in #jail and a year later he gets busted. But it takes the #court 50 years to notice this? #Justicia is not only #blind but slower than a snail 🐌 😱
