Verhafteter Soldat tritt in Hungerstreik

Bundeswehrsoldat nach Verweigerung von Corona-Impfung und Geldstrafe festgenommen / BSW-Abgeordneter in Gespräch mit Gefängnisleitung / Wehrrechtsexperte: Corona-Impfpflicht für Soldaten „unzulässig“

Der kürzlich verhaftete #Bundeswehrsoldat Alexander #Bittner ist am 17. September aus #Protest gegen seine #Festnahme in einen „trockenen #Hungerstreik“ getreten. Der Oberfeldwebel, der in der Justizvollzugsanstalt (#JVA) Aichach bei Augsburg einsitzt, nimmt keine Nahrung und kein Wasser mehr zu sich. Bittner war im Oktober 2022 wegen #Gehorsamsverweigerung schuldig gesprochen worden, weil er sich keinen #mRNA-basierten #Corona-Impfstoff injizieren lassen wollte.

First conviction under Hong Kong's security law for wearing 'seditious' T-shirt

by Reuters

HONG KONG --

A Hong Kong man on Monday pleaded guilty to sedition for wearing a
T-shirt with a protest slogan, becoming the first person convicted
under the city's new national security law passed in March.

Chu Kai-pong, 27, pleaded guilty to one count of "doing with a
seditious intention an act."

Under the new security law, the maximum sentence for the offense has
been expanded from two years to seven years in prison and could even go
up to 10 years if "collusion with foreign forces" was found involved.

Chu was arrested on June 12 at a MTR station wearing a T-shirt with the
slogan "Liberate Hong Kong, revolution of our times" and a yellow mask
printed with "FDNOL"- the shorthand of another slogan, "five demands,
not one less."

Both slogans were frequently chanted in the huge, sometimes violent,
pro-democracy protests in 2019 and June 12 was a key kick-off day of
the months-long unrests.

Chu told police that he wore the T-shirt to remind people of the
protests, the court heard.

Chief Magistrate Victor So, handpicked by the city leader John Lee to
hear national security cases, adjourned the case to Thursday for
sentencing.

Hong Kong was returned from Britain to China in 1997 under Beijing's
promise of guaranteeing its freedoms, including freedom of speech,
would be protected under a "one country, two systems" formula.

Beijing imposed a national security law in 2020 punishing secession,
subversion, terrorism or collusion with foreign forces with up to life
in prison, after the months-long protests in the financial hub.

In March 2024, Hong Kong passed a second new security law, a home-grown
ordinance also known as "Article 23" according to its parent provision
in the city's mini constitution, the Basic Law.

Critics, including the U.S. government have expressed concerns over the
new security law and said the vaguely defined provisions regarding
"sedition" could be used to curb dissent.

Hong Kong and Chinese officials have said it was necessary to plug
"loopholes" in the national security regime.


Five Demands, Not One Less

Calls Mount for U.S. to Investigate, Hold Israel Accountable for Killing Ayşenur Ezgi Eygi

The body of Ayşenur Ezgi Eygi, the 26-year-old Turkish American activist
who was killed by Israeli forces in the occupied West Bank, has arrived
in Turkey ahead of her funeral. On Thursday, Ayşenur's father, Mehmet
Suat Eygi, praised Turkey for investigating the killing and called on
the U.S. to do the same.

Mehmet Suat Eygi: "America is a different country. When there is
injustice or torment toward its citizens or they are killed in any
country in the world, it lands on that country like the eagle on its
emblem. But when the subject is Israel, there is more of an effort to
dodge it. But I want to believe that people will listen to their
conscience."

Earlier this week, The Washington Post published an investigation
corroborating eyewitness accounts that the protests Ayşenur Ezgi Eygi
had been taking part in were already over when Israeli soldiers opened
fire and killed her.

Meanwhile, three top Democrats from Ayşenur's home state of Washington -
Senators Maria Cantwell and Patty Murray and Congressmember Pramila
Jayapal - called on the Biden administration to investigate her killing.
On Wednesday, hundreds of people gathered at a Seattle beach for a vigil
honoring the recent University of Washington graduate.
