Partial #justice. No amount of money will compensate for decades of humiliation to the millions of Iraqis dead, living and unborn.

Former Syrian #Prison Official Charged with #Torture

Source: https://www.justice.gov/usao-cdca/pr/former-syrian-prison-official-charged-torture

In that role, #Alsheikh allegedly ordered subordinates to inflict and was sometimes personally involved in inflicting severe physical and mental #pain and suffering on political and other prisoners.

Isn't that exciting? The American #justice #system knows exactly what torture is and can even convict foreigners for it. Unfortunately, it is blind with its own #military or with the #CIA, or can someone explain to me why nobody was punished for #Guantanamo? #Bush admitted to ordering torture after #911 and is still walking around free. This is not only a disgrace to the #legal system but also totally undemocratic, because in a #democracy all people must be equal before the #law.

UN rights chief urges accountability in #Syria, sees huge chance for fair transition

Source: https://www.reuters.com/world/middle-east/un-rights-chief-urges-accountability-syria-sees-huge-chance-fair-transition-2024-12-09/

"We will need to make sure that those who are responsible for these violations, be it on the side of the previous #government, the #president and others, but also all others who are #responsible for #violations - that they are brought to account," U.N. High Commissioner for Human Rights #VolkerTurk told a #Geneva #press briefing, calling for meticulous preservation of evidence.

As always, everything is cleared up and the butchers of #humanity are accused except of course US #war #crimes in Syria and #CIA #torture, which has been proven to have taken place in Syria. Because everyone knows that the US is above the #law and only the others are accused.

Alternative to #Geneva Conventions

This is an attempt to show the world the consequences of a ‘neutral’ attitude to crimes against humanity. If we continue to ignore #Russia's violation of the Geneva Conventions, it will mean that we live in a new reality where torture and murder are allowed.

The document is an alternative to the #GenevaConventions

Its articles describe the "norms" of the Russian Federation regarding the treatment of prisoners of war: #abuse, #beatings, #starvation, sexual #violence, #torture, etc.

His name was not #Navalny so when #Israel kidnapped him from his #Hospital in #Gaza and #raped him to death, no western leader mentioned his name.

He didn't become front page news.

His wife didn't become the new love of the #CIA and #EU and a celebrity.

No sanctioned were imposed on his killers, nor the leaders of Israel or companies helping and supporting them to commit war crimes.

I’m so freaking sick the hypocrisy of the world and the silence of almost everyone who don’t seems to have any empathy for the victims of the out of control genocidal regime of Netanyahu.

The fucking “world” didn’t even lift a finger when these pigs recorded gang raping one of their victims. Why would they care about a man they can’t even pronounce his name being killed during one of those rape/torture sessions that Israeli soldiers do to defend themselves.

Gaza was a test. And accurately uncovered how disgustingly inhumane people are. If the live broadcast of an ongoing genocide doesn’t get them to stop their support of Israel, then it just simply proves that their hate of Palestinians, Arabs abs Muslims is far greater than their fake humanity.

And for the case of Dr Adnan Elbarsh, he will be just another name on the long list of the victims of the colonialist project of Israeli state.

After #Biden apologizes for Native boarding schools, #Oklahoma tribal leaders urge action

More than 417 schools were funded by the U.S. to assimilate Native American #children, according to a federal report under Biden and his Interior secretary, Deb Haaland. More schools — 87 — were located in Oklahoma than in any other state.

The Last Days of Mankind

Today, each one of the assumptions that underpinned western policymaking and journalism for nearly three decades lie shattered

Pankaj Mishra (N+1)

(...) [J]ournalism had moved from being a neutral filter between the popular imagination and the external world. It had taken charge of forging reality itself. (...)

(...) Today, the war on terror is widely accepted as a military and geopolitical failure. But it is still not fully understood as a massive intellectual and moral fiasco: an attempt by the Western media as well as the political class to forge reality itself, which failed catastrophically, but not without embedding cruelty and mendacity deep and enduringly in public life. And partly because this disaster was unacknowledged—editors and writers pushing false narratives, and cheerleading large-scale violence, remained entrenched, and even received promotions—it is being reenacted today in the Western media’s coverage of Israel’s war on Gaza: another war that has ignited a bonfire of international legal and moral norms and deadened and perverted consciences. (...)

#PACE hearing on Julian #Assange's #detention and conviction and their chilling effects on human rights

watch: https://www.youtube.com/live/Mq85IZMeigc?t=746s

It is a shame for Western democracy that neither #Sweden nor the #UK have a review and a committee of inquiry into the failure of justice and US interference in the supposedly independent judiciary in the Assange case. Unfortunately, many politicians in Western Europe believe that human rights are only violated in Russia, China or Afghanistan, but not on their own doorstep. Distracted by the many crises and the rise of far-right parties, Europe is heading straight into diabolical chaos 😱

He was no Navalny and didn't die in Russia, he died after months of mistreatment and barbaric torture, which is perfectly OK by the "Civilized West" and defenders of "Human Rights" in #Europe, #US, #Canada and #Australia and others.

His murder didn't even make the news in most places and no one will ever know his name.

Because his murderers are "god chosen people" and "children of light" who are defending "western values".

Now shut up and watch the circus of US election and clap for EU sending an investigative team to Ukraine to fact check Russian alleged war crimes. After all those are white christian victims not like this man who was from the wrong religion and skin color.

Now that Assange is free again, the following questions are imperative for the Western legal system: (Please send them to your Ministry of Justice, because they won't come up with them on their own!)

1) Who will be held accountable for the torture of Assange, which has been denounced by the UN?
2) Who is responsible for the interference of American secret services in the European legal system?
3) Why was Assange wanted with a Red Notice by European arrest warrant and an alleged war criminal like Gadaffi only by Orange Notice?
4) Why has no one in the Swedish legal system been held accountable for the many transgressions?
5) Who bears the costs of the illegal prosecution of an innocent person?
6) How did the situation come to such a head? Is there no one with common sense in the legal system?
7) Why do none of these questions matter and everyone carries on working as if nothing had happened?

They also reported torture, including rape and sexual abuse by Israeli forces, denial of medical care, and poor detention conditions for the general detainee population.
