OT: Kinda weird... |
We complain about the atrocities in the Sudan (After 25+ Years silence)
But allow evidence from torture victims to stand up in court.....
Something smells bad........
Sudan faces new atrocity charges
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/africa/3554268.stm
'Pro-government militias in Sudan are still attacking civilians despite
pledges by Khartoum to end the violence, a human rights group says.
A report by the US-based group Human Rights Watch details recent cases
of rape and assault in the Darfur region.
Up to 50,000 residents have been killed and many more driven from their
homes.
The UN also accused the government of using helicopter gunships in
Darfur. Sudan denies the charges and insists it is improving security in
the region.
The accusations of fresh atrocities come as a senior UN official begins
a visit to Sudan's neighbour, Chad, amid concerns about 200,000 Sudanese
refugees there. '
Terror suspects' appeal rejected
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk_politics/3553978.stm
'The Court of Appeal has ruled the government acted legally by detaining
10 terrorism suspects without charge.
The foreign nationals were challenging a decision made by the Special
Immigration Appeals Commission that the government was right to hold them.
Their lawyers argued their arrests were based on information gained
through torture at Guantanamo Bay, in Cuba.
Home Secretary David Blunkett said he was pleased with the ruling, but
the men's solicitor called it "terrifying".
Some of the men have been held since December 2001 in Belmarsh prison,
south-east London, and in a psychiatric hospital. '

"The condition of alienation, of being asleep, of being unconscious,
of being out of one's mind, is the condition of the normal man. Society
highly values its normal man.It educates children to lose themselves
and to become absurd,and thus to be normal. Normal men have killed
perhaps 100,000,000 of their fellow normal men in the last fifty years."

The BBC ?
Almost everything.
It's just a mouth-piece for government.
And it gets worse by the day.
