Bribes with immunity

Brazilian politicians have proposed laws to shield themselves from prosecution.

Egyptian courts

samedi 12 novembre 2016 à 01:00

Italy is providing training and support to Egyptian courts.

In addition to use of torture and the death penalty, Egypt's courts are basically irrational. They sometimes sentence hundreds of people at once hardly bothering to find out what each person did.

Since Egypt's courts will exist in any case, training judges in paying attention to details such as guilt or innocence seems like a good thing even if the other injustices continue, provided it can be done without endorsing Egypt's courts in any way,

However, providing facilities or equipment is going too far.

Suspected PISSI supporters

Iraqi thugs tortured and killed villagers suspected of being supporters of PISSI.

Maybe those people did support PISSI, but that doesn't excuse killing them arbitrarily in a place that has been recaptured.

And nothing excuses torture.
