The Nadeem Centre for the Rehabilitation of Victims of Violence tries to monitor torture in Egypt. The government, finding this embarrassing, is shutting it down.

Shot for choosing who to marry

vendredi 19 février 2016 à 01:00

Each year, a thousand other women in Pakistan are murdered by their families. Sharmeen Obaid was shot by her father for choosing who to marry. By a freak accident, she survived to tell the tale.

The killer got off without punishment after she was pressured to "forgive" him.

Until state punishes these killers, private revenge is justified. Feminists in Pakistan would be justified in organizing to kill these killers.

Big Pharma is trying to whitewash its image with a campaign directed only at 7000 elite policymakers.

This way, they avoid the embarrassment that would result if the rest of us saw their bullshit.

Selling student debt

vendredi 19 février 2016 à 01:00

The US government is selling student debt to collection agencies, which immediately pile on more debt, and send US marshals to arrest debtors.

A plutocratic state regards the people as its prey.

As protesters in Berlin called Netanyahu a war criminal German thugs threatened to prosecute them for saying so.

Another instance of disrespect for freedom of speech.
