A football player who sued his team in Qatar for not paying his salary has been blocked from leaving Qatar by denying him an exit visa.
It is a fundamental injustice to require people to get an exit visa to leave a country. The Soviet Union did this. But what else would you expect from a country that works foreigners to death?
I think you'd have to be a fool to go to Qatar.
Crime gangs are worried that Pope Francis will interfere with their corruption of the Vatican Bank.
Canada encourages other countries not to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
This shows that Canada's government has the explicit goal of frying our planet. Canada already has a clear policy of trying to increase its own fossil fuel exports, but this goes even further.
Countries greatly threatened by global heating, such as Bangladesh and Spain, should regard Canada's conduct as an act of war. It can kill millions of people.
The UK government condemns Mohammed Ahmed Mohamed's escape, but the UK kidnaped him after helping to torture him, and then denied him justice. Why shouldn't he escape?
He might have despicable Islamist views that don't respect other people's human rights. But that is no excuse for torturing him, kidnaping him, or suppressing his lawsuit for torture.
When a government is accused of crimes, and the same government obstructs justice, that is grounds to declare it guilty as charged.
