San Cristobal de las Casas, Chis. May 15. The eight Tzeltales (a local indigenous group) from San Sebastian

Bachajon, under criminal process in El Amate, have been subjected to forced hard labor for up to 24 hours by “precisos” who are a group of prisoners supported by the authorities. However, this morning Miguel Vazquez Moreno was released, the only prisoner who is from a Zapatista community.

Sri Lankan Army burying the evidence of war crimes?

20-05-2009 09:53

A day after the conflict was said to be officially over, there are reports coming out of Sri Lanka overnight that over 1000 Tamils were shot on sight in the enclave where civilians & LTTE forces had been confined in the last few weeks. There are reports that Sri Lankan soldiers were using mechanical diggers to dig large holes in the same region (Mullaivaikal - northern Sri Lanka). An estimated 25,000 people are dead since January this year and 30,000 injured. This figure is expected to rise dramatically if the whereabouts of 25 to 50 thousand civilians who were left in the enclave and still confirmed to have been there last Sunday can no longer be verified.
Meanwhile, Tim Martin from Act Now! continues into day-3 of his indefinite hunger strike outside the US Embassy.

Obama’s Animal Farm: Bigger, Bloodier Wars Equal Peace and Justice

20-05-2009 00:19

"The deteriorating position of the US is manifest in the tightening circle around all the roads leading in and out of Afghanistan’s capital, Kabul as well as the expansion of Taliban control and influence throughout the Pakistan-Afghanistan border. Obama’s inability to recruit new NATO reinforcements means that the White House’s only chance to advance its military driven empire is to escalate the number of US troops and to increase the kill ratio among any and all suspected civilians in territories controlled by the Afghan armed resistance."

CACI disowned by insurers

19-05-2009 21:42
