Poles are often sentenced by their conservative administration

06-01-2011 09:40 | Repression | World

We are Polish Ras Tafari Family. It happened already several times, that members of our community who were found in posession of cannabis, were sentenced without any court and any proper trial. It is very typical for recent Polish judical system, that cases do not make even to the courts, and public is disinformed about human rights for an impartial judge in the court. Instead, they are judged by the member of the ultra-catholic administration.

What’s Behind the War on WikiLeaks and "miirrors."

04-01-2011 19:50 | Analysis | Anti-militarism | World

"Though mothers are not the most impartial observers, what Assange’s mother told an Australian newspaper had the ring of truth. "Living by what you believe in and standing up for something is a good thing," she said. "He sees what he is doing as a good thing in the world, fighting baddies, if you like."
That may sound a bit quixotic, but Assange and his associates appear the opposite of benighted. Still, with the Pentagon PR man Geoff Morrell and even Attorney General Eric Holder making thinly disguised threats of extrajudicial steps, it is not totally farfetched to worry about Assange’s personal safely.  Again, the media is the key. No one said it better than Monseñor Oscar Romero of El Salvador, who just before he was assassinated 25 years ago, warned, "The corruption of the press is part of our sad reality, and it reveals the complicity of the oligarchy."

The Deadly Experiment – Israel’s Murderous Testing Ground for ‘Non-Lethal’ Weapons

04-01-2011 19:45 | Anti-militarism | Palestine | World

“The Israeli government and its army have been for years now using the West Bank and Gaza as their testing ground. The Palestinians are their guinea pigs. The Israeli army uses tear gas that would probably be banned in any other countries in the world. They shoot tear gas, directly at protesters, once again, an illegal act. But a very rewarding one. Israel’s security industry is booming. It’s never been this good. Countries all over the world are buying Israel’s expertise in security, crowd control and weaponry every day. Israeli soldiers are training other countries commandos all over the planet”[1]
