2006/The Saddam Hussein trial and the right of any human being to a fair trial

 

THE SADDAM HUSSEIN TRIAL AND THE RIGHT OF ANY HUMAN BEING TO A FAIR TRIAL

 

by Astrid Essed Saturday, Nov. 18, 2006 at 7:57 AM

 

Not only I object the imposed death-penalty on the former Iraqi president Saddam Hussein and two co-accused, also the trial itself didn’t meet the international standards regarding a fair trial

DISASTER OVER PALESTINE/THE REFUGEE PROBLEM AND THE IDEOLOGY OF TRANSFER

 

by Astrid Essed Wednesday, Jun. 27, 2007 at 3:03 AM

 

In contrary with the allegations of zionist non-deniers, the expulsion of the Palestinians in 1948 and 1967 was no ad hoc war-crime, but a yearlong deliberate planned strategy

2008/Blockade on Gaza/Crime against humanity

 

BLOCKADE ON GAZA/CRIME AGAINST HUMANITY

 

by Astrid Essed Wednesday, Feb. 13, 2008 at 2:44 PM

 

With the whole or partly blockade on Gaza, the Israeli authorities are guilty of crimes against humanity

 

No electricity, people are going hungry, no bread, and no medicine and lots of things that are missing. people are out in the streets now calling for the world to end the starvation and siege. It might be that people’s only option is to break out the borderline and go to Egypt and get food. It’s scary here. no bread, no water at home where I am. I have some leftovers biscuits from two days ago. but my laptop batteries will be flat soon. I will find a new agency from those who have electricity generators to recharge my laptop and keep online, if you don’t hear from me this is why. Again, I fear Israeli warplanes will bomb the people in the streets. people are in lines trying to find bread. I never seen this in all my 23 years life!´ Mohammed Omer”Only prompt, innovative and courageous political action can change the harsh reality of this long-standing occupation, restore normal social and economic life to the Palestinian people, and allow them to live their lives in dignity ”

HAMAS, FROM ISLAMIC REVIVAL MOVEMENT TO PALESTINIAN GOVERNMENT

 

by Astrid Essed Tuesday, Jul. 18, 2006 at 7:06 AM

 

In contary with the leading opinions of the American-European politicians and media, the aim of Hamas, calling by them the ”distruction” of the State of Israel, is not to kill or expell the Israeli-Jewish population, but to dismantle the zionistic State Model and to make an end to 39 year Israeli occupation and settlementspolicy

THE 60TH ANNIVERSARY OF ISRAEL/NOTHING TO CELEBRATE

 

by Astrid Essed Wednesday, May. 14, 2008 at 5:34 PM

 

In contrary to the outburst of festivities among zionists and their adherents, regarding the ´´celebration´´ of the 60th anniversary of the State of Israel, for the Palestinian victims of the etnic cleansings in 1948 and 1967 and the continuing occupation, there is nothing to celebrate Remember the Naqba

ISRAELI ATTACKS ON GAZA/DIRTY WAR ON THE PALESTINIAN CIVILIAN POPULATION

 

by Astrid Essed Saturday, Jan. 10, 2009 at 8:43 AM

 

By their unlawful and systematic character,combined with the blockade of Gaza, housedemolitions and extrajudicial executions, the Israeli attacks on Gaza are a dirty war against the Palestinian civilian population

2009/Western diplomats walk out of Ahmadinejad speech at Durban II/Hypocrisy and violations of human rights

 

WESTERN DIPLOMATS WALK OUT OF AHMADINEJAD SPEECH AT DURBAN II/HYPOCRISY AND VIOLATIONS

OF HUMAN RIGHTS

 

by Astrid Essed Friday, May. 01, 2009 at 1:18 PM

 

Not only the Western boycott of Durban II and the attitude on the Ahmadinejad speech lacks a fundamental respect for fundamental human rights, it is also hypocritical seeing in the light of her implicite support for the Israeli regime of occupation, letting get Israel away with human rights violations and war-crimes

APRIL 30, 2013

  • President Barack Obama walks from the Brady Press briefing room after taking questions from the media at the White House.

    © Reuters 2013
President Obama’s call to end indefinite detention at Guantanamo is encouraging after his long silence on the issue. Though he blamed Congress for the problems at Guantanamo, there are actions he could have taken and can still take now to end indefinite detention there.
Laura Pitter, counterterrorism advisor

US President Barack Obama should move swiftly to fulfill newly repeated promises to end indefinite detention without trial at the US military prison at Guantanamo Bay.

[Human Rights Watch]/Morocco: Tainted trial of Sahrawi civilians

 

MOROCCO: TAINTED TRIAL OF SAHRAWI CIVILIANS

 

Military Court’s Judgment in Case Based on 2010 Western Sahara Clash
APRIL 1, 2013

  • Naâma Asfari, one of 25 Sahrawis convicted by a military court in the Gdeim Izik trial.

    © 2008 Human Rights Watch
While the loss of life at Gdeim Izik is deplorable, the prosecution failed to establish after 26 months of pretrial detention for most defendants a credible case that they were responsible for the violence.
Sarah Leah Whitson, Middle East and North Africa director

(Rabat) – A Moroccan military court has sentenced 25 Sahrawis to prison, including nine to life sentences, without looking into their allegations that their confessions were extracted under torture and other forms of coercion. The defendants include several advocates of human rights and independence for Western Sahara. The confessions were apparently the primary, if not the only, evidence against them, as the court’s written judgment, released the week of March 18, 2013, makes clear.
