Urgent Action: ARBITRARILY DETAINED CRITIC RISKS HARSH SENTENCE (Egypt: UA 89.23)

Hisham Kassem, a prominent Egyptian opposition politician and publisher, is facing a sentence of up to three years in prison on defamation and other politically-motivated charges brought against him solely for the exercise of his right to freedom of expression, including for publicly criticising a former government minister.

On 22 August, Hisham Kassem’s lawyers learned that he was referred to trial by the Cairo Economic Misdemeanours Court on charges of slander, libel, insulting a public official and intentionally disturbing the authorities. If convicted, he faces up to three years of imprisonment, according to his lawyer.

The Egyptian authorities must stop using criminal defamation laws to muzzle dissidents and amend the Egyptian Penal Code and other relevant laws to bring them in line with Egypt’s obligations under international human rights law including by decriminalizing “insult” and “defamation” and treating “defamation” as a matter for civil litigation.

His trial has been marred by breaches of his right to adequate defence and other fair trial safeguards. A verdict is expected on 16 September. He must be immediately and unconditionally released.

TAKE ACTION:

Write a letter in your own words or using the sample below as a guide to one or both government officials listed. You can also email, fax, call or Tweet them.

The country of freedom and ridiculous democracy.

The moment of the violent arrest of the economics professor of Emory University Caroline Fohlinin in the state of Georgia

After these scenes, there must be a position for all universities around the world to stand with the people of Palestine in Gaza. All hypocritical authorities and rulers who support the Nazi terrorist Israelis must be confronted.

Excerpts:

Powerful governments cast humanity into an era devoid of effective international rule of law, with civilians in conflicts paying the highest price

Rapidly changing artificial intelligence is left to create fertile ground for racism, discrimination and division in landmark year for public elections

Standing against these abuses, people the world over mobilized in unprecedented numbers, demanding human rights protection and respect for our common humanity

The world is reaping a harvest of terrifying consequences from escalating conflict and the near breakdown of international law, said Amnesty International as it launched its annual The State of the World’s Human Rights report today, delivering an assessment of human rights in 155 countries. Amnesty International also warned that the breakdown of the rule of law is likely to accelerate with rapid advancement in artificial intelligence (AI) which, coupled with the dominance of Big Tech, risks a “supercharging” of human rights violations if regulation continues to lag behind advances.

...

“Israel’s flagrant disregard for international law is compounded by the failures of its allies to stop the indescribable civilian bloodshed meted out in Gaza. Many of those allies were the very architects of that post-World War Two system of law. Alongside Russia’s ongoing aggression against Ukraine, the growing number of armed conflicts, and massive human rights violations witnessed, for example, in Sudan, Ethiopia and Myanmar – the global rule-based order is at risk of decimation.”

...

“In an increasingly precarious world, unregulated proliferation and deployment of technologies such as generative AI, facial recognition and spyware are poised to be a pernicious foe – scaling up and supercharging violations of international law and human rights to exceptional levels,” said Agnès Callamard.

#FREEASSANGE !

Priti Patel (The UK Home Secretary) signs order to extradite Julian Assange to US over espionage charges Yesterday.

The US-UK treaty explicitly prohibits extradition for political offences. Priti Patel signed the order anyway.

Journalist that publish classified information that expose human rights violations should be protected not persecuted.

Telling the truth is a revolutionary act. And it is the only way to keep society from straying into the abyss.

This is the most disgusting morally bankrupt decision in recent years. The UK Home Secretary just now signed off on extraditing Julian Assange to the US to be tortured for the rest of his life for the crime of journalism.

Wikileaks called the development ‘a dark day for press freedom and British democracy’ and confirmed the order will be appealed

Who is the eivl?

Who is the terrorist?

Hamas fights armed forces but israeli forces bombs and shoots kids and mums . Very clear truth.

Breaking : Now Isrelaeli forces asks people of gaza to move towards Al Wehda st. Then shoots them and let them falling on land and no one can approash of the whole area . Any one that moves they shoot him .

Now the whole world knows and watch but no one reacts .

Is this fair ? Is the UN useful? Is there any use for the interntional criminal court ?!!!!!

Deaf and blind institutions

القوات الاسرائيليةتطلب من اهل غزة التحرك باتجاه شارع الوحدة ثم نطلق عليهم النار وتتركهم ملقون علي الارض مصابين ولا يسمحون لأحد بالاقتراب لانقاذهم وكل مايتحرك يطلقون عليه النار

Amnesty International USA sent a letter on October 3, 2022, to governors and secretaries of state nationwide urging them to ban guns at and near polling places to ensure the safety of voters, poll workers and people in the vicinity.

Amid rising political violence, Amnesty International USA (AIUSA) called on governors and secretaries of state to enact measures to guarantee that polling places are free from intimidation of gun violence during the upcoming midterm elections. The letter references the political unrest that followed the January 6th attack on the Capitol, the increase in white supremacist violence across the country and other threats in asking governors and secretaries of state to do all they can to ensure voters’ safety.

“This year’s election with its supercharged rhetoric and issues including reproductive rights, gun rights, refugee and migrant rights, the war in Ukraine and economic issues has the potential again of seeing armed election monitors and armed voters at polls across the country. The presence of firearms at polling places will act as a force multiplier for violence and could result in abuses of the right to life,” the letter reads.

A serious topic I attack with some humour first to contextualize the 'crazy' we find ourselves in. That the 'real' reality is collectively kept hidden by the West...
