Greetings fellow bloggers and readers!
This story broke 2 weeks ago in Euronews. I would wish for you to pay attention to this one. I believe it is worthy of a human rights inquiry!!! According to the parents, their son died and was beaten and tortured while in police custody. Ukraine has a gentleman running for an official position in the country as a human rights protection Ombudsman. So, it is apparent that their is an ongoing problem within the country that they have apparently recognized.
Everywhere their is a need to elevate the fact that Global Human Rights are for everyone!!! Please, if you get a few minutes, send an email to the Ukrainian Presidents office.! You can email the Ukrainian embassy in canada at: emb_ca@ukremb.ca. I know it is not the most direct route, but enough attention might get the pot of soup from cold to a little simmer, right?
How about an email to the US State department Human Rights office? http://www.humanrights.gov
Let them know you are watching what goes on in the Ukraine. WE CARE about people. It is our mission to care about all types... every type of rights... everywhere, correct?
Thank-you to those that see my blog and follow it. Spend an extra minute. Forward this post. Tweet it. Put it into the spotlight on the Internet. Post it on Face-book. Let that family know that just lost their son two weeks ago, at the hand of the police in the Ukraine, that human rights are for everyone and that we care. Global Human Rights Are For Everyone!
Best

20 yr old Christian Man Tortured in Pakistan Jail?
Rights Group in Pakistan Seeks Answers on Christian’s Death - NYTimes.com
Prominent Human Rights group sources allege that a 20 yr old young Christian man was found dead in his cell with evidence of torture found on his body. Christians are a minority in Pakistan being a Muslin dominated state. The man's death is under investigation. According to the report from NY Times.com:
"Mr. Fanish was arrested on Saturday in the village of Jathikai and charged with blasphemy, a controversial statute often used against minorities in Pakistan, human rights groups say. A Muslim family accused him of "desecrating a Koran", but his local supporters said the family claimed he had been "admiring their daughter."
Furthermore according to the Times:
Apparently, we will quite possibly not get to the bottom of this, but maybe there is a chance. There is a strong coalition of Human Rights groups "The Joint Action Committee For Peoples Rights "on it" so we will see how they manage. Let us just hope that this young man's family receives some sort of justice for whatever happened to there son in that Pakistani jail cell for "blasphemy against a Koran". Please, is this really a trumped up way of getting rid of non-believers of anything other than the Muslim faith?

Furthermore according to the Times:
"The police said Mr. Fanish had hanged himself in his cell, using a strip of material ripped from his clothing. The Joint Action Committee for People’s Rights, an alliance of more than 30 human rights groups, said in a statement it had talked to witnesses who saw marks of torture on his body.
The group said evidence in the case “raises strong suspicion of the involvement of the jail officials” in Mr. Fanish’s death.
Ms. Jahangir said local politicians often collude with attackers, covering up their crimes, partly out of a deep-seated prejudice against minorities — Christians and Ahmadis, a minority sect in Islam — and out of a reflexive sympathy with other Muslims."Apparently, we will quite possibly not get to the bottom of this, but maybe there is a chance. There is a strong coalition of Human Rights groups "The Joint Action Committee For Peoples Rights "on it" so we will see how they manage.

London Has A Say; New Torture Claims; Pointing Fingers at US Doctors
US doctors and psychologists more complicit in torture than previously thought
With all the rhetoric running a muck surrounding the "Gitmo" torture allegations and the rest of the ACLU's special powers to have the Attorney General spotlight the CIA for abuse and torture allegations, this article comes as a bit of a surprise from our "friends" from across the Atlantic. It seems that our Doctors who are of course regarded with the highest esteem; are now being implicated as well according to a recent submission to the British Medical Journal. The articles extract quotes: "The new report’s authors argue that the information shows that health professionals played central roles in developing, implementing, and providing justification for torture."Its apparent that the CIA was not just routinely running the operations alone while "torturing" people and that it at least was supervised by health professionals? This is a good thing then right? I guess it all depends on your point of view. I was really surprised when I received this alert.
Apparently the medical community will be called out and implicated right along with the CIA interrogators with this whole torture mess allegation scandal. Human rights will be answered for one way or another, or at least so it would seem. I am still wondering what else is going to "come out in the wash"??? Lets keep our eye out as new developments continue to unfold.
