tardigrada, (edited ) in Iran, child bride and year-long victim of domestic violence Samira Sabzian who killed her 'husband' has been been executed in Ghezelhesar Prison

I don’t want to disturb the thread here about religion, islam, and the like, but the point here is that a young girl was forced into a marriage at the age of 15, then raped and beaten by her ‘husband’, and then hanged by an autocratic regime because she obviously found no other way out of the horror. The Iranian regime is in charge of that, the people responsible are to be held accountable, rather than any religion, ideology, or the like.

Vilian,

exactly, also these type of shit can happen in any totalitary regime www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-52651477

Gh05t,

This is the point I was trying to get at; although very inelegantly. Thanks for this.

jarfil,

This is horrible and should be documented… but let’s be realistic: nobody will be held accountable as long as Iran has Oil and Nukes… and by the time it runs out of those, the people responsible will likely be long dead.

All we can do is hope for Cold Fusion to become a reality, so all the Oil based dictatorships would collapse.

It’s not akin to genocide. It is textbook genocide.

bermuda, in Navalny Found in Arctic Prison After 3-Week Disappearance

Surprised they kept him alive. Although this is the Moscow times so I honestly would not be surprised if he’s not even alive.

YaBoyMax,

The Moscow Times is actually now headquartered in Amsterdam and has been banned in Russia. I wouldn’t exactly consider it to have a pro-Russian bias.

jarfil,

“You not believe Moscow Times? You free to go check, they have room for you…” /s

But seriously, I don’t even fully believe that Prigozhin is dead. The last trustworthy news I’ve heard from Russia, is from that one guy in Moscow complaining about how “rude” it is for Ukraine to launch drone attacks at night.

Fucked up

kembik, in Navalny Found in Arctic Prison After 3-Week Disappearance

Wouldn’t surprise me if they created this news cycle intentionally to make the point. Upcoming ‘election’ and all.

tardigrada, in Navalny Found in Arctic Prison After 3-Week Disappearance

This is a sign how powerful Navalny still is in Putin’s imagination even from his prison cell. Everything seems done for Putin’s victory in the upcoming election in March, all opposition eliminated, but he still fears the ‘dissident’ so much to locate him at the edge of the Arctic Circle.

awwwyissss,

And he knows he can’t kill him and make him a martyr. Incredibly brave of Navalny to return to Russia like he did. A real Russian leader.

S_204, in One man’s mission to end the Uyghur genocide in China: a physician, who helped set up a campaign to protest against the persecution of the Uyghurs, says that Jews had “a duty to join the protest”

Interesting how the world is so silent on the genocide clearly occuring in China and focusing on the fastest growing population in the world in Gaza.

Not saying one tragedy is greater than the other, just interested in how social media has influenced the behaviour of the younger generation. Ain’t too many pro Uyghur showing up on tik tok.

With hope, 2024 brings peace to gazans and Uyghurs. I’ve got a feeling it’s closer at hand for the gazans with Hamas on their heels but time will tell.

Islamic jihadism is a problem that the world needs to get in front of.

The problem is, there’s a lot of wealth in the places that are true believers in Islamic jihadism and that wealth is being used nefariously to undermine liberal western democratic ideals. Watching people cheer for Osama bin Laden should be a real eye opener for the west but it might already be too late.

S_204, in ‘Why are they forgetting about us?’: Sudan watches allies turn from war to aid Ukraine and Gaza

Qatari money isn’t being used to prop up a terrorist organization in Sudan, obviously they’re not going to get the same support the general populations attention has been pushed away from Sudan in favor of Chinese psyop apps and Qatari state media.

American politicians aren’t any different than the general public. They go where they’re led. If they don’t they quite often get run out of office.

S_204, in Sold to Salafism: The millions for which Golf-pro Jon Rahm sold himself to Saudi Arabia hide tortured citizens, executed minors, women sentenced to perpetual confinement, and enslaved foreign workers

Interesting how the Saudi export of their religion is a problem but you’ve got people in the streets cheering for Hamas who is just as brutal if not worse in their upholding of their interpretation of Islamic laws. One’s certainly more subtle than attacking and killing a bunch of civilians but both are troublesome for Western democractic ideals.

Iran and Qatari investments are paying off . Better than the investment in a golf league… y’know, if you don’t value human life that is.

Oh so sorry we misplaced your paperwork very badly for you Mr Navalny, I cannot say that we have a death certificate for you but I’m sure we could find one if necessary.

BubsyFanboy, in Polish government puts public media into liquidation amid dispute with president
@BubsyFanboy@szmer.info avatar

Before you comment, this is the full announcement:

Announcement of the Minister of Culture and National Heritage

Due to the decision of the President of the Republic of Poland to suspend financing of public media, I decided to put into liquidation the companies Telewizja Polska S.A. and Polskie Radio S.A. and Polish Press Agency S.A.

In the current situation, such action will ensure the continued operation of these companies, carry out the necessary restructuring and prevent layoffs of employees in the above-mentioned companies. companies employees due to lack of financing.

The state of liquidation may be withdrawn at any time by the owner.

Bartłomiej Sienkiewicz Minister of Culture and National Heritage

And now some context from the article:

Today, Duda proposed his own alternative bill that would have maintained other government spending in the budget – such as the public sector pay rises – but did not include the funds for public media.

However, this morning, the speaker of parliament, Szymon Hołownia, who is one of the leaders of the new ruling coalition, said that he would not convene an early sitting of the house to discuss the president’s proposal, as Duda had requested.

This afternoon, before Sienkiewicz’s decision was published, Prime Minister Donald Tusk announced that the cabinet had decided that the 3 billion zloty previously earmarked for public media would instead be spent on cancer treatment and mental healthcare for children.

Tusk added that Duda’s veto had forced the culture minister to make certain decisions, which would be done “calmly and rationally”.

However, Sienkiewicz’s decision was condemned by figures linked to PiS and to the former management of public media. Samuel Pereira, a senior editor at TVP under PiS, said that the “usurpers are trying to bypass the National Court Register” – the body responsible for validating Sinkiewicz’s previous decision.

Shortly afterwards, President Duda’s chief of staff, Marcin Mastalerek, published a statement declaring the decision to put public media into liquidation as “an admission of defeat by the government”.

I’m not an expert in Polish politics, but Tusk is the sort of PM where, yeah. Anything left over from the old regime where there’s still some power left is going to lead directly here.

There’s a lot that needs sorted, and Duda is going to try to fuck things up as much as possible.

Is this Tusk giving Duda the finger, or the reverse?
