Syrian forces killed, tortured 256 children

It quoted one former soldier who said he decided to defect after witnessing an officer shoot a 2-year-old girl in Latakia, then claim he killed her so she wouldn't grow up to be a demonstrator.

How nice ! But this is Islam we are talking about, the worlds death cult.

yeah people will say that this is not true but yet, everyday I can find a story saying different; a suicide bombing here, a honor killing there, 256 kids murdered another time...

Islam is a Death Cult, Bashar al-ASSad is the latest reigning cult leader and he is no closer to being taken out than he was a few months ago.


Newsday
A U.N. investigation has concluded that Syrian forces committed crimes against humanity by killing and torturing hundreds of children, including a 2-year-old girl reportedly shot to death so she wouldn't grow up to be a demonstrator...

The report by a U.N. Human Rights Council panel found that at least 256 children were killed by government forces between mid-March and early November, some of them tortured to death.
"Torture was applied equally to adults and children," said the assessment, released in Geneva. "Numerous testimonies indicated that boys were subjected to sexual torture in places of detention in front of adult men."...

It quoted one former soldier who said he decided to defect after witnessing an officer shoot a 2-year-old girl in Latakia, then claim he killed her so she wouldn't grow up to be a demonstrator.
The list of alleged crimes committed by Syrian forces "include murder, torture, rape and other forms of sexual violence," said the panel's chairman, Paulo Sergio Pinheiro, a Brazilian professor. "We have a very solid body of evidence."

Insurgents tortured in Afghanistan

It's only insurgents being tortured so who cares.

Apparently this is not supported by the Afghan Gov. these people (Muslims) just torture their own just for their own shits and giggles.

It seems so typical of Islam and its people that this is what really happens behind the scenes, just like Muslims attacking any Christian gathering or any other Non-Muslim type people(Christians).

Islam the Religion Of complete and utter Intolerance with a good dose of Torture.

The L.A. Times
Reporting from Kabul, Afghanistan— Suspected insurgents in Afghan custody have been subjected to torture including electric shocks, being hung by their hands and having their genitals twisted, the United Nations mission in Afghanistan said in a report Monday.

The 74-page report, detailing a widespread pattern of brutal abuses, will probably complicate American efforts to hand over security responsibilities to Afghan authorities as a prelude to winding down the Western combat mission in Afghanistan...


The United Nations said the abuse, while routine and systematic, was not based on Afghan government policy, but rather appeared to have been carried out at the initiative of individual jailers and security officials. It added that Afghan government ministries had cooperated in the investigation and had already moved to take action against some of the officials allegedly involved.

Bush on Waterboarding: 'I'd Do It Again'

"Yeah, we waterboarded Khalid Sheikh Mohammed," Bush said. "I'd do it again to save lives."

Me Too !


AOL Times
(June 3) -- Former President George W. Bush says he has no regrets that the mastermind of 9/11 was waterboarded while under interrogation, and he would allow it again "to save lives."

Bush made the comment in a speech Wednesday to the Economic Club of Grand Rapids, Mich.

"Yeah, we waterboarded Khalid Sheikh Mohammed," Bush said. "I'd do it again to save lives."

Waterboarding is a technique used by CIA interrogators under the Bush administration, in which the suspect's head is either submerged underwater or water is poured into his or her airways, to simulate drowning. It's now banned under the Obama administration, which considers it torture.

Mohammed is believed to be the most senior al-Qaida suspect in U.S. custody. He was captured in Pakistan in 2003 and is one of several detainees who endured waterboarding under their American captors.

In his speech Wednesday, Bush also defended his decision to invade Iraq in 2003.

UK can't deport men to Pakistan over torture risk

Al Qaida = Bad guys !
Bad guys "Do" Bad things !
So what is the problem with bad things happening to Bad guys ?


Dawn.com
LONDON: Two men regarded as a serious danger to national security can't be deported to their native Pakistan because they face the risk of torture in their homeland, a British court ruled Tuesday.

The Special Immigration Appeals Commission said Abid Naseer, 24, and Ahmed Faraz Khan, 26, can't be forcibly removed to Pakistan, because of the likelihood they would be mistreated.

Judge John Mitting and two colleagues made the ruling despite labeling Naseer an al-Qaeda operative and Khan an Islamist extremist.

''There is a long and well-documented history of disappearances, illegal detention and of the torture and ill-treatment of those detained, usually to produce information, a confession or compliance,'' the judges said in a ruling issued Tuesday.

DC Muslim 5: 'We're being tortured. Honest. And we want Daniel Pearl's former 'go to guy' as our lawyer."

MIA DC Muslim 5

Remember those 5 DC Muslim 'yutes' that went to Pakistan to wage Jihad? Well, now they are saying that they are being tortured, poor lambs. (Note to DC 5: It's not torture, it's the Islamic nation of Pakistan! How do you like your jihad now?)

Five Americans arrested last month for allegedly plotting terror attacks told a court Monday they have been tortured while in custody.

Muhammad Ameer Khan Rokhri, the former defense lawyer for the accused, told CNN Monday the five complained to the special anti-terrorism court that they were tortured by the jail authorities. He added that the court ordered medical check-ups for the five.

Aftab Hanif, the deputy superintendent of the district jail, told CNN that the allegations were false. He said nobody touched the suspects and added that they were even receiving better food than the other prisoners.

P.S. Looks to me like they just want to set up some bogus human rights bs in order to arrange a prisoner exchange for Aafia Siddiqui (Gray Lady of al Qaeda) currently on trial here in the US. Read on, possums.

Rokhri (their former lawyer) said the five told him they didn't want to him to represent them any more but would like Human Rights activist Khalid Khawaja to be their defense counsel. Khalid Khawaja is not a lawyer. He is a former member of the Pakistan intelligence service and founder of "Defense of Human Rights," a Pakistani Human Rights organization based in Islamabad.

Rokhri said the court has allowed the accused to hire any lawyer for their defense and adjourned the case until February 2.

Khalid khalwaj About Khalid Khalwaja - he's a known bad actor with a heavy whiff of muslim moonbat about him:

<--- Khalid Khalwaja -and is that a prayer bump I see? Yes it is!

After being given a tip that Mansoor Ijaz is connected to leading militant Muslims in Pakistan, reporter Daniel Pearl will connect with Khalid Khawaja, who in turn connects him with militant Muslims who kidnap and eventually kill him. A leading Pakistani newspaper will claim that at one point Newsweek is about to accuse Khawaja of involvement in the plot to kidnap Pearl, but Ijaz vouches for Khawaja and convinces Newsweek to pull back its accusations.

And did Khawaja fly Osama Bin Laden's plane at one point in his checkered past?

Khalid Khawaja, “has never hidden his links with Osama bin Laden. At one time he used to fly Osama’s personal plane.”

He says no - but you will note that he doesn't say he didn't fly WITH Osama Bin Laden.

Mr Khalid Khawaja wrote last week to complain that I had erroneously called him a Taliban apologist and a person who confesses to be the pilot of Osama bin Laden. He states he never was Osama’s pilot, as he never qualified to be a pilot. While I have not seen anything to convince me about the former, I cannot prove him wrong in the latter even though the internet and rightwing talk shows are full of this introduction.

He has also been actively involved in the Pakistani Supreme Court case involving the stripping of Presidential immunity and has been lobbying for the release of the Gray Lady of al Qaeda, Aafia Siddiqui - currently on trial here in NYC. (see here)

UAE sheikh acquitted of torture



Looks like torture to me !

But I guess in the Arab world it is something else ?

Al jazeera
Sheikh Issa bin Zayed al-Nahayan, the brother of UAE president and Abu Dhabi emir Sheikh Khalifa bin Zayed al-Nahayan, has been acquitted of charges of torture, his lawyer has said.

An Emirati court on Sunday acquitted Shiekh Issa despite a video tape of the 2004 incident showing him torturing an Afghan man with whips, electric cattle prods and wooden planks with protruding nails.

"The court acquitted Sheikh Issa after establishing he was not responsible," for the torture, lawyer Habib al-Mulla said on Sunday.

"The court accepted our defence that the Sheikh was under the influence of drugs [medicine] that left him unaware of his actions," al-Mulla said.

What ? A Meds Defense ?


Bassam and Ghassan Nabulsi, former business partners of Sheikh Issa, who filmed and kept the video tape, were sentenced in absentia to five years each in prison.

How nice , His buddies get thrown under the Bus !

The video tape was handed to the ABC News channel last April.

Sheikh Issa was charged with rape, endangering a life and causing bodily harm, the Gulf National newspaper reported.

Uh , Rape .
As part of the guys "Torture" he raped him ?
That will teach him a lesson !

India operating 40 secret ‘Gitmos’

But does anybody care ?
Will any of those in the U.S. and the rest of the World , Stand up and speak out with the same Appalled attitude they had when they spoke out against the Real Gitmo ? I think not , It is not something America has anything to do with so it will be O.K..

Daily Times
NEW DELHI: The United States may have been forced to close the Guantanamo Bay detention centre but India runs 40 such “illegal” secret chambers across the country, one of India’s leading magazine revealed in its forthcoming issue.

An early copy of The Week obtained by Daily Times reveals the horror of the torture chambers, where suspects were subjected to extreme interrogation techniques for years. “I could never again dream of doing the things I did when I was in charge,” said Maloy Krishna Dhar, former joint director of the Intelligence Bureau (IB), while admitting to the existence of such centres. Top police officers also told the journal that these chambers were their “assets”. “They are our own little Guantanamos,” they said.

Quoting KS Subramanian, former director general of police, who has also served in the IB, it said these sites existed and were being used to detain and interrogate suspected terrorists and have been operating for a long time. Dhar admitted that these centres fanned militancy in Indian Punjab and IHK. The magazine’s investigating team has identified 15 such centres – three each in Mumbai, New Delhi, Gujarat and Indian-held Kashmir (IHK), two in Kolkata and one in Assam. But officials claim the number could be around 40.
....

Torture: An officer who had worked in one of the detention centres admitted extreme physical and mental torture, based loosely on the Guantanamo model, was used to extract information from detainees. It included an assault on the senses and sleep deprivation, keeping the prisoners naked, and forcibly administering drugs through the rectum. “In extreme cases we use pethidine injections. It makes a person crazy.” The Anti-Terrorism Squad (ATS) questioned Saeed Khan (name changed), one of the accused in the Malegaon blasts of September 2006, held at the Aarey Colony facility in Goregaon, the biggest of the three detention centres in Mumbai. He was served food at irregular intervals (leading to temporary disorientation) and was denied sleep.

Chinese net-addict teenagers given electric shocks as treatment

Real nice , I know this was done in America and other countries , Decades ago . But done to Kids simply for being addicted to net surfing ? What  Midieval Pricks !
China news
 (ANI)Shanghai,  : In a bid to prevent Internet addiction of their children,
Chinese parents are turning towards electro-shock therapy at a clinic
that claims they will be "reborn" free of the obsession.


However the harsh methods used by the clinic have caused an outcry among 3000
teenagers, who have been subjected to this odd treatment, The Sunday
Times reports.

At Dr Yang Yonxin's clinic, there are at least 100 young inmates.


Their parents have sent them to the treatment centre in Shandong province,
eastern China, because they have become hyperactive and uncontrollable.

Patients
are forbidden to speak about anything except their struggle to escape
the addiction. The boy or girl is made to write a confession and kneel
in front of his or her parents.

The clinic has 86 rules. The
regulations prescribe electric shocks as punishment for "misdeeds" such
as eating chocolate and locking the bathroom door.

Former patients, writing online, claim the shocks, some severe, were administered continuously.

U.S. to release photos from other probes in Afghanistan, Iraq

Why? That's the big Question , Amrit Singh Big ACLU lawer And the Wonderful Aclu Organization that is the , who ! to Answer the question , the Aclu is probably one of the Biggest Anti American Orgs ,in the World , they would love nothing better than proving "their" point that EX- Pres . George Bush , is a war criminal , and that Any of the U.S. military involved in any interogation should be brought up on war crimes ! It's a shame that an American Org will try Anything at any cost , to Disgrace someone they disagree with Politically ! with an end result of furthering the hatred toward America , over pointing a gun at an Al Qaida member , or letting a dog get within a couple of feet of One !

Seattle Times
WASHINGTON — The Obama administration agreed late Thursday to release dozens of photographs depicting alleged abuses at U.S. prisons in Iraq and Afghanistan during the Bush years.

The decision will make public for the first time photos obtained in military investigations at facilities other than the Abu Ghraib prison in Iraq. Forty four pictures that the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) was seeking in a court case, plus a "substantial number" of other images, will be released by May 28.

The photos, examined by Air Force and Army criminal investigators, are apparently not as shocking as those taken at Abu Ghraib, which became a symbol of U.S. mistakes in Iraq. But Pentagon officials nevertheless are concerned that the release could incite another backlash in the Middle East.

Some of the photos show military personnel intimidating or threatening detainees by pointing weapons at them, according to officials who have seen them. Military officers have been court-martialed for threatening detainees at gunpoint.

Video of UAE prince torturing man

Sheikh Issa bin Zayed al Nahyan, brother to the crown prince Sheikh Mohammed of UAE, is seen torturing a man in the video below. Al Nahyan whips, shoots at and drives over the man in the 1 min clip. Note to left-wing bats who want to prosecute Bush administration officials for waterboarding terrorists. The video here is an example of real torture. ABC has more info.

WARNING: The video contains graphic material. Viewer discretion is advised.

UPDATE: Well that was quick, Youtube has taken the video down. Typical but I bet Youbute is procrastinating in taking down jihadi propaganda.

Found another video, how long will this one stay up for?

Planner of 9/11 attacks waterboarded 183 times-NYT

Torture is all a matter of Opinion ! since the first report of Said "Torture" after 9/11 , a lot of people have been disturbed by the fact that "America" has tortured Al Qaida Members ! The very same people (Radical Islamic Militants) that plotted and carried out the worst terrorist act ever , on the United States , And also the very same people that when they have captured Americans , They have Video taped the cutting off of their heads ,one of the most horrific types of torture their can be , You don't live through that kind of torture ! Having a little water poured on your face And living through it is nothing Compared to having your head sawn off while your Alive ! Khalid Sheik Mohammed , Should have been waterboarded 3000 times , at the bare minimum ! and at that it would still not equal death ! America Should not be held to a higher Standard than the Islamic Wacko's , All the people we have tortured are still alive ! Al Qaida's torture victims 95% dead , others still unaccounted for !


WASHINGTON, April 19 (Reuters) - CIA interrogators used the waterboarding technique on Khalid Sheik Mohammed, the admitted planner of the Sept. 11 attacks, 183 times and 83 times on another al Qaeda suspect, The New York Times said on Sunday.

The Times said a 2005 Justice Department memorandum showed that Abu Zubaydah, the first prisoner questioned in the CIA's overseas detention program in August 2002, was waterboarded 83 times, although a former CIA officer had told news media he had been subjected to only 35 seconds underwater before talking.

President Barack Obama has banned the use of waterboarding, overturning a Bush administration policy that it did not constitute torture.

The Justice Department memo said the simulated drowning technique was used on Mohammed 183 times in March 2003. The Times said some copies of the memos appeared to have the number of waterboardings redacted while others did not.

The Senate Intelligence Committee is investigating the CIA interrogation program, which under President George W. Bush also included slamming prisoners into walls, shackling them in uncomfortable positions and depriving them of sleep.

Bush administration officials had claimed such methods were needed to get information but the repeated use of the waterboard on Zubaydah and Mohammed were sure to raise questions about its effectiveness.

Life in North Korea dire and desperate, U.N. forum told


Torture was used extensively and in the country's jails, lack of food and forced labor helped ensure "many prisons are a death trap for the inmates."


On a day when all I have heard is how bad the U.S. is for the "Torture" of a few Al Qaida dipshits , Have you heard anything about this ? I have not either ! it is ridiculous that the U.S. is continually Slammed for a few instances of torture , performed on some "top level" guys that WANT TO KILL AMERICANS ! (And have tried) and a little piss ant in North Korea can starve his people to death , torture them (Real beatings )kill ,rape , extort , Basically whatever they want to do , they do ! It just ain't right !!!


GENEVA (Reuters) - The people of North Korea are subjected to "intolerable suffering" including starvation, torture and almost universal spying, a U.N. investigator said on Monday in one of the toughest reports presented to a U.N. forum.

Thai jurist Vitit Muntarbhorn told the world body's Human Rights Council that the situation in the communist-ruled country was "dire and desperate" with the population living in fear and pressed to inform on each other.

"The country is under one-party rule. At the pinnacle there is an oppressive regime, bent on personal survival, under which the ordinary people of the land undergo intolerable and interminable sufferings," he said.

Diplomats said his comments and an accompanying report, although similar in their conclusions to studies of North Korea from independent rights groups, were among the most critical on one country ever presented to a U.N. forum.
....


Muntarbhorn, formally a special rapporteur for the Council which is not obliged to act on his recommendations, said the North Korean government's abuse of its citizens should be addressed by the entire global community.

"There are widespread, systematic and reprehensible human rights violations of a long-standing and insidious nature which demand international attention and commitments nationally and internationally to help improve the situation," he said.

His remarks appeared largely addressed to the developing country majority on the 47-nation Council which has generally sought to avoid serious formal condemnations of governments of non-Western nations for rights abuses.

"DEATH TRAP"

Although North Korea and the military government in Myanmar have been the subject of relatively mild resolutions in the past, the Council -- where Islamic countries have a strong voice -- has issued five condemnations of Israel.

"Throughout the years," said Muntarbhorn, "the (North Korean) authorities have bred a culture of pervasive mistrust and multi-layered 'divide and rule', creating great insecurity for the general populations."

Despite huge food shortages due partly to bad weather but also to environmental degradation and mismanagement, he said, the authorities were moving to close all markets on which many people rely "for fear of losing their grip on the population."

They were also apparently this year planning to ban small-lot, or "kitchen" farming, which had been vital for the survival of the general population, while army personnel were forcing farmers to provide them with food, he added.

Collective punishment was used, with whole families persecuted and sent into detention when a member falls foul of the authorities, he said. Public executions were common.

Torture was used extensively and in the country's jails, lack of food and forced labor helped ensure "many prisons are a death trap for the inmates."
