Argentina revokes Dirty War generals’ pardon

Posted on 26/04/200720/01/2021 By 3arabawy

Good news:

A court in Argentina has overturned a 1990 pardon given to two former military dictators saying they must continue to serve life sentences for human rights abuses.
Jorge Videla, a former president, and Eduardo Massera, a navy chief, were leaders of the junta that waged a “dirty war” against political opponents in the late 1970s and early 80s.
Official reports say around 9,000 people were killed, although human rights groups put the death toll closer to 30,000.
On Wednesday the Argentine federal criminal court declared the 1990 amnesties given to the two men were unconstitutional.

Police silence torture victims

Posted on 25/04/200716/01/2021 By 3arabawy

Mubarak’s police crusade to silence torture victims continues.

A Giza police force raided the house of a citizen Monday, around 8pm, and kidnapped him for an hour and half, to prevent him from speaking to Al-Mehwar satellite channel about his ordeal. The citizen, by the name Hanna, had been detained for two years on the roof top of a police station without a court order!

Also, two MPs charged yesterday that “Egyptian police stations have turned into slaughterhouses,” adding that “forced disappearances (of suspects) have become a phenomenon.”
