I am also a member of PACTS, International. I read the following on their Newsletter. Sounds devastating.
Nils Melzer can't help us. He now works at the International Red Cross. "So it sounds like whatever investigation there might have been with his department has since evaporated after he left."
We all seem to be orphans of the word!
Maybe it is easier for me than for you because I live in an authoritarian regime and know all our executioners.
It is a very perfidious and vicious persecution due to the suppression of freedom of speech and opinion, which has been going on for a very long time and in which my family has suffered badly. My older son the hardest!

  • Hello Gordana. Since I joined Peacepink less than a year ago, I do not know much was accomplished by Nils Melzer at the United Nations but the Committee Against Torture still issues reports & conducts hearings. My concern lies in the recent draft report written by Justice Samuel Alito of the US Supreme Court on abortion. The 1973 decision (Roe v. Wade) found the right to an abortion rests between a woman & her doctor & implies a constitutional protection of privacy. Is the intent then to restructure privacy laws, delay & deny as long as possible the crimes committed against targeted individuals?

    Julian Assange & Edward Snowden have thrown chaos into the judicial system on privacy rights & frightened the establishment.

    On May 12th, I called a radio station, "The Zelda Show" & was on-air. I asked about the censorship of targeted individuals. I did not expect a response & did not receive one. I also speculated about which country could be behind the technology employed against TIs. (Israel?) I further stated our mayor deserves a challenge in our October election & I would run against him if I was a tenant in Toronto. He presents a staunch law-and-order persona & earns over $200,000 a year.

    I wanted to share this with you. I hope you are well.

    Love & Peace
