Former Syrian #Prison Official Charged with #Torture


Source: justice.gov/usao-cdca/pr/forme…

In that role, #Alsheikh allegedly ordered subordinates to inflict and was sometimes personally involved in inflicting severe physical and mental #pain and suffering on political and other prisoners.


Isn't that exciting? The American #justice #system knows exactly what torture is and can even convict foreigners for it. Unfortunately, it is blind with its own #military or with the #CIA, or can someone explain to me why nobody was punished for #Guantanamo? #Bush admitted to ordering torture after #911 and is still walking around free. This is not only a disgrace to the #legal system but also totally undemocratic, because in a #democracy all people must be equal before the #law.
