#Poland’s leader plans to suspend the right to #asylum as country faces pressure on #Belarus #border
Through its involvement in the lost wars in Iraq, Libya, Syria and Afghanistan, Poland has contributed significantly to the refugee flows. Refusing to accept refugees is therefore not only ethically reprehensible but also a testimony to inhumane criminal politics.

#PACE hearing on Julian #Assange's #detention and conviction and their chilling effects on human rights
watch: https://www.youtube.com/live/Mq85IZMeigc?t=746s
It is a shame for Western democracy that neither #Sweden nor the #UK have a review and a committee of inquiry into the failure of justice and US interference in the supposedly independent judiciary in the Assange case. Unfortunately, many politicians in Western Europe believe that human rights are only violated in Russia, China or Afghanistan, but not on their own doorstep. Distracted by the many crises and the rise of far-right parties, Europe is heading straight into diabolical chaos 😱

The #US should respond to every North Korean provocation by actively informing North Korean people of their dire #HumanRights situations, David Maxwell, VP of the Center for Asia Pacific Strategy, argued.
"If #NorthKorea conducts a missile test, the response should not just stop at condemning the act. #Kim's deliberate decision to prioritize #nuclear weapons & missiles is what is causing the suffering of the Korean people in the North."

"Human rights are rights we have simply because we exist as human beings - they are not granted by any state. These universal rights are inherent to us all, regardless of nationality, sex, national or ethnic origin, color, religion, language, or any other status. They range from the most fundamental - the right to life - to those that make life worth living, such as the rights to food, education, work, health, and liberty."

Stop the Sept. 24 Execution of Marcellus Williams, an Innocent Man - Innocence Project
DNA evidence not available at the time of trial proves his innocence but has not been considered in court. Act today.Innocence Project
Just a few random thoughts...
1) The *prosecutor* is saying a condemned man is innocent - why isn't the DOJ intervening?
2) In the past, the authorities have waited until the last minute to stop the execution. I wonder why they do this.
3) Why did #marcelluswilliams lawyers take so long to make the case on his behalf?
4) The whole thing is so barbaric... we might as well be living in the Middle Ages.

Because the climate crisis causes drought and water crisis, not going to school because of crop failure, and wasting learn and play time because we have to work.
