"The Cowardly Killer"

Exiled in Russia, Bashar Al-Assad denies a ‘planned’ Syria departure, says he wanted to stay and fight, but Russia flew him to Moscow.

Al-Assad remains a wanted criminal as details of his atrocities against his own people are uncovered!

Egypt and Jordan terrified that the Islamic revolution will reach them as well.

Egypt has informed Syrian citizens, who have been residing in its territory for decades, that they must fly back to Syria.

From now on, any move by a Syrian in Egypt will require a security clearance.

#Russia's military position in #Syria has become untenable: it has to withdraw its troops in a hurry.
This is reminiscent of the #Soviet flight from #Afghanistan in 1988/89, when the #mujahideen de facto forced the #RedArmee to flee from that country. OFC it was also termed a "withdrawal..."

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.

"We will need to make sure that those who are responsible for these violations, be it on the side of the previous #government, the #president and others, but also all others who are #responsible for #violations - that they are brought to account," U.N. High Commissioner for Human Rights #VolkerTurk told a #Geneva #press briefing, calling for meticulous preservation of evidence.

As always, everything is cleared up and the butchers of #humanity are accused except of course US #war #crimes in Syria and #CIA #torture, which has been proven to have taken place in Syria. Because everyone knows that the US is above the #law and only the others are accused.
