Colombia has the worst human rights record of any country in the western hemisphere. Last year in Colombia: · 184 trade unionists were assassinated, those carrying out these murders enjoying complete impunity from state prosecution; · there was on average 20 political murders a day. Independent observers conclude that right-wing groups are responsible for 80% of these human rights violations; · the government of Álvaro Uribe Vélez declared a State of Internal Unrest four days after becoming president in August, and then in September he decreed that two zones of the country would be under direct military rule, suspending all civil rights. ... read full story / add a comment

Before the Iraq war began, there were widespread fears that the Israeli army would take advantage of a time when international attention was elsewhere and step up its campaign in the occupied territories.

We are Iraqis, but we are with the United States. We are Americans." ... read full story / add a comment
