In 1982, a close friend of Kurdish freedom fighter Salah Ameydi was captured by the Mukhabarat, the Iraqi Secret Police. They brought him back to his village, and seized his wife and eight-month-old son. The new parents were then tied up and made to watch as their baby was burned to death in front of them with a hot iron. When the agents were finished with the child, they forced the husband to watch as his wife was brutally raped by four Iraqi soldiers. The husband was then dragged off to Abu Ghraib and tortured for years on end as a “political prisoner.” read full story / add a comment

For once we have some more fantastic news. In a very excited letter dated 5th of
November 2004, American eco-activist, Craig "Critter" Marshall, has written to ELP and other supporters, including APS to inform us that he has been given a release date! Critter is due for release on the 6th of January 2005. This is brilliant news. Critter himself states "I'm obviously pretty stoked [happy], but I'm also a bit nervous about it."

for their annual ibero-american conference, the President of Spain Zapatero accompanied by Don JuanCarlos Bourbó de Bourbon (like a bourbon) the King of Spain discussed Zapatero's idea of an "alliance of civilisations" which would shape future relations between the continent and those who varyingly trade with it, invest in it, and exploit it.

The plan has been met with much enthusiasm not least from the popular "leftist" regimes. read full story / add a comment
