    “BRITISH SOLDIERS INTERROGATED DETAINEES BEFORE MASS EXECUTION”

    by Amaar Chowdhury in Declassified UK

    @uk_politics
    @UKLabour

    “UK helped Gulf monarchy crackdown on dissidents to keep control over Strait of Hormuz oil route”

    [..]

    “British soldiers interrogated dissidents in Oman before nearly a dozen of the men were executed in 1973, newly discovered files show.

    Although Britain had abolished the death penalty for almost all offences four years prior to the executions, UK troops on loan to the Sultan of Oman were embroiled in his own use of capital punishment”

  4. The rights of civil servants who were arbitrarily dismissed can be defended "by adopting a material form acceptable to the authorities and not overly subversive (compared to distributing leaflets, for example), thereby enabling the mobilization to survive."

  8. " #MerrylGoldberg was a member of the #KlezmerConservatoryBand ( #KCB) in 1985 when she had the opportunity to go on a mission to the #USSR to meet with #humanrights #activist #musicians. #Goldberg, along with KCB leader #HankusNetsky, vocalist #RosalieGerut and mandolinist #JeffWarschauer, were to meet with the #PhantomOrchestra, a group of #Jewish and non-Jewish #activists. Their mission was to bring them everything from medicine to blue jeans and bubble gum and smuggle out information about the #refusnik movement.

    In the context of the #ColdWar, to smuggle out information from the #SovietUnion was a perilous undertaking for the #klezmer band visitors and for the #Soviet #dissidents. What the #musicians needed was a secret #cipher system to collect the information they would gather during their trip. Their solution: to embed the information into written #music.

    In her #book, “Notes of Deception” (Hanover Square Press), co-author Goldberg documents the trip..."

  11. Russia strips the rights of citizens abroad in a sweeping new ‘traitor’ law.

    The Duma approved measures that freeze accounts, seize property and block consular services including passport renewal for Russians abroad who are evading charges at home.

    Lawyers said the law meant “de facto loss of citizenship,” with political activists and journalists among those most at risk.

  12. Online #AgeVerification Law Could Kill #Whistleblowing
    House bill ostensibly aimed at protecting children will raise risk for #journalists, #dissidents, and #whistleblowers
    Many platforms will turn to age verification to avoid potential liability under the law. That’s a big problem for people who need to be able to use the internet anonymously, since, as Taylor Lorenz has previously written, “there’s no way to reliably verify someone’s age without verifying who they are.”

  19. The intertwined stories of Putin and Stalin’s refugees in a literary circle near Paris.

    In the Paris suburb of Vanves, a small literary circle keeps alive the memory of the great Russian poet Marina Tsvetaeva, in the apartment where she lived before her doomed return to Stalin’s Russia.

    Today’s Russian dissidents see in her verses a reflection of their own inner turmoil.

  22. Dle mého názoru(DMN)maska státu spadla—ukázalo se,že "terorismus"neznamená nic víc než"opozice"nebo"dissent".

    "Macinka označil Hnutí DUHA za teroristickou organizaci"—"Macinka[…]napsal, že považuje[…]DUHA bez větší nadsázky za teroristickou organizaci."—"in-lifestyle.cz/petr-macinka-h

    "Duha kvůli Macinkovu výroku o terorismu zváží právní kroky"—"Macinka uvedl, že Hnutí Duha považuje[…]za teroristickou organizaci“"—"Macinka si jako ministr zahraničí nepochybně uvědomuje význam pojmu terorismus,který je jasně definován v trestním zákoníku"—seznamzpravy.cz/clanek/domaci-

    "Macinky.Ten napsal,že Hnutí Duha považuje bez nějaké větší nadsázky„za teroristickou organizaci“"—"Proti označení Duhy za teroristickou organizaci se pro ČTK v pátek odpoledne ohradil programový ředitel sdružení"—ct24.ceskatelevize.cz/clanek/d

    "Terrorism[…]is the use of violence against non-combatants to achieve political or ideological aims"—tuto definici DMN přesně splňují státy,které násilím ovládají území a občany násilím nutí k chování podle jejich polit. nebo ideol. cílů.(en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Terrorism)

    Si pamatuju z kambodžské diktatury:"Cambodia's ex-leader Hun Sen Calls for'Terrorism'Law to Target Opponents"—"Hun Sen,Cambodia's former leader,called for a new law labeling those who aim to overthrow his son's government as'terrorists'during the 46th anniversary of the Khmer Rouge's downfall.[…]sparked concerns about the suppression of dissent."—ph.headtopics.com/news/cambodi

    Nemohu srovnávat Česko s kamb. dikt., neboť v Kamb. mi zuby byly prohlédnuty násl. den, zatímco v Č. jsem musel obvolávat zubaře 60 dní. V Kamb. mi dermatologie byla provedena za 10 dní, zatímco v Č. jsem na akutní derm. ošetření čekal 120 dní.

  23. IMO Amnesty International is perpetrating discrimination of the users of Twibright Links lightweight web browser not equipped with JavaScript and IMO Amnesty International are hypocrites: they pose as if fighting for human rights, but they themselves IMO perpetrate discrimination and censorship and Amnesty International IMO violates the basic human right to receive information.

    I recommend:
    1) Don't send Amnesty International any donations.
    2) Tell other people about the behaviour of Amnesty International.
    3) Boycott Amnesty International.

    Their website consists of a grid of pictures and text. You don't need JavaScript to display that and even if you did, lack of JavaScript would just mean reduced functionality, not blocking of whole website.

    This may IMO impact marginalized individuals (people living in poverty, people in developing countries, refugees, dissidents) who cannot afford to buy a powerful device with enough RAM (cf. recent RAM price crisis) to run a resource hungry web browser with JavaScript and exacerbate the digital divide.

    IMO Amnesty International is joining the camp of perpetrators of digitalitarian digitatorship, where citizens are required to submit to an ever increasing amount of surveillance and tracking and required to submit to an extortion to purchase ever more expensive electronic devices.

    I feel

    s t r o n g c o n t e m p t

    towards Amnesty International.

    Maximum anonymity for #Activists, #Journalists, #Dissidents, and #Whistleblowers.

    #SESSION (Loki Network/Decentralized)
    Who uses it: Activists in Hong Kong, Belarus, Iran, and protest groups in the West. Why: If an activist is stopped, the police check the phone. In Session, there is no phone number, no address book, no logs of who spoke to whom. It is the best choice if the risk is having your device seized and trying to trace your network of contacts.

    #SIMPLEX Who uses it: Whistleblowers, informants, crypto-anarchists. Why: It is the only app where a "user profile" truly doesn't exist on the server. If the server is seized, there is nothing to find. It is used when contact secrecy is vital more than ease of use.

  31. #ICE purchased #spyware in recent weeks that enables it to remotely hack into #smartphones & extract #data, even if phones are locked or communication is encrypted. One of them, developed by #Paragon, has drawn considerable concern from #CivilRights groups due to its use by other govts to monitor #dissidents & #journalists. ICE’s initial $2M contract for the spyware was suspended by #Biden due to those ethical concerns, but the contract was reactivated Aug 29.
