“I want to kill someone today & it might be you"
"They wrenched my trousers & underwear down & I was raped by one of the soldiers"
"Other people had guns inserted inside them"
"My daughter was syringed with an unknown substance"
Juliet Lamont's Gaza Flotilla testimony:
The genocide did not begin or end in 2009.
45 years ago today, the Jaffna Public Library was burned to the ground.
And like every other crime committed against the Tamil people, nobody has ever been held accountable.
Teoh Beng Hock’s sister urged the United Nations Human Rights Council (UNHRC) to press Malaysia for an independent probe into the ex-political aide’s death, underscoring persistent concerns over custodial deaths in the country.
Speaking in Geneva, Switzerland, Lee Lan said: “I have travelled thousands of miles to bring this demand for justice before you. I ask you to press for accountability.”
She told delegates that 17 years after Beng Hock died in MACC custody, no one has been held accountable despite the Court of Appeal ruling in 2014 that his death was caused by “unlawful acts by unknown persons”.

Cuba has a proven and consistent track record of helping so many countries not just in the Caribbean but elsewhere during natural disasters, humanitarian crises and just in general.
To see so many countries turn their backs on them right now is unbelievable.
After much reflection, I have decided to resign from my position as Director of the National Counterterrorism Center, effective today.
I cannot in good conscience support the ongoing war in Iran. Iran posed no imminent threat to our nation, and it is clear that we started this war due to pressure from Israel and its powerful American lobby.
It has been an honor serving under @POTUS and @DNIGabbard and leading the professionals at NCTC.
May God bless America.
The role Israel played in the Tamil genocide and Sri Lanka’s relationship with Tel Aviv stretches back many decades and is worth many millions of dollars.
