Shielded from Justice - by Human Rights Watch: Police abuse remains one of the most serious and divisive human rights violations in the United States.
The excessive use of force by police officers, including unjustified shootings, severe beatings, fatal chokings, and rough treatment, persists because overwhelming barriers to accountability make it possible for officers who commit human rights violations to escape due punishment and often to repeat their offenses.

 WorldNetDaily: Changing children into drug addicts?
Today, radio talk host and WND staff writer Geoff Metcalf interviews Don Pierson, the executive director of the Citizens Commission on Human Rights.
According to a statement posted on the CCHR website, they are a "non-profit, public benefit organization dedicated to exposing and eradicating criminal acts and human rights abuses by psychiatry." Since its founding in 1969, CCHR has grown to more than 120 chapters in 28 countries.
In this interview, however, Pierson focuses on what he says is the current wide-scale abuse of psychotropic drugs as a substitute for effective parenting and teaching -- and the parts played by pharmaceutical companies, psychiatrists, government agencies and school officials in perpetuating what many see as a serious problem affecting America's children.

 Imprint Online: News - Students tackle sweat shops
As a result, "La Zonera" was created and Violeta began documenting the health risks, physical abuse, sexual assault and human rights violations occurring in sweat shops throughout the nation by visiting workers in their homes and neighbourhoods.
Waterloo students took a closer look at sweat shops on February 25, when activist Violeta Perez came from the Dominican Republic to speak about labour conditions in Free Trade zones and talk about her experiences in the labour rights movement.
Because many workers did not want to risk their jobs by speaking out at work or lacked the time to attend distant union meetings, the need for an additional outside labour rights organization to represent their views had became apparent.

 Re: the WORST type of circumcision is
Umbilical granuloma's new to me, but it's just another case of "Let's talk about something else." They think they are arguing by analogy, but there is always some key difference (or else it IS another human rights abuse that SHOULD be outlawed) that makes it poor comparison.
Circumcisionists constantly want to argue with us about abortion, cord-cutting, vaccination, ear-piercing, hair cutting, nail cutting, language teaching, ANYTHING but circumcision.

 Castro slams Bush in fiery ... - May 15, 2004
Cuba has recently come under increasing criticism for its human rights record, particularly its treatment of dissidents and political prisoners, from the United States and the European Union.
Castro said Bush "lacks the moral authority to talk about Cuba" which he said Washington targets "for petty political reasons looking for votes" in Florida, key to a potential Bush reelection in the November 2 US presidential vote.
The veteran Cuba leader, in power for 45 years, also criticized the United States for the scandal over the abuse of Iraqi prisoners by US occupying forces saying "the incredible torture applied to prisoners in Iraq has left the world dumbfounded."

As on so many occasions, it was left to anti-war socialist MP Alice Mahon to redeem the honour of the Labour benches by denouncing the detention of Moazzam Begg, Feroz Abbasi, Martin Mubanga and Richard Belmar as "a hideous abuse of human rights and international law."
THINGS have reached a pretty pass when even Tory MPs John Selwyn Gummer and Douglas Hogg talk more sense about the US concentration camp at Guantanamo Bay than a Labour minister.
Mr Gummer went so far as to question the nature of the one-sided alliance between the US and this country.
