The continued impunity for #CollateralMurder epitomizes what the #Assange case is all about:
A man slowly #tortured to death by govts for exposing their lies crimes & corruption.

It has been three days since #ChristofHeyns passed away, and I still cannot find appropriate words.
What a sudden, unexpected, brutal & colossal loss to so many of us in so many ways!

RT by @NilsMelzer: From intimidation to ambushes and kidnapping, many of our @UN colleagues face extreme danger as they carry out their vital work.
We must do everything we can to ensure that those who undertake lifesaving work have the protection they need to fulfil their vital mission.

RT by @NilsMelzer: If the law was really applied in a democracy there would be no problem of accountability for perpetrators of torture. The fact that there is no accountability shows that we have a crisis of democracy. It's not one bad apple, it's a whole rotten orchard - @NilsMelzer

RT by @NilsMelzer: As long as our bottom line is a system that puts profit before the health and safety of life on earth, we are racing towards the destruction of our species.
RT by @NilsMelzer: # Turkey: the Erdogan government needs to explain why 50% of its population should not be protected from violence at home. In times of lockdowns with increasing domestic violence this is a message of darkness.
RT by @NilsMelzer: Plants turn sunlight and air into food and medicine. They make soils, rain, and the atmosphere. They create the world and sustain life. And yet for some reason we consider ourselves to be the superior species.

No it’s not #AprilFoolsDay. This is actually happening:
The Appeals Court (really!) found that #MI5 can secretly authorise #murder #rape & #torture as long as the #UKGovt believes “the harm is outweighed by the benefits”.
Let this sink in for a moment…

RT by @NilsMelzer: Famine & hunger are no longer about lack of food.
They are now largely man-made – concentrated in countries affected by large-scale, protracted conflict.
We have a responsibility to do everything in our power to tackle both hunger and conflict, if we are to solve either.
