Jessie Lemonier Death Cause

The U.N. Committee Against Torture is calling for a worldwide moratorium on the torture of the 11 human rights activists who died at the hands of Saudi government agents.


The request came in response to a letter sent today by Chairman José Graziano da Silva, executive director of UNCAT, condemning the death of four young women, two from Yemen and two from Bahrain, whose deaths allegedly were the consequence of torture. The letter comes amid growing calls (including one from Margaret Sanger herself) for all forms of violence related to abuse of women and girls to be outlawed or at least treated as a serious crime carrying the death penalty.


The UNCAT letter asks that the United Nations Security Council take steps “as appropriate” to recognize torture as a serious matter bearing the death penalty and to make further appeals to Saudi Arabia, its leaders and forces to take action to ensure that Saudi authorities are held accountable for violating their own human rights commitments. The committee urges the Secretary-General to “urge relevant members of the Security Council to adopt measures to ensure the punishment of those guilty of violating or failing to safeguard basic norms of human rights.”


The committee notes that some women and girls have suffered physical and sexual abuse not only at the hands of Saudis and other Middle Eastern men, but also “at the hands of soldiers and the police, not to mention judges, prosecutors, police and, now, foreign mercenaries and terrorists.” Other women who die at the hands of the government “do so when they themselves are injured or may be severely injured during military operations,” the committee continues, “not because they seek justice for self-harming or homicide.” It particularly regrets that these victims were targeted and abandoned by “a number of families and extended networks of family members” led by a 19-year-old radical feminist named Madawi al Shamsi.


Amnesty International, Human Rights Watch, and Partners for Reparation and Human Rights said today:


“The deaths of Khadiza Aamir Abdulmutallab, Misbah Omar Saeedi Yusuf, Rima Musharaf and Amaleh Saad Alkeshaymi have horrified the world.

Uscis Encountered An Unknown Error Retrieving Your Data

September 25, 2016: Upset you think? If you are like me and run an IOT deployment using the IoTKit backend, it can be a bit challenging to manage your deployed devices. By navigating through a process of looking at each piece of information (the device ID, configuration JSON, configuration file) one at a time, you should be able to get back to the IoTKit code quickly. Following these steps should help you to figure out what has happened is all. Run the following script in a clean Linux environment on your IOT device: sudo docker-compose -f docker-compose.yml up -d Once up, this will prompt your user interface to connect to a network adapter, and where the data is stored. These scripts assume that you have downloaded & installed the latest Iotkit with drivers from this page: https://docs.docker.com/engine/installation/iotkit/index.html.​ To select a network adapter type, we use the command: sudo iotkit --display-network-adapters --connection-type=wlan0 We select the local loopback n...

(Archived from the original) In the case of a former top aide to New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo, Manhattan district attorney Cyrus R. Vance Jr. denied an indictment related to his anti-corporate trades defense tactics in the wake of the 2006 trades litigation settlement. In part, the prosecutor's decision to drop Vance's indictment hinged on the fact that allegations of fraud were based on faulty intelligence rather than proof of wrongdoing (because the case hadn't been fully investigated). Vance's decision was a dramatic reversal of the standards for a district attorney who purports to be dedicated to protecting the rights of citizens while also prosecuting businesses. Although Vance would have been better known for trying criminal cases, most people never knew him when he was merely a prosecutor. So, as a grand jury probe into possible corruption in the New York attorney general's office proceeded, Vance turned to his high-ranking deputy and close collaborator, Ma...
