As of May 2013, there were approximately 54,580 (May, 2013) asylum seekers in Israel who entered via the Egyptian Sinai border. Of these, 66% are Eritrean, 25% are Sudanese, and the rest are from Ethiopia, Ivory Coast, Somalia and other countries. 20% of this population is female. Of these, an estimated 7,000 are people who were tortured and/or extorted for ransom in the Sinai, either by groups paid to smuggle them to Israel, or increasingly, as a result of kidnappings from Sudan and Ethiopia.

#Syria: Children’s #HumanRights during times of war must be protected

Regime forces, supported by Hezbollah and Iranian Revolutionary Guard mercenaries, continue their brutal and relentless bombardment of the besieged neighbourhoods, towns and villages of Homs city and province, with the humanitarian crisis due to the regime siege, which has now lasted for over 18 months, growing more catastrophic by the day.
Assad’s forces have been subjecting a number of areas to shelling, with Sokhna, Rastan and Talbiseh seeing some of the worst bombardment.
The approaching winter is exacerbating the suffering of the thousands of men, women and children in the besieged areas of Homs city and province.
Videos from besieged Rastan today, Saturday October 19th, 2013:
Starving children pick through the rubble searching for any food or anything that can be sold to feed themselves and their families:

Most of the homes in Rastan are either partially or fully destroyed by the regime’s daily aerial and/or ground bombardment:

Assault on medical care in #Syria a chilling reality of the civil war: http://sm.ohchr.org/1aeRJdo
An under reported trend of the war in #Syria is the assault on medical care: „Neither law nor decency has restrained the behaviour of the parties.“
The UN’s Independent International Commission of Inquiry on Syria report : “Intentionally directing attacks against hospitals and places containing the sick, and the wounded and against medical units using the Red Cross or Red Crescent emblem is a war crime in non-international armed conflict.”
The UN Relief and Works Agency estimate that 33 of Syria’s 88 public hospitals have closed.

@DelhiDean @bdnews24com @davidbangladesh The issue as to whether the video is authentic is deserving of a fully independent inquiry
This evening I was asked to respond to the following questions by a journalist at BDNews24.com concerning the publication of the video of the Prosecution Witness ‚Nannu“
BDNews24 ran the story under the headline „Cadman Unsure About Witness Nannu“
In order to clear any doubt. Here is what I informed the journalist:
I have been made aware that several videos have now been uploaded on YouTube. I understand that the video that I have seen was uploaded sometime after I gave the interview to the Daily Telegraph. I also understand, following the Dhaka Tribune article that a further video in which the witness in question denies being the person in the original. I have now watched both videos (although as I do not speak Bengali I am not able to understand what the witness said in the second video) and can respond as follows.
In the Daily Telegraph interview I stated that I found the contents of the original video deeply disturbing. I made the point that if the allegations set out in the video are true it warrants a full inquiry into whether there is a practice of witness tampering. I made no assessment as to the authenticity of the video only that it required a full investigation by an independent authority acceptable to all parties.
In my view the fact that the witness has denied making the statement is to be expected. He clearly does not want to go up against the Government, as what is stated in the interview is a very serious allegation.
Over the last 24 hours there have been a number of allegations that the video released was fabricated and that this is merely propaganda. There have also been a number of attacks on my professional integrity, although I have become accustomed to that. I stand by the statement that I made in the Daily Telegraph and repeat the request that there needs to be a full, independent, international inquiry into these matters.
When asked whether I could confirm that the witness in the video was Nannu, I responded:
„I am not in a position to confirm nor deny anything at this stage. I will review the various videos and issue a full statement in due course. I stand by my previous statement that this requires a full investigation by an independent authority. I have absolutely no reason at this stage to doubt that the original video recording of the witness is authentic; however, this should be the subject of an independent investigation.“

Imagine the following: David Cameron decides that in order to maintain power he needs to cripple the opposition. He devises a cunning plan by which he sets in motion a series of prosecutions against members of the opposition. He handpicks prosecutors and judges who are sympathetic to his cause. He directly and indirectly interferes with the process by way of carefully planned public speeches implicating the ’suspects‘, coercing witnesses both for the prosecution and defence and amends the law retrospectively to ensure conviction and the harshest of penalties. Naturally if this happened we would be outraged. Why then are we not outraged when it happens elsewhere?
