WWWTT Posted March 25, 2014 Report Share Posted March 25, 2014 Over 500 Egyptians sentenced to death!! If that isn't one of the biggest human rights violations then I don't know what is! I was horrified to see this headline and first thought that this can't be true! http://Sixteen Egyptian rights groups voiced concern, saying the trial constituted a "dangerous, unprecedented shift in the Egyptian's judiciary's treatment of such cases" and represented "a grave violation of both the right to a fair trial and the right to life From what I have read, there is still an opportunity for some of these condemned people to fight this, but it sounds like a slim chance. And there are even more going on trial so this can balloon even further! Where are you now Mr. Harper? Why isn't Canada imposing sanctions on Egypt for this hideous crime against humanity? How about Barak Obama? WWWTT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bush_cheney2004 Posted March 25, 2014 Report Share Posted March 25, 2014 How about Barak Obama? What about him ? The U.S. has over 3,000 people on death row and executed about 50 last year...1,369 since 1977. Better slap some sanctions on the U.S. instead !!

Big Guy Posted March 26, 2014 Report Share Posted March 26, 2014 There is a bright spot to this story. In most of the countries in the world these 528 people would never have seen a trial and would have just disappeared. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rue Posted March 26, 2014 Report Share Posted March 26, 2014 WW you do realize the same Putin you support for invading the Ukraine is an ally of the current Egyptian regime.... amazing how that works. The same guy you think is liberating the Ukraine from fascist anti semites is supporting |fascists| in Egypt. Say now its so confusing.

G Huxley Posted March 26, 2014 Report Share Posted March 26, 2014 0-691-03387-0 (cloth) This is a sort of show trial on a parallel with the sort of thing Hitler, Stalin, Pol Pot and their ilk did. Unfrigging believable that the West is just standing by and letting this happen. Those are real people!!!!! And there are more to come. This is only the beginning:"At least 16,000 people have been arrested since July, by official government counts. Many of these are being held without charges, and many more are being tried en masse. An even larger group is due in Minya's criminal court Tuesday." http://www.latimes.com/world/middleeast/la-fg-egypt-death-penalty-20140325,0,6047819.story Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually, from what I have read, the sanctions against Russia actually help Putin (and Russia)for crying out loud! This seems to be a big freekin spun web, and it's not clear who stands with who and who is against who!?!? But on this one topic, I find it alarming that so many people have been rammed through a trial and are sentenced to death! Western leaders must save face and denounce this violation!

You realize the whole western world is an ally of the military dictatorship in Egypt, and cheered when they took power from Morsi, and has not only endorsed military rule in Egypt for 40 years, but has propped up that regime with huge ammounts of money?

No. US military aid stopped after the army took control of Egypt. Russia is currently backing the regime in Egypt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hudson Jones Posted March 27, 2014 Report Share Posted March 27, 2014 Good thing Morsi was pushed out and the coup was supported by the West. It's interesting to see that Sisi is backed by Israel. Another Israeli friendly dictator in the Arab world. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
