Jailing children... are you f'g kidding me!?!
Instead of jailing IDF child murderers!?! Instead of jailing illegal settlers!? Instead of jailing bulldozer drivers!? ... Yet another violation of international law for the apartheid state. Stop foreign aid until Israelis are compliant with the rule of law.

I have been falsely imprisoned rather than having access to the world to do anything meaningful with my life since 2014. There were at least 5 times I was institutionalized for accusing my authorities (including my parents) of bullying me until I'm suicidal. There were at least 2 suicide attempts that ended in hospitalizations, and the one wrongful arrest in 2016, that also ended in hospitalization. My only crime is being a Facial Disfigurement victim.

A former leader of the Iranian Baha’i community says the Islamic Republic gives them no chance of “leading a normal life” on account of their faith.
“For forty-five years, we Baha’is have been constantly disqualified from leading a normal life in our ancestral homeland,” Mahvash Sabet, a former member of the Baha’i community’s leadership group wrote in a letter from Tehran’s Evin Prison.
She reflected on the impact of the Islamic Revolution of 1979, stating, "Our ancestral homeland was abruptly taken from us, and we became 'the others'." Sabet recounted the misfortunes suffered by the Baha’i community, including the execution of nearly 250 of its members and the confiscation of assets belonging to many others.
The Shia clergy consider the Baha’i faith as a heretical sect. With approximately 300,000 adherents in Iran, Baha’is face systematic persecution, discrimination, and harassment. They are barred from public sector employment and, in certain instances, have been terminated from private sector jobs due to pressure from authorities.
Tumblr media
In her letter, a copy of which was received by Iran International, Sabet has used the term “disqualified” (radd-e salahiyat) to describe Iranian Baha’is deprivation of civil and human rights including freedom of religion, the right to higher education, and most jobs.
In the context of ideological screening primarily carried out by security and intelligence bodies, Radd-e salahiyat means “found disqualified” for a position or status. Screening is conducted in a wide range of situations including higher education, civil service, participation in national sports teams, and elections.
Belief in the absolute guardianship and rule of a jurisprudent cleric (velayat-e motlaqqeh-ye faqih) and the Constitution of the Islamic Republic as a governing system are two of the fundamental requirements for being “qualified” in these situations.
Sabet, now seventy-one, was dismissed from her job as a school principal after the Islamic Revolution of 1979. She has been consistently denied the opportunity to publish her poetry in Iran, where books undergo scrutiny and rejection not solely based on their content, but often due to the authors' ideology, religion, or private lives.
In her letter, Sabet, who has spent nearly twelve years in prison for her faith, reveals that authorities appropriated a sand processing factory her husband had been constructing just a week before its launch. “He was disqualified, too!” she wrote in her letter.
In 2009, seven leaders of the Baha’i community, collectively known as Yaran (friends or helpers), including Sabet, were arrested. They were sentenced by a revolutionary court to 20 years in prison on fabricated charges, including "insulting" Islamic sanctities, propaganda against the regime, and alleged spying for Israel, for which the prosecutor had sought death sentences.
Some of the charges, including espionage, were dropped by an appeal court in 2010, resulting in a reduction of their sentences to 10 years. However, authorities reinstated the original 20-year sentences in 2011.
All members of the Yaran group were released from prison between September 2017 and December 2018. However, Sabet and Fariba Kamalabadi, another female member of the group, were arrested again on August 1, 2022.
Both women endured months of solitary confinement while awaiting their trial. In December, they were handed another decade-long prison term for "forming a group to act against national security," a sentence they are currently serving.

false-imprisonment + blindfold
day 7 of two weeks of whump @promptsforyourwhumpfic
warnings: captivity, cursing, false imprisonment, implied past abuse
characters: whumper, whumpee, caretaker
471 words
---
Whumper circles Whumpee, his hands always touching them. Whumpee tries to face him, but the blindfold makes it hard to tell where he’s standing. The fabric rubs against the back of their neck, pinching the hairs and tugging at their skin. 
Whumper stops circling and clears his throat, “Do you know why you’re here?” 
Whumpee sets their jaw and takes a deep breath, finally confident they’re facing Whumper. “I don’t even know who you are.” 
“Don’t lie to me, Caretaker. I know you recognize me.” Whumper spits. 
Whumpee fumbles, “Caretaker? What does he have to do with anything?” 
“Don’t-” Whumper growls, he leans forward and grabs Whumpee by the collar- “Don’t fucking do that. Just because you kept me from seeing your face all the damn time doesn’t mean I can’t recognize you.” 
He shoves Whumpee away from him and lifts the blindfold. “There, now do you know who I am?” 
Whumpee stares at him, eyes tracing scars on his face. “Who-what…what happened to you?” 
“You’re a good actor, Caretaker. But when I saw you the other day-at the park? I got the same feeling-like I was going to throw up- as when you’d come to visit me. There’s no tricking me out of that. I know it’s you.” Whumper squats in front of them and stares into their eyes. “You really thought I wouldn’t find you?” 
Whumpee swallows heavily and whispers, “I don’t know who you are.” 
Caretaker jumps into the room from one of the windows, “It’s true.” he strides up to Whumper, hands in his pockets. “They don’t know who you are.” 
“No…” Whumper breathes. He backs away from Caretaker, stumbling over a crack in the floor. “No, no, it’s them, not you, it-it isn’t you. It can’t be you.”
“Why not?” 
“It just-it can’t be,” His back hits the door and he gropes along the wall for the handle. “It’s them.” 
Caretaker bends down and unties Whumpee. “But it is me. I promise.” 
“Caretaker?” Whumpee whispers, “What’s going on?” 
He sushes them and takes another step forward, his arm reaching back to keep Whumpee where they are. “Why don’t you leave, Whumper?” 
He nods and finally finds the door handle. The door swings open and Whumper runs outside. 
“Are you alright?” Caretaker asks, his attention fully on Whumpee. “Did he hurt you?” 
“What did you do to him?” Whumpee asks. “He was terrified of you.” 
“Whumpee, he didn’t know what he was talking about. I had to make him believe that I was who he was looking for to get you out safely. I swear, I’ve never seen him before.” Caretaker rambles. 
Whumpee’s brows furrow and they shake their head, “He said your name.” 
Caretaker stands there, trying, and failing, to come up with an excuse. Eventually, he just gives up and leads Whumpee to the car.

“Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere.” ― Martin Luther King Jr.
Only In England!
The recent case of Andrew Malkinson, who was wrongly imprisoned for 17 years for a crime he did not commit, has highlighted failures within   the criminal justice compensation scheme.
First, the Justice Secretary decides if the individual is entitled to compensation. It is not an automatic right.
“The statutory scheme gives the Justice Secretary discretion to pay compensation to a wrongly convicted person “when his conviction has been reversed or he has been pardoned on the ground that a new or newly discovered fact shows beyond reasonable doubt that there has been a miscarriage of justice”.(commonslibrary: Miscarriage of Justice: compensation schemes)
If the Justice Secretary does decide an applicant is eligible for compensation, an independent assessor decides how much is awarded - up to a maximum of £1million if the applicant has been wrongly imprisoned for more than 10 years
But here is the rub. The assessor:
“…can make deductions for any conduct of the applicant that contributed to the conviction, for his criminal record and for “saved living expenses” .(commonslibrary: Miscarriage of Justice: compensation schemes)
It is the phrase “saved living expenses” that beggars belief, for what it means is that the victim of wrongful imprisonment and a miscarriage of justice is CHARGED for their stay in prison out of their compensation payment!
The " Miscarriage of justice: compensation schemes”            document (06/03/15) clearly states:
“… these deductions may be so great that only a nominal amount of compensation will be payable.”
In other words the State, having wrongly imprisoned someone and having deprived them of their freedom and reputation, then add insult to injury by charging them board and lodging  for their wrongful incarceration.
I only learned about this today, after listening to an interview with Andrew Malkinson, but it has been going on for decades.
“A man freed after spending 11 years in jail for a murder he did not commit has been charged £37,000 for his bed and board while behind bars."  (Independent: 24/05/02)
Wrongly convicted prisoners, the Windrush generation, the Post Office scandal victims, the Grenfell Tower survivors, and Hillsborough disaster victims have all experienced the reluctance of the State to admit liability and pay compensation even after the courts have ruled they are legally entitlesdto compensation.
No wonder Mr Malkinson has decided he no longer wants to live in this country!

During depositions in the lawsuit, even the city's expert acknowledged that the bullet analysis by the police lab decades ago was flat-out wrong.
“It's one of two things. It was a horrible mistake or it was deliberate — I don't know,” said Jay Jarvis, who worked for 32 years at the Georgia State Crime Laboratory.
I was very sad to hear about the Detroit officer who lost his life to a punk who committed suicide-by-cop. His partner is a true hero.
AND, this story is why officers will be viewed with contempt. The real heroes will out liars who frame people. How do we trust you to police us when you don’t police your own ranks??

This is the bullshit faced by black and brown people everyday no matter where. In the states, the zionist state built by the USA, in Europe, in Africa, in the East, in Asia, everywhere humans can exist. Palestinian resistance is part of our story as well, the tools used came from the same place in all these countries/contents, white Europeans. Their fight is our fight, Land Back!

I want to come right out and say that I am not affiliated with the original poster in any way shape or form, but I do want to spread this around. Seeing as I am also somebody who is aware of the behavior of Zack's actions being an older ex friend in a group with him. Its gross and disgusting. Dont support him.

In what the Baha'i International Community is calling an "escalating pattern of persecution against the Baha’is in Iran," 39 more incidents targeting the community have been reported in recent days, affecting mostly women.
Ten women Baha’is, mostly young, were arrested while 26 additional individuals, 16 of whom were also women, have been sentenced to a total of 126 years in prison.
The 10 Baha’i women were arrested in Isfahan, in central Iran, earlier this week. Three other Baha’is were arrested in Yazd and three more have had court hearings and await sentencing.
The arrests took place after homes were raided and the personal property of several individuals was confiscated, including electronics, books, cash and gold. More than 10 agents were reported to have raided the home of one of the women during her arrest.
“Every one of the Baha’i individuals arrested, and whose homes were raided by the Iranian government, indeed every Baha’i in Iran, has a lifelong story of persecution which has affected every facet of their lives. These stories are a chilling testament to decades of heartless persecution against an entire community, only for their beliefs,” said Simin Fahandej, Representative of the Baha’i International Community to the United Nations in Geneva. “And as we see women in Iran targeted in general, Baha’i women face even greater persecution, not only as women but also as Baha’is, further demonstrating how, today, all Iranians face persecution and discrimination only for daring to stand up for justice and equality.”
“The international community must hold the Iranian government accountable for its human rights violations,” Fahandej said. The 10 women arrested this week have committed no crimes. The dozens sentenced to years in prison are also innocent. All they want is to serve their society. But instead of their contributions being welcomed, they are put behind bars, and the Iranian government deprives its entire society of some of the most capable individuals in its society.”
The latest arrests and prison sentences follow more than a year of intensified attacks on Iran’s Baha’i community. Dozens of other Baha’is have been either arrested, tried, summoned to begin prison sentences, barred from higher education or earning a livelihood over recent months. And in August the Baha’i International Community reported that 180 Baha’is had been targeted—including one 90-year-old man, Jamaloddin Khanjani, who was detained and interrogated for two weeks.
Two other Baha’i women, Mahvash Sabet and Fariba Kamalabadi—who along with Khanjani and four other Baha’is spent a decade in prison from 2008 to 2018—were re-arrested in July 2022 and are now each serving a second 10-year jail term.

How I defended myself in court against corrupt police with no legal aid.
Boy oh boy was this a story. Back in the day I was framed by the police and had been fortunate enough to record it on a voice recorded as well as dialling 999 which became audio evidence. In this video I share some tips of how I built a case to defend myself the best I could with no legal aid as well as my experience with the court. I’ll cover more about this story on this blog, it’s a well…
