We have removed a video from the recent Bradford protest featuring a citizen’s metaphorical remarks regarding General Asim Munir. Although we do not believe the individual incited violence, the post was deleted in an abundance of caution to prevent potential misunderstanding, and legal safeguarding of the individual and her...

Who is supposed to implement your anti-torture obligations when those inflicting the torture have seized power, and those being subjected to torture are the country’s actual elected leaders? We asked the UN. After the video below, I, along with colleagues from our NGOs, presented cases from Pakistan to the UN Committee Against Torture (UNCAT), which is reviewing Pakistan in this cycle. In the time we had, we spoke about Imran Khan, Bushra Bibi, military and civilian political prisoners, as well as Zille Shah, Iman Mazari, journalists, and social media activists. We also explained how PECA and constitutional amendments, in response to questions asked of us, are major predisposing factors to torture. The remaining affected cases were covered in our reports published on the UN website. The delegation from Pakistan will be questioned today at the UN, and the Committee will publish its findings at the close of this 84th session at the end of April. What is interesting is that we were the only NGOs speaking about Imran Khan and those named above. Talk about the elephant in the room. The other NGOs focused mainly on minority issues such as Afghan refugees and religious minorities, likely because NGOs have historically represented affected groups that are often minorities. Other than in the case of Zulfikar Ali Bhutto, which most of Pakistan was not even alive to witness, it is unprecedented for a former and rightful Prime Minister, an entire political party, and journalists etc who go "out of syllabus" to be persecuted en masse. So it seems we are the first wave of organic, non-minority NGOs created to raise these issues. The main internationally recognised generic human rights groups from Pakistan were present, but not one mentioned Imran Khan, Bushra Bibi, or any political prisoner. Not surprising. I cannot share too much before today’s questioning of the Pakistan delegation, but we hope the questions and recommendations we shared with the UN Committee are used - both in questioning the delegation and in the final UN report. These reports and recommendations can be presented to the Commonwealth, the United Kingdom, and the European Union, who are all actively reviewing Pakistan so that pressure can be exerted in various ways for some relief. Yes, we are not naive and know exactly what we are up against, but we firmly believe some relief is possible. It will take work. But there are no shortcuts to anywhere worth going.

*Request for International Support – Report of Involuntary Psychiatric Commitment and Cyber ​​Torture** To the attention of the competent authorities, human rights organizations and representatives of civil society, I hereby request support and urgent attention to the case of a US citizen, activist and human rights defender, who is being held under involuntary psychiatric commitment under circumstances that raise serious doubts as to the legality and legitimacy of the procedure. The individual in question, known as **John Flynn**, has publicly denounced systematic practices of **cybertorture** — a term recognized by UN experts to describe forms of psychological and technological torture that include remote harassment, neural manipulation, invasive surveillance, and digital interference with the aim of silencing, destabilizing, or discrediting victims and activists ( ( There is strong evidence that his psychiatric commitment was based on questionable medical reports, without due process, and with the aim of covering up serious allegations involving transnational crimes and human rights violations. Such practice constitutes a possible **psychiatric fraud**, used as an instrument of political and social repression. We request: - The opening of an independent investigation into the circumstances of the hospitalization; - The guarantee of impartial legal and medical access to the patient; - The protection of the individual's civil and political rights; - The mobilization of international organizations to monitor the case; - The consideration of the phenomenon of cybertorture as a real threat to the physical and mental integrity of citizens in several countries. Freedom of expression, the right to mental integrity and protection against inhumane treatment are fundamental pillars of any democratic society. We cannot allow advanced technologies to be used to silence dissenting voices under the pretext of medical care. Sincerely, Targeted Individuals Worldwide ✨️

"Today, we can see the futility of the political route and the bankruptcy of the political system writ large." "Scotland is annexed, a dominion under the English crown. And it is the English crown, not the fictional UK crown, that we're all told about. "Not a partner, not of any kind. In fact, the whole partnership story is a concoction fashioned to convince the world that Scots are part of a joint state and to disguise the fact that Scotland is, in reality, nothing other than a colony. "It's not a partner in a marriage, but a kidnap victim. And you do not escape from a kidnapper by filing for divorce from a fictional marriage. "Second, even if it were possible to break free through a referendum or an election, or to propose any other route that would be approved as lawful by the kidnapping state, the political system in Scotland would not guarantee any of the things that sing in our bones as Scots. We dream of justice, compassion, equality, prosperity and care for all without preference or privilege. "But what we have is an english system of concentrated power and privilege, which those Scots who enjoy it will not give up easily. Where the government sits in authority over the people, and the people surrender their hopes, their ambitions and their human and civil rights to the whims of their elected representatives. Where all that we hold dear, all that we depend on for decency, fairness and security, depends on the honor, honesty and good faith of those elected. "Because once it is elected, we have no means of curbing, challenging or preventing anything a government may choose to do, whether or not that's lawful, just, rational or humane. "Today, we can see the futility of the political route and the bankruptcy of the political system writ large. Our helplessness in the face of the state marching side by side with destitution and despair. "This is why liberation was born. Because the route to the Scotland we dream of neither can nor will come through the present political system, but through the restoration of the political, territorial and judicial rights, the constitutional provisions that belong to the people of this nation, in law and in justice, even under the terms of this fraudulent union, and certainly under international law. "They mean that we, the people, are sovereign, in fact, not in sound bite, the ultimate authority of this nation of Scotland. "They mean that the interests of the people, collectively known as the common good, are not only the primary purpose of government, but the only condition on which it's permitted to exist. "They mean that we are entitled to overrule, remove or replace a government that violates that condition of its existence, that fails to honour its promises, to consult the people or to act according to their wishes and welfare. "And in the modern world, that means the right to all the mechanisms that we see in a nation like Switzerland, which will make that sovereign power a reality. "All this is part of what we call decolonization, true Scottish self determination. And it is the soul and purpose of liberation Scotland. "Impossible? Other nations have trodden the path to decolonisation. Not one has bowed to the kidnapper and asked for permission. "We know now that we can gain our independence as a state by first gaining independence from a colonizing power. So that instead of waiting to reclaim real sovereignty of the people after independence, we gain our independence by first reclaiming our sovereign Scottish rights. "The next step on this road is establishing the committee of the Scottish Liberation Movement. This committee will be elected from the membership of Liberation and will operate under a ratified constitution. "And it will register Scotland's Liberation Movement with the United Nations."

This man no be police oo. Ire oo PUBLIC NOTICE WARNING AGAINST ASSAULT ON LAW ENFORCEMENT OFFICERS. The Office of the Director General Security Matters is not unaware of the current tension in parts of the State following the unfortunate incident involving the death of Mr Oghenemine Ogidi in Effurun. We acknowledge the pain and concerns of citizens, and investigations into the matter are in full swing to ensure justice is served. 2.However, it has become necessary to address a disturbing trend arising from this incident. During a recent routine patrol by officers of Operation Delta Sweep, an individual accosted by them became unruly, questioned the lawful stop, and physically assaulted an officer by grabbing and dragging the officer's uniform. Contrary to what was being circulated, the officer involved is a member of the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC) on official duty, not a Police Officer. 3.The State Government and all security agencies strongly condemn this act. While we understand public anger over the Oghenemine Ogidi’s incident, it must be emphasised that no citizen is permitted to take the law into their own hands, insult, or assault officers discharging their lawful duties. 4. In view of the above, we therefore warn the general public as follows: i. Desist from any form of assault, obstruction, or disrespect toward law enforcement officers. Such actions are criminal and will be met with the full weight of the law. not resort to self-help or mob action. Two wrongs do not make a right. all complaints of misconduct, brutality, or unlawful behaviour by any law enforcement agent to the appropriate authorities: the Police Complaints Response Unit, or the Office of the Director General, Security Matters. 5.We appeal for calm and urge citizens to allow the law to take its course in the Mene case. The security of lives and property requires the cooperation of all. Attacking officers makes policing difficult and endangers the entire community. The State Government remains committed to justice, accountability, and the protection of all residents. Hon. David Tonwe Director General, Security Matters/Coordinator Operation Sweep Delta Police NG, Complaint Response Unit (CRU) Delta State Police Command POLICE COMPLAINT Nigeria Police Force Aliyu Giwa
