IRAN'S EXECUTION FRENZY

Submitted by ACADP on Mon, 25/05/2015 - 10:59am

 

Since the beginning of 2015, at least 400 prisoners have been executed in Iran.

The execution frenzy in Iran (most taking place in public streets where hundreds gather to watch and cheer) continues at an alarming rate. This barbaric brutality is ignored by world political leaders and almost never published in the media.

Queen Elizabeth to be quizzed by Berlin demonstrators about Aborigines

Submitted by Diet Simon on Tue, 19/05/2015 - 7:56pm

The (German) Society for Threatened Peoples is planning an event in Berlin to support Australian Aborigines. We want to take Queen Elizabeth’s visit to our capital from 23 to 26 June as an opportunity to address her, the head of the Commonwealth, with an appeal to support the rights of Australian Aborigines. At the moment we are collecting statements of the Queen about this topic and are hoping for your support.
