Rael supports China’s call for a de-Americanized world

Submitted by Anonymous (not verified) on Thu, 17/10/2013 - 1:10pm

LAS VEGAS, Oct. 16 – After China’s official news agency called for a “de-Americanized world,” and referred to the United States as “a hypocritical nation with a dysfunctional government,” Rael, leader of the International Raelian Movement (IRM), issued his support for China’s position in a statement released today by the IRM.

“I totally support de-Americanization,” he said. “China should lead ex-victims of Euro-American colonialism and imperialism in this movement. It should create an alliance that includes all past victims.”

World Day Against Death Penalty (October 10)

Submitted by ACADP on Thu, 10/10/2013 - 12:00pm

Australian human rights activists are voicing their opposition against the use of the death penalty around the world by educating the public and raising awareness of the facts and fallacies surrounding the use of the death penalty worldwide.

Currently 21 countries continue to use this barbaric form of punishment and approximately 23,000 prisoners are awaiting execution.

The Australian Coalition Against Death Penalty (ACADP) calls upon and urges Australian political leaders to publicly voice their opposition against this form of state-sanctioned violence disguised as justice.
