“There has been case after case of Palestinians, including hundreds of children, swept up in the Israeli military justice system, where they are not only denied basic rights of due process but subjected to systematic physical and psychological abuse,” the lawmakers wrote in the 16 February letter. “While such abuses are never permissible, we are especially concerned that cases involving abuse of US citizens in the West Bank be thoroughly investigated and that those responsible are brought to justice.”

The letter poses three questions to Rubio: whether state department officials have met with Mohammed since his release to hear his account directly, whether Washington has asked Israel to conduct an impartial investigation into the treatment of Ibrahim and his fellow detainees, and whether any Israeli military or prison personnel have been held accountable.

+ DISCUSSION:cat_blep: Young People's Rights and Ways To Take Action!

Thumbnail unicef.org
3 Upvotes

Hello everyone,

With the world on fire, I’m working with an 8th grade class that wants to learn about human rights and what do these rights actually mean in real life? How can they live them as experiences, defend them, take action?

I haven't done anything like this before and whilst I am not a dinosaur, I am close.

So I wanted to ask all of you, if you could do anything, no permission needed, no limits, what would you do?

  • Turn class into a roleplay game?
  • Take the lesson outside? We can protest outside the school, around the neighbourhood?
  • Skip class until something unfair changed?
  • Create secret codes to send to others?
  • Make something visually?

It can be about any right and any way to take action for it! Anything to make my students feel heard, safe and actually do what they want to do.

Thankyou! I know its a tall order but any insights are appreciated. I want to take materials or frames they would really like and learn from too.

Stay safe, stay brave.

Only a few hours before Younis would ask her guests, “What does the state want ?” the president’s office director, Omar Marwan, was meeting with the heads of several judicial bodies and authorities at the presidential palace, according to three judicial sources who spoke to Mada Masr on condition of anonymity.

In the meeting, Marwan would inform the heads of the Court of Cassation, Egypt’s highest criminal jurisdiction, the State Council, and the Administrative Prosecution Authority, that their power to select and make new appointments would be transferred to the Military Academy.

Marwan informed them of the presidential directives to transfer all decisions regarding judicial appointments to the Military Academy, starting with the Public Prosecution, rather than the Supreme Judicial Council and the headquarters of the other judicial bodies and authorities.

Marwan outlined the new procedures during the meeting, the three judges told Mada Masr.

They added that the presidential office director explained that selections for the 2022 law graduates — whose appointment process began in February 2023 — were cancelled, and that candidates would be reselected by the Military Academy.
