Igor Yaroslav González, accused of being the perpetrator of the femicide of María Isabel Pavez on December 23, 2020, was finallty captured by the police in a Valparaíso hostel on January 6, 2021, after two weeks of being a fugitive.

The Turkish ‘elected dictator’ Erdogan has extended his dreams of Empire in Libya, Uzbekistan, Idlib, Rojava, Iraq and even Pakistan. He is now best friends with Putin, celebrating the arrival of Russian gas this week all the way to Serbia via TurkStream 2.
He’s also keen to get pally with Biden and resume arms deals, has concluded the very first Brexit free trade agreement with the UK, and is even hoping to get an increase on the 6 billion euros he extorted from EU taxpayers for NOT allowing the passage of refugees, who he trebly exploits as semi slave labour and jihadi mercenary ‘material’.
The least we can do is boycott Turkish goods and holidays, and support the victims of torture, invasion and ethnic cleansing.

Turkish Year in Review: TORTURE DOSSIER
According to a review by the Stockholm Center for Freedom, Turkey has experienced a marked resurgence of torture and ill-treatment in custody over the past five years and especially since a coup attempt on July 15, 2016.
Lack of condemnation from higher officials and a readiness to cover up allegations rather than investigate them have resulted in widespread impunity for security forces.
The enormous gulf between Turkey’s constitutional provisions for the protection of human rights and the grim reality on the ground continued to grow during the year. In a landmark decision, Turkey’s Constitutional Court in November found a government decree that granted immunity to civilians who were involved in criminal activities to suppress the abortive putsch to be constitutional, hence sanctioning the country’s culture of impunity at the highest level.

Here is some of the most important news from 2020 in the field of torture and inhuman treatment:

As every year I have collected catalogs from different Spanish toy stores, from Corte Inglés, Uncle Sam, Drim and ToysRus, I have looked at the websites of the most “interesting” toy brands.
I have even had a good time zapping between the Super3 channel, Boing and Clan… seeing what I’ve seen let’s go back to the toys that perpetuate gender roles and the values of domination.

Demands that President Donald Trump be fully held to account for inciting the fascist mob that rampaged through the U.S. Capitol Building proliferated Wednesday as all hell broke loose in Washington, D.C., with members of Congress and journalists forced to seek shelter as the lame-duck incumbent’s supporters shattered windows and clashed with law enforcement.

Anti-feminism unites far-right movements, which share the idea that men and women are inherently unequal. It is for them an integral part of their fight against a multicultural, mixed society. Background analysis on masculinist strategies and analyzes.
The far right combines the reactionary, conspiratorial, ‘confusionist’, masculinist, etc. Historically, racist and xenophobic dynamics have always worked hand in hand with misogynistic and more broadly, patriarchal dynamics. Moreover, many speak of “genderist or racialist drifts” to qualify/denigrate progressive currents.
Among the most conspiratorial fads is that of a feminism that seeks to remove women from their maternal role in order to bring down demographics and allow immigration; an aspect of what some call ‘the great replacement theory’.
In the same vein, we find the opponents of “gender theory”. These activists fantasize about manipulation of the state and the teaching profession by feminists, the “gay lobby” and the left, the aim of which would be through school programs, to appease or ‘de-gender’ children. In fact, they refuse to talk about gender, preferring to use the term sex, thus ignoring the research and reflections that have been going on for more than half a century.
Their thought, homophobic and transphobic, was heard during the Manif pour tous, soberly renamed Marchons Enfants. There is once again the fear of demographic decline, this time linked to LGBTI people. The incels (“involuntary celibates”) are among the most famous masculinist groups, alongside the MGTOWs (Men Going Their Own Way or men who have chosen to remain celibate).
Incels see themselves as nice guys, wronged by women, who deny them sexual and romantic relationships, although they say women exist to satisfy men,. They feel that they do not have their rightful place in what they call the “sex market”.
