Shocking UN Report Lists Crimes by the Ukrainian Authorities

By Arina TSUKANOVA | Strategic Culture Foundation | 11.06.2016

The 13^th report of the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights on the human rights situation in Ukraine between 16 November 2015 and 15 February 2016, when the Minsk Agreements were in force, has come as a shock to Kiev.

According to the UN, more than three million people live in the areas directly affected by the conflict. The exact number of people who have left Ukraine-controlled territory is still unknown, although rough estimates range from 800,000 to 1,000,000 people. The Ukrainian government has estimated that more than a million people have left southeast Ukraine for Russia, Belarus and Europe.

MI5 accused of covering up abuse of boys in Northern Ireland in 1970s

The abuse victims will take legal action on Tuesday to force a full independent probe into the alleged cover-up of British state involvement in the abuses. They want an inquiry with the power to force witnesses to testify, and the security service to hand over documents. The children allegedly suffered sustained sexual abuse.

It has been intimated that as much as one million stolen bitcoins are to be donated to the Kurds via the Rojava Plan, a project that has arisen from what some argue is an anarchist-feminist ideology. A much smaller donation of $11,000 has already been made. The doner, who has been described as a modern-day ‘Robin Hood’, claims to have been behind the infamous hack of the Hacking Team last year and prior to that the Gamma Group. The Rojava Plan is one aspect of the social revolution underway in Rojava, the Kurdistan province in northern Syria, which we have extensively reported on (see up to date links at end of article).

Change in government’s energy policy blamed for job losses just as solar power eclipses coal in electricity generation

Terry Macalister Energy editor:  The solar power industry says it has seen the loss of more than half its 35,000 jobs due to recent changes in government energy policy, just at a time when solar power has eclipsed coal as a major generator of Britain’s electricity.

Experts believe ministers had cut subsidies too far and too fast, praising the “seismic”, record-breaking growth of solar in recent years.

This month the Solar Cloth Company became the latest to be put into administration, following the liquidation and 170 job losses at Solarlec two weeks ago.
