Uyghur genocide slander 4b7ba

On February 26 the Canadian Parliament passed amotion, by a vote of 226 to 0, expressing the opinion that “the People’s Republic of China has” implemented “measures intended to prevent” Uyghur and other Turkic Muslim births and that these measures are “consistent with” the United Nations Genocide Convention.

The reality is that Beijing is not preventing Uyghur and other Turkic Muslim births, and a report by a German anthropologist widely cited as evidence that it is, contradicts this claim. That report, by Adrian Zenz, a fellow at a US government-created foundation whose mission is to bring about the end of communism and the Chinese Communist Party, reveals that while Chinese family planning policyrestrictsthe number of children Chinese couples are allowed to have, it does notpreventcouples in any group, including Uyghurs and other Turkic Muslims, from bearing children. Moreover, limits on…

Victory in Valencia: Occupied Anarchist Centre repels illegal Eviction Attack

via https://enoughisenough14..Originally published by Squat Net.

Valencia, Spanish State. The ‘CSOA L’Horta’ communicates the “archiving and acquittal of the criminal case for usurpation taken by Sareb, S.A. which motivated the attempt of illegal eviction” of the anarchist social center.

notes: CSOA = Occupied Anarchist Social Centre. SAREB= a bank set up by the state to dump toxic loans and property in. Horta = vegetable garden

The CSOA, which has hosted a multitude of cultural and social events and activities, has been in existence for eight years, but “for the last two or three years the Sareb has been filing civil lawsuits.

The popular response was forceful when, on 14 December, a large police force – 18 vans and several dozen officers – tried to evict the CSOA L’Horta in Benimaclet (Valencia): hundreds of people responded to the call of the social centre to defend the space built by the neighbourhood, managing to paralyse it and reoccupy it.

Patriarchy and sexual violence. From complicity to resistance

marchudson's avatar

Content warning: discussion of rape, suicide, complicity.

I knew the woman who is at the centre of the allegations of rape against the Attorney-General of Australia, Christian Porter (allegations he denies).

Her family have asked for her not to be named, and although her name is now circulating in corners of the Internet, their wishes should be respected.

She was smart, funny, talented. I knew her at Adelaide University in 1990 and 1991. We were not close friends, but we enjoyed each others company, and I had respect for her intelligence (which was, as others have said), formidable.

She never told me anything about what had happened to her, and that is a relief, because I know I would not have been a good ally. I know this because less than two years later I was not a good ally to someone I knew less well who told me that…
