Un jurado de Estados Unidos ha rechazado imputar a los agentes de la Policía de Ohio que en julio de 2022 dispararon casi una centena de veces contra Jayland Walker, un joven afroamericano desarmado durante una persecución, alegando que los policías actuaron en defensa propia.
 
El fiscal general del estado de Ohio, Dave Yost, ha confirmado que el jurado ha concluido que los agentes hicieron un uso correcto de la fuerza, durante la persecución de Jayland Walker, de 25 años, tras parar su vehículo al observar que tenía una luz rota.
 
‘Se acercó a coger algo de su cinturón en lo que los agentes describieron como un gesto de sacar un arma, plantó el pie y se giró hacia los policías levantando la mano, ahí fue cuando ellos dispararon, creyendo que Walker les estaba disparando’, ha descrito el fiscal.

Researchers found short-chain chlorinated paraffins, or SCCPs — a group of cancer-causing chemicals used in metalworking and the production of PVC, plastics, rubbers and other materials — in a wide array of household products, according to a study published Tuesday in Environmental Science: Processes & Impacts.

Banned chemicals that potentially cause cancer in humans have been discovered in a wide array of household products, according to a study published in the journal Environmental Science: Processes & Impacts.

Short-chain chlorinated paraffins (SCCPs) are a group of chemicals that are used in metalworking and the production of PVC, plastics, rubbers and other materials.

They are persistent chemicals, meaning they don’t degrade in the environment and accumulate in animals. Chlorinated paraffins have been detected in various wildlife and in human milk and blood.

The new study shows that SCCPs are still widely present in household goods despite bans on the chemicals, indicating the need for more regulatory action. Researchers found SCCPs in 84 of 96 household goods tested in Canada.

Religious Fascists Poisoning 1000’s of Revolutionary Girls – Iran/Rojhilat

Scared by women’s revolution in Iran the State allows misogynist terrorists to make war on rebel schoolgirls with dozens more poison gas attacks on their schools.

The chemical attacks targeting 20 more schools in multiple cities in Iran spark concerns

The Rojava Revolution has spread to Iran, clashing with state sponsored repression of women expressed in waves of poison gas attacks on revolutionary girls by cowardly men fearful of losing their 1000 year old privileges

The Rojava example still survives among multiple enemies, with a strong anti capitalist co-op movement and joint women’s leadership. There are Arab, Azadi and Syriac women’s militias within the broad SDF defense coalition and Kurdish women guerillas fight in Turkey, Iraq and Iran.

But it is the inspiring Jineoloji women’s ideology that has spread like wildfire to neighbouring countries and also to groups around the world. The YPJ (Women’s Protection Units) were organised, to the horror of Patriarchal Regimes, and began to free themselves, their families, communities, and homeland from ISIS and medieval style abuse. see slso: Organizing Transformed Spaces: Kurdish Women, Jineoloji and Rojava

As with other Kurdish movements, the recent uprising known as ‘Jina’s Revolution’ (after ) inside Iran, with the Kurdish slogan of Jin, Jîyan, Azadî (Women, Life, Freedom), has been making headlines for months and has strong roots in the Kurdish people’s long history of freedom struggles.

The Islamic Republic of Iran has a reputation for being one of the most misogynistic and anti-woman in the world, depriving women of their most fundamental human rights both by the state and within society.

Iran was freed from a the murderous British and US sponsored dictatorship by a fundamentalist Iranian Revolution in 1979. Ever since it has been constantly attacked, subverted, blockaded and severely sanctioned by the US and allies which covet its oil resources.

In reply Iran has been unfortunately controlled by a militarized autocratic regime using religion and heavy repression to defend itself and control its 17 unique ethnic minority cultures.

This regime has been specifically targeting the Kurdish majority area of Rojhilat ( Eastern Kurdistan NW Iran) because of their long-standing opposition to the central Iranian state.

The successful ideas of the Rojava Revolution in N Syria have spread to the Rojhilat resistance, especially to women, and it was here that the death in custody of a Kurdish women, Jina Amini for not wearing religious clothing sparked a women-led protest movement that has swept the whole country.

Hengaw: Monday, April 17, 2023

“One of the students of Tarawat School, whose name is withheld by Hengaw, said in this regard: ‘One hour before the chemical attack, 12 passengers in three cars entered the schoolyard and locked the exit door. Two of these forces went to the janitor’s room and then collected all the CCTV cameras, and took them with them at the end’.  She added: ‘All these people were wearing masks and after they left, symptoms of poisoning and nausea appeared in the students’.
