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.

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.

“Let the man begin to live,” Waters said in an interview on Monday, insisting Assange must be freed from custody at London’s maximum security Belmarsh Prison without delay, hours after Judge Vanessa Baraitser ruled against extradition for the anti-secrecy activist.
