“The UN Working Group said at the group’s 77th session on November 2016 that it believed the minor had been tortured, his confessions “extracted” and that his arrest was arbitrary.”
Did they miss this part: “He faces other charges ranging from violence allegedly committed during protests – including helping to construct Molotov cocktails — to shooting at security forces.......”
I thought they said the protests were not violent? I don’t agree with Sharia Law, as it is limited and one sided. But it is up to the people of the country to determine what they want their country to do. We had the same choices in the latter 1700’s with England and again in the latter 1800’s with ourselves. They need to make their choices and accomplish change if they want to. If not, it’s their decision to allow this. And it isn’t news that makes a difference to us as it is their country and their way. Until it is changed by them. We’ve been getting into too many of these and it has cost us. Let them work it out by themselves, we did.
