"De Amerikaanse krant The New York Times heeft beelden gepubliceerd waarop te zien is dat het konvooi met onder meer ambulances en een brandweerwagen van omgekomen hulpverleners van de Palestijnse Rode Halve Maan (PRCS) met zwaailichten reed.
De beelden staan haaks op de bewering van Israël."
'Het Rode Kruis spreekt van de dodelijkste aanval op zijn hulpverleners sinds 2017. In de oorlog in de Gazastrook zijn tot nu toe dertig Rode Kruis-medewerkers gedood. In totaal zijn er sinds het begin van de oorlog minstens 1060 zorgmedewerkers gedood, zeggen de Verenigde Naties.'

#China has executed four #Canadians over #drug-related convictions, #Canada’s foreign affairs minister said Wednesday, a development that threatens to worsen an already tense relationship between the countries.
Mélanie Joly, the Canadian minister, told reporters that she condemned the #executions, & that the government would still seek clemency for others.

Today in Labor History February 10, 1930: The Việt Nam Quốc Dân Đảng launched the failed Yên Bái mutiny in hope of overthrowing French control. Vietnamese soldiers in the French colonial army mutinied in collaboration with civilian supporters. They hoped to inspire a wider uprising among the general populace to overthrow the colonial regime and establish independence. No one knows how many died in the fighting. However, the French colonial authorities executed 13 leaders of the mutiny.

"Some 400 kidnappings and killings have been reported since the government of Bashar al-Assad was toppled in early December"
"Many victims are members of Bashar al-Assad's Alawite sect"
No judicial process. Al-Assad was bad, but nobody's talking about the jails in Idlib and only The Cradle and few others report the extra judicial killings that have been happening during and after Assad at the hands of HTS (ex al Qaeda).

@fulelo #DonaldTheDeplorable - who was the target 
of at least two #assassination attempts - plans to increase #executions. 
So, it’s a race?
#Trump supports the #DeathPenalty, & during his 2024 presidential campaign he called for an expansion, suggesting that “drug dealers & human traffickers” & child sex abusers should be put to death. During his first term, Trump restarted federal #executions after a nearly 20-year pause; all 13 were carried out in the final six months of his administration. He has not said how he will expand the death penalty to new federal crimes.
#POTUS #Biden on Monday commuted the sentences of nearly all prisoners on federal #DeathRow, sparing the lives of 37 men just a month before #Trump will return to the Oval Office w/a promise to restart federal #executions.
Those affected by #Biden’s action, all of whom were convicted of murder, will serve life imprisonment w/o the possibility of parole instead of facing #execution. Only 3 men, who each carried out notorious mass killings, will remain on federal death row.
#POTUS #Biden Commutes 37 Death Sentences Ahead of #Trump’s Plan to Resume Federal #Executions
Those affected by the president’s action on Monday are still subject to life imprisonment without the possibility of parole. Three men will remain on federal #DeathRow.

L’escalade de la tragédie : La multiplication des exécutions de femmes en Iran

At the time of writing, the 749 Battalion is operating in northern Gaza and Jabalia, where, even following Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar’s killing in southern #Gaza, Israel’s campaign has intensified to the point of #executions and #depopulation. There, the battalion is seemingly racing to destroy as many buildings as possible. As one soldier put it, “We will leave them nothing!”

‘I’m terrified I’ll be executed’:
Trump win could bring spree of death row killings
If Donald Trump wins the election, he is expected to pursue a spree of #executions that could fast-track the cases of people on federal death row,
and threaten the life of a man with a longstanding innocence claim.
Advocates for people on death row fear a second Trump term could be worse than his first,
which saw an unprecedented 13 federal executions.
Under Trump, more people incarcerated in the federal system were put to death than under the previous 10 presidents combined,
a staggering number that raised grave human rights concerns.
Among those who were executed were people with intellectual disabilities.
Defendants were deprived of opportunities to present new evidence.
Some were killed after lawyers said the execution method was “tortuous”.
In some cases, executions occurred over the objections of both victims and prosecutors.
Since his defeat in the 2020 presidential election, Trump’s pro-death penalty rhetoric, which dates back to his 1989 campaign against the Central Park Five, has only escalated.
He’s recently called for executions of “everyone who gets caught selling drugs” and has reportedly suggested government leakers should be executed for treason.
Last year, Rolling Stone reported, Trump allegedly floated bringing back firing squads and hangings and pursuing group executions and televised killings.
Project 2025, the rightwing blueprint for a second Trump term that was written by Trump’s allies, although it has been disavowed by the former president, calls for the US government to
do “everything possible to obtain finality” for the 40 people on federal death row.
It also urges the president to expand capital punishment to non-homicide crimes and push the US supreme court to overrule precedent limiting death sentences to murders.
“Trump has said he plans to finish what he started,” said Billie Allen, 47, in a recent call from federal death row in Terre Haute, Indiana.
Allen, convicted of a 1997 robbery and murder, has maintained his innocence, but he has exhausted his appeals.
“I’m terrified that I will be executed
– not just because I’m going to die, but because I’m going to die for something I didn’t do ...
I can only hope that as someone who is innocent he would do the right thing.”
