Assad security forces open fire on a school bus - CNN iReport

This story came to my attention last Sunday at a peaceful morning in Iowa, USA. A dear relative sent me a message via Facebook, that Hajar Al Khatib, a friend of his daughter was killed at a security check point north of the city of Homs while attempting to travel to final week of the school year 2011. When my wife heard the story she started crying.

Hamza al-Khateeb, boy with compassion for others, age 13 Killed by Assad

Tortured and killed: Hamza al-Khateeb, age 13 - Features - Al Jazeera English

"He would often ask his parents for money to give to the poor. I remember once he wanted to give someone 100 Syrian Pounds ($2), and his family said it was too much. But Hamza said, 'I have a bed and food while that guy has nothing.' And so he persuaded his parents to give the poor man the 100."

In the hands of President Bashar al-Assad's security forces, however, Hamza found no such compassion, his humanity degraded to nothing more than a lump of flesh to beat, burn, torture and defile, until the screaming stopped at last.

United Nations Rights Chief Decries Syrian 'Brutality' SETF

YouTube - Syria UN rights chief decries Syrian 'brutality' SETF

The United Nations has condemned the "shocking" brutality of Bashar al-Assad's government, with activists saying that at least 15 people have been killed in the latest crackdown on pro-democracy protesters.

Navi Pillay, the UN high commissioner for human rights, criticised on Monday the government's conduct, saying the actions were shocking in their disregard for human rights.

"The brutality and magnitude of measures taken by the governments in Libya and now Syria have been particularly shocking in their outright disregard for basic human rights," she told the UN Human Rights Council in Geneva, Switzerland.

For a second straight day on Monday, dozens of tanks circled towns and villages in the Homs area, north of Damascus.


At least 14 people were shot dead on Sunday and Monday in Rastan and Talbiseh, towns in the flashpoint central region of Homs.

Among those killed was "a little girl called Hajar al-Khatib", the AFP news agency reported.

United Nations Must Send Assad Al Bashar to International Criminal Court, with his corrupt family and buddies, like Gaddafi and Mubarak!

Torturing Children to Death is not a crime against humanity covered in the Roman Statutes?

Where is the enforcement? What good are Roman Statutes without enforcement?
What is going on? United Nations and International Criminal Court don't know how to follow their own laws? Or they don't know how to enforce their own laws?

Maybe they need to contact the Navy Seals? ... better yet, how about listening to protesters instead of Criminals! The corruption begins with "Conflict of Interest" start cleaning house!

These excuses have got to stop! Extreme violators of human rights, claiming they don't feel well, so they don't have to face charges of murder, torture and rape towards civilians, elderly, women, children and infants! And International Criminal Court lets them take a vacation at a resort?

I report murder and torture to the United Nations, 100's of messages that include "evidence of crime" according to the Roman Statutes ... but they still do nothing?

Will the "real world leaders" please take a stand? Ask some of the protesters how to be a leader, they know how to take action, and they are still standing! And the Whole World Stands with them, but world leaders are ….. actually “standing by” , but they do write and speak of political poetry, philosophical rationale, and make empty promises. If I want poetry and philosophy I will go to the library!

We will win this victory ... one way or another, because the Lord of Divine Love is with the people who know what to do with their talents. They do not bury them or use them for selfish greed. The Power of Divine Love will win in the end, but right now, today …

WE ARE ALL ACCOUNTABLE FOR THE LIVES OF INNOCENT CHILDREN!

In this case, A Right Denied is a Life Denied!
Do Something! Take Action! If you don’t know how, then ask the right people!
I can make you a list!

International Criminal Court / Roman Statutes NOT A JOKE! .. I hope! =o ElementsOfCrimesEng.pdf (application/pdf Object)

ElementsOfCrimesEng.pdf (application/pdf Object)

Evidence of Crimes = Assad Al Bashar and his Dictator Buddies! Let's get rid of them all!

GLOBAL PROTEST FOR HUMAN RIGHTS! ... AND FOR ALL HUMANS, INCLUDING SYRIANS!

When I despair, I remember that all through history the ways of truth and love have always won. There have been tyrants, and murderers, and for a time they can seem ... Mahatma Gandhi

Come United Nations and International Criminal Court --GET WITH THE PROGRAM! This is 2011, not 1960!

UN and ICC must Stop Talking & Take ACTION! Innocent Civilians Die Waiting for Enforcement of Roman Statutes --Or are Roman Statutes also a Joke?

SOCIALIST UNITY

Assad must be sent to International Criminal Court Immediately!
Just because history has been through hell, does not mean we should be tolerant of crimes against humanity!
If the world now sees first hand real time crimes being committed then it is HIGH TIME THE UNITED NATIONS AND INTERNATIONAL CRIMINAL COURT START DOING "SOMETHING" WITH THE SEAT THEY ARE WARMING! –LEAD OR GET THE HELL OUT OF THE WAY!

They sit in their big chairs and have "peace talks" without action!
They have meetings to discuss philosophical rationale? Well, let me into one of those meetings, because I will rip your political poetry to shreds!

It is high time World Leaders started Leading, instead of just sitting around collecting annual salaries for nothing!

It's high time The Universal Declaration of Human Rights --- came with "ENFORCEMENT" because a rule without enforcement is nothing but a joke!

All the Roman Statutes that have been violated.... ARE THEY JOKES TOO?

I will do 'everything' in my power to raise awareness to the NEEDED REALITY CHECK OF THE ATROCITIES BEING COMMITTED HERE ARE WORSE THAN HITLER! An awakening is in order! The "principalities of darkness" have ruled long enough! It is time for the world to know who these shadows are, named Assad Al Bashar, Gaddafi, Saif al-Islam, Mubarak, Mladic, Ali Abdullah Saleh, Abdullah al-Sensussi, Ben Ali fled, Karadzic, etc....

News spreads fast, and I am going to make sure it spreads even faster, to ensure that the ENTIRE WORLD KNOWS THE TRUTH about Crimes against Humanity! I will raise awareness and start recruiting advocates, promote fundraising efforts, petitions, letters to people who want to get elected, and I will multiply protester's efforts 100,000 Fold! I may be a TurtleWoman777, but I am tenaciously spirited with Divine Love –which is more powerful than evil pride and greed.

There is no excuse for tolerating Crimes against Humanity! Immediate Action is required, and if you are not part of the "action" you are part of the problem! Supporters worldwide have a lot of work to do, and I promise to continue the Great Work, until victory is won.

I am learning every day of what more can be done. For one thing, I don't know why we continue to wait for the United Nations / United Bystanders to refer Assad Al Bashar to International Criminal Court, because according to the ICC, Individuals can file a complaint by email, sending "evidence of crimes" on videos and photos of crimes against humanity on tape, which the whole world has plenty to share.

The ICC is "supposed" to guarantee “protection” and to “investigate” a crime if there is proper “evidence of crimes”. Evidence is not the problem here! The lack of Law Enforcement is the problem!
There are literally 1000's of videos on YouTube.com of dictator crimes around the globe, and these videos can be reviewed and confirmed authentic. Hollywood is not that good!

Here is the form for Individuals to File a Complaint for Crimes against Humanity. I will continue to search for additional ways to help stop this unnecessary violence!

Syria becomes centre of struggle for regional influence
Jean Shaoul, WSWS, May 28 2011

With the failure of the anti-government movement to make significant headway against Pres Assad’s regime, there are now regional efforts to bolster the disparate and fractious opposition forces. Assad’s regime appears, for the time being at least, to have contained the social unrest within the poverty-stricken agricultural areas and prevented its spread to the main population centres of Damascus and Aleppo. Last week, a call for a general strike by the Facebook site Syria Revolution 2011 elicited little response, and the demonstrations after Friday prayers were small. Last weekend, the government stepped up its lethal crackdown on all dissent. There were reports that 30 people were killed after Friday prayers, which have become a rallying point for protesters in a country where any public meeting requires permission, and another 20 killed over the weekend. Yesterday witnessed at least eight more deaths. Assad’s lethal use of tanks, troops, security forces, police and armed thugs has played a major role in deterring protesters. But a further factor is the character, perspective and leadership of the “opposition” forces and dissidents being promoted by the US, UK and French media.

Many of the more prominent opposition spokesmen are associated with Washington, London and Paris, which seek to draw Syria away from its alliance with Iran in favour of an openly pro-Western orientation. Not a few are regime defectors and CIA operatives. A number have been funded or sponsored by Washington, including the Damascus Declaration Group, a coalition of Syria’s splintered opposition parties including the Muslim Brotherhood. The leaders include Dr Kamal al-Labwani, who was invited to the White House, Michel Kilo and Riad Seif, a wealthy businessman and former legislator. Another oppositionist is the former Syrian vice president and wealthy businessman Abdul Halim Khaddam, who has close links to the slain former Lebanese PM Rafiq Hariri, his son Saad Hariri, and the Saudi regime, and now lives in exile in Paris. Khaddam’s armed supporters and Islamists were involved in the protests in the coastal town of Baniyas that sought to overthrow Assad, a plot foreshadowed in the leaked US cables. The social website Syrian Revolution 2011, which has played a prominent role in calling the protests and posting news of the unrest, is operated from Sweden and has close links with the Muslim Brotherhood and other Islamist groups.

The US and other major powers maintain grave reservations over any open call for Assad’s ouster for fear of destabilising the region, of which Syria is the linchpin. Nevertheless, their attitude has hardened. The White House, whose real target is Tehran, has put sanctions on members of the Syrian regime, including Assad himself. In announcing another round of sanctions in April, Obama included the Iranian Revolutionary Guard, which he accused of assisting in Assad’s repression of the opposition. The EU and Canada have followed suit and extended sanctions to Assad. Last week, Obama demanded in his speech on Middle East and North Africa policy that the Syrian government “start a serious dialogue to advance a democratic transition.” He stopped short of calling for Assad to go, but said he “should either lead his country through a democratic transition or get out of the way.” This appears to be part of a broader policy shift by Washington. Significantly, Soumaya Ghannoushi noted in the Guardian:

A number of Arab activists, including the Egyptian democracy and human rights activist Esraa Abdel Fattah, were invited to an event hosted by the Project on Middle East Democracy last month, one of many recent conferences and seminars. Meetings between high-ranking US officials, such as House majority leader Steny Hoyer, and the Muslim Brotherhood took place in Cairo last month, while the deputy chairman of Tunisia’s Islamist Ennahda party has recently returned from a visit to Washington to ‘discuss democratic transition’.

On May 24, the Syrian American Council organised a meeting of 400 US Syrian oppositionists in Washington to urge the Obama administration to put pressure on the Syrian government and use the International Criminal Court to indict Assad for the repression in Syria. The Muslim Brotherhood has called for people to support the anti-government protests, and stoked sectarianism. Its objective, the establishment of a Sunni Islamic state, is backed by Saudi Arabia, Qatar and the other Gulf States as a means of combating Iranian and Shi’ite influence in the region. It does not, however, command wide support in Syria, a country with many religions and sects, not least among the majority Sunni population. Sheikh Yusuf al-Qaradawi, who preaches on Al Jazeera, has called for Assad to be deposed, leading the Syrian president to threaten a break of all political and commercial relations at a meeting with Qatari PM bin Jassem. Assad has also suspended Qatar’s $6b investment in projects in Syria. According to the WSJ, dissidents have been meeting across Europe but have failed to come up with a common programme or strategy. In an effort to overcome these differences, next week Turkey is to host a major four-day meeting of opposition groups and activists in Antalya, including dissidents associated with the US-backed Damascus Declaration and the Muslim Brotherhood. Turkey’s aim is to establish influence over any possible replacement for Assad’s regime, or at least over parties that might play some role in government alongside the Ba’athists, as part of a compromise forced on Assad by the imperialist powers. The conference, open to all opposition groups, is to elect a national transitional council.

The meeting follows a meeting in Istanbul last month of Syria’s Muslim Brotherhood, long outlawed. Its press conference was carried live on Al Jazeera, the Qatar-based news service. Fronted by the Independent Industrialists’ and Businessmen’s Association, the conference was financed and organised by Gazi Misirli, a Syrian with Turkish citizenship and a leader of the Muslim Brotherhood. Turkey’s hosting of the meeting was met with anger in Damascus, which banned the Brotherhood following its armed uprising against Hafez al-Assad in the late 1970s. This was ruthlessly suppressed, and thousands of its supporters were massacred in Hama in 1982. In an interview with Hurriyet Daily News, Nidal Kabalan, Syria’s ambassador to Turkey, said:

For us, the Muslim Brotherhood is like the PKK is for Turkey. The Muslim Brotherhood has been attacking the army.

Ankara’s support for Syria’s oppositionists marks a shift in its relations with Damascus, which have become increasingly close over the last 10 years. Trade and investment have expanded, visa restrictions lifted, and the two countries have even held joint cabinet meetings and military exercises. But in the last few weeks, both PM Erdogan and Foreign Minister Davutoglu have been to Damascus to urge Assad to engage in a “national dialogue” with the protesters, bring members of the Muslim Brotherhood into the cabinet, mount an anti-corruption campaign, allow multi-party elections and legalise protests. Behind this hardening of attitude towards the Assad regime is Turkey’s fear that any unrest in Syria’s predominantly Kurdish northeast towns, devastated by the four-year-long drought, could spill over into Turkey, especially as a descent into civil war would lead thousands of Syrians to flee across the border. Erdogan justified Turkey’s stance, saying:

The situation in Syria is the equivalent of internal politics for Turkey.

Turkey was “quite concerned and annoyed” by events there, he said. Foreign Minister Davutoglu went further, demanding that Assad immediately institute reforms to pacify the protesters. He said:

Now what he needs is shock therapy to gain the heart of his people as early as possible.

The meeting to be held in Antalya was originally to have been held in Egypt. But belatedly, Cairo refused to give permission for what would have been the first major gathering of Syria’s opposition in an Arab capital for more than a decade. Since the fall of Mubarak, Egypt’s military regime has been seeking to restore its standing as a regional power-broker and to win domestic support. To this end it has distanced itself from Israel and made placatory gestures towards the Palestinians, such as an opening of the Gaza border. It has also sought to draw the Muslim Brotherhood and other Islamist parties into some new government. Lebanon News noted that it was Qaradawi who recently presided over a massive rally in Egypt’s Tahrir Square, significant due “not only to his influence among the Muslim Brothers”, but as regards an “emerging Qatari-Egyptian rapprochement”, epitomised by Qatari plans to invest more than $10b in Egypt. However, this shift has also been accompanied by a certain rapprochement with Iran, including tentative talks on restoring diplomatic relations after a 30-year breakdown, which may explain why permission for the rally was ultimately denied. Even so, Cairo still sees Iran as a major rival and is well aware that it faces serious opposition from the US to any warming of relations with Tehran. In an oblique warning to Egypt not to get too close to the Khatami regime, US Asst Sec State Jeffrey Feltman said this week, “Egyptians know very well the type of problems” Iran causes in the region. Given this, the US was not “very concerned” over Cairo’s decisions regarding its relations with Tehran.

SYRIAN REVOLUTION PRESS: Cry of conscience from Syria,

Cry of conscience from Syria,

Through public letter to UN and prosecutor General of the international criminal court
two months ago we have submitted issue in front of the prosecutor General of the international criminal court, That based to the Rome statute article 15/1, asking him begin investigation related to the massacres occurred by Syrian regime against Syrian civilian population,

Where the court has sent us, they had been registered the case, and sent us reference number. (The court reference no.)

Where, today the number of dead reached up to 1100 civilian persons, included more than 25 children,

But, unfortunately, the UN, and international criminal court, still happy to watch this massacres,

Therefore, we wonder
If there is still a conscience, in the hearts of those officials at the judicial institutions of the United Nations,

Legally, the case has been submitted based on the following legal articles and elements:
Article 5.b; Crimes against humanity Rome statute,
And the principles of the international humanitarian law “IHL",

The Syrian government must immediately stop the killing of civilians, protect peaceful demonstrators, provide open access to medical care, allow free access to humanitarian organizations and international media and expedite serious political and democratic reforms that satisfy the aspirations of the Syrian people.Click here to find your Representative To find your Congressman: house.gov To find your Senator: senate.gov Call the White House: 202-456-1414 Call the U.S. State Department: 202-647-4000 and 202-647-6575 Sen.

His groans sounded more bestial than human. It was one of many fleeting images of human degradation I witnessed during four days as an unwilling guest of Syrian intelligence, when I was detained in Damascus after reporting on protests in the southern Syrian city of Daraa"

MORE HORRIFYING SOLID EVIDENCE OF ASSAD AL BASHAR CRIMES, A GROUP OF ASSAD FORCES ATTACK AN UNARMED MAN AND BEAT HIM TO DEATH, ON VIDEO AS EVIDENCE WHICH I SENT TO THE UNITED NATIONS TO ADD TO THEIR COMPILATION OF ASSAD'S CRIMES, MURDER, TORTURE, AND RAPE OF CIVILIANS. UNITED NATIONS MUST SEND ASSAD TO INTERNATIONAL CRIMINAL COURT. ASSAD GADDAFI MUBARAK AND HITLER TAKE THE WORLD RECORD ON EVIL.

What I wonder,... does Assad and Gaddafi really think they are going to get away with these crimes? And what on earth causes a human being to turn into an evil monster? Is is greed? pride? ... I don't understand how they can sleep or eat knowing what of the atrocities they commit every day. Does Gaddafi and Assad really believe that they are going to receive a throne in hell? Because that is the best they could hope for, knowing they are mortal beings. The bad news for Assad and Gaddafi right now, is they are next in line behind Mubarak, and there is even more criminal evidence against Assad and Gaddafi, because they have been going on for longer than 18 days. Maybe these men have "knowledge" of some kind, but they are in no way wise.

Gandhi was wise: When I despair, I remember that all through history the ways of truth and love have always won. There have been tyrants, and murderers, and for a time they can seem invincible, but in the end they always fall. Think of it--always.

HOW COULD HELL BE WORSE THAN THIS?! -- Syria NOW!

United Nations Must send Assad to International Criminal Court for approximately 1000 murders, mass torture and rape to civilians, including gang raping women and raping children as young as 8 years old, the murder of infants sleeping in their homes, and many people including children losing limbs and eyes. These atrocities are EXTREMELY VIOLENT and brutal. I have watched many videos, and what I have seen is 100X worse than anything I have ever seen in my life. Assad is 100X worse than Hitler. One video sent to me the other day was so violent, it was worse than any horror movie Hollywood could produce, with the screams of heartfelt pain from loved ones watching their family and children literally ripped open like madmen in a slaughter house. I have seen videos so full of blood and flesh, human beings were unrecognizable. It is 100X worse than the vision of Hell in the book of Revelation. I saw many videos of blood flowing down the street, 6 to 8 feet wide puddles of blood, while other civilians are running around screaming, carrying their loved ones in their arms that are mangled beyond recognition, yelling "Get an ambulance! Get a car!" hanging on to the hope of saving a child, who is missing part of his head. It keeps me up at night, my heart pounding as I hear the cries for help, knowing what is happening .. I don’t want to hear the philosophical rationale of why the United Nations waits for 1000 deaths, at least 100’s of women so far testified to be ganged raped for days, at least 8000 people missing, and I do not know how many of the missing people were in those piles of flesh that I saw in the streets. I never imagined that even hell could be this horrifying. Syria is “literally hell on earth” right now …. Still while I type this, and every day until “action” is taken to protect the lives of these innocent people who continue to be so brave, and that remain standing! Most of the protesters I was talking to on social networks have disappeared. I beg the United Nations to send Assad to International Criminal Court Immediately. I have sent them at least 50 videos of solid evidence on caught on tape, of mass murder, violence, torture, rape, blood pouring down the streets, piles of flesh and limbs laying in the streets, and dead bodies laying everywhere, while men with guns shoot everyone in sight, going into their homes to shoot them while they are sleeping, including mothers holding infants. How could hell be any worse than this?

UK Armed Forces Minister said it was “highly likely” that the ICC, the International Criminal Court would seek the arrest of BASHAR AL-Assad over his role in the violent crackdown on protesters.

But Bashar al Assad is not in total control. Five men call the shots in Syria as we shall see later. The ICC must seek the arrest of the five strong men who control the President and are leading Syria into primeval hell and chaos.

Mubarak to Face Trial in Egypt for Protester Deaths

Mubarak to Face Trial in Egypt for Protester Deaths

Mubarak faces charges that include "pre-meditated murder," which could carry the death penalty. Mubarak is accused of having collaborated with his former interior minister and some police authorities in orchestrating the murder of civilians involved in the peaceful protests that swept through Egypt earlier this year. In addition to his alleged role in the killing of protesters, Mubarak has also been charged with misusing power, deliberately wasting public funds, and unlawfully making private financial gains. Mubarak’s sons, Alaa and Gamal, were also referred to the public court on the same charges.
