LA POLICÍA NO ME CUIDA

El primero de diciembre de este año Amnistía Internacional dio a conocer un informe llamado “La policía no me cuida”, que se ocupa de las atrocidades cometidas por las fuerzas estatales como parte del indignante y desastroso manejo que le dieran al paro nacional de 2021.

Aquí una entrevista que Santiago Rivas hace a la abogada Érika Guevara Rosas, Directora para las Américas de Amnistía Internacional, quien se expresa con la seguridad y claridad de quien conoce muy bien el tema del que habla, por lo cual resulta muy ameno escucharla, si bien los temas expuestos son terribles.

De cuando en cuando llegan noticias acerca de cómo a Iván Duque (ese personaje que con patética carisma —y, claro está, apoyo de poderes políticos tradicionales que son como quistes en las sociedades colombianas— engatusó a buena parte del país para encaramarse en un puesto que jamás debió ostentar) se le llena la boca alabándose a sí mismo y asegurando que, de haber podido presentarse a elecciones presidenciales, las habría ganado nuevamente; mientras tanto, de ese supuesto gran líder, Érika Guevara señala: “Por otro lado, lo que nosotros documentamos durante el paro nacional, con el gobierno del entonces presidente Duque, es que, efectivamente, el presidente le declaró la guerra a su población. Con la incapacidad de dialogar con una ciudadanía que reclamaba derechos en las calles y rendición de cuentas, utilizó la fuerza violenta. Permitió no solo un uso excesivo de la fuerza sino un uso de la fuerza letal, salieron a dispararle a la gente, salieron a matar. Es por eso que, por ejemplo, cuando documentamos el caso de las lesiones oculares, quedaba muy claro el patrón de ataque generalizado”.

La Dra. Guevara también nos recuerda que “en América Latina [nuestras sociedades] siguen siendo sociedades machistas en donde imponen un rol específico a mujeres, a persona LGTBI, y cuando esas personas, esas mujeres y esas personas LGTBI, rompen esa norma, es decir, salen a protestar, salen a ejercer derechos, pues son castigadas. [...] los casos que documentamos no se trataba de, como le dicen, “manzanas podridas”, se trataba de un operativo que tenía la intencionalidad de castigar a las personas que protestaban. Hubo mujeres que fueron violadas por más de seis oficiales de la policía del ESMAD en el mismo momento. Eso te habla de la intencionalidad de castigo. Y eso te habla de cómo un gobierno le declaró la guerra a su población”.

En la entrevista también se tocan temas como el miedo de las víctimas a denunciar en un país donde, en el papel, la justicia parece ideal, pero en la práctica se asemeja más a una inequidad rampante, así como también se habla de la revictimización que pueden llegar a sufrir las mujeres que tienen el valor de señalar a personas del Estado como perpetradores de crímenes. (Y no deja de ser curioso que la Dra. Guevara, tras experiencias en Haití y Venezuela, señale sorprendida el miedo de las víctimas a llevar a cabo denuncias en el país del Sagrado Corazón.)

More big news today.

The International Court of Justice has declared Israel's occupation of Palestine unlawful, and that Israel is responsible for apartheid.

I assume, similar to the genocide ruling, not much will be done about this. But it is another damning arrow in the quiver of people arguing in favor of Palestinians.

"Erika Guevara Rosas, Amnesty International’s Senior Director for Research, Advocacy, Policy and Campaigns, said:

“The International Court of Justice has issued its opinion and the conclusion is loud and clear: Israel’s occupation and annexation of the Palestinian territories are unlawful, and its discriminatory laws and policies against Palestinians violate the prohibition on racial segregation and apartheid.

“This is a historic vindication of the rights of Palestinians who have endured decades of cruelty and systematic human rights violations stemming from Israel’s unlawful occupation.""

Israel/OPT: Global Day of Action to demand states #StopSendingArms fuelling violations of international law

On 2 May a joint NGO Global Day of Action is mobilizing a global coalition of human rights and humanitarian organizations, arms experts, activists, journalists, academics, legal professionals, and students to call on all states to stop the transfer of weapons, parts and ammunitions being used to fuel violations of international law in the occupied Gaza Strip.

Amnesty International has a longstanding call for a comprehensive arms embargo on Israel, Hamas and other armed groups participating in the war in Gaza.

“The Global Day of Action must serve as a wake-up call to states that continue to supply arms to all parties to the conflict in Gaza that they are at risk of being complicit in war crimes and other violations of international law,” said Erika Guevara Rosas, Senior Director for Research, Advocacy, Policy and Campaigns at Amnesty International.

Israeli forces have carried out unlawful attacks in Gaza, including indiscriminate attacks, contributing to a staggering loss of human life and extensive destruction and damage to civilian infrastructure. Amnesty International’s research has documented the use of US- supplied weapons by Israel to carry out unlawful air strikes that caused mass civilian casualties.

“Following the conclusion by the International Court of Justice that there is a plausible risk of genocide in Gaza and in light of the obligation under international law of all states to prevent genocide, governments that continue to supply arms to Israel may find themselves in breach of the Genocide Convention,” said Erika Guevara Rosas

Rafah is “Gaza’s southernmost governorate” - and in continuation of the disturbing trend of the Israeli govt. and military telling civilians in Gaza to move south only to bomb supposed “safe zones” (PBS) - four strikes already occurred in Rafah by Feb. 12, 2024 (Amnesty International).

“Entire families were wiped out in Israeli attacks even after they sought refuge in areas promoted as safe and with no prior warning from Israeli authorities. These attacks illustrate an ongoing pattern of Israeli forces brazenly flouting international law, contradicting claims by Israeli authorities that their forces are taking heightened precautions to minimize harm to civilians,” said Erika Guevara-Rosas, Amnesty International’s Senior Director of Research, Advocacy, Policy and Campaigns.

There is a reason that the ICJ ruled it “plausible” that Israel is committing genocide in Gaza - as inadequate as that ruling is without demands for a ceasefire (NPR). That reason is being illustrated awful detail right now in Rafah, not to mention the starvation conditions in Gaza (the Associated Press) generated not just by the bombing but by the Israeli government creating obstacles to the distribution of aid (CNBC).

I cannot stress enough the imperative to demand a ceasefire, with the understanding that a ceasefire can only be the beginning. Keep pressuring your governments, keep boycotting, and keep advocating for justice everywhere.

Brazil: Authorities must immediately cease and investigate highly lethal police operations

The Brazilian authorities must immediately stop the lethal police operations in which 45 people have been killed in the last few days in the states of Bahia, Rio de Janeiro and São Paulo, Amnesty International said today.

“These highly lethal operations are further evidence of the Brazilian state’s systemic inability to put an end to unlawful killings and other serious human rights violations committed in the context of police work. The nation’s governors and police chiefs need to reshape their security policies to ensure that the use of force is compatible with guaranteeing human rights, starting with the right to life, protection from injury and personal safety,” said Erika Guevara-Rosas, Americas director at Amnesty International.

In the state of Bahia, police operations carried out in the cities of Salvador, Itatim and Camaçari between 28 July and 1 August resulted in the deaths of 19 people. In Rio de Janeiro state, a police operation launched on 2 August left 10 people dead and four injured in Vila Cruzeiro, a neighbourhood associated with one of the deadliest operations in the state that left 25 people dead in May 2022.  

“These highly lethal operations are further evidence of the Brazilian state’s systemic inability to put an end to unlawful killings and other serious human rights violations committed in the context of police work," says Erika Guevara-Rosas, Americas director at Amnesty International.

The straightforward demand consistently made by human rights experts, a top European Union official, and college students across the U.S. and in a growing number of countries formed the basis for a Global Day of Action on Thursday, with 250 groups organizing direct actions to call on governments around the world to "Stop Sending Arms" to Israel.

Groups including Amnesty International, the Norwegian Refugee Council, and the Center for Jewish Nonviolence helped organize actions in at least 12 countries, "with a strategic emphasis on countries with significant arms exports" and an "aim to resonate globally."

Protest events including rallies, "die-ins," and the projection of messages and images on government buildings were organized in countries including the United States—the top supplier of arms to the Israel Defense Forces (IDF)—Canada, Germany, Australia, South Korea, and Slovakia.

"The Global Day of Action must serve as a wake-up call to states that continue to supply arms to all parties to the conflict in Gaza that they are at risk of being complicit in war crimes and other violations of international law," said Erika Guevara Rosas, senior director for research, advocacy, policy, and campaigns at Amnesty International.

The groups and their supporters amplified the global campaign on social media using the hashtags #StopSendingArms and #CeasefireNOW.

Amnesty International’s research also found that Israeli forces obstructed medical assistance to people with life-threatening wounds and attacked those attempting to assist injured Palestinians, including paramedics. Over the past few months Israel has stepped up deadly raids across the West Bank and tensions have skyrocketed. In one recent incident Israeli forces carried out a raid masquerading as medical staff. At least 507 Palestinians were killed in the West Bank in 2023, including at least 81 children, making it the deadliest year for Palestinians since the United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) began recording casualties in 2005. “Under the cover of the relentless bombardment and atrocity crimes in Gaza, Israeli forces have unleashed unlawful lethal force against Palestinians in the occupied West Bank, carrying out unlawful killings and displaying a chilling disregard for Palestinian lives. These unlawful killings are in blatant violation of international human rights law and are committed with impunity in the context of maintaining Israel’s institutionalized regime of systematic oppression and domination over Palestinians,” said Erika Guevara-Rosas, Amnesty International’s Director of Global Research, Advocacy and Policy.

Spike in Israeli lethal force against Palestinians in Occupied West Bank

Israel’s ‘chilling disregard’ for life in occupied West Bank: Amnesty

Israel has unleashed unlawful lethal force against Palestinians in the occupied West Bank, carrying out unlawful killings and displaying “a chilling disregard for Palestinian lives”, Amnesty International says.

The human rights organisation said in a report released on Monday that Israel’s actions in the territory have intensified during its war on Gaza and its military and other bodies are committing numerous illegal acts of violence that amount to clear violations of international law.

The world’s eyes are mostly on the Gaza Strip, where the Israeli military has killed more than 27,000 Palestinians, mostly women and children, since the start of the war on October 7. But Israeli forces are also carrying out unlawful killings in occupied Palestinian territories, Amnesty said in the report.

The document was compiled with remote interviews with witnesses, first responders and local residents as well as verified videos and photos.

“Under the cover of the relentless bombardment and atrocity crimes in Gaza, Israeli forces have unleashed unlawful lethal force against Palestinians in the occupied West Bank, carrying out unlawful killings and displaying a chilling disregard for Palestinian lives,” said Erika Guevara-Rosas, Amnesty International’s director of global research, advocacy and policy.

“These unlawful killings are in blatant violation of international human rights law and are committed with impunity in the context of maintaining Israel’s institutionalized regime of systematic oppression and domination over Palestinians.”

Palestinians in the West Bank were already experiencing deadly Israeli raids on a regular basis even before the war, but there has been an explosive increase in the number of Israeli attacks since October.

According to figures by the United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA), Israel killed at least 507 Palestinians in the occupied West Bank in 2023, including at least 81 children, making it the deadliest year since the organisation started recording casualties in 2005.

UN numbers also show that 299 Palestinians were killed from the start of the war until the end of 2023, a 50 percent increase compared with the first nine months of the year. At least 61 more Palestinians, including 13 children, were killed by Israeli forces in January, the UN said.

Amnesty International’s analysis of a 30-hour-long Israeli raid on the Nour Shams refugee camp in Tulkarem that took place on October 19 demonstrates the tactics employed by the Israeli military.

In that raid, Israeli soldiers used a large number of military vehicles and soldiers to storm more than 40 homes. They destroyed personal belongings, drilled holes in walls for sniper outposts, cut off water and electricity to the refugee camp, and used bulldozers to destroy public roads, electricity networks and water infrastructure.

By the end of the raid, they had killed 13 Palestinians, including six children, four of them under the age of 16, and had arrested 15 Palestinians.

One Israeli border police officer was killed after an improvised explosive device was used against a military convoy.

Among those killed during the raid was an unarmed 15-year-old named Taha Mahamid, whom Israeli forces shot dead in front of his house as he came out to check whether Israeli forces had left the area, Amnesty said.

“They did not give him a chance,” said Fatima, Taha’s sister. “In an instant, my brother was eliminated. Three bullets were fired without any mercy. The first bullet hit him in the leg. The second in his stomach. Third in his eye. There were no confrontations. … There was no conflict.”

Taha’s father, Ibrahim, tried to carry his son to safety while unarmed but was shot and suffered serious internal injuries.

“This unnecessary use of lethal force should be investigated as possible war crimes of wilful killing and wilfully causing great suffering or serious injury to body or health,” Amnesty said.

But that was not the end of the Israeli operation for the family. About 12 hours after Taha’s killing, the Israeli military stormed his family’s home and locked his family members, including three children, in a room under the supervision of a soldier for about 10 hours.

They also drilled holes in the walls of two rooms to position snipers overlooking the neighbourhood. One witness said the soldiers searched the house, beating a member of the family, and one was seen urinating on the doorstep.

The extensive damage done by Israeli bulldozers to the narrow streets of the refugee camp meant that ambulances could not get through, hampering medical evacuation of the injured.

Amnesty also documented instances in which Israeli forces directly opened fire on ambulances and medical staff.

The obstruction of medical assistance to Palestinians by Israeli forces is now “routine practice”, the human rights organisation said.

It documented one instance in which Israeli soldiers prevented ambulances from reaching victims who ended up bleeding to death.

“The victims were later collected by an Israeli military ambulance, and their bodies have yet to be returned to their families,” Amnesty said.

The organisation also documented how the Israeli military cracks down on peaceful Palestinian protests held in solidarity with the people of Gaza, firing live bullets and tear gas canisters into crowds.

Fresh evidence of deadly unlawful attacks in the occupied Gaza Strip, gathered by Amnesty International, demonstrates how Israeli forces continue to flout international humanitarian law, obliterating entire families with total impunity.

The organization carried out an investigation into four Israeli strikes, three in December 2023, after the humanitarian pause ended, and one in January 2024, that killed at least 95 civilians, including 42 children, in Rafah, Gaza’s southernmost governorate and at a time when it was supposedly the “safest” area in the strip, but where Israeli forces are currently gearing up for a ground operation. Such an operation will likely have devastating consequences for more than a million people who are crammed within an area of 63 square kilometers following successive waves of mass displacement.

In all four attacks, the organization did not find any indication that the residential buildings hit could be considered legitimate military objectives or that people in the buildings were military targets, raising concerns that these strikes were direct attacks on civilians and civilian objects and must therefore be investigated as war crimes.

Even if Israeli forces had intended to target legitimate military objectives in the vicinity, these attacks evidently failed to distinguish between military objectives and civilian objects and would therefore be indiscriminate. Indiscriminate attacks that kill and injure civilians are war crimes. The evidence collected by Amnesty International also indicates the Israeli military failed to provide effective, or indeed any, warning – at minimum to anyone living in the locations that were hit – before launching the attacks.

“Entire families were wiped out in Israeli attacks even after they sought refuge in areas promoted as safe and with no prior warning from Israeli authorities. These attacks illustrate an ongoing pattern of Israeli forces brazenly flouting international law, contradicting claims by Israeli authorities that their forces are taking heightened precautions to minimize harm to civilians,” said Erika Guevara-Rosas, Amnesty International’s Senior Director of Research, Advocacy, Policy and Campaigns.

SAN SALVADOR - Une nouvelle loi autorisant jusqu'à 900 membres présumés de gangs à être jugés à la fois au Salvador, où des dizaines de milliers ont été arrêtés lors d'une répression, a alarmé les experts de la justice et les groupes de défense des droits qui craignent qu'il ne s'agisse d'une réélection stratagème du président Nayib Bukele. Près de 72 000 personnes accusées d'appartenir à des gangs criminels sont emprisonnées au Salvador dans le cadre d'un état d'urgence qui permet des arrestations sans mandat dans ce que des groupes de défense des droits ont qualifié de "détention arbitraire". M. Bukele a également construit une méga prison - qui, selon lui, est la plus grande des Amériques - pour enfermer 40 000 gangsters présumés dans des conditions difficiles également décriées par les organisations de défense des droits de l'homme. Désormais, les procès collectifs violeront davantage "les droits à une défense adéquate, à un procès équitable et à la présomption d'innocence", a déclaré à l'AFP Erika Guevara Rosas, directrice d'Amnesty International Amériques. La mesure a été approuvée mercredi par un Congrès favorable à Bukele dans le cadre de l'état d'urgence en vigueur depuis mars 2022, qui, selon les critiques, a vu des innocents pris dans le filet. "Nous avons vu comment les réformes juridiques associées à cette mesure répressive (l'état d'urgence) ont cherché à éroder les garanties fondamentales de la procédure pénale", a déclaré Mme Guevara Rosas. 'Inconstitutionnel' M. Antonio Duran, un juge de la ville de Zacatecoluca qui critique l'état d'urgence, a déclaré que l'objectif principal des procès de masse - pour lesquels aucune date de début n'a été fixée - semblait être "des peines lourdes et rapides". "Les procès de masse contredisent (...) le principe (juridique) de la responsabilité individuelle", a-t-il déclaré à l'AFP, ajoutant que la mesure bafouait les "normes internationales" de la justice. « Tout cela fait partie de la campagne de réélection de Bukele, qui est inconstitutionnelle », a déclaré le juge. M. Bukele, avec le feu vert controversé de la Cour constitutionnelle, a annoncé qu'il se présenterait aux élections de 2024 malgré l'interdiction constitutionnelle de mandats présidentiels successifs. Le président, 42 ans, bénéficie d'un soutien public massif en raison de sa "guerre" contre les gangs, qui a considérablement amélioré la sécurité des citoyens ordinaires de ce pays d'Amérique centrale. "Le plus important est le bénéfice pour la population et c'est pourquoi les mesures sont prises et pourquoi les gens les soutiennent", a déclaré à l'AFP le sociologue René Martinez de l'Université d'El Salvador.
