Kavala to be nominated for Nobel Peace Prize
2019-01-19
Turkish businessman and philanthropist Osman Kavala, who has been behind bars in Turkey since October of 2017, is being nominated for Nobel Peace Prize.

Many academics, human rights defenders are collectively nominating the imprisoned philanthropist for a Nobel Peace Prize.

There is almost no distinction in the arrest campaign when comes to arresting dissenters, opposition in Turkey, with Kavala, who has been leader for many peace initiatives in Turkey, being at the forefront of Ankara’s campaign.

The campaign to nominate the 62-year-old for a 2019 Nobel Peace Prize has begun.

Osman Kavala has dedicated his life to building cultural and social bridges between different segments of society.

Kavala is known as a peace figure for his works in the reconciliation efforts between Armenians and Turks, Kurds and Turks, among many other initiatives

US Stalling Release Of Thousands Of Torture Photos Worse Than Abu Ghraib

The ACLU believes one photo depicts “the body of Muhamad Husain Kadir, an Iraqi farmer, shot dead at point-blank range by an American soldier while handcuffed.”

WASHINGTON — Next month, the U.S. government will return to court again to prevent the release of thousands of photos of military personnel torturing detainees at Abu Ghraib and other sites in Iraq and Afghanistan that have been described as more horrific than the infamous Abu Ghraib torture photos.

It’s the latest round in a protracted legal battle that began in 2004 when the American Civil Liberties Union filed a suit demanding the release of some 2,000 photographs which were withheld by the government after it released the infamous images of Abu Ghraib, the Iraqi prison where U.S. soldiers tortured prisoners.

One photo is said to depict a mock execution, while another reportedly shows the body of a farmer shot who was by an American soldier while he was handcuffed.

The U.S. government has repeatedly argued that the images, which are believed to depict torture at Abu Ghraib and elsewhere in Iraq and Afghanistan at the hands of American soldiers, were so severely disturbing that their release would make U.S. forces vulnerable to retaliatory attack. In April, Eliza Relman, a legal assistant to the ACLU’s National Security Project, rejected this argument:

“To allow the government to suppress evidence of abuse is to invite a recurrence of that abuse in the future.”

The Bush and Obama administrations have both used a series of legal stratagems to block the photos’ release, including the Protected National Security Documents Act (PNSDA), a 2009 law that allows the secretary of defense to conceal any image for up to three years. Former Defense Secretary Robert Gates invoked the statute in 2009 to conceal all 2,000 images, and his successor, Leon Panetta, renewed the ban in 2012.

In March, Judge Alvin K. Hellerstein, a federal judge from the U.S. District Court in Manhattan ordered the release of all 2,000 images, giving the government 60 days to release the photos or file an appeal.

Faced with the prospect of further delays, the ACLU compiled a spreadsheet of everything it knows about the photographs. Relman highlighted a few of the horrors believed to be contained in the collection:

“One photo shows an Iraqi teenager bound and standing in the headlights of a truck immediately after his mock execution, staged by U.S. soldiers. Another shows a group of soldiers forcing a detainee to look at pictures of lingerie-clad women. Another depicts the body of Muhamad Husain Kadir, an Iraqi farmer, shot dead at point-blank range by an American soldier while handcuffed.”

The government filed an appeal on June 9, and oral arguments are scheduled to begin on Jan. 15 at the U.S. 2nd Circuit Court of Appeals in New York. In the appeal, the government argued that the PNSDA allows the secretary of defense to overrule Freedom of Information Act requests and even court orders like those issued by Judge Hellerstein. In the ACLU’s Aug. 6 response, they argue that this represents a drastically overbroad interpretation of the law:

“This Court should now reject DOD’s extreme argument, which fundamentally misunderstands the role of the judiciary in FOIA cases. While the PNSDA allows DOD to withhold certain photographs under Exemption 3 to FOIA, it nowhere seeks to eliminate, limit or even alter the power of Courts to exercise the power of judicial review that is explicit in FOIA.”

Jameel Jaffer, the deputy legal director at the ACLU and the director of the ACLU’s Center for Democracy, concurred in a January editorial, arguing that the government cannot be allowed to use terrorism as an excuse to hide unethical and illegal behavior:

“To accept the argument, at least in the absence of a specific, credible threat directed against specific people, is to give the government far-reaching power to suppress evidence of its own misconduct. And the worse the misconduct, the stronger would be the government’s argument for suppression.”

Can we refrain from using whataboutism?

So kidnapping thousands of innocent Muslims and forcing them to listen to a song called "F*ck Your God", is acceptable to the Nobel Peace Prize committee because no Muslims being detained by nazis Amerikans were nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize.

The Nobel Peace Prize should close up shop, they became a disgrace in nominating Obama.

What's the point here?

Btw, Obama administration bombs in Afghanistan, Iraq, Syria, Libya, Yemen, Pakistan and Sudan. Seven and not three countries...btw all of topic.

Aung San Suu Kyi won the prize too.

Let look at the Muslims the Nobel committee likes:

Sadat - sell out to the zionists
Arafat - sell out to the zionists.
Shirin Ebadi - sell out to the zionists
Mohamed El Baradei - sell out to the zionists
Tawakel Karman - sell out to the zionists
Malala Yousafzai (Muslim women are oppressed, feminism now!) - sell out to the zionists

Now this Kavala - a sell out to the zionists
 
. . . .
Isn't Kavala linked to Soros?

Open Society Foundations is a terrorist organization, ask Russia and the Ukraine.

Erdogan is holding a terrorist, a enemy agent trying to overthrow democracies Soros does not like.

Can a Russian agent do that in Amerika? Can a Russian NGO try to overthrow trump? Maybe Russia should look into this, since the West is fine with fifth column NGOs trying to stage a worldwide revolution against democracies Netanyahu and Soros do not like.

As much as I don't like our government, whoever advised Erdogan to arrest this scum gets my respect. All these people do is cause instability

An election campaing ad. of an opposition party has allegedly been ''banned'' by the ruling party.

The ad. is about a guy who illegally charged money and demanded from people who used a public bridge built by the state in 1950s, which actually implies the situation of some bridges today.

Başı açık hemşirelerin hastalarına müdahale etmemesi gerektiğini söyleyip, bu yüzden meleklerin içeri girememesinden sorumlu olarak başı açık olan kişileri sorumlu tutmuşlardır. Entübe olan hastaya zorla zemzem suyu içirmeye çalışıp hastanın aspire etmesine sebep oldular.
