Posted by j1o2n3a4s5 from Kpho

Good thing the ACLU, AZ govonor, Phoenix Mayor, Mesa Police Chief and other rights groups are getting involved. Sheriff Joe is also a human rights violator by his degrading treatment of prionsers in 120 degree heat in tents as well as making prisoners wear pink underwear and running a racket on the consessions at prisons full of asbestos that are unsafe for humans beings.

Top Bush aides directed torture from the White House
Posted by Sandyenglish
Speaking to the WSWS, Francis Boyle, a professor of international law and human rights at the University of Illinois, said, "Clearly this was criminal activity at the time they committed it.
