Kevin Barrett

Listen HERE Human rights activist El-Hajj Mauri’ Salakhan of Aafia.org discusses the “Free Aafia” demonstrations he’s helping organize, scheduled for Sunday, Oct. 23, near where Aafia Siddiqui is being held at the Federal Medical Center, Carswell, in Dallas-Ft. Worth, Texas. As I wrote in the posting for last month’s interview with Gordon Duff: Dr. Aafia Siddiqui was the victim of what Ramsey Clark called “the worst case of individual injustice I have ever witnessed.” A brilliant neuroscientist (MIT-Brandeis) and leading Islamic activist, Dr. Aafia Siddiqui was crucified by the 9/11 perp neocons not because of anything she did, but purely to…

The motion was proposed by several western countries. The Dutch ambassador expressed his disappointment, saying the Council effectively cut the lifeline of the Yemeni people to the international community. Earlier this week, several rights advocacy groups revealed that Saudi Arabia had been heavily lobbying against the resolution that would extend…

Kevin Barrett

Press TV interview with Kevin Barrett, Veterans Today Editor The Saudis just murdered Mustafa Hashem al-Darwish, who committed the “crime” of protesting when he was a teenager. Western human rights groups may protest, but Western governments will never move against the Saudis. Why not?

Kevin Barrett

Press TV interview with Kevin Barrett, Veterans Today Editor BS is so narcissistic he orders the kidnapping, torture, and murder of people who aren’t even serious dissidents, much less an actionable threat.

Kevin Barrett

Press TV interview with Kevin Barrett, Veterans Today Editor A UN-led probe into Jamal Khashoggi’s murder has concluded that the Saudi dissident was the victim of a “brutal and premeditated killing” planned and perpetrated by the kingdom’s officials.

Callamard noted that they had access only to a part of “chilling and gruesome audio material” of the dissident journalist’s death, obtained by the Turkish intelligence agency. Elsewhere in…
