Why isn't there more of a highlight on Salameh's actual charges. This is grossly glossed over especially when understanding what you have to do to land oneself in a blacksite to begin with.
- MPetitt 7y ago"It’s for this reason that I didn’t ask Salameh to tell me about his crimes. The harm he caused should not be forgotten, but it must be held apart. Under international law, the right to be free from torture is inalienable and absolute—and that protects all of us."
- afandian 7y agoIt's pretty sinister that your first response is not to address the torture but "he must be guilty of something". The US has done plenty to demonstrate it will do far worse without wrongdoing by the victim.
- dtornabene 7y agoyeah, tell that to the black teenagers dragged to Homan Square in Chicago
- T4NG 7y agowhich would be exactly why I would want to know the charge's
- objectivetruth 7y agoThe charges ARE in the article, AND the author specifically mentioned why she wasn't re-hashing them more than she did. Most of those black teens at Homan Square didn't get an article at all.
- roboys 7y agoSecret prisons for citizens in 2019 Chicago? Shocking to hear about, America is truly lost. What do we do when we hear about citizen torture administered by the state? I expect the news coming out will only get worse from here.
