Thorold, Ontario Amputee Has His Artificial Leg Ripped Off By Police And Is Slammed In Makeshift Cell During G20 Summit – At Least One Ontario MPP Calls The Whole Episode “Shocking”

John Pruyn wasn’t much in the mood for celebrating Canada Day this year. John and Susan Pruyn at home and away form the G20 summit in Thorold, Ontario. Photo by Doug Draper   How could he be after the way he was treated a few days earlier in Toronto by figures of authority most of us were brought up to respect, our publicly paid-for police forces who are supposed to be there to serve and protect peaceful, law-abiding citizens like him. The 57-year-old Thorold, Ontario resident – an employee with Revenue Canada and a part-time farmer who lost a leg above his knee following a farming accident 17 years ago – was sitting on the grass at Queen’s Park with his daughter Sarah and two other young people this June 26, during the G20 summit, where he assumed it would be safe. As it turned out, it was a bad assumption because in came a line of armoured police, into  an area the city had promised would be safe for peaceful demonstrations during the summit.. » read more

Khadr Routinely Trussed Up in Cage, Hearng Told

We could do basically anything to scare the prisoners,' retired soldier testifies Omar Khadr, then a gravely wounded 15-year-old, was routinely trussed up in a cage “in one of the worst places on Earth,” according to a hulking former military interrogator nicknamed Monster who says he felt sorry for the Canadian and brought him books and treats. Former specialist Damien Corsetti was testifying via video link to a pretrial hearing in the war-crimes trial of Mr. Khadr, now 23, on charges of terrorism and murder in the killing of a U.S. Special Forces soldier during a firefight in eastern Afghanistan in July of 2002.. » read more

Is Murder the New Torture?

I've been reading about the history of torture, including John T. Parry's new book "Understanding Torture: Law, Violence, and Political Identity." Parry gives a history of torture in Europe and the United States through the twentieth century, establishing its pervasiveness, and the repetitiveness of the excuses and legalistic machinations used to allow it. Parry sees torture as an absolutely normal activity in our society, but an activity that at least until now was always treated as an aberration, no matter how systemic. Parry even tries to suggest at times that torture is required, necessary, or "essential" for western democracies.. » read more

Pope must answer for crimes against humanity

No legal immunity - the Vatican should feel the full weight of international law. WELL may the Pope defy ''the petty gossip of dominant opinion''. But the Holy See can no longer ignore international law, which now counts the widespread or systematic sexual abuse of children as a crime against humanity. The anomalous claim of the Vatican to be a state - and of the Pope to be a head of state and hence immune from legal action - cannot stand up to scrutiny. The shocking finding of Judge Murphy's commission in Ireland was not merely that sexual abuse was ''endemic'' in boys' institutions but that the church hierarchy protected the perpetrators and allowed them to take up new positions teaching other children after their victims had been sworn to secrecy.. » read more

Italian church to stop cover-up

Rome - Italy's Roman Catholic Church said on Tuesday it would help to bring paedophile priests to justice after the country's bishops ruled that it was right to do so under Canon law. The Italian conference of bishops stressed their concern for the victims of sexual abuse and their families as they met in Rome to address the widening scandal embroiling the Church in Europe and the United States. "The key to searching for the truth is to enforce the procedures and penal rules of Canon law with rigour and transparency," the episcopal conference said in a statement after the talks. But the bishops also decided the rules of the Church Canon "are not in contradiction to - and indeed converge with - honest collaboration with the state authorities charged with establishing the truth." The Roman Catholic Church has been thrown into crisis in recent weeks as dozens of people came forward alleging they were abused as minors by priests.. » read more

Your request is being processed... Catholic Church Child Abuse Claims Sweep Across Europe

DUBLIN — It often starts as a voice in the wilderness, but can swell into an entire nation's demand for truth. From Ireland to Germany, Europe's many victims of child abuse in the Roman Catholic church are finally breaking social taboos and confronting the clergy to face its demons. Ireland was the first in Europe to confront the church's worldwide custom of shielding pedophile priests from the law and public scandal. Now that legacy of suppressed childhood horror is being confronted in other parts of the Continent – nowhere more poignantly than in Germany, the homeland of Pope Benedict XVI. The recent spread of claims into the Netherlands, Austria and Italy has analysts and churchmen wondering how deep the scandal runs, which nation will be affected next, and whether a tide of lawsuits will force European dioceses to declare bankruptcy like their American cousins.. » read more
