Main headlines

– Army brigades 117 and 127 attack fiercely the citizens in Bajil and Hajjah

– In a measure similar to selling the oil block 53, the government hands over container platforms to a foreign firm

– The security changes kidnapping to disappearance, Taiz women denounce maltreatment of kidnapped girls' families

Columnist Ahmed Saeed says unlike the justifications the extremist right in the White House is marketing concerning treatment of detainees in Gantanamo, the report of the United nations last week came demanding closure of the detention camp because of its violation of a group human rights, such as torture, arbitrary retention and having a just trial.

The report which its announcement coincided with scandals of pictures of torture and violations by the occupation forces in Iraq prisons, has torpedoed all slogans of human rights and freedom the American Bush administration is bragging of. The American arrogance maintained its refusal of closing down detention camps and non-recognition of the rights stipulated in the international charter on political and civil rights although it is one of the signatory countries.

All indications, whether in Iraq, Afghanistan or Gantanamo Bay confirm that the American administration is maintaining its practices of revenge against the prisoners and the peoples who refuse its policies, heedless of any criticism or demand to stop its crimes against humanity.
