Liberal regimes have standards for the treatment of prisoners. These standards are codified under the #GenevaConventions, which the #UnitedStates has signed & ratified.

Among the standards dictated by the Geneva Conventions is this: Prisoners may not be publicly exploited for purposes of #propaganda.

The use of #prisoners for #propaganda is as old as war itself. But there are a few recent examples you may recall. ISIS made extensive use of videos & pictures of imprisonment & execution. The Viet Cong & North Vietnamese alternated their approach. Sometimes they used American POWs as props to suggest that all was well in their camps & prisoners were being treated properly. (They were not.) Other times, they used images of American prisoners as tools to spread #fear.…

#Berlin, #Germany: Intervention with hammers against #war – strength to Marianna & Dimitra
https://kontrapolis.info/15289/
FERCHAU is a service company for IT-Engineering and it offers technical solutions to Bundeswehr (German Armed Forces) and other military defence industries in Europe. FERCHAU claim, that they are „Connecting People and Technologies for the Next Level“. They in fact develop products and systems for the machine of war, like „Legacy Transformation, Cyber-Security, Model Based Systems Engineering, Extended Reality and Data Analytics“. They do recruitment events with Bundeswehr to hire specialists for the drone war and they send specialists to maintain the Eurofighter Squadrons of #NATO Air Force.

We sprayed WAR STARTS HERE on the wall of their office building and we broke the entrance area, glass doors, windows with hammers.

This small action is not much more than an intervention in the routine of a society waging war.

#Prisoners are still self-immolating at #RedOnionState #Prison, and prison officials are cutting off #communication with the outside #world while engaging in more brutality against Black prisoners. Prison #Radio is now unable to reach #KevinRashidJohnson. Listen to Kevin’s most recent and very chilling description of conditions at #RedOnion.

San Quentin 1981-83

In the minimum security block of the prison inmates were allowed to decorate their cells w/ items from home, but when a new warden took over the prison these cells were stripped bare. Later, some of Ruth Morgan's photos were used in court to help improve conditions at the prison

An increasing number of those #children have not been charged with any crime, and are held under administrative detention orders.

Administrative detainees, held without charge or trial, now represent more than a third of #Palestinian child #prisoners.

Today in Labor History March 5, 1940: Six high-ranking members of the Soviet politburo, including Joseph Stalin, signed an order for the execution of 25,700 Polish intelligentsia, cops and military officers. 14,700 of them were prisoners of war. This extrajudicial mass execution was known as the Katyn massacre. Afterwards, the Soviets tried to cover their tracks by blaming the Nazis for the massacre. They continued to deny responsibility until 1990, when the government finally acknowledged and condemned the killings and cover-up.
