Emrah Erken criticized the UN Human Rights Council and Navi Pillay. He wrote that the body had condemned Israel for human rights violations a total of 116 times since its founding in 2006, while China, Turkey, and Qatar had not been condemned even once. The United Nations, he claimed, had turned human rights into a weapon against the West, particularly Israel. Pillay served as UN High Commissioner for Human Rights from 2008 to 2014. During this time, the Human Rights Council never condemned China, Erken wrote. UN Watch and former UN employee Emma Reilly accused Pillay of having passed the names of more than 50 dissidents, including Uighurs, to China under her leadership. Additionally, Pillay stayed away from the Nobel Prize ceremony in 2010 in honor of the imprisoned Chinese dissident Liu Xiaobo. Erken further wrote that Pillay later led a UN commission of inquiry that accused Israel of genocide and previously signed calls for sanctions against Israel. In 2012, she criticized the satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo for its Muhammad cartoons, describing the drawings as malicious and intentionally provocative. Critics also accused her of opting for appeasement and restrictions on freedom of expression rather than defending it in the debate over Muhammad cartoons. Erken called it a shame that Pillay would receive this year's Nobel Peace Prize, and expressed opposition to post-colonialism, the "Woke Left," and Pillay. #Menschenrechte #UN #Israel (translated)

LilitThyra wrote that a Swedish police officer had been privately in Copenhagen and tried to settle a dispute. During this, a man hit him on the head or neck. An artery was torn; the officer died despite an emergency operation. The Copenhagen City Court convicted the man, according to LilitThyra, of simple assault, not of dangerous bodily harm or homicide. It imposed a one-year prison sentence as well as a one-year ban on entering bars, clubs, and similar establishments after midnight. The perpetrator had come to Denmark as a toddler from the Democratic Republic of the Congo and is now a Danish citizen. Furthermore, he had multiple prior convictions for rape, bodily injury, and attempted murder. #Dänemark #Justiz #Kriminalität (translated)

I find the approach of the Berlin Left very questionable. They are trying to overwhelm CDU politicians with lawsuits in order to suppress critical discussions about radical excesses within their own ranks.

Nasruddin Amer reported that the Yemeni Foreign Ministry has accused Saudi Arabia of responsibility for the escalation in Bab al-Mandab. The ministry called on the international community to put pressure on Riyadh to fulfill its obligations to the Yemeni people, including lifting the blockade and ending the aggression, instead of igniting a war in the strait. According to the statement, Saudi Arabia has turned Bab al-Mandab into a battlefield, thereby jeopardizing shipping. The ministry accused the international community of responding with loud criticism to the expansion of Yemeni sovereignty along the west coast and in Bab al-Mandab, while ignoring Saudi activities there. These, according to the ministry, serve the interests of the USA and Israel. The ministry also stated that Yemen is adhering to its international obligations regarding maritime safety. The exercise of Yemeni sovereignty over its territory, coastlines, and territorial waters does not pose a threat to global trade but will make it safer. This statement was made after the ministry claimed to have pushed back Saudi troop deployments on the west coast. #Jemen #BabAlMandab #Schifffahrt (translated)
