CrimeCourt Sentences Ex-soldier To Over 5,000 Years In Prison by toaterry(op): 11:45am On Nov 23, 2018
A Guatemalan court has sentenced a former soldier to 5,160 years in prison for a massacre during one of the worst atrocities of the Central American nation’s civil war.
The court on Wednesday sentenced Santos Lopez to 30 years for each of the killings, or 5,130 years in total.
He received an additional 30 years linked to the killing of a surviving child, but the sentences are symbolic because Guatemala’s maximum prison term is 50 years.
Lopez was a member of a US-trained counterinsurgency force called Kaibil. He was arrested in the US and deported in 2016.
According to the investigation, Lopez belonged to a patrol that committed the massacre in December 1982 in Dos Erres, on the border with Mexico.
The soldiers were trying to recover about 20 rifles stolen by rebels during an earlier ambush which left 19 soldiers dead.
‘Finding Oscar’
The story of Dos Erres was told in the 2017 documentary “Finding Oscar”, executive-produced by Steven Spielberg, which recounts the search for another boy whose life was spared and who was then raised by one of the soldiers.
A handful of other “Kaibiles” have been convicted, each receiving a sentence of more than 6,000 years in prison.
Three others accused in the slaughter were jailed in the US for immigration violations. Several others are believed to reside in the US.
The massacre occurred during the rule of Efrain Rios Montt, who himself was indicted on charges of genocide and died last April.
Rios Montt allegedly ordered the murders of 1,771 indigenous Ixil-Maya people during his short reign in 1982-83, which came at the height of the 36-year civil war.
According to the UN, about 200,000 people died or were made to disappear during Guatemala’s war, which ended in 1996.

An ecstatic and euphoric greetings to you all in the name of ALUTA.


As it has rightly been said that "effecting a positive change doesn't take a century, neither would it take a life time" the students' union government, having considered how much the university management has oppressed, hoodwink and deny the students it represents of their rights, has finally agreed amongst itself to go on a peaceful protest today 30th of July 2018.


The union government finally came to this conclusion yesterday 29th of July 2018 in a close door meeting held with the principal officials of its legislature and the faculty presidents.

The proposed peaceful protest would be staged in a desire to achieve the following things:

1 the school road fixed within a stipulated time that would be communicated.
2: the results of the formal sessions be released.
3: our WiFi be restored.

It will also interest you to know that 2 students from ikole and Oye campuses respectively were bitten by snake this semester owning to the environment that looks exactly like a wild animals domicile.

We all are to converge at the school gate by 6:30am and please Note: this protest is proposed to be a peaceful one, no vandalism, no violence. The presence of the police and other law enforcement agencies would also be guaranteed. the punch has been invited as well as the press. Thanks.
More update would be communicated to you shortly. Thanks.

CrimeThe Boy Who Started Syrian War by toaterry(op): 8:21am On Feb 16, 2017
[Rabat – “If we had known what would happen, we’d never have written that graffiti,” says Mouawiya Syasneh in The Boy Who Started The Syrian War, a recent Al Jazeera documentary that tells his story.

Mouawiya was 14 and in the seventh grade when he sprayed anti-government slogans on a school wall in Deraa in February 2011, never thinking his mischievous act of youthful defiance would spark a war that’s left over half a million dead.

“We saw what was happening in Egypt and Tunisia,” he tells Al Jazeera, referring to the Arab Spring. “So we got together at school, took some paint and sprayed the walls. We wrote on the school wall, ‘Your turn next, Doctor [Assad].’ A few days later the police saw what we’d written and rounded up the boys in the neighbourhood.”

Mouawiya’s three accomplices were arrested by the police, together with a dozen other suspects. Mouawiya was arrested at home at 4am and driven away in handcuffs. He was detained for 45 days and tortured. “The electric shock treatment was the worst,” he tells Al Jazeera. “They took me to the bathroom and it was really wet and they would turn on the shower. They ran the current through the water and onto my back. I felt the shock wherever the water went.”

When their fathers tried to find out what had become of the boys, they were told, “Forget those children; go home and make some more. If you can’t manage, send us your women and we’ll make more for you.”

Fearing for the boys’ safety after a month in police custody, thousands began taking to the streets demanding their return. When the peaceful protests were met with further violence, they spread. Soon this was no longer a protest over the arrest of some young boys; it had become an uprising.

“When I got out, I was surprised by all the protests,” says Mouawiya. “There were mass demonstrations. It was chaos. We went and joined in when we saw what was happening. We were happy. I suppose we felt all this support was for us. All these people were out on the street, for us. But we didn’t know that a crackdown was coming.”

Mouawiya had dreamt of going to university. “I wanted to study business and economics,” he says. But his dreams were shattered by the war, especially after his father was killed in an airstrike in Deraa in 2013, plunging his family into poverty. “When he was killed, I felt lost in the world,” says Mouawiya.

He saw only one option open. “I felt I must take up arms and fight,” says Mouawiya. “It was a big moment in my life. I wanted to fight for the Free Syrian Army (FSA).”

Just four weeks after joining the FSA, Mouawiya was shot and wounded in the leg. His best friend, Amaar, joined the FSA on the same day but was less fortunate, and is buried at the edge of town.

“I didn’t expect this to happen,” says Mouawiya. “No one expected this against civilians. We didn’t expect all the destruction. Later on, we started to feel we’d messed up and made a huge mistake.”
