Saudi Activist Who Fought For Women’s Right to Drive Is Sent to Terrorism Court – The New York Times – (Exactly why Saudis are not to be trusted)
Appearing weak and shaking uncontrollably, one of Saudi Arabia’s most prominent prisoners, the women’s rights activist Loujain al-Hathloul, appeared before a Saudi judge on Wednesday to learn that her case was being transferred to a special court for terrorism and national security crimes, her family said.
Ms. al-Hathloul, 31, has been detained since spring 2018 and charged with crimes that include seeking to change the kingdom’s political system, campaigning for women’s rights and communicating with foreign journalists, diplomats and human rights organizations.
Rights groups have called her trial a sham and accused the kingdom of using its courts to punish her and other activists for their outspokenness.

Zero per mill Belarusian doctors spark solidarity demonstrations following arrests over article on protester’s death — Meduza
On November 19, law enforcement officers in Minsk arrested Artem Sorokin, an anesthesiologist at the Minsk Emergency Hospital, and Katerina Borisevich, a journalist for the Belarus news outlet Tut.by.
The arrests came after Tut.by published an article about the death of protester Raman Bandarenka — who was hospitalized with severe injuries on November 12, after being beaten during an altercation over opposition symbols. The article maintained that when he was in the hospital, Raman Bandarenka’s blood alcohol level was zero. This contradicted allegations from both the Belarusian Investigative Committee and subsequently, Alexander Lukashenko, that Bandarenka was drunk.

NRA reports alleged misspending by current and former executives to IRS – The Washington Post
“This is the type of cleanup I would expect to see after a history of gross violations of nonprofit law,” said Philip Hackney, an associate professor of law at the University of Pittsburgh who worked at the IRS for five years until 2011 providing legal oversight of tax-exempt organizations.
LaPierre personally signed the 2019 tax return; such a document is customarily signed by the organization’s treasurer. “He is putting himself on the line, under penalties of perjury, which is what you do if you are trying to get in someone’s good graces,” Hackney said.
New York lawyer and expert on nonprofits Daniel Kurtz said, “It’s a smart move by the NRA instead of digging in their heels, though who knows how they came up with the numbers. It’s an admission of wrongdoing, for sure.”

Eski Türklere gidip biraz kadından bahsedelim. İskitler, Hunlar, Göktürkler…
Orta Asya Türk Devletler’inde kadın her zaman üstün tutulmuştur. Onun da kılıç kuşanıp at sürmesi, ok atması günlük yaşamın bir parçası halindedir. Türk Mitolojisi’nde ise kadın, üstün bir varlık olarak tasvir edilmiştir. Hatta öyle ki Yaradılış Destanı’nda kadın, kainatın yaratılışına sebep olan bir ilham kaynağı olarak görülmüştür

Kadınlar ne erkeklerden üstün görülürdü ne düşük. Kadın, erkeğin tamamlayıcısıydı. Gerek toplumda gerekse de özel yaşamlarında bu hep böyle olmuştu. Bunlar M.Ö. 3000-4000 zamanlarıydı. Şu an M.S. 2018 yılındayız. Sizce hangi yıl gerçekten daha geride?

Şimdi biraz daha ileriye gidelim. İslam zamanına. Hani bugün İslam, kadınların evde oturmalarını sadece ev ile ilgilenip başka hiçbir şey yapmamalarını istiyor diyenlere inat, Hz. Hatice annemizi göstermek istiyorum onlara. Hz. Hatice, ticaretle uğraşan bir kadındı. Yani toplumun tam içerisindeydi. O halde şimdi ne değişti? Zihniyetleriniz mi? Ona göre mi yorumlamaya başladınız dini? Bana Ahzap Suresi’nin…
