In a new report, Amnesty says its researchers collected evidence from 23 villages and towns of indiscriminate killings by government forces and affiliated militias. Amnesty adviser Donatella Rovera said civilians are enduring massive brutality. Donatella Rovera: "The civilian population is very much on the receiving end, getting caught in the conflict, and being quite frankly mercilessly targeted by government forces who have been pounding towns and villages, going into people's homes, taking young men out of the houses and executing them in front of their families and burning down their homes." In its report, Amnesty renewed its call for an arms embargo on Syria and for the Security Council to refer the Syrian government to the International Criminal Court. http://news.linktv.org/videos/raw-video-charles-taylor-sentencing-in-full?start=0 Former Liberian President Charles Ghankay Taylor has been sentenced to 50 years in prison for war crimes against humanity.

Released on March 5, it was viewed more than 100 million times online in just under a week, making it the most viral video in history. We speak with two Ugandans about the impact of the film and how the Kony 2012 campaign calls for U.S. military intervention in Central Africa to fight the LRA.

In what was his first interview for over 20 years, filmed in June 2006, Joseph Kony explained his reasons for fighting: "I am a freedom fighter not a terrorist. We are fighting for total democracy." It's a surprising statement from a man widely believed to be a mad fantasist fighting for God. It's taken nearly a year of negotiations for Kony to agree to this interview. In his jungle hideout in the DRC, he seems relaxed and at ease. He weighs up each question with consideration and is surprisingly articulate. "The LRA has never been involved in any abductions, rapes or mutilations. That's just Museveni's propaganda." Perhaps mindful of his reputation, Kony denies suggestions God told him to fight. He does, however, admit to being guided by "very many spirits." And Vincent Otti, his number two states: "We are fighting to defend the 10 Commandments." It's believed Kony is about to begin peace talks with the Ugandan government. He's been following the case of former Liberian leader Charles Taylor with interest. But Kony himself has no fear of an international tribunal. As the VP of South Sudan states: "If we can bring about a peaceful settlement, the legal process can be done later." http://news.linktv.org/videos/is-syria-becoming-the-new-bosnia?start=0 Nearly one year after the uprising began in Syria, observers fear that the situation may lead to the country becoming the new Bosnia, drawing particular parallels between the 1992 siege of Sarajevo and the fierce battle being waged over Homs. Wed, 07 Mar 2012 10:21:00 -0800 http://news.linktv.org/videos/is-syria-becoming-the-new-bosnia Siege of Homs, Bashar al-Assad, Syria, Syrian Civil War, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Siege of Sarajevo, Bosnian War, Civilian casualties, Slobodan Milošević, Homs Nearly one year after the uprising began in Syria, observers and analysts fear that the situation may lead to the country becoming the new Bosnia. In 1992, Sarajevo was subject to the most violent bloody attack waged by Serbians wanting to impose their control over Muslims. A similar scenario is occurring in Homs which has been the scene of a fierce battle for more than a month where live bullets, tanks and heavy artillery have been used. The siege of Sarajevo lasted three years with daily bombardments using heavy weapons and mortar fire from surrounding hills. More than 10,000 people were killed under that siege including children. In Syria, the army is using similar military tactics in its attempt to destroy the opposition. We do not know the precise number of people killed since the beginning of the uprising but according to several international organizations, their number has surpassed 10,000, including more than 400 children. Fears of the crisis in Syria taking a sectarian turn echo similar fears expressed in Bosnia 20 years ago. In Bosnia, a sectarian war started in 1992 between Serbians on one hand, and Bosnia Muslims and Croats on the other. Serbians committed most of the atrocities against civilians; in Srebrenica, more than 8,000 Muslims were killed in the summer of 1995. In Syria, it is impossible to deny that the country's security apparatus is dominated by the Alawites, a sect to which the president belongs whereas the majority of the opposition belongs to the Sunni sect. There are also strange similarities in how the international community responded to both the crisis in Bosnia and today's events in Syria, namely the urgent need to protect citizens. In Bosnia, a resolution number 761 was adopted in 1992 in a bid to send U.N. troops with light weapons to the country, but few weeks later, those forces needed to be particularly protected from Serbian attacks. The international community failed to bring Serbian leader Slobodan Milosevic to the negotiating table before NATO raids in 1995. It took 100 resolutions issued by the Security Council before any concrete result could be achieved. These facts should send a chilling message to any government intending to interfere in Syria especially after the first Security Council resolution was blocked by Russian and Chinese opposition, American vigilance and a weak but unified Arab support. In Bosnia, holding the perpetrators responsible took a long time and the process didn't start until after the eruption of another conflict in Kosovo in 1999. The International Criminal Tribunal for former Yugoslavia was founded by the United States in 1993 and took around a decade to start its trials after having arrested a number of political and military leaders, while Former Bosnian Serb leader Radovan Krazadech, arrested in 2008, is still undergoing a trial. As for Syria, especially in Homs, observers unanimously agree that the regime's forces have perpetrated war crimes including crimes against humanity, ethnic cleansing and genocide which bring to mind the tragedy of Hama in 1982 at the hands of the same forces. In light of the available data on President Bashar al-Assad and his close aides' involvement in these serious violations and after the end of Muammar Qaddafi in Libya, many believe that the Syrian regime will not stop its brutal crackdown because there is no other way out. And if the West intervenes as it did in Libya, then too the Syrian regime's fate is a dark one. http://news.linktv.org/videos/kony-2012-watch-the-film?start=0 "Kony 2012" is a film by campaign group Invisible Children that aims to make Joseph Kony famous.

Ocampo also said he has information that indicates some mercenaries are trying to help Saif al-Islam flee Libya. He called on all states to obstruct the plan. Reporter, Male # 2 This was Saif al-Islam al-Gaddafi's last public appearance after Tripoli's fall at the hands of the Libyan National Council's forces. And just as he suddenly appeared, Saif al-Islam disappeared again and became a fugitive in Libya; a fugitive alongside Intelligence Chief Abdullah al-Senussi. Both men are accused of committing crimes against humanity. Libya's new rulers want to see them behind bars, and the same applies for the International Criminal Court. The court's chief prosecutor spoke of negotiating Saif al-Islam's surrender terms after discussing the issues the man will face if he is imprisoned or decides to surrender. Guest, Male # 3 (Luis Moreno-Ocampo, ICC chief prosecutor) Saif, alongside Muammar al-Gaddafi, is accused of waging a killing and persecution campaign against political dissenters. These two crimes were carried out as part of a wide-scale organized campaign against civilians. These are crimes against humanity according to the seventh article of the Rome Statute. Al-Senussi is responsible for killing or commanding the operation of shooting and killing civilians. Reporter, Male # 2 Ocampo also expressed fear over Saif al-Islam's ability to flee with the help of mercenaries to a state that does not recognize the ICC. It seems Algeria is a possibility. On one hand, Algeria does not recognize the ICC, and on the other, several Gaddafi family members have sought refuge in the country. The man then spoke of the accusations directed against the former Libyan regime. But he did not discuss the accusations against NATO and the Transitional Council's forces of committing war crimes. NATO has repeatedly denied the accusations of targeting civilians while the Council vowed to hold responsible all those convicted of killing or violating the rights of al-Gaddafi's supporters. http://news.linktv.org/videos/genocide-worse-than-war-full-length-documentary-pbs?start=0 Daniel Goldhagen's ground-breaking documentary focuses on the worldwide phenomenon of genocide, which has taken more lives since the beginning of the twentieth century than war.

This led supporters of the Syrian opposition to take to the streets of towns and cities under the slogan "Monday of anger for Zeinab al-Hosany," who was killed by the shabeha after being detained to bait her brother, human rights activist Mohammad al-Hosany. Meanwhile, funeral processions have been an integral part of the Syrian revolution since its start, as victims are dying on a daily basis across Syrian regions. In this context, tens of thousands of people held a funeral for Fadi Jumuaa in Saqaba, in the countryside of Damascus, amid chants for the downfall of al-Assad. Activists posted videos online of a massive demonstration in the Damascus neighborhood of al-Qaboun during the funeral of Syrian citizen Azham Abed, amid cries for freedom. Anti-Baath night protests swept Syrian towns and cities, notably in Homs in the center of the country where heavy gunfire reportedly targeted demonstrators. And as usual, protestors demanded the downfall of the regime and the execution of the president. In addition, they asked for international protection of civilians demanding freedom. As for international positions, French Foreign Minister Alain Juppe's stance stood out. From New York, he accused the Syrian regime of committing crimes against humanity and criticized the Security Council for its inability to take a firm stance on the events in Syria. http://news.linktv.org/videos/mosaic-news-090811?start=38 <p>New clashes break out in Sudan's Blue Nile as state authorities say life is "back to normal," Bahraini activists plann "Friday of no concessions" rally, Syria's opposition appeals for international observers, and more.</p> Thu, 08 Sep 2011 00:00:00 -0700 http://news.linktv.org/videos/mosaic-news-090811 Protest, Israel, Libya, Egypt, Palestinians, Civilian casualties, 2011 Libyan Uprising, Muammar Gaddafi , Syrian Civil War, Bahrain Uprising Presenter, Male #1 The International Criminal Court announced today that it requested the International Criminal Police Organization, Interpol, to issue an arrest warrant for Muammar al-Gaddafi, his son Saif al-Islam, and his intelligence chief Abdullah al-Senoussi on charges of committing crimes against humanity. This comes after Gaddafi denied fleeing from Libya to Niger in an audiotape, describing such reports as mere psychological warfare and lies. For its part, the National Transitional Council dispatched additional forces to the town of Bani Walid. A spokesman for the revolutionaries said clashes broke out last night between the revolutionaries and Gaddafi's battalions, which launched attacks from inside the town. The revolutionaries managed to fend off the attack and kill one battalion member. More details in this report by Khalil Ibn el-Dine. Reporter, Male #2 Gaddafi's battalions are arbitrarily launching rockets everywhere to cover their hurried withdrawal from Wadi al-Ahmar towards Harawa. The revolutionaries are not responding unless it is necessary. They are monitoring the battalions' movements and amassing in new strongholds. Guest, Male #3 (Mohamed al-Fitouri, Commander) Of course, despite the truce between the battalions and the revolutionaries in the city, the battalions are still launching rockets at us, but thank God, all the young fighters are advancing. God willing, the entry into Sirte will happen very soon, God willing. Reporter, Male #2 Not far from the battlefront, another team of revolutionaries are combing and securing the villages from which Gaddafi's battalions withdrew. They are not leaving room for any possible pockets of resistance. Guest, Male #4 We came now to comb the region again. We are telling the residents of this area that we will secure the area and, God willing, not to be scared of anything. Guest, Male #5 The whole city has been liberated; we are opening media stations, relief centers, and searching for missing detainees. Reporter, Male #2 On their way to Sirte, the revolutionaries are combing the villages and farms they capture, paving way for the residents to return to normal life. Gradually, life has started to return to normal in the village of Nufilia. Children are cheerful again, roaming around as they carry the new Libyan flag on their chests. As for the adults, they are also enjoying their summer gatherings. At the end of the main avenue, the village's bakery is fully functioning. Young men volunteered, along with the owner, to provide people with free loaves of bread. Guest, Male #6 (Ahmed Saleh Ikrim, Bakery Owner) We are distributing bread for free, God willing. The revolutionaries and the citizens, anyone can come get bread. Whether it's 100, 200, or however much is needed. Reporter, Male #2 This young child, Zayed, is lucky that the clinic re-opened today after six months. Zayed, whose forehead was injured, came with his father for treatment. The children of the neighborhood also came to thank the doctors for volunteering their services to the village that has been greatly marginalized. The initiative was undertaken by the Libyan Committee for Humanitarian Aid while waiting for other initiatives to be implemented in the villages the revolutionaries have not yet reached.

Ocampo expressed his hope that Saif al-Islam would soon be extradited to Holland for his trial in The Hague. Thirty-nine-year-old Saif al-Islam appeared to be following in his father's steps. Contrary to what was said about his political openness, he made heated statements condemning the revolution. Reporter, Male #1 For years, Saif al-Islam al-Gaddafi played a prominent role in the political life of his father's regime without any official position. Saif al-Islam, the oldest son of Gaddafi's second wife, was born in Tripoli on June 25, 1972. He is the second oldest of Gaddafi's eight children. In 1995, he obtained a degree in architectural engineering from Tripoli's al-Fateh University and a PhD from the London School of Economics. He began his political activities outside Libya in 2000, when he attended negotiations over the release of western hostages in the Philippines. In 1997, he established the Gaddafi International Foundation for Charity Associations. He acted as mediator in the case involving Bulgarian nurses, who spent eight years in Libyan prisons, and helped release them in 2007. He took part in negotiations regarding compensating the families of victims of the commercial plane crash in Lockerbie, Scotland in 1988. He also pushed for compensations to the victims of the UTA flight that crashed in Niger a year later. Saif al-Islam wanted to introduce his country to private media networks and succeeded in 2007, when Libya's first private television channel and two newspapers were launched. However in 2009, they were either nationalized or shut down. Saif al-Islam al-Gaddafi's anticipated presence in the criminal court will be the first of its kind for the Arab dictatorial regimes. http://news.linktv.org/videos/mosaic-news-070611-world-news-from-the-middle-east?start=37 <p>Libyan revolutionaries attack key Tripoli gateway, Amnesty International accuses Syria of crimes against humanity, fears of war renewed as independence for South Sudan approaches, and more.</p> Wed, 06 Jul 2011 00:00:00 -0700 http://news.linktv.org/videos/mosaic-news-070611-world-news-from-the-middle-east Protest, Gaza, Syria, Flotilla, Israel, Ben Gurion Airport, Gaza blockade, Bahrain, Human rights, Benjamin Netanyahu Presenter, Female #1 Amnesty International said that Syrian government forces committed what it described as crimes against humanity against the anti-government protestors this past May in the town of Talkalakh, near the Lebanese border. Amnesty International's report accuses the Syrian security forces of committing crimes such as murder, torture, and arbitrary arrests. The organization says that it gathered testimonies from thousands of Syrians who fled to Lebanon. Guest, Male #1 Amnesty International has just compiled a report on the very brutal repression that targeted civilians in Talkalakh in western Syria. We witnessed cases of arbitrary detainment, death in prison, and torture. We call on the UN Security Council to investigate this case before referring it to the International Criminal Court because there are clear indicators that wide-scale crimes against humanity were committed. Reporter, Female #1 Talkalakh, near Homs, was one of the towns that witnessed protests against the ruling regime in Syria. The Syrian army entered the town on May 14th to execute military operations against whom it referred to as militants there. Most residents fled the town and crossed the border into Lebanon. Meanwhile, Amnesty International began collecting information from the refugees and making phone calls to those who remain in the region to learn the truth about what happened. The organization says that the outcome of its investigation and documents that it obtained prove that the Syrian army has committed crimes against humanity in Talkalakh. It requested the Security Council refer the case to the International Criminal Court in The Hague. This is not the first time that an international rights organization has displayed a list of charges of human rights violations against the Syrian government. Since protests broke out in Syria four months ago, images of events there ensued. These images cannot be verified due to the Syrian government's ban on journalists entering the country. However, the images continued to come out proving the same scenes. The Syrian government intensively used the army to repress protestors. Live bullets were used to disperse civilians. The bodies of youths were tossed by the roadside in a number of towns. The report asserts that eight out of nine youths were killed after being arrested and tortured, despite the fact they had already been hit by bullets and were bleeding. The testimonies of a number of released detainees indicate that they were tortured by being repeatedly shocked on their genitals with electric sticks, and that the Syrian intelligence forced them to fingerprint documents without telling them their contents. Talkalakh citizens deny the government's story stating that those detained, tortured and killed were militants, and instead say that they were peaceful just like the other protestors. The report reviewed the case of the child Hamza al-Khatib, whose family says that he was killed after the Syrian security forces arrested and tortured him. The government denies these allegations. Leaders of the protests hold the Syrian army responsible for killing over 1,400 people for their participation in the demonstrations. But the Syrian government says that more than 500 soldiers and policemen were killed by whom it refers to as militants.

They've been charged with war crimes, crimes against humanity, and genocide. The charges stem from incidents way back in the 1970s, when the ultra-communist Khmer Rouge caused the deaths of up to two million people, a tragedy that ended when Vietnam invaded and toppled the regime in 1979. We have this report from VTV4. The suspects on trial are important leaders of the Khmer Rouge. They include Nuon Chea, the second in command, Khieu Samphan, then head of state, Ieng Sary, the foreign minister, and his wife, Ieng Thirith, who was minister of social affairs. The four are on trial for war crimes and crimes against humanity during the Khmer Rouge regime which took place from 1975 to 1979. During the trial, the court will hear testimony from victims and other related witnesses. Another session will take place in September. Dim Sovannarom, Victim Spokesman: Justice for the victims will be realized despite the long time span. This is an important case in terms of Cambodian culture, and necessary for the truth to come to light. The leaders of the Khmer Rouge will finally be tried for their crimes before the court. In their four years of power, the Khmer Rouge directly caused the death of about 2 million Cambodians. The victims were starved, worked to death, imprisoned, and executed. Today there are lots of people that have come to the court house to witness the trial. Tang Soc Kha, Phnom Penh resident: Many people in my family were killed. Out of 11 people, only 3 survived. I've come to court today to wish that justice will be served for the victims. The four suspects proclaim their innocence. Because of this, the trial could be drawn out for many months if not years. The court was established in 2006 by the United Nations. This is the second trial of the leaders of the Khmer Rouge. The previous trial in July 2010 resulted in a 35 year sentence for Khmer Rouge prison chief Kaing Guek Eav, known as Duch, for war crimes and crimes against humanity. This is likely to be the last trial against senior leaders of the Khmer Rouge -- but only because most of them have already died. http://news.linktv.org/videos/mosaic-news-062711-world-news-from-the-middle-east?start=35 The International Criminal Court issues arrest warrants for Libyan leader Muammar al-Gaddafi, his son Saif al-Islam, and his intelligence chief Abdullah al-Sanussi. Mon, 27 Jun 2011 00:00:00 -0700 http://news.linktv.org/videos/mosaic-news-062711-world-news-from-the-middle-east Israel, Gaza, Gaza blockade, Israel Defense Forces, Flotilla, Protest, Gaza flotilla raid, Opposition (politics), Muammar Gaddafi , Syria Presenter, Female #1 The International Criminal Court issued arrest warrants for the Libyan Colonel Muammar al-Gaddafi, his son Saif al-Islam, and his intelligence chief Abdullah al-Sanussi. Presenter, Male #1 This came after Attorney General Luis Moreno-Ocampo's request to issue the warrants under allegations of crimes against humanity. It is worth mentioning that in the request he submitted to the ICC this past May, Ocampo indicated that he had obtained evidence proving that Gaddafi gave orders to kill protestors and that he committed crimes against humanity. Reporter, Male #1 After the Sudanese President Omar Hassan al-Bashir, Gaddafi has become the second Arab leader wanted by the International Criminal Court. On May 16, the ICC attorney-general, Luis Moreno-Ocampo, requested arrests warrants for Gaddafi, his son Saif al-Islam, and the Libyan intelligence chief under accusations of crimes against humanity. The number of Libyans killed since the Libyan revolution began is not known for certain but is estimated at over 3,000. With the ICC's decision, Gaddafi went from being the "King of Kings in the African Continent" to a wanted man by justice. This is the scene witnessed by countries of the world. In his lengthy speech given in late February, described by some European leaders as "very very frightening," Gaddafi threatened his citizens of using force against those he referred to as "inciters" hired by foreign institutions. He considered them gangsters, rats, mercenaries, and addicts of hallucinogens, and said they did not represent the Libyan people. As protests escalated, he delivered on his promise and used warplanes to bomb neighborhoods of cities that revolted against his 42-year rule. As he was about to bomb Benghazi, the announcement of a no-fly zone imposed on the city prevented him from targeting it. He relied entirely on his security battalions and mercenaries to attack revolutionary strongholds and cities using Grad rockets and artillery shelling. Large numbers of civilians and revolutionaries were killed and residential neighborhoods completely destroyed. In addition, there has been a wave of displacement due to the severe shortage of basic supplies, the cutoff of drinking water and electricity, and the depletion of oil byproducts. The situation deteriorated as members of Gaddafi's battalions confessed to committing atrocities, such as killing soldiers who refused to take part in opening fire on civilians, executing doctors and others who would not swear allegiance to Gaddafi, raping women because they were from rebelling cities, attempting to poison drinking water to kill as many people as possible, and brutally torturing a number of victims. Gaddafi's son Saif al-Islam is seen as a direct accomplice in the atrocities that Libya has been witnessing. This past February, he described the protests as a major strife and warned of a civil war. He also accused many protestors of using narcotics and hallucinogens. Gaddafi has been in hiding since NATO escalated its bombing of Tripoli and still remains out of sight. The Libyan people are continuing their revolution even if it means more sacrifices in the path to ending this leader's rule. Data shows that he has squandered the wealth of Libya on personal ventures, which have done nothing but fuel anger in the country. http://news.linktv.org/videos/mosaic-news-061711-world-news-from-the-middle-east?start=811 <p>Saudi women drive wheels of change in the kingdom, Syrian demonstrators insist on the power of peaceful protests, Iraq's political division translated onto the street, and more.</p> Fri, 17 Jun 2011 00:00:00 -0700 http://news.linktv.org/videos/mosaic-news-061711-world-news-from-the-middle-east Protest, Friday prayers, Israel, Arab Spring, United Nations, Syria, South Kordofan, Yemen, Libya, Saudi Arabia Presenter, Female # 1 In the latest developments in Libya, NATO continues to carry out raids in the capital Tripoli and its suburbs as multiple explosions were heard throughout different parts of the city. Libyan television quoted a Libyan military spokesman saying that for the fourth consecutive day, NATO airplanes bombed the area of Fornaj, an eastern suburb of Tripoli, at dawn. Multiple explosions were heard and columns of smoke were seen in the city. In a related development, the General People's Committee of Libya strongly condemned NATO's criminal operation that bombed a bus carrying civilian passengers who live close to the city of Kalka Najem. The bombing resulted in the killing of 12 people. The committee held French President Nicolas Sarkozy directly responsible for the campaign aimed at exterminating the Libyan people and for committing crimes against humanity. Presenter, Male #1 The United States reported that the cost of military operations in Libya as of June 3 has exceeded 517 million dollars. This figure accounts for operations before June 3. The announcement came in a report submitted by the US administration to Congress in an attempt to convince members of Congress that Obama did not exceed his authority by waging military operations against Libya. The report expects the total cost of military operations to reach 1.1 billion dollars by the end of September. In another development, Varvara Paal, the spokeswoman for the Russian envoy to Libya Mikhail Margelov, announced that Margelov will visit the Libyan capital in order to meet with Libyan leaders and mediate a solution to the Libyan crisis. http://news.linktv.org/videos/ratko-mladic-captured?start=0 Ratko Mladic, the chief of the Bosnian Serb Army during the Balkans War who has been implicated as being involved in war crimes, has been captured.
