I cannot understand why Blair and Bush concentrated so much on Saddam and not on Mugabe. Could it have simply been the oil?

Hey - it’s great to see human rights getting coverage in the blogosphere.

Last summer Nelson Mandela brought a group of really dedicated individuals together - ex heads of state and Nobel laureates - to work on solving global issues. His hope for the new group, The Elders, is for them to “speak freely and boldly, working both publicly and behind the scenes on whatever actions need to be taken”. They’re working on topics ranging from the crisis in Zimbabwe to rising food costs and they want your help.

There are so many issues in dire need of attention right now, but human rights ties them all together. The Elders launched the Every Human Has Rights campaign to commemorate the 60th Anniversary of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, and celebrate human rights as that common thread that weaves our struggles and our victories together.

We’re asking the blogosphere to take part. Would you be willing to add a link from your page to the Every Human Has Rights website? We also have badges and flash widgets so bloggers can show support for the campaign.

We’re trying to get as many people as possible to sign a personal pledge to uphold the principles of the Universal Declaration. We have action partners to help people get more involved. We have tools so people can bring the ‘rights perspective’ to their own organization’s events. We’re doing everything we can to bring people together to stand up for human rights.

We need bloggers. We need you. Please join our effort.

All the best,

Carly Scott

I read similar article also named ervice training camp teaches torture! at The Village Stream, and it was completely different. Personally, I agree with you more, because this article makes a little bit more sense for me

Quite a gruesome story, Pam. Can’t recall reading one nearly as bad as this.

Thanks for your prayers and writing this post about the sad situation in Zimbabwe. It is important that this brutality, violence, torture and killing of innocent civilians is being exposed for the whole world to see.

My only problem is nobody seems to be able to help, even with all the pictures and videos of victims of violence in Zimbabwe.
Check my blog and you will see more of the violence against innocent villagers.

I could go on and on……………just because I’m so angry about Robert Mugabe and all his friends.

I am in pain. My body hurts, my eyes are filled with tears. Hundreds of years, thousands of years…who are we? What have we done to humanity? How has man lost his soul, his heart? Why do we still live in a world of barbarians?

How can this be? Why is it so? So many questions but no answers…
I weep and I pray…

Excellent post my friend. I will share with my students.
