Amnesty for Taliban
08. Februar 2010, von Thomas von der Osten-Sacken“To be appearing on platforms with Britain’s most famous supporter of the Taliban, whom we treat as a human rights defender, is a gross error of judgment.”
Interessant mit wem Amnesty so zusammen Kampagnen durchfuehrt. Aber die Angst vor der Islamophobie geht eben um:
A SENIOR official at Amnesty International has accused the charity of putting the human rights of Al-Qaeda terror suspects above those of their victims
In an email sent to Amnesty’s top bosses, she suggests the charity has mistakenly allied itself with Begg and his “jihadi” group, Cageprisoners, out of fear of being branded racist and Islamophobic.
Da arbeitet man eben schon mal mit Leuten wie Moazzam Begg zusammen, der die Taliban als “better than anything Afghanistan has had in 20 years” loben.
Und die guten alten linken Netzwerke duerfen natuerlich auch nicht fehlen:
When Begg appeared at Downing Street last month as part of a group delivering a letter to Gordon Brown calling for the release of the last British resident held at Guantanamo, he was accompanied by Kate Allen, head of Amnesty’s UK section since 2000. Allen is a leftwinger who was the girlfriend of Ken Livingstone, the former mayor of London, for almost 20 years.
Ken Livingstonbe wiederum ist guter Freund von Sheikh Qaradawi und anderen Islamisten.
