Met andere landen een procedure starten tegen Afghanistan wegens het systematisch schenden van vrouwenrechten.

Maar wel vrouwen terugsturen naar datzelfde Afghanistan.

Wat een schandalig plan van het kabinet.

IND blijft bij besluit om drie Afghaanse vrouwen terug te sturen, ondanks kritiek
Vrouwen mogen in Afghanistan niet praten in het openbaar. Toch wil Nederland drie vrouwen terugsturen naar dat land.

Kamala Harris issued a statement
THE OFFICE of KAMALA D. HARRIS Los Angeles is my home. And like so many Americans, I am appalled at what we are witnessing on the streets of our city. Deploying the National Guard is a dangerous escalation meant to provoke chaos. In addition to the recent ICE raids in Southern California and across our nation, it is part of the Trump Administration's cruel, calculated agenda to spread panic and division. This Administration's actions are not about public safety - they're about stoking fear. Fear of a community demanding dignity and due process. Protest is a powerful tool - essential in the fight for justice. And as the LAPD, Mayor, and Governor have noted, demonstrations in defense of our immigrant neighbors have been overwhelmingly peaceful. I continue to support the millions of Americans who are standing up to protect our most fundamental rights and freedoms.

Trump may not know whether he has to uphold the Constitution during his presidency, but hundreds of Vermont lawyers do know. 

I congratulate them, and thousands of lawyers throughout the country, who are fighting to uphold American democracy and the rule of law.

Vermonters have frequently protested the president's actions this year. But this is the first time in memory that Vermont's lawyers demonstrated en masse.

It is suspected that the Serbian regime deployed an unidentified weapon against peaceful protesters in Belgrade last night, possibly sonic or energy-based. Welcome to the brave new world of the 21st century authoritarianism.
