A descent into cruelty and barbarism:

2004: Law Lords ruled against 1) a British #Guantanamo in #Belmarsh 2) the use of evidence obtained under #torture

2024: Britain 1) deports asylum seekers to #Rwanda 2)keeps in prison a journalist, #JA

Chiamare *maestro* chi

- con W.Bush ha causato guerra #Iraq(600mila civili morti+9,2 milioni di rifugiati e sfollati+ nascita #ISIS)

è veramente troppo
