Video of Russian orphans being beaten sparks outrage

The Guardian -- World Latest |
| Russia's investigative committee opens criminal inquiry after footage of teen caretakers beating under-10s goes viral
Two young caretakers are being investigated for torture after a horrific video showing the systematic beating of seven children at a Russian orphanage went viral.
The video shows seven boys in their underclothes lined up against a wall as a caretaker calls them forward one by one, only to grab them by the arm and lash them repeatedly with a belt. She kicks some of them and shoves them off, before grabbing the next child. The boys shriek and wail as the caretaker continues to beat them, at one point shouting: "Go to bed!"
The video, shot on a mobile phone at the Mazanovsky orphanage in the far eastern region of Amur, sparked widespread outrage after it went viral this week.
On Friday, Russia's investigative committee opened a criminal investigation into two teenage caretakers, themselves a product of the orphanage. A third caretaker suspected of involvement was born in ... |

UK human rights record under pressure from UN torture panel
|
9.5.2013 |
The Guardian -- World Latest |
| Rendition, torture and mistreatment of prisoners tackled by UN in Geneva with UK's 'non-answers' singled out for criticism
The UK has faced tough questions this week from a UN panel closely scrutinising the UK's human rights record, following a series of disclosures about involvement in so-called extraordinary rendition and torture in the years following the 9/11 attacks.
Over two days in Geneva, the UK delegation went before the UN committee which monitors the implementation of the international convention against torture to face hundreds of questions covering a range of issues including: complicity in abusive interrogation; renditions to Libya; the mistreatment of prisoners in Iraq; and the stalled official British inquiry into the treatment of terrorism suspects .
Almost every state faces regular examination by the UN's Committee Against Torture , although the UK's appearance has been delayed for a number of years following its late submission of documentary evidence. Once the ... |

Pinter's Hothouse will never cool down | Shami Chakrabarti
|
9.5.2013 |
The Guardian -- World Latest |
| Shami Chakrabarti on how Harold Pinter's play about the connection between mind-control and torture is more prescient now than ever
"It was fantasy when I wrote it, but now it has become, I think, far more relevant. Reality has overtaken it." So said Harold Pinter of The Hothouse, his dark exploration of Kafkaesque incarceration and torture , during a 1982 interview. He was presumably referring to the renewed significance of the play – presciently written in 1958, but shelved until 1980 – given subsequent revelations regarding the political abuse of psychiatry to silence dissidents in the Soviet Union.
But more than three decades on, the work's pertinence remains, and on a much wider footing than those original links with the Brezhnev period. The Hothouse is set in a mysteriously undefined institution, obscurely referred to as both "rest home" and "sanatorium" . The "residents" or "patients", known only as numbers, are regularly electronically tortured. We never actually see their suffering, ... |

Letters: UK responsibility to the Kenyans
|
8.5.2013 |
The Guardian -- World Latest |
| Your editorial (Kenya – evil and the empire, 6 May) draws a comparison with the South African truth and reconciliation process, suggesting that payment to the victims of British violence in Kenya in the 1950s "coupled to a frank confession might help draw a line".
Another means by which the British government could address its historical responsibilities and encourage a frank debate about the imperial past would be to pay for the digitisation of the thousands of files secretly removed from Kenya and dozens of other former colonies on independence. Their existence was revealed only in 2011 , and their contents helped to undermine the government's claim that it could not be held liable for past abuses in Kenya. They are now gradually being released at the National Archives in Kew.
Despite the UK government's claims to the contrary, there is a plausible case for arguing that they are actually the property of the countries in which they were generated. While their physical repatriation would be ... |

Why parents should leave their kids alone
|
4.5.2013 |
The Guardian -- World Latest |
| What if the best thing we could do for our children is just to leave them alone? Jay Griffiths on why modern parenting is making our children miserable
I felt as if I were an unwilling accomplice to torture. Echoes of the victim's screams rang off the varnished walls. The door, tight shut though it was, could not block the cries of panic. A baby, alone and imprisoned in a cot.
The baby's mother was visibly disturbed, too, pale and tearful. She was a victim herself, preyed on by exponents of controlled crying, or Ferberisation – that pitiless system, cruel to them both.
Controlled. Crying. The words speak of the odious aim: a bullying system controlling the feelings of a baby. The mother had been told the situation was the reverse, that the baby was trying to force her will on the mother, but all I could see was a one-year-old demented by abandonment. One American mother wrote poignantly on the internet: "Is Ferberisation worth my heartache or am I truly torturing my child? It seems like ... |

The brutal death of Baha Mousa
|
3.5.2013 |
The Guardian -- World Latest |
| Orwell prize-shortlisted author AT Williams on why he felt compelled to spend years investigating the death of an Iraqi civilian in a British army base in Basra in 2003
Baha Mousa was just a name at first. It appeared on a list of victims, people killed in Basra by British troops in 2003. There was little to distinguish him from the others. Except that he was the only one on the list who had been killed while being held for interrogation in a British base. That was enough to spark my interest. Here was a man, working in a hotel as a receptionist, arrested by British soldiers looking for insurgents, taken into custody for questioning and 36 hours later ending up dead.
There were all sorts of reasons why that may have happened. But legally it was "interesting" because, being held in the middle of an army camp, he was within British jurisdiction when he died. With that came the arguable contention that British law applied, law that included obligations under the Human Rights Act to investigate ... |
