UN High Commissioner on Human Rights ruled that Donziger’s home detention is illegal under international law and called on the U.S. to release him.

Donziger will have spent an unprecedented 787 days on house arrest as of Friday in what is one of the most winding and wild court cases that spans multiple countries and involves "Chevron" and thousands of Indigenous people in the Amazon. gizmodo.com/un-finds-steve…
Donziger led a lawsuit against the oil company on behalf of 30,000 Indigenous people and peasant farmers in the Amazon for creating what has been called the Amazon’s Chernobyl in terms of industrial pollution.

"Donziger has been subject to an illegal detention orchestrated by "Chevron" and two ideologically driven trial judges who are retaliating against him for winning a major pollution judgment in Ecuador against a powerful U.S. corporation.”

Local sources in Syria’s Al-Hasakah governorate reported on 30 September that an illegal US military base in the region was targeted by a rocket attack.

The US troops are often seen stealing Syrian oil and wheat from the war-torn nation, with convoys of dozens of trucks smuggling the stolen goods into Iraq on an almost weekly basis.
Attacks against US troops illegally stationed in Syria have been on the rise in recent months. Back in June, both US-occupied Al-Omar oil field in Deir Ezzor and a US base near the oil field was hit by similar rocket attacks, injuring several US and SDF soldiers. Image

Syrian government forces along with Russian warplanes have begun an intense bombing campaign on Turkish-backed terrorists groups in the south and west of Idlib and northwest of Hama.
thecradle.co/Article/News/2…
These airstrikes come just two days after Russian President Vladimir Putin met with his Turkish counterpart to discuss, among other topics, the implementation of a 2020 agreement to drive terror groups out of the Idlib governorate.

“I believe the main problem is the presence of foreign armed forces without the permission of the UN & without your mandate, which obviously contradicts international law & prevents you from adopting measures aimed at the country’s consolidation & recovery.”

As the US and Turkey are recycling their terrorists from Iraq and Syria to other new fronts like the newly opened in Afghanistan, the Iraqi security in coordination with the Iraqi PMU have intensified their counter-terrorism operations.

It’s no secret anymore that the US created these terrorist groups starting with the 'Mujahideen' in Afghanistan which later gave rise to Al Qaeda.
