18 years have passed since evidence of war crimes by the US military against detainees at Abu Ghraib in Iraq caused outrage around the world, but the US government, military and private contractors involved in the scandal continue to enjoy total impunity.
In April 2004, hundreds of photos were leaked which showed US soldiers torturing, beating and sexually assaulting detainees at the US-run Prison where up to 90% of the prisoners were “mistakenly” detained.
The photos included images of US military interrogators sexually assaulting and humiliating male and female detainees, soldiers laughing and posing next to the corpse of a Manadel al-Jamadi who was tortured to death by CIA interrogators.

30 years ago today one of the fiercest urban uprisings in U.S. history broke out after the Los Angeles police officers who brutally beat Rodney King walked free.
During their trial, 4 white L.A.P.D. officers were shown in witness footage savagely striking an overpowered King with a baton more than 50 times, tazing & kicking him. King suffered a broken leg, a scar from the stun gun and severe bruising. The court verdict: not guilty.
When the acquittal was announced, the frustration of African-Americans in L.A. neighborhoods exploded, marking the start of 6 days of violence between them and the state. The streets were on fire. "no Justice, no Peace" became the tenor of the uprising.

Today is International Anti-Colonialism Day, marking the day when nations from Asia, Africa, the Middle East as well as Yugoslavia concluded the historic Bandung Conference in 1955, a landmark event in the anti-colonial struggle.
Following WWII, a movement of countries that used to be colonized by mostly Western European powers was launched. They fought themselves free from oppression and entered the world stage as independent countries representing billions.
This movement took form for the first time when delegates from dozens of countries gathered in 1955 in the Indonesian city Bandung.

Today marks the 107th anniversary of the Armenian Genocide. Turkey continues to deny the genocide to this day.
The genocide was an attempt at crushing the growing movement for Armenian self-determination and pushing a policy of Turkification.
On the night of April 23-24, between 235 and 270 prominent Armenian intellectuals and leaders were rounded up in today’s Istanbul and moved to holding centers across present-day Turkey and Syria. The event became known as Red Sunday.

Today marks the birthday of Rosario “La Dinamitera” Sánchez Mora, a woman who literally blew up fascists in the Spanish Civil War.⁠
Sánchez Mora was a Spanish female Republican heroine who was nicknamed “la Dinamitera” (the Dynamiter) for her expertise with explosives. She was one of the first women to enlist in the revolutionary militias that fought Franco’s fascist troops.
She was imprisoned after the defeat of the Republic by the fascists and sentenced to death, which later became a life sentence. She was jailed together with other anarchist, socialist and communist women who were tortured, murdered, and had their children taken away from them.
