, 75, was seized in 2003 in an FBI sting in Thailand. He thought he was going to discuss a Kmart deal. 'Instead, agents seized, hooded and shackled him and flew him to Afghanistan.' Held two decades, never charged with a crime. nytimes.com/2022/10/29/us/…

A politically brave and morally and legally correct move by the Oz government. Thank you Australia for recognizing that all people have rights and that these children are victims who deserve a chance to lead normal lives. 👏👏👏 theguardian.com/australia-news…

10/ Strong piece on this same United Nations counterterrorism summit by Marlena ECNL on what's concerning about new rules countering terrorists' use of new tech: 'a nuanced understanding of the threat is still lacking.' justsecurity.org/83837/emerging…

Human Rights Watch's Letta Tayler told me that if the extraction is confirmed, the Australian government should be commended.

Rehabilitation is the next priority.

9/ So at India’s United Nations tech-and-counterterrorism summit and beyond, the should be encouraging a rights-based approach to countering terrorism at home and abroad, not eroding it.

Fantastic news. Hat's off to Australia's new government for taking this overdue step that its precedessor wouldn't. Next steps: rehabilitation for all, and monitoring and prosecutions if warranted. And bring home the other Australians, too! abc.net.au/news/2022-10-2… ABC Australia

Horrific attacks in NE . Authorities, UN Peacekeeping need to do more to protect, but longer term measures are equally essential, like addressing escalating tensions over dwindling water and pastures, and ending impunity. Powerful new Human Rights Watch jehanne henry report.
