UN experts raise 'widespread' torture concerns with Russia - Lemmy.world
*While torture allegations have previously been levelled against both sides in
the 15-month conflict, the team of U.N. independent experts said Russian forces’
methods may be “state-endorsed”. * The consistency and methods of alleged
torture suggested “a level of coordination, planning and organisation, as well
as the direct authorisation, deliberate policy or official tolerance from
superior authorities”, according to U.N. Special Rapporteur on Torture Alice
Jill Edwards, who sent the letter on 12 June alongside several other independent
experts.
Where am I? - Lemmy.world
A refugee from reddit like a lot of others I guess. I registered to .world
because it was open and .ml was kinda full. Now as the dust of mass migration
starts to settle the leanings of different lemmy instances are becoming clearer.
The fact that lemmygrad is just straight out batshit /r/Donald was pretty
obvious right away. The fact that .ml passes downvotes to the CCP social score
system was not. Federation starts to dissolve into islands of let’s call them
“interests”. Two questions come to mind: 1. Is there an overview of what
instance is federated with what instance? A reason for defederation would be
nice too. 2. Is there one place where I can check moderation policy for this
particular instance? Two of the instances I came across turned out to have
“leanings” as already mentioned. May I cautiously ask what “leaning” if
applicable I might encounter here?
