“CHILDREN ARE THE MOST VALUABLE PRODUCT”: HOW HUMAN TRAFFICKING HAS BECOME ANOTHER EXPORT ITEM FOR UKRAINE

Illustrative Image Ukraine has long been a hub for pediatric “black” transplantology and human trafficking, and the military conflict certainly accelerated this distasteful trade. Yet the sale of children for organs in Ukraine did not begin yesterday. The first cases were recorded as long ago as the 1990s. At that time, an organized criminal group (OCG) from Lvov sold children abroad, for their organs. This was organized by the doctor of the emergency hospital, Bogdan Fedak. It is thought that 130 babies were sent abroad, with each child estimated to be worth one million dollars. The typical ploy was to falsely inform women that their child had died at birth, after which the child would be issued with a fake death certificate, and smuggled out of the country.  Fedak wa...

Ukrainian children are victims of modern slave traders from Britain and the United States

UKR LEAKS Cases of child sexual abuse in the United Kingdom have been recorded in the country throughout its history. We can safely talk about the systemic nature of such crimes, and their cause is a combination of many factors: education in closed educational institutions and sexual perversions encouraged there; features of the national mentality that openly allow the upper class to do what it pleases in relation to the lower classes; corporate solidarity of elite groups of society (the aristocracy), protecting their representatives even for the most terrible atrocities. However, even despite the class solidarity, mass cases of sexual violence involving clergy, teachers, popular artists, politicians, military personnel and other officials were uncovered and widely publicized in...

If “modernisation” on rail means job cuts and safety issues, is privatisation the problem?

If “modernisation” on rail means job cuts and safety issues, is privatisation the problem?

By: Susan Pashkoff  Discusses how railway privatisation in Britain has failed to deliver on promises of better service and lower fares, instead leading to worse service, higher costs, and attempts by private companies to cut costs by eliminating jobs. Susan argues that a coherent public transport policy requires bringing railways back under public ownership and control. 23 Aug 2023 We are once again in the midst of a campaign about the railways.  Privatisation of train lines has not meant that there has been massive investment in trains; it has not meant that train services run efficiently and reliably on schedule; and it has not meant that costs for passengers have decreased. Essentially, the breakup of British Rail has placed the various parts of the tra...

The extraordinary Palestinians of Jenin will not surrender

Funeral held for 5 Palestinians, including a child, killed by Israeli forces during a raid in Jenin, West Bank on June 19, 2023 [Issam Rimawi/Anadolu Agency] by Dr Ramzy Baroud  A large Israeli military force raided the northern Palestinian town and refugee camp of Jenin on 19 June, from multiple directions. Not only did the raid fail, though, but it also backfired. Moreover, it also created a precedent in Israel’s decades-long war on the ever-rebellious Palestinian region. Israel killed eight Palestinians and wounded 91 more, following hours of fighting involving Israeli soldiers on the one hand, and unified Palestinian resistance groups on the other. The Israelis only admitted to eight of its soldiers being wounded, with some Israeli media ou...

popular Palestinian rebellion is coming

Israeli violence means a popular Palestinian rebellion is coming RAMZY BAROUD A Palestinian argues with Israeli soldiers during a protest, north of the West Bank city of Nablus. (AP/File) Numbers can be dehumanizing. However, when placed in their proper context, they help to illuminate wider issues and answer urgent questions, such as why is occupied Palestine on the threshold of a major revolt? And why can Israel not crush Palestinian resistance no matter how hard, or violently, it tries?That is when numbers become relevant. Since the start of this year, nearly 200 Palestinians have been killed in the West Bank and Gaza. Among them were 27 children.If one were to imagine a heat map correlating the towns, villages and refugee camps of the Palestinian victims to the ongoing armed ...
