Ghastly Israeli move to transfer Palestinian Communist leader to solitary confinement

By Harsh Thakor 
The Israeli Prison Services (IPS) has sensationally transferred political prisoner Ahmad Sa’adat, Secretary-General of the Marxist-Leninist Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP), in clutches of solitary confinement. According to Walla news website, the IPS failed to even reveal the reasons behind this ghastly move.
However, this move occurred one day after the Israeli internal security agency, Shin Bet, had declared the detention of six PFLP cadres who were framed for planning attacks against Israeli targets in the occupied West Bank. Shin Bet stated that the alleged planned attacks were advocated by PFLP leaders outside and those inhabiting Israeli prisons.
Meanwhile, Sa’adat secretly gave an interview to an Algerian newspaper, in which he gave a warning of a potential “third intifada” booming. This was most encouraging, as he is manifesting the resurrection of Palestinian spirit to overthrow Zionism.
For its part, the PFLP said that two of its imprisoned cadres had been transferred from their cells without any valid justification: Ahed Abu Ghoulmeh and Walid Hanatsheh.
All human rights activists must in no uncertain terms condemn such a gross violation of human rights laws and admire the undeterring spirit of Sa’adat., who manifests the heart and soul of the Palestinian people, in their quest for liberation. Such a move strikes a very blow tin the very heart of the people themselves. We will possibly witness protests all around Europe or in other parts of the globe in coming days, protesting this victimisation of a political leader.
The incident reveals how things are heating up in the Middle East and how the PFLP is turning into a thorn in the flesh of the Israeli government. Such transfer of Ahmed Sa’adat, illustrates how his leadership of Palestinians has shaken them to the ground and how the Zionists are leaving no stone unturned in smashing Palestinians resistance to the dust. It testifies the fascist or Neo-nazi nature of Israel, who violates all norms of treatment to political prisoners.

Gharapuri's discoveries: India finds a maritime past, ASI an app

By Gajanan Khergamker  The Archaeological Survey of India (ASI) has once again demonstrated an extraordinary talent for mistaking administrative housekeeping for institutional achievement. At the very moment excavations at Gharapuri are yielding evidence that could fundamentally reshape our understanding of India's maritime past, the institution has chosen to celebrate the rollout of QR-enabled audio guides and GPS-supported navigation at its monuments. The contrast could not be starker.

By Laura Violeta Devia López  There are just over three weeks left before Abelardo De La Espriella takes office as Colombia’s new president, despite the numerous allegations that cast a shadow over his election and, as usual, discredit the Colombian electoral system. The announcements already being made by Abelardo and his designated cabinet mark a significant change of course, not only for the Colombian people but also for the country’s place in the world.
