Independent experts appointed by human rights council speak of ‘grave’ nature regarding scale of atrocities against women and girls
Millions of files related to the convicted child sex offender Jeffrey Epstein suggest the existence of a “global criminal enterprise” that carried out acts meeting the legal threshold of crimes against humanity, a panel of independent experts appointed by the United Nations human rights council has said.
The experts said crimes outlined in documents released by the US justice department were committed against a backdrop of supremacist beliefs, racism, corruption and extreme misogyny. The crimes, they said, showed a commodification and dehumanisation of women and girls.
“So grave is the scale, nature, systematic character, and transnational reach of these atrocities against women and girls, that a number of them may reasonably meet the legal threshold of crimes against humanity,” they said in a statement.
TBH, probably pissed, but the media and botfarms that were amping their nonsense before don’t want to now. So we’re not hearing them. That’s why Trump is so desperate to meddle with midterms, he knows that in a fair election he’s fucked. He is absurdly unpopular.
But never forget Trump’s buddy Thiel’s thoughts about that. They fully plan on making peaceful revolution impossible…
