The death row widows of Kabul

LilyM — Thu, 20 Oct 2011 15:10:34 +0100

For years, Gul Guncha had put up with her violent and abusive husband. He raped his seven-year-old daughter, then married her off to an old man, who also raped her. He sold their two-and-a-half-year-old daughter for 200,000 afghanis (£2,600) and was attempting to find a buyer for their other baby girl. He started beating Gul Guncha and the children when she asked the community for help. But their help was no use – and, one day, she snapped. As he beat them yet again, she grabbed a metal pole used to extract hot bread from the kiln, and clubbed him to death.

Tony Ford : Demand Justice

Justice4Tony — Fri, 09 Sep 2011 12:30:21 +0100

Tony Egbuna Ford is more than an inmate, more than just his prison number. He is a son, a husband, a father, a grandson, a brother, an uncle, a friend. He is an artist, a poet. He is a spiritual man, a patient man, a kind and loving man. He loves life. And despite the blows dealt to him by his fellow human beings, he loves humanity. He fights tirelessly, peacefully, against the flawed system that cages him. He fights for those who do not have the strength to fight for themselves. He is a big brother, a shoulder to lean on, for those who society has cast aside
