"In the Soviet Union, dubious psychiatric diagnoses were sometimes used to confine political prisoners": this U.S.-centric canard again! The same thing is done in the U.S.! The pot is calling the kettle black! I am rewriting for NPOV. --Daniel C. Boyer
Any examples of that in the US, or are you all talk? A2Kafir 02:13, 21 Oct 2004 (UTC)
War on Drugs
The Wiki-fascists evidently find the following citation objectionable. Though the article alleges that ALL countries have examples of political prisoners, yet when some prominent Americans allege that the victims of the politically-motivated war on drugs may be examples of political prisoners, such an example as follows cannot be cited, presumably due to irrational application of the NPOV dogma:
- In America, Rep. Charlie Rangel and others have called those imprisoned due to the War on drugs, political prisoners .
There's nothing irrational about it. Murderers, deserters and drug dealers are not political prisoners! -- Spock
Mordechai Vanunu
Shouldn't he be included? He exposed the Israeli nuclear program in the eighties. He is free since 2004, but is not allowed to leave the country or to speak with foreign media. He risks more charges because he violated the latter restriction, something he feels is simply one of its human rights. http://www.nonviolence.org/vanunu/ is a campaigning site for Mordechai
No. Mr. Vanunu sold nuclear secrets to a British newspaper -- he committed treason, straight up. -- Spock
I disagree. His rights are violated. His trial was not public. His arrest was on foreign soil. Evilbu 22:23, 24 February 2006 (UTC)
