A community for discussing events around the World
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

So the cause of death is either organ harvesting for medical use, or torture.
Makes my hair stand up with hate and disgust jesus christ

Things to do to Putin when he's caught:
That will burn the dick that fucks the socket.
That's gonna be a long wait until everyone's done with that. But OK. Just let me know when the socket is ready for jalapeño juice.
That'll happen when a huge army to arrest them with is formed. But even then they'll have to fight through their forces to get to them
Should you be switching the order there?
Jalapeño first.
While he's alive.
And we can connect a taser to his balls in case he wants to leave Earl so we can bring him Right back.
He won't know if he's coming our going lol.
Add it to the list. Might take you a while to find the bottom.
Yeah? Is anybody going to do anything about it?
I don't know where you live, but I do know there'll probably be a second front in this particular war in a not too far into the future. I have the feeling that the news channels in the US perhaps leave out some of what is happening in the Baltic sea, for example.
Or the fact that we've been preparing to go fuck them up for the past few years. The rest of Europe is starting to wake up as well. Nobody wants to be next.
We know the answer.
"Achually, she was a journalist, not a prisoner of war. So we can fuck her shit up."
- Russian propaganda, probably
Taking from the Israeli playbook.
Little wonder they're buddying up.
Such actions, if confirmed, could be subject to international prosecution and sanctions.
Forgive me if I don’t hold my breath… 🙄
Actually Putin is already a wanted man for war crimes, and he cannot travel to most countries without being arrested.
Hungary has already hosted a wanted war criminal. And the US has threatened the ICC for doing their job. So maybe that’s two possible destinations for Vladimir?
Their home security IT system is a mosquito net made of paper with a post-it note saying 'no hack pl0x'.
They had been caught letting the Russians take a ~~quick~~ comfy look around and promptly doing fuck all about it. I guess the Russians assume that it's the same reason half of the EU/NATO would also know if Putty decided to take a walk in that country.
Pretty sure Florida and DC are back on his vacation list now
You say this like the US has any history of actually arresting war criminal dictators.
In reality they actually have a massive history of backing them and having them be their puppets, UNLESS they're on Russia's side. That last part no longer matters
Woosh
The term “banana republic” wasn’t invented by the clothing company
Yeah. Him and Bibi will stand trial on the same day.
You are totally right and Putin totally doesn't give a shit.
Putin should be arrested and tried for genocide and war crimes the second he steps out of Russia, but since he's apparently already dying I am afraid we'll never have the pleasure of seeing the asshole in a little jail cell
Same for Netanyahu btw...
I woNder whAt kind of Zany person commIts war crimes against journalists.
From another source:
The investigation revealed that upon examination in Ukraine, it was discovered that several internal organs were missing, including the brain, eyeballs, and part of the larynx.
According to the investigative team, the body showed signs of an autopsy conducted in Russia. An international expert suggested that the missing organs could have been removed to obscure evidence of death by strangulation or suffocation.
Sounds like they mutilated the body to cover up how she died.
I thought they removed her organs, so that they can use them for transplant surgeries, since organs are expensive afaik. But seems thats not the case here since brain, eyes, larynx cannot be transplanted
Someone brough up a theory that it's a "symbolic punishment" for a journalist:
remove the eyes so you cannot see
remove the brain so you cannot think
remove the larynx so you cannot speak (the larynx contains the vocal cords)
That makes much more sense because unless some classified shit was tested on her (in which case they probably wouldn't have returned her body at all) there wouldn't be any reason to hide the cause of her death. If she was hanged on a short rope or strangled which the (lack of) evidence points towards then that's kinda not worse than a journalist being murdered any other way. Wouldn't justify all the fuss at least.
I'm not sure what it says about them that they have this capacity to surprise me every time I heard what next depravity they did.
i wish this depravity from russia surprised me. they decapitated my friend's dad
cool new hack for getting into hard-to-get-into-universities: major in journalism.
Cannot wait for the strongly worded letter and the big story about Putin promenading himself in an ICC country next year.
