Criticism isn’t criminal. But in Escambia County, Alabama, officials arrested 4 citizens for standing up to corruption. The 'Atmore Four' were arrested and jailed over a small-town political dispute about whether to keep a school superintendent. Today, they teamed up with IJ to fight back and defend their #FirstAmendment and #4thAmendment rights. This is their story.

If a party is truly anti-national, why aren’t all its members in jail? What’s stopping the government from acting? If they’re holding back due to personal interests, it means they’re prioritizing those over the nation, making them equally anti-national. In reality, the major party has tried to jail opposition figures, but courts found no evidence. The judiciary has repeatedly criticized agencies for their flawed work. What we see is largely a narrative shaped by media and paid campaigns in favor of the government. Corruption and crime, including rapes, exist across all parties, religions, and states. Action should be taken against the wrongdoers, without generalizing or turning these issues into a tool for trolling #JusticeForAll, #AccountabilityMatters, #NationAbovePolitics, #TruthOverNarratives, #EndCorruptionNow, #FairGovernance, #ActionAgainstWrongdoers, #MediaManipulation, #StopPoliticalWitchHunts, and #JusticePrevails.

Investigating Officer appreciation - In a recent judgement of honorable Lahore High court, honorable justice Ch Abdul Aziz while authoring a remarkable judgment on article 40 of QSO, appreciated the investigating officer of police for his impeccable work. This part of the judgment was the most important part as it highlights the importance of investigating officer and it's effects on criminal justice system. Such police officers should be appreciated at department level so that other officers could take him as a role model. #investigations #police #policetraining #policeofficer #punjab #punjabpolice #lahore #criminaljustice #courtreporting #lahorehighcourt

Challenges include: 🟢torture and ill-treatment 🟢discrimination of the diverse groups of people who end up in prison 🟢the complexities of organised crime and corruption. ❗Responses must have the #humanrights standards European countries have committed to at the centre. 📌Programme and more - https://lnkd.in/dbyXPkGX

Data now shows clearly how crime has risen in Queensland and at the same time the rate of police officers per population has plummeted. The state election is only days away. Recent poll data on voting intentions shows that crime and social order is the third most important voter priority behind cost of living and housing. It also shows that of those surveyed only 22 percent thought that Labor was best placed to handle the issue, with the LNP sitting on 49 percent. The crime rate in Queensland in 2023 was the highest it has been for 20 years. The latest available public data shows that crime across Queensland rose by 0.1 percent in the last twelve months. As newly appointed QPS Commissioner, Steve Gollschewski, said recently “And whilst you might think ‘oh that’s good it’s stabilised’, it’s not good,” he said. “I’m not satisfied at all because we’re on a really high level”. #crime #police #criminology #lawandorder #crimeandjustice #lawenforcement

#Corruption is a complex issue that undermines #trust in #institutions, distorts #economies, and hampers #development. #Political corruption refers to the #misuse of power by #government officials for personal gain or to benefit their own interests or those of their allies, rather than serving the #public good. It can #manifest in various forms, such as #bribery, #embezzlement, nepotism, cronyism, and #electoral #fraud. #Political corruption undermines democracy, erodes public trust in government institutions, and impedes #social and #economic #development. #Efforts to #combat #political #corruption Not Possible Unless and until you have a strong #Judiciary #System People Like #LaluPrasadYadav who is already #convict and should be in Jail is out. 😃😃😃 Arvind Kejriwal has been given a relief 😮💨 by court to go for political campaigns & Paid People are projecting him as a Good Civilized Citizen... May be in BJP OR ANY OTHER PARTY.... This is going to destroy our nation and National Interest for sure... Let's Stay Connected Manish Trivedi 🇮🇳
