This came in the search list I have on twitter and I thought it kind of strange. I don't know why they have a hashtag with George's name.

Press Release About The Statement Made By The Director Of The International Crisis Group Concerning The ICC
24/07/2013 20:43:00

In the name of Allah the most Gracious the most Merciful Political Secretary of Justice and Equality Movement, Suleiman Sandal Haggar comments on the statement which made by the director of the International Crisis Group about the referral of the case of Omar Hassan Ahmad al-Bashir to the ICC.
   
Suleiman : Louise Arbour, director of the International Crisis Group, really, committed a grave mistake towards the rights of the victims of genocide in Darfur and United Nations and the international commission which investigated the file and the ICC, when she describes the referral decision of Omar Hassan Ahmad al-Bashir case to the international criminal court as a grave error. Suleimanl: calls Louise to retreat from this statement which only serves dictators and blood sucking in the world.    

Director of the International Crisis Group Louise Arbour said that the referral of the case of Omar Hassan Ahmad al-Bashir to the international criminal court was grave mistake, but she did not elaborate or determine what is the nature of such mistake, is the mistake n the essence of the issue or in the recommendation of the international committee which investigated the case. Since she did not specify the reasons of the serious mistake we can say that her statement was very provocative and so disgusting and sends a very wrong message to the accused Omar Hassan Ahmad al-Bashir and each of any dictators who kills their people with their weapons. I do not know why was the director of Crises Group made the statement at this particular time and we do not want to go a lot to the interpretations and accusations that can be said when you make such statements as designed to serve purposes of specific policy therefore we ask the director of the organization to retreat from her  statements which will definitely reduce the reputation and status of the International Crisis Group, also we call on all activists in the areas of human rights to detect and expose of the reasons of such statements and react against it, which serves the repressive regimes and Dictatorships in the world

That is weird. I just did a quick search on Louise Arbour, but couldn't pick out any press releases regarding Sudan or Bashir. If I find something, I'll be back.

Okay, I found several posts on it, but they don't really go into detail, only that she said it was a bad idea.

This is from a website of PhD students of Human Rights:

Louise Arbour Thinks Bashir Prosecution a Mistake
Louise Arbour, former Prosecutor of the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia and United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights, considers that it was a mistake for the International Criminal Court to charge Sudan’s President, Omar el-Bachir. In an interview with Montreal journalist Yves Boisvert, published in La Presse, shesaid the charge ‘weakened’ the Court. ‘I participated in the Commission of Inquiry (into the Darfur massacres), I appeared before the Security Council so that the case would be referred to the Court; but in hindsight, I realize that it was a very bad idea’, she said.
Referring files of countries that have not joined the Court ‘discredits’ the Court, according to Louise Arbour. Furthermore, the Security Council refers situations but provides ‘no political or operational support’ to arrest the accused.
Noting that soon the tribunals for the former Yugoslavia and Rwanda will conclude their work, ‘comparisons are invited’. Despite criticisms, the two temporary institutions produced very concrete results: more than 200 accused, many judgments, leaders who were charged, and so on… By comparison, according to Louise Arbour, the International Criminal Court has issued one judgment in ten years. The coming years will be critical for the Court, she admits.

Very strange and to have George's name on it I don't like. Thanks Mosaic for checking further if I pick anything else up I will post.

I'm questioning why she chose Bashir? Why not the others? Is she being pressured to do that?

Today's Huffington Post celeb section is reporting that Our Hero is putting his Nespresso tv ad earnings into Satellite Sentinel. Apparently he's said so in an interview with The Guardian recently - haven't seen that anywhere yet........

He is great
We already know

He has been saying that for awhile now and it's in some of the Nespresso articles from last week. I think I heard some like a million a year it takes, but that was last year. Like everything else I'm sure it is more now. He is also putting his profits from Casamigios toward the Satellite. God Bless him he gives all his love and affection to the needy. John Pendergast has been quite verbal lately also. If we could only clone them. I forward all my tweet to Obama & Kerry don't know if it helps or not but it cannot hurt. He sends us )OFA) people a few times a week to do that to the house and senate so who knows.

Mazy...     .....
