ukusuka Imfazwe Kubugebengu
NgoLwesine, nge-11 kaJanuwari, isikhumbuzo seshumi elinesithandathu sokuvulwa kwentolongo yomkhosi wase-US e-Guantanamo Bay e-Cuba yaphawulwa yimbumbano yemibutho yamalungelo oluntu ali-15 eyayihlanganisene eLafayette Park, ngaphesheya kwePennsylvania Avenue ukusuka kwi-White House eWashington, DC. Inkonzo yomthandazo yeemvaba ngeemvaba yalandelwa yindibano eyayinengoma kunye nemibongo needilesi zamatsha ntliziyo asuka kwimibutho exhasa ngemali, kuquka namagqwetha abanye babavalelwe eGuantanamo, abambalwa kwaba batyholwa ngalo naluphi na ulwaphulo-mthetho kwaye abanye bakhululwa ukuba bakhululwe kwiminyaka eyadlulayo. Ngaphandle kwesibhengezo sakhe sokuba "kwiiholo ezimnyama zase-Abu Ghraib kunye nezisele zokuvalelwa zaseGuantanamo, siye satyeshela eyona milinganiselo yethu ixabisekileyo," uMongameli u-Obama akazange asifezekise isithembiso sakhe sokuvala intolongo kunye neentsuku ngaphambi kokumiselwa kwakhe kulo nyaka uphelileyo, uDonald Trump wabhala kuTwitter. , “Akufuneki kuphinde kubekho ukukhutshwa kweGitmo. Aba ngabantu abayingozi kakhulu kwaye akufuneki bavunyelwe ukuba babuyele edabini. ”
Ndaba nenxaxheba kwiziganeko zosuku njengenxalenye yeqela lamaNgqina Ngokuchasene Nentuthumbo. Olu yayilusuku lwethu lwesine lokuzila ukutya, ukucamngca kunye nokwenza kunye kwaye uninzi lwethu lwalunxibe iisuti ezi-orenji zokutsiba kunye neehood ezimnyama ezimele amadoda angama-41 angamaSilamsi asabanjwe apho. Emva kwe-rally, i-WAT yenza isiko elilula, inika iikomityi zeti ezingama-41 enye ngexesha "kubabanjwa" abaphakamisa ihood yabo ukuba bamkele ikomityi yabo kwaye baphuze ngaphambi kokuyibeka phantsi emgceni wendlela. Amagama ala madoda ayethethwa ngokuvakalayo kwaye ebhalwe kwikomityi nganye ye-styrofoam, ekhumbula ukuba ukuzoba nokubhala kwezo ndebe kube yenye yeendlela ezimbalwa zokuvakalisa amabanjwa amaninzi.
Kamsinya nje emva kokuba kuphakiwe iti, abahlanu kuthi, uKen Jones, uManijeh Saba, uHelen Schietinger, uBeth Adams kunye nam, sangena ePennsylvania Avenue, sisiya ngakwiWhite House siphethe ibhenile eyayibiza ukukhululwa kwaba bangama-41 kunye namawaka awayebanjiwe. kumaziko okuvalelwa kwabantu abavela kwamanye amazwe kunye nezigidi zamaxhoba okuvalelwa kwi-hyper-incarceration e-US. Ukuze sisondele kwiNdlu yeNgcaciso, kwafuneka sinqumle ngaphantsi kweteyiphu yamapolisa etyheli yaye ngoko nangoko sabanjwa ngamapolisa anxibe iyunifomu yamapolisa aseSecurity.
Bendizimase uqhanqalazo kwi-White House ukusukela oko uJimmy Carter wayehlala apho kwaye ngolawulo ngalunye oluphumelelayo, indawo evunyelweyo yeengxoxo zezopolitiko iye yancitshiswa kwaye intetho yasimahla ebekade ikhuselwe yabemi ibiye isenziwa lulwaphulo-mthetho apho. Phantsi kukaTrump, isiqingatha sobubanzi bendlela yangaphambili kawonke-wonke phambi kwe-White House ibiyelwe, iperimeter engaphakathi ngoku egadiwe ngamagosa axhobe ngezixhobo ezizenzekelayo. I-Pennsylvania Avenue, kudala ivaliwe kwitrafikhi yezithuthi, ngoku ivaliwe kubahambi ngeenyawo xa kuboniswa umboniso. Eli qonga loluntu, indawo yoqhanqalazo kunye nenkxaso kwisithuba esingaphezu kwenkulungwane, indawo apho kwaphunyelelwa khona ivoti yabasetyhini kunye nezibonelelo zamagqala emfazwe, iye yakrwitshwa kangangokuba akukho ntlukwano inyanyezelwayo apho.
Sobahlanu sagqogqwa ngamandla saza sasiwa kwisikhululo samaPolisa kaMasipala weDC sasekuhlaleni apho safotwa khona, saprintwa ngeminwe saza satyholwa “ngokuwela umgca wamapolisa.” Abahlobo bam abane bakhululwa kwisikhululo emva kweeyure ezimbalwa kunye nomhla wokuvela enkundleni, njengesiqhelo kulwaphulo-mthetho oluncinci njengolwethu. Mna, kwelinye icala, ndatshintshelwa yiSecret Service kwiCentral Cellblock ukuze ndisiwe phambi kwejaji ngosuku olulandelayo.
Lo sajini wandixelela ukuba, ukuba bekuya kumaPolisa kaMasipala, bendiya kugoduka nabahlobo bam. Igunya elibambayo, nangona kunjalo, yayiyiNkonzo Yemfihlo kwaye babefuna ukuba ndibanjwe ngenxa yetyala elalibonakala libalaseleyo laseLas Vegas. KuTshazimpunzi ophelileyo, ndabanjwa kwiziko lokusebenzela inqwelomoya exhobileyo, iCreech Air Force Base eNevada, ngesityholo solwaphulo-mthetho lokuphazamisa uxolo. Igqwetha leSithili eLas Vegas lala ukundibeka nasiphi na isityholo (mhlawumbi ngenxa yokuba ndandiphazamisa imfazwe?) kodwa ijaji eyintloko yeNkundla yoBulungisa yaseLas Vegas (sic) yandibizela ukuba ndivele phambi kwayo ngoSeptemba 25 nangona kunjalo. Ndenze isicelo kwinkundla ukuba icacise kwaye ndafumana impendulo kwenye ijaji ukuba andinyanzelekanga ukuba ndivele xa ndiphendula lo msila wengwe. Ndikwafumene isaziso esisemthethweni kwi-ofisi ye-DA sokuba “bazimisele ukuba bangafaki simangalo ngokusesikweni ngeli xesha.” Kuyabonakala ukuba ijaji eyintloko ayizange isonwabe eso sigqibo yaza yagqiba ekubeni ithabathe indima yomtshutshisi ngokwayo yaza yakhupha incwadi egunyazisa ukuba ndibanjwe.
I-Central Cellblock yibhokisi eshushu exineneyo, enengxolo, apho bonke abo babanjiweyo babanjelwe ulwaphulo-mthetho olwahlukeneyo esixekweni baqokelelwa ukuze bavele enkundleni ngosuku olulandelayo. Ndandingomnye wamadoda angaphezu kwama-90 awayechitha imini evalelwe ngamatyathanga kwisisele ngesisele phakathi kwentolongo nenkundla. Kwaba, kwakukho omnye uLatino kunye nomfana osuka eMauritania, wonke umntu wase-Afrika waseMelika. Yayindim ndedwa umlungu owabanjwa kulo lonke elaseWashington, DC, ngoJanuwari 11 apho abasemagunyeni bakhetha ukuvalelwa entolongweni.
Emva kwemini yangoLwesihlanu iGqwetha laseUnited States lagqiba ekubeni “lingaweleli umgca wamapolisa” kuthi sobahlanu ndaza ndakhululwa ngaphambi kokuba ndiye enkundleni. Ukuba bendivele phambi kwejaji, urhulumente ngewayecele inkundla ukuba indibambe ukuze ndithunyelwe kwelinye ilizwe njengembacu kwezomthetho eNevada. Ukuba oku bekuvunyiwe, abasemagunyeni baseLas Vegas ngeba baneentsuku ezintathu zokuza kwa-DC ukuza kundilanda ukuba bebekhathala.
Kwiqela lethu elicwangcisa imicimbi ye-11 kaJanuwari, kwavela umbuzo malunga nokuba luncedo kokubeka umngcipheko wokubanjwa kwesi sizathu. Kum, ngaphaya kweenzuzo zobuchule, ngumba wobumbano. Kanye njengokuba sizila ukutya kangangeentsuku ezimbalwa njengesenzo esincinane sokwabelana ngokubandezeleka kwabazalwana baseGuantanamo kugwayimbo lokulamba, ngoko ukubanjwa neeyure ezimbalwa kwisisele sesikhululo samapolisa kunokusisondeza ekuqondeni ukuvalelwa kwabo ngokungekho sikweni. Iinjongo zam zazingaphezu kokuzaliseka kwesi sihlandlo! Ukunyanzeliswa kwentetho yamahhala phambi kweNdlu eNgcaciso yoMhlophe akukona ukuchithwa kwe-Arab Spring e-Bahrain kunye ne-Central Cellblock ayikho i-Abu Ghraib. Ukuthunyelwa kwam eLas Vegas akusiyo "uguqulelo olukhethekileyo" eJordan okanye eGuantanamo. Obu bubi, obuncinci okanye obukhulu, bonke bukhula ukusuka kwiingcambu ezifanayo zokuzikhukhumeza kobukhosi kwaye kwiindawo zethu ezahlukeneyo kunye neemeko, sikulo mzabalazo kunye.
