Nixon — who is reprising her iconic role as Miranda Hobbes on the “Sex and...

Pakistan arrested Abdul and Mohammed Rabbani on suspicion of links to al-Qaida in 2002 in Karachi, the country’s southern port and largest city. That same year, Ramzi Binalshibh, a top al-Qaida leader, was arrested by Pakistan’s spy agency Inter-Services Intelligence on a tip from the CIA. The Rabbanis’ releases come months after a 75-year-old Pakistani, Saifullah Paracha, was freed from Guantanamo. The Foreign Ministry later Friday released a statement...

Palestinian Prisoners Society head Kadora Fares emphasized that...

She said the next hunger strike will be "a lot bigger" than the 15-day one organized in December. "Nationwide hunger-striking, more than likely,"...

In common with the people of Pakistan, Americans have a rich history of peaceful protest when their government strays from its proper purpose. We remember the civil rights movement, the Vietnam War demonstrations and the millions who turn out on the Mall in Washington for any important issue. Today, I am writing about another peaceful protest — that of a fellow Pakistani citizen who has had his rights stripped from him, Guantanamo Bay detainee Ahmed Rabbani. Ahmed’s family originally come from the persecuted Burmese Rohingya; he is a rather humble taxi driver from Karachi, Pakistan. In 2002, he was sold...

Fatah leader and archterrorist Marwan Barghouti, who led a mass hunger strike of terrorist prisoners which ended this week, on Tuesday threatened to renew the hunger strike if the Israel Prison Service (IPS) fails to keep the promises it made to the terrorists.

Barghouti keeps convincing his fellow terrorists to go on hunger strikes for him, while he tells them he will be doing the same for their shared cause. In this case the cause is more cable TV channels, extra family visit time, and the right to earn advanced Israeli university degrees In reality, when Barghouti thinks no one is watching, he’s busy noshing. After Barghouti instigated this latest hunger strike he was placed in solitary confinement, and unbeknownst to him, the IPS (Israel Prison Services) placed hidden cameras...

Most union-busting techniques are explicit, like legal challenges and anti-union campaigning. But when all else fails, go for the gut. Yale University's local College Republicans chapter held a barbecue on Friday near the fasting site of campus union organizers participating in a hunger strike directed against the university. Bragging about the wafting, delicious smells on Facebook, it appears to have been a move to torment the fasting grad students, who have thus far gone days without food in a protest for their worker's rights struggle. "It'll taste (and smell) delicious!" the event description said on Facebook. The tactic drew comparisons...
