The Antiwar Facebook Comment Which Got A 19 Year Old Student Arrested [Pic]

Chris | InformationLiberation

This tame Facebook comment got a 19-year-old student arrested in the United Kingdom.

Azhar Ahmed, 19, is said to have posted the comments on his profile page and has been charged with a racially aggravated public order offence.

A West Yorkshire Police spokesman said Ahmed, of Fir Avenue, Ravensthorpe, was criticising the level of attention the British soldiers who died in a bomb blast received compared to Afghan civilians who have died in the war.

The spokesman said: "He didn't make his point very well and that is why he has landed himself in bother."

What point is made by arresting someone for exercising free speech?

His English could use some work but it's clear there is nothing to the police charges. Britgov simply wants to make an example of a moral man speaking his peace.

US troops and their proxies are murdering middle eastern civilians. Missile drone drivers and their chain-of-command are murdering middle eastern civilians. A berzerker crew murdered middle eastern civilians. Western politicians are murdering middle eastern civilians.

Their is no difference, *none*, in any of the above groups. They all deserve to be put on trial for crimes-against-humanity.
