The British government sounded a stern warning to, what it termed “human rights violators in the world” by announcing travel bans and freezing of assets of 11 Russian, Venezuelan, Gambian and Pakistani politicians and officials, on December 10, which marked International Human Rights Day.
Announcing the sanctions, British Foreign Secretary Dominic Raab said, “Today’s sanctions send a clear message to human rights violators that the UK will hold them to account.
“The UK and our allies are shining a light on the severe and systematic human rights violations perpetrated by those sanctioned today. Globally Britain will stand up for democracy, human rights and the rule of law as a force for good in the world.”

Islamabad : It was after a long time that an act of terror happened in Rawalpindi in PirWadhai Bus Stand, quite close to the Inter-Junction Principal (IJP) Road, dividing federal capital from the province of the Punjab.
Besides the foreign funded acts of insurgency in Balochistan, which are continuing despite best efforts of the intelligence organisations backed by the law enforcing agencies (LEAs), this blast in Rawalpindi, that resulted in one unfortunate death and injuries to seven others, is indeed needed to be taken very seriously.
The warnings against possible occurrence of such acts of terror issued quite so often by the intelligence agencies have always been there.

Retired Senior Superintendent of Police, Reneto Adams, says he is not inviting the Jamaican Government to respond to the United States decision to ban him from travelling to that country. I don t know if the Government wants to respond. I don t want them to respond personally, the once feared crime-fighter told Loop News on Saturday.
Adams is among 17 officials and family members of foreign governments who have been blacklisted for what United States Secretary of State, Mike Pompeo, has described as “gross violations of human rights”.
In reacting to the decision, Adams said he was surprised that the US is claiming that he breached people s rights .
