Non-Americans of Lemmy, what does your country do to protect the rights of criminal defendants?
  • Brazil here.

    The underage can't have their image and names disclosed in any way. The whole ordeal, both in administrative and judicial instances are kept in secret to not disclose their identities. That goes on even after the punishment is over.

    Handcuffs shall only be used on a justified basis (risk of escape or violent subject), and it should be and exception. The non compliance by the state is subjected to investigation.

    The ones who are in charge for their families and there's young kids to be taken care of, are sent home to care for the kiddos (if it wasn't a violent crime and it wasn't against the kids) - that's a way to not punish the kids for the existence of an ongoing investigation over the ones who take care of them. I'm explaining this one pretty plainly, but that's the spirit.

    The accused don't have to say anything and that can't be held against him in any way.

    The confession be the accused is not taken as definitive, it's just another detail to the process, and it can be dismissed if the other evidences say otherwise. (It can be deemed as the crime of meddling with the due process, thought, so if an innocent person confess a crime he didn't do, they won't be condemned by that one, but for another crime, with a 3 month to 2 years detention)

    It's preferred if the accused can await in freedom for the result of the judicial process that may lead to their imprisonment. There are a few measures to grant their compliance to the process.

    There may be others I'm forgetting

  • Anti-Zionist views are 'worthy of respect', UK judge says
  • About 10 years ago I first heard about zionism as an ethnic supremacist movement from a jew. I had no opinion on it whatsoever, and decided to ask this friend of mine exactly because he was Jewish. I was curious about history and t religion, which he is knowledgeable about, and the subject went on middle east and Israel. He didn't recognize Israel as an legitimate estate and was horrified by Israel actions against humans rights - surprisingly, including against black jews.

    That was a pretty solid ground for me to understand that Israel isn't "the jews", even though it is a (white) jewish based supremacist ethnoestate, just as much as the nazi Germany isn't "the caucasians".

    It IS, thought, a state structure with colonizing domination plans, which happen to use ethnicity as a legitimizing card.

  • This is a thought experiment "Ball on a Table" for detecting whether someone has Aphantasia. What do you see when you perform this experiment?
  • My ball was gray, too. With no details whatsoever, just shading. In the edge of the table, a hand came from the left of the camera view with its index finger stretched out and poked the ball, which rolled a few inches and stopped (while in other faded versions of it the ball fell off the table or rolled further over the table surface)
