I have just watched the following video on YouTube:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4K16S4ZA2Og

A group of Turkish men in Rize (a city in the Turkish Black Sea Region) torture a Georgian woman and threaten to bury her alive. And guess what her crime is: She refuses to be a sex worker. The woman begs to the monsters.

As far as it is explained in the news today, those monsters were captured and one them was already released.

I have also found this article online:

I wish I knew more on this subject but based on what I do know, the best measure to decrease human trafficking was what was done in Sweden, which was criminalizing the men who used women for sex and decriminalizing women who are involved in the sex industry. I think that every man who in any way is even thinking it possible to have sex with another person for money or without a consent should feel guilty as being the source of this problem. This problem exists because of men´s attitudes towards women.

come on, what did the sisters/mothers do to torture them?? this is like an ancient way of serving justice where the communities/families would collectively bear responsibility of an individual´s crimes. 

this is a very complicated problem that has to do with economic inequalities between different countries and economic inequalities between women and men as well as the overarching system of patriarchy where women are treated as sex objects and stripped off of their humanity. 

it´s impossible to fix the global economies. the solution must lie at the level of criminalizing the source of the problem - obviously traffickers and the men who use women for sex. there must also be a thoughtful conversation about the role of socialization and sexual education to young children.

catwoman: please read what I have written very carefully. I do not blame their families.

I am not saying that their families should be punished.

I am just saying those same men, who torture other women, should be very protective of their sisters and mothers.

And this not an ancinet way at all. This is called emphaty. I have heard the same thing many times in the American reality shows.

 

Please try to understand carefully what people say before you criticize them.

Hosamedi - I am not criticizing you, I see your point, I´m sorry if you felt like it was directed towards you, please accept my apologies. I think we both cannot understand how a human being may be capable of committing such horrific acts of violence towards other people and may be so devoid of empathy. I don´t think these criminals care about their families (mothers/sisters) at all. They are animals.

It´s true, some people have no empathy or compassion for others at all. It´s hard for some of us to understand such a thing, but there are those who put on a good show, but in reality are psychopathic personalities, or some derivitive thereof. 

They are dangerous and very often seductive people.

Sadly, such things happen everyplace in the world. This is not unique to Turkey, or I would guess, not even particularly larger problem in there than other places. From what I can surmise, this is anti Turkish propaganda pure and simple.

Human trafficking is a serious problem. Sometimes they want your organs, others use of your private parts, your labor....it happens everyplace in the world. Of course, some places we have no statistics at all. Like Chinese prisoners....

In watching the video, the grave they are putting her in seems to be very shallow indeed. One could prety much shake the soil off their body. That is, of course, given they are conscious at the time. It would appear feigning unconsciousness, as when one is surrounded by predators like this, putting her head down and creating an air pocket would be a smart thing to do, if one found themselves in such a dire situation.

The criminal which attacked 5 old fragile Turkish ladies of Armenian origin, killing one to grasp her purse, has been apprehended by Turkish police.

The offender turned out to be a citizen of Armenian ethnic origin as well. People in this mainly Armenian neighborhood expressed their pleasure to find out that the assaults were not motivated by any ethnic friction.

Do you believe every video you watch ?

Why do you hide your own country ?

I do not care what origin the attackers are because it can be considred racial profiling, what is more troublesome is how one human being can treat another, it has nothing to do with his or her origins, it is still 1 human being assaulting another. 

I am pretty sure that if their sister or mother were treated in that fashion they would be the first to scream at the injustice and cruelty of the act but since the person who is attacked, abused or taken advantege of is not related to them then it is acceptable.

What are you talking about stumpy ? Are you drinking something?

A respectable murderer of Armenian ethnic origin picked up on old ladies of Armenian origin in his own familiar neighborhood.

Until police aprehended the offender, other Armenian residents of the neighborhood were worried that there may be etnic reasons behind this obvious choice of Armenian ladies; now they know better.

Now tell me who is considering the affair acceptable because "the person who is abused or taken advantege of is not related to them then".

 

STOP DRINKING WATER with FLOURIDE, STUMPY.

why is it SO important to say the murderer was Armenian and his victims were Armenian?  Does it make the murder more or less gruessome and vile? A human killed another human, that is it, let say the murderer was a black man and he killed an Armenian woman? How would you say it?  A black killed a white?  A nigger killed a honkey?  How would you say it?

Oh by the way, instead of screaming at me to stop drinking florinated water read again what I wrote becaue it seems you cannot read and scream at the same time...

I said that the men that are attacking and abusing those women would be the first ones to scream at injustice if it were their mothers or sisters getting treated that way but it is acceptable to those same men because the women they are doing those attroceties to are not their blood relation.  And yes there are some men who would do those same attroceties to their own mother and sisters.

So like I said, ethinic backround has nothing to do with it, it is humans being cruel and acting like animals towards other humans.

You dont have a clue stumpy, do you?

- Murder is bad,

- ethnic origin of the murderers or victims does not make a difference.

That the murderer turned out to be of Armenian origin, in this case, is sadly comforting to Armenians living in the same neighborhood,  because they now know they are not facing a herd of blood thirsty Turks with ethnic problems, sworn to kill every old Armenian lady in the neighborhood.

It turned out that the murderer was a one off lazy Armenian murderer. He is caught. End of serial assaults.   SOUR but HAPPY END !

There will be no more explanations from me. You better understand what I am talking about !

no use commenting as your mind is set and closed, seems that you need to put an ethnic tag on everything and it blinds you to the fact that I just said murder is a vile act

In this case it is very relevent, as had the killer not been a "fellow" Armenian it well could have spawned yet more ethnic tension....and been used as yet another "example" of mad murderous Turks going after innocent Armenians."
