The greatest human rights violations take place in the legal system. It was Adolf Hitler\u2019s notorious court that everyone said violated human right because it had a 90% conviction rate against people accused of being Jewish. Well Ireland, like the United States, has surpassed Adolf Hitler.\u00a0Sexual offenses have the lowest conviction rates in Ireland\u2019s circuit courts because it requires proof. The\u00a0<b>89%<\/b>\u00a0conviction rate for sexual offenses in Ireland\u2019s circuit courts compares with\u00a0<b>100%<\/b>\u00a0for fatal offenses,\u00a0<b>98%<\/b>\u00a0for offenses against property such as burglary and theft, and\u00a0<b>93%<\/b>\u00a0for road traffic offenses.

Maximinus engaged in legal persecution.\u00a0He charged a noted Senator by the name of Magnus, with conspiracy against the emperor, found him guilty, executed him, and then arrested 4,000 others claiming they all conspired with him to intend to depose him. He then used the criminal law to claim they committed a crime of conspiracy, and that, of course, justified confiscating all their property as well.<\/p>\n<p>\u2026click on the above link to read the rest of the article\u2026<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How Gov\u2019t Violates Human Rights using Conspiracy Theory Ireland is now claiming it needs to pass the Magnitsky Act to defend human rights.
