Civil society must persuade the freakish blogbusters of the enemies of internet to stop persecuting and robbing dissident bloggers. The enemies of internet are Bahrain, Belarus, Burma, China, Cuba, Egypt, Greece, Iran, North Korea, Saudi Arabia, Syria, Turkey, Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan, and Vietnam.
Stupidities, such as SOPA, PIPA, CISPA, and ACTA, encourage freakish governments, such as the brutal governments of Bahrain and Greece. On October 18, 2010, the Greek government stole my computer and my life at gunpoint. Mr. Papademos, bring my computer back! Enough is enough! Needless to say, I also demand my life back. Greece, the bully of blogosphere, has crossed the Rubicon against civility, terrorizing and robbing dissident bloggers. http://venitism.blogspot.com
Giving SOPA, PIPA, CISPA, and ACTA to blogbusters is giving gin to alcoholics! Blogbusters galore! Freak! Freak! Freak! The freakish government of Greece, the most corrupt country in Occident, steals computers! Robbing dissident bloggers and locking them in jail is a freakish behavior that does not belong to the European Union, not even to this galaxy! No wonder some vain Greeks boast they come from Andromeda galaxy!
We call on the government of Bahrain to immediately and unconditionally release dissident blogger Abdulhadi Alkhawaja, whose life is now in grave danger as he enters the 63rd day of his hunger strike, begun in protest at his detention and treatment.
We call for his urgent release on humanitarian grounds, and in conformity to the findings and recommendations of the Bahrain Independent Commission of Inquiry (BICI).
If Abdulhadi Alkhawaja is not released and dies in prison, the Bahrain government will signal a total failure of political will in addressing the human rights violations that occurred in 2011. This would further alienate the already fragile trust of opposition groups and instigate a dangerous collapse of civil society. Alkhawaja is deeply revered and respected by much of the population of Bahrain, as well as the wider region and world. His death could dangerously inflame national tensions which are already escalating.
Alkhawaja was arrested on 8 April 2011 and subjected to cruel and abusive treatment by government employees. A forensic team working for the BICI team investigated his case.
The BICI team found that his jaw was broken immediately after the arrest which required major surgery to heal. In hospital he was blindfolded the whole time and handcuffed to the bed with tight cuffs. He was discharged from hospital, against the recommendations of his doctor, and placed in solitary confinement in a small cell where there was no fresh air. He experienced regular beatings at night, sexual assault and other torture.
Alkhawaja was tried before a military tribunal and given a life sentence for allegedly conspiring to overthrow the Bahrain government. Both his trial and subsequent appeal, which was also heard before a military tribunal, have been heavily criticised by major human rights and legal organisations. The BICI further found that after he was sentenced, he was beaten by guards. The findings of the BICI report were also very critical of the quality of the justice Alkhawaja received.
In October of 2010, an unknown American, member of Crystal Clear Forum, an American Yahoo Group, used as pseudonym the name of Mariliza Xenogiannakopoulou, Alternate Minister of Foreign Affairs of Greece, to post a single message about Turkey. The unknown American did not violate any law because, according to the Supreme Court of USA, anybody can use any pseudonym or pen name. For example, thousands of people use Obama's name as a pseudonym. It's considered an honor, not a forgery. http://venitism.blogspot.com
Only spoofing is forgery. The unknown American would have used spoofing if she used Xenogiannakopoulou's email which is marilxen@gmail.com. Instead she used mariliza.xenogiannakopoulou@yahoo.com which is not Xenogiannakopoulou's email. The unknown American posted on http://groups.yahoo.com/group/crystalclearforum with her pseudonym using a kind of literature called Lyric Essay, which uses emotion and color to enlighten a message.
Some malevolent blogbusters misinformed Xenogiannakopoulou that the culprit was I, Basil Venitis, just because my name was mentioned in the post! As a result of this misinformation, on October 18, 2010, a gang of six brutal cybercops of the violent Greek Cyber Crime Unit (CCU) broke into my home in Athens and into my college office, and stole my computers, software, files, documents, and personal data.
The cybercops locked me in jail for a night, they humiliated me with handcuffs, fingerprints, mug shots, and lies, leaked false information to the media parrots, and the Greek government initiated sham court proceedings for a stack of charges, including forgery and treason! There was neither pillow nor toilet facility in my jail cell. I had to urinate in a bottle! I, a 65 year old with heart problems, was not allowed to keep my hypertension pills with me. There was neither toilet paper nor soap in the whole CCU jail facility.
But that's not the end of the story. My nerves are broken by no accuser showing up during my court trial! The judge always has to postpone the trial for another day and so it goes ad infinitum. Meanwhile, I always have to show up and waste the whole day waiting as there is no definite timing for the hearing, but only a day. I and my lawyer have to be in the courtroom the whole day until the judge calls my name. Then the judge calls the name of the accuser, nobody replies, and the judge postpones the trial for another day. This has happened five times so far! This is a real Greek tragedy! Justice delayed is no justice, justice perpetuated is hell.
JAILBIRD FOR A NIGHT

Big brother checks the internet
For things you criticize
To shut your mouth on the net
To shut your mind on the sky.
Cops busted my home
And stole my computer
Hard disk on their comb
blogger on their mooter.
They threw me in jail
For speaking my mind
My words are out of jail
Revolting in a kind.
This jail is awful
Without pillow alone
Urinating in a bottle
And the girl next cell begins to moan.
Screaming in the dark of jail
Guards pretending they are deaf
She is a girl, she is frail
She is missing her Jeff.
I can smile at the old days,
I was a handsome professor then.
Those were real happy days
Happy memory lives again.
Lesmiserables in jail
Kleptocrats out of jail
This is hell on Earth
It's shame and pain.
Time for a real revolt
To bring a real change
To bring the looting to a halt
Kleptocrats should not escape.
Kleptocrats must be laughing
Premier must be happy,
This is stupid and disgusting,
Government has a party.
Harmglads sleeping before dawn
Silence cut with a cry
Jailbird could be reborn
Coming back to a happy life.
My memory leads me
Finding strength within
People really love me
A new life should begin.
Waiting for the sunrise
Thinking of a new life
I mustn't give in
A new day will begin.
