Summarily executing alleged drug pushers on Caribbean boats without due process violates international human rights law (e.g., ICCPR Article 6), maritime conventions, and national constitutions. It’s extrajudicial killing, risking piracy charges under UNCLOS, with no legal justification.

No Kings means no thrones, no crowns. If we did have a king, it wouldn't be motherfucking King Krasnov.

On Oct 18, we march for democracy.
150 people who oppose this regime. Follow all and share so we can connect. That is our greatest power.
