What I find rather amusing is how much not only the inference but even the facts vary.

Only a day or two ago it was:

"... but the 14 year believes the shot was fire by teenagers who were uninvolved in the protest."

 

Now that Amnesty International are involved, that's become:

" ... he can’t be sure the bullet was fired by police, adding that it may have come from a group of teenagers near the scene."

 

Rather more than just semantics!

Interesting post @Poolie  you obviously don’t think Amnesty International look to stand up for and protect the UN convention on Human Rights? Or is there another reason for not supporting their actions? Maybe you feel they are too aligned to Western governments and hence seen as a political movement?

No worries the kid was shot in the neck with a BULLET according to the hospital, but all done to those international standards, along with tear gas canisters fired directly at crowds and water canon laced with chemicals

Would you like to say why that is? It’s non governmental and hence I’d have thought more independent?

Human rights are a universal right for all humans on the planet earth and not negoatiable. I am happy there are human rights organisation in the world to watch slavery, kids abuse, tortures or any other horrible things in this world. But with your statement you show us your mindset and how horrible such mindsets are I will not say here. But this generation no more accept this human abusing and feudalism and they are defintly the future and their intelect is really much higher than of the most who comment. I saw a few days ago a young guy with a shirt " you mess with the wrong generation" . If I compare their generations knowledge, I really have to agree with him.

No. Too many 'internet intellectuals' here to share the truth.
