On Tuesday, 9 December 2025, at 09:30 (The Hague local time), Trial Chamber I of the International Criminal Court (ICC) delivered its sentencing judgment in the case of The Prosecutor v. Ali Muhammad Ali Abd-Al-Rahman (‘Ali Kushayb’) during a public hearing in Courtroom I at the seat of the Court.
Trial Chamber X of the International Criminal Court ("ICC" or "Court") sentenced Al Hassan Ag Abdoul Aziz Ag Mohamed Ag Mahmoud to 10 years of imprisonment following the Trial Judgment in which the Chamber found him guilty of some of the charges brought against him of war crimes and crimes against humanity committed between early May 2012 and 29 January 2013 in Timbuktu, northern Mali.
24 year-old Charly Pitman, of Brislington, Bristol, was found guilty of riot following a trial at Bristol Crown Court in April. On 7th July 2022 she was sentenced to three years in prison.
During her trial jurors heard how she positioned herself at the front of the crowd challenging police officers as they attempted to separate them from the neighbourhood police station.
They were shown footage of her acting aggressively towards the officers, striking their shields and helmets, and were told her actions caused them and others to fear for their safety.
Judge Julian Lambert said Pitman made a conscious decision not to leave the riot and encouraged others to attack police officers. He added jurors decided quickly there was ‘no basis for self-defence’, as Pitman had claimed during the trial.
Including Pitman, those jailed for offences committed during the riot have been imprisoned for a combined total of 74 years and nine months.

“Fear not the sentence of death, remember them that have been before thee, and that come after; for this is the sentence of the Lord over all flesh.” (Ecclesiasticus 41:3)

for women who forget their limits and demand freedom and equality. Marriage with ones rapist is nothing but a life sentence of daily rape for the victim. Rather than punishing the rapist and putting him behind bars, the emphasis is on putting women back behind the same prison-bars of patriarchy that they have begun to break down! .
Political Proponents of Patriarchy .
The need to control womens sexual freedom arose from class societys need to ensure the transfer of property from father to legitimate son, and to ensure that domestic labour (the care of the young and the sick) remain the job of women. In India, control of womens sexuality (banning inter-caste marriage, for instance) was a crucial way of perpetuating caste hierarchies and ensuring the caste-based division of labour. With the growth of capitalism, feudal forms of womens oppression gave way somewhat; but newer ways of exploiting and commodifying womens sexuality, and continuing womens domestic slavery, developed. In our country, both feudal oppression and capitalist commodification coexist. With the womens movement all over the world, and in India too, women began to assert their rights, and this movement linked itself with the struggle of the dalits against casteism, against racism, of peasantry against feudalism and workers against capitalism. In reaction to such movements, there has been an organised political backlash, seeking to re-establish the acceptance and consent for feudal and patriarchal values. In India, at the forefront of the assault on womens movements have been the Sangh Parivar (the RSS, BJP, ABVP, etc). .
.
Ambedkar, maker of Indias Constitution, had mobilised people to burn the Manusmriti, as it is the notorious fountainhead of Brahmanical patriarchy, full of obnoxious anti-dalit and anti-women laws. But Golwalkar, the founder of the RSS, held that Manu was the first and greatest lawgiver of the world, and suggested that the Manusmriti should be the Constitution of Independent India! .
.
.
Golwalkar also led the Sangh in opposing the Hindu Code Bill (which was the first but incomplete step towards giving Hindu women equal rights to men), claiming that granting of rights to women would cause great psychological upheaval to men and lead to mental disease and distress. (see Paula Bacchetta, Gender in the Hindu Nation: RSS Women as Ideologues, p.124). .

On Sati: It is the fundamental right of Hindu women to commit sati, as it is in preservation of our past glory and culture. -Late BJP leader Vijaya Raje Scindia .

In a interview, VHP womens wing leader Krishna Sharma defended wife-beating in the following words: Dont parents admonish their children for misbehaviour? ...a wife must act keeping in mind her husbands moods and must avoid irritating him...if she learns to stifle her screams, the matter will remain within the four walls of the house. Otherwise every house will become a Mahabharat. ( Tanika Sarkar and Urvashi Butalia ed. Women and the Hindu Right, 1995, p. 332-3) .

The ABVP regularly conducts campaigns to ban jeans for women and beats up couples celebrating Valentines Day. The RSS has threatened to cut off the nose of Hindu girls with Muslim boyfriends or husbands. .

CPI(M) Tarnishing the Lefts Record: Political Manipulation of Patriarchal Common Sense .
The Left movement in India has, no doubt, been at the forefront of mobilizing women for equality and rights. This admirable record, however, is tarnished by the CPI(M) (SFIs parent party), which has on several occasions cynically used patriarchal prejudices in order to consolidate its own political power. Consider the following instances: .
.
In 1993, Shubhankar Chakravarty, Principal of Ashutosh College, Kolkata, punished a girl student for wearing a salwar-kameez, which he said went against Bengali culture. Later as the VC of Rabindra Bharati University he imposed a ban on women and men students moving together in the campus. He was rewarded for such anti-woman attitudes with a Lok Sabha ticket from the CPI(M). .
.
.
In 2002, SFI assaulted girls in Rabindra Bharati University who were wearing jeans, in defence of dress code of sarees. .
.
.
In CPI(M)-ruled Tripura last year, CPI(M) cadres as well as Army men protected by the Armed Forces (Special Powers) Act, raped tribal women. The CPI(M)-appointed Tripura Womens Commission Chairperson Champa Dasguptas reaction: Rape is no problem in tribal society. .
