and Libya, who went on to commit horrific human rights violations including
slavery, torture, mass murder and rape.

aid to Israel, Turkey, Indonesia, Saudi Arabia and other human rights
violators, despite the fact that these recipients are using it to occupy and
repress millions of Palestinians, Kurds, West Papuans and Yemenis and people in
other parts of the world.

Honduras in which the military toppled a democratically elected president, and
then went on to arrest, torture and terrorize his supporters and other
political opponents. Hundreds of Honduran human rights activists have been
murdered in 2010 alone.The Obama administration advocated that the regime be
allowed re-entry to the Organization of American States (OAS) and provided the
Honduran military and police with training and weapons.

poverty under Obama’s administration rose by 3.3 million from 2008 to 2016. In
