The goal is always the same, though: To use #prisoners’ bodies as weapons of political war & to do so against their will.
This is what evil, #illiberal regimes do.
Liberal regimes have standards for the treatment of prisoners. These standards are codified under the #GenevaConventions, which the #UnitedStates has signed & ratified.
Among the standards dictated by the Geneva Conventions is this: Prisoners may not be publicly exploited for purposes of #propaganda.
The use of #prisoners for #propaganda is as old as war itself. But there are a few recent examples you may recall. ISIS made extensive use of videos & pictures of imprisonment & execution. The Viet Cong & North Vietnamese alternated their approach. Sometimes they used American POWs as props to suggest that all was well in their camps & prisoners were being treated properly. (They were not.) Other times, they used images of American prisoners as tools to spread #fear.…

#Zelensky of #Ukraine on Tuesday offered a course of action that he said could end the #war, while trying to assure the #Trump administration that his government was dedicated to peace. The Ukrainian leader said he was ready to release #Russian #prisoners of war, stop long-range drone and missile strikes aimed at Russian targets, and declare a truce at sea immediately — moves that he said would help establish a pathway to #peace. #war #trump #russia #drones #politics https://www.nytimes.com/2025/03/04/world/europe/ukraine-us-trump-military-support.html

“No #prisoners involved!”
“Normal number of #WorkingHours each week!”
“No #lead!”
#SNL ’s latest skit playfully and adeptly made light of the dubious circumstances surrounding offshore #apparel juggernauts’ ultra-fast #SupplyChains and impossibly low MSRPs. It also highlighted the slick #advertising tactics firms have employed in order to pull the wool (or more likely, polyester) over the eyes of trend-obsessed, discount-hungry American shoppers.
