Hillary Clinton blasted by human rights activists

Former Secretary of StateHillary Clintons record on human rights came under harsh criticism in Geneva, Switzerland, last week as political dissidents and pro-democracy activists gathered at a conference ahead of the United Nations Human Rights Councils annual session.

Clintonhas been praised for her role in negotiating U.S. asylum for Chinese dissident Chen Guangcheng, and she received the Lantos Foundation Human Rights award for her proclamations on womens rights and her pioneering work on Internet freedom.

However, activists at the Geneva Summit on Human Rights and Democracy, hosted last week by United Nations watchdog group UN Watch, gave a very different assessment of the former secretary of state, telling theWashington Free Beaconthat she was silent and passive on some of the most pressing human rights issues during her tenure at the State Department.

Naghmeh Abedini, the wife of an American Christian pastor who has been imprisoned in Iran since the summer of 2012, said the State Department under Clinton all but ignored her husbands case, and did not take an active role until Secretary of State John Kerry took over last year.

For Hillary Clinton to have been completely silent, and not have done anything when my husband was taken, and knowing it was strictly on a human rights issue, really bothered me because I expected otherwise from my government, Abedini said.

She said she first contacted the State Department in August 2012, days after her husbandSaeed Abediniwas detained in Tehran. The Christian pastor, who was in Iran to help build an orphanage, was later sentenced to eight years in prison on religion-related charges.

It was just very cold, Abedini said about her initial call to the State Department. [One official] said Were not Hollywoodwe cant just fly in there and save people.

She said Clinton and State Department officials brushed off phone calls and letters from her attorneys and members of Congress for months.

We received nothing, no movement, no comments, nothing until March [2013], and Kerry was the first to say something, Abedini said.

From the first phone call I expected movement, she added. I didnt expect nothing. Somewhere along the line I felt like the message I was getting from them was, We dont want to ruffle feathers [with Iran], we want to focus on the nuclear [issue].

Column: If Hillary Clinton Doesnt Run, Who Will?

Washington

If Hillary Clinton doesnt run for the Democratic presidential nomination in 2016 and theres 1 chance in 5 of that the party could have a nervous breakdown.

On the national level, the Democratic bench is weaker, or more overshadowed, than at any time in the past several decades. There are several reasons. The election disaster in 2010 wiped out many possibilities, especially at the gubernatorial level. More important, with two heavyweight camps President Barack Obama and the Clintons there is no political oxygen for anyone else.

Suppose, for example, that upon taking over as secretary of state, Clinton had declared that she wouldnt run for elective office again. The field might look much different today.

For one, several ambitious female Democrats might be dipping their toes in the presidential waters: for example, Sens. Amy Klobuchar of Minnesota or Kirsten Gillibrand of New York. Now, the Democratic political sisterhood is completely vested in Hillary.

This sense that America is overdue to elect a woman is powerful and extends even beyond its borders.

Im optimistic Ill live to see a female president of the United States, former Australian Prime Minister Julia Gillard said in an interview last week.

If Clinton doesnt run, the focus will be on 71-year-old Vice President Joe Biden, who is personally popular with Democrats. But his two previous presidential runs crashed, and in 2016 he would be older than Ronald Reagan was when he was re- elected in 1984.

Most of the passion in the party would center on Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren. Her brainy populism puts her more in sync with party activists and most voters than any other major figure, including Clinton. But shes a political neophyte 2012 was her first campaign and she has expressed doubts privately about whether she would be comfortable with a national run at this stage.

Other women certainly might jump in if Clinton is out. So, too, could New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo, testing whether his brand can fly outside the Empire State.
