La bandiera cinese svetta sul Tibet's Potala Palace
11/29/2006 Continua la repressione da parte delle autorità di Pechino nei confronti dei leader religiosi delle confessioni non omologate al regime. Nei giorni scorsi tre leader protestanti cinesi sono giustiziati di nascosto e senza prove - informa Asianews. I tre leader - Xu Shuangfu (60 anni), Li Maoxing (55) e Wang Jun (36) - sono stati uccisi in un carcere della provincia orientale dell’Heilongjiang: le autorità hanno chiamato i familiari solo dopo l’esecuzione per far ritirare le ceneri. E sempre l'agenzia Asianews riporta che il monaco tibetano Sonam Gyalpo è stato condannato a 12 anni di carcere per “procurato pericolo alla sicurezza statale”. E oggi due vescovi cattolici sono stati sequestrati per obbligarli a partecipare all’ordinazione episcopale che avverrà domani a Xuzhou (Jiangsu), senza il permesso della Santa Sede: i due vescovi sono della Chiesa ufficiale fedele al regime, ma le loro ordinazioni erano state approvate dal Vaticano.

Sudanin presidentti Omer al-Bashir
11/28/2006 "Jos Sudanin presidentti ei ryhdy toimiin Darfurissa meneillään olevan verilöylyn lopettamiseksi, hänen täytyy vastata teoistaan sotatuomioistuimessa", totesi korkea-arvoinen Ison-Britannian diplomaatti viime viikolla. "Jos hirmuteot jatkuvat, se johtuu ainoastaan siitä, ettei maan hallitus ole halunnut suojella kansalaisiaan."

11/28/2006 Today, civil society is indeed active and vibrant but that is largely on account of individual drive and concern. We talk of public-private partnerships to build roads and highways, establish power stations and ports. Why not public-civil society alliances in areas of social infrastructure? Ms. Gandhi said at the World Economic Forum meet.

11/27/2006 U ponedjeljak 20. 11. zagrebački je Radio 101 u emisiji "Zagrebački odrezak" emitirao prilog o "Danima srpske kulture" koje je od 21. 11. organiziralo Srpsko kulturno društvo Prosvjeta. Činjenica da je navedena manifestacija organizirana samo tri dana nakon obilježavanja petnaeste godišnjice zločina na Ovčari, navela je autora / autoricu priloga da SKD Prosvjeta izravno poveže s počiniteljima zločina, sugerirajući kako je svako javno djelovanje građana srpske nacionalnosti u ovo vrijeme politička provokacija.

11/27/2006 Un ragazzo autistico di Torino viene maltrattato e il suo video va su Internet. Il Ministro dice: "Non possono esserci due pesi e due misure, uno per carta stampata e tv e uno per la rete Internet. Il rispetto della dignità umana è uno solo". "Ma è così che si sradicherà il bullismo e la violenza?" - chiede Alessandro Marescotti in un editoriale di Paecelink. "Quindici anni fa, con alcune persone che amano la libertà e credono nel valore della nonviolenza, ho fondato PeaceLink, una rete telematica per la pace. Chi le scrive pertanto è strutturalmente contrario ad ogni tipo violenza, tanto alla guerra di invasione quanto al bullismo nella vita quotidiana. Ripudio ogni sofferenza inflitta a un'altra persona. Mi sono quindi naturalmente indignato di fronte ai video diffusi su Internet che riprendono un ragazzo autistico subire ripugnanti soprusi in un istituto tecnico superiore di Torino. Tuttavia la terapia che è stata scelta - ossia inquisire i rappresentanti di Google Italia - mi sembra peggiore del male che si vuole curare.

Nepalilainen kylä
11/22/2006 Nepal, "Himalajan tytär", on vihdoin muuttumassa maaksi, jossa valtaa pitää kansa. Vallassa on nyt seitsemän tärkeimmän puolueen liitto ja maolaiset, jotka ovat hiljattain lupautuneet luovuttamaan aseensa. Edessä on kuitenkin paljon haasteita. Nyt on pidettävä huoli siitä, että nepalilaiset tottuvat demokratian käytäntöihin. Edustuksellisuuteen on opeteltava kylien tasolta alkaen.
