Desperation and hope among Misratah’s wounded

Charlotte_K — Wed, 11 May 2011 15:56:32 +0100

Hanan Mohamed had sustained multiple shrapnel injuries to both legs, as well as her right arm. She was relatively lucky; three of her relatives were killed when her home in the Garara area was hit by several projectiles which she believes to be Grad rockets, on 28 March. Hanan told Amnesty International that she had just finished her afternoon prayer, when she heard an explosion.

Burma law formally bars Aung San Suu Kyi from election

DrPot — Wed, 10 Mar 2010 09:58:27 +0000

Burma has issued a law which will bar pro-democracy leader Aung San Suu Kyi from taking part in planned elections and could force her party to expel her.
The new law prohibits anyone with a criminal conviction from belonging to a political party.
Ms Suu Kyi has been detained on various charges for most of the past 20 years, after winning the last polls in 1990.
She was already excluded from political office by a constitutional bar on people with foreign spouses.

My dear husband Liu Xiaobo, the writer China has put behind bars | World news | The Observer

DrPot — Sun, 28 Feb 2010 22:51:13 +0000

Liu Xia's wedding day in 1996 turned out to be good preparation for the following 14 years of married life. She and her groom, Liu Xiaobo, ate a modest celebratory lunch with relatives. Then she returned home, leaving her new husband to continue serving his sentence in the re-education-through-labour camp.
It does not sound like much of a wedding, but the poet still smiles when she thinks of it. "I was very happy," she says, "because once we were officially married I could visit him."

Rachel Corrie's family bring civil suit over human shield's death in Gaza | World news | guardian.co.uk

The family of the American activist Rachel Corrie, who was killed by an Israeli army bulldozer in Gaza seven years ago, is to bring a civil suit over her death against the Israeli defence ministry.
The case, which begins on 10 March in Haifa, northern Israel, is seen by her parents as an opportunity to put on public record the events that led to their daughter's death in March 2003. Four key witnesses – three Britons and an American – who were at the scene in Rafah when Corrie was killed will give evidence, according the family lawyer, Hussein Abu Hussein.
The four were all with the International Solidarity Movement, the activist group to which Corrie belonged.

Resilient Iranians still dream of a new revolution | World news | The Guardian

DrPot — Sat, 12 Dec 2009 20:27:26 +0000

Tehran University students have been filing into their classes past giant posters of Ayatollah Khomeini and the stern slogans of the Islamic revolution for the last 30 years. But the angry scenes on the university's sprawling campus this week seemed like a throwback to another age.
"Marg bar diktatur" (Death to dictatorship), they chanted in their thousands, waving green banners and posters behind high canvas screens tied to the railings as basij miltiamen and revolutionary guards prowled the streets outside.
Some held up Iranian flags with the symbol of the Islamic republic cut out of the middle.

Iranian men don hijabs in protest at student's arrest

DrPot — Sat, 12 Dec 2009 20:15:21 +0000

Iranian opposition supporters have launched an online campaign to free a student activist accused of dressing as a woman to try to avoid arrest.
Hundreds of men have posted photos of themselves wearing Islamic headscarves as part of the "Be a man" campaign to show solidarity with Majid Tavakoli.
He was arrested during protests in Tehran on Monday and state media showed images of him in headscarf and robes.
The opposition say the pictures were staged in a bid to discredit him.
