Serbia: Roma children and pregnant women left homeless after forcible eviction in Belgrade

Vashka — Fri, 08 Oct 2010 12:56:00 +0100

Amnesty International has urged the Belgrade authorities to stop forced evictions after Roma families, including 17 children and one pregnant woman, were evicted from their homes in the city.

The 36 people were forcibly evicted from their houses at 15 Vojvodjanska Street, where most of them had been living since 2003 after previously being forcibly evicted from another site in Belgrade. Amnesty International learnt that the forced eviction was carried out in order to make way for the building of a new road and an apartment building.

Ask Craigslist to Stop Advertising Human Trafficking Outside the U.S.

Joakimprojekt`s — Tue, 14 Sep 2010 10:36:56 +0100

Online classified ad websites like Craigslist have become the largest marketers of children trafficked into the commercial sex industry. The steady stream of exploited children for sale on Craigslist has had anti-trafficking groups demanding change for years. In the past 12 months, a trafficking survivor whose pimp forced her to advertise for her own statutory rape on Craigslist at age 11 wrote an open letter to Craig Newmark asking him to remove the “adult services” section where she was sold. Cash-strapped nonprofits rejected donations from the Craigslist Foundation as tainted money. And 10,000 Change.org readers signed a petition asking Craigslist to stop profiting from child sex slavery.

Not guilty. The Israeli captain who emptied his rifle into a Palestinain schoolgirl | World news | The Guardian

DrPot — Tue, 31 Aug 2010 10:16:48 +0100

An Israeli army officer who fired the entire magazine of his automatic rifle into a 13-year-old Palestinian girl and then said he would have done the same even if she had been three years old was acquitted on all charges by a military court yesterday.

The soldier, who has only been identified as "Captain R", was charged with relatively minor offences for the killing of Iman al-Hams who was shot 17 times as she ventured near an Israeli army post near Rafah refugee camp in Gaza a year ago.

The manner of Iman's killing, and the revelation of a tape recording in which the captain is warned that she was just a child who was "scared to death",

Iranian teenager faces execution for 'false' gay assault charges

mad4vibe — Wed, 04 Aug 2010 14:07:27 +0100

An 18-year-old Iranian man is facing execution over a false sodomy charge, campaigners say.

Ebrahim Hamidi was sentenced to death two years ago at the age of 16 for an unspecified assault on another man.

Although the allegation was withdrawn and the Iranian Supreme Court has rejected the guilty verdict and execution order, a lower provincial court is insisting on Mr Hamidi's execution.

The future belongs to young people ...

and it is us who will be affected most by the decisions we take today on Aids/HIV epidemic, climate change, food, energy, environmental degradation, economic stability and the continuing challenge of world poverty.

Such decisions will influence the shape and quality of our future lives and could even dictate how long we will live. So it is very important that us, as individuals and as a group, take a keen interest in these issues now – and make absolutely sure our views are heard

Wikileaks reveals video showing US air crew shooting down Iraqi civilians

DrPot — Mon, 05 Apr 2010 23:38:53 +0100

A secret video showing US air crew falsely claiming to have encountered a firefight in Baghdad and then laughing at the dead after launching an air strike that killed a dozen people, including two Iraqis working for Reuters news agency, was revealed by Wikileaks today.

The footage of the July 2007 attack was made public in a move that will further anger the Pentagon, which has drawn up a report identifying the whistleblower website as a threat to national security. The US defence department was embarrassed when that confidential report appeared on the Wikileaks site last month alongside a slew of military documents.

Sudan signs ceasefire with Darfur rebel group | World news | guardian.co.uk

DrPot — Wed, 24 Feb 2010 12:35:38 +0000

The Sudanese government and the most powerful rebel group in Darfur have signed a ceasefire intended to lead to a formal peace deal.
The president, Omar al-Bashir, and Khalil Ibrahim, leader of the Justice and Equality Movement (JEM), embraced one another after the signing ceremony in Qatar last night, which followed a year of internationally brokered negotiations.
Bashir described the move as a "major step towards ending the war" that began in 2003 and has caused 300,000 deaths, according to the UN.
The absence of other rebel groups from the deal means a wider peace agreement is still not in sight.
