Sappiamo che stanno censurando i mezzi liberi in Honduras. Questa mattina Radio Progreso, una delle radio comunitarie più antiche del continente è stata chiusa dai militari. Altre radio comunitarie hanno deciso di nascondere i loro apparati

La energia elettrica, il teléfono e l'internet sono stati discontinuati dai golpisti con l'obiettivo di bloccare le comunicazioni e formare unc erchio informativo.

Ci preoccupa la situazione in cui si trovano le reti di radio comunitarie del popolo Lenca e del popolo Garífuna, cos' come i mezzi di comunicazione liberi: COMUN, Revistazo, el COFADEH ed il resto dei collettivi dei movimenti di media indipendenti e comunitari in Honduras.

Climate Emergency: Thousands march for Climate Action

Thousands of people around Australia rallied for emergency action on Climate Change on June 13, calling for 100% renewable energy by 2020 and demanding that Australia must make the shift from fossil fuels to wind, solar and other available renewable technologies. The National Climate Emergency Rally was held in capital cities around Australia, with people siting down outside Prime Minister Kevin Rudd's city office in Sydney and a sitdown protest in front of the Melbourne Town Hall where the ruling Australian Labor Party were holding their State conference.

This comes as progress on climate negotiations in Bonn, Germany, were blocked by the US Administration, with the US still talking about zero per cent reductions by 2020 on 1990 levels. "Industrialised countries need to assume their historical responsibility and pay back their climate debt. Developing countries must stay strong in calling for climate justice. By ignoring calls to repay their climate debt and hindering progress in these talks, rich countries are jeopardising the lives and livelihoods of millions of people." said Meena Raman, Honorary Secretary of Friends of the Earth Malaysia in a media release.

Il Perù accusa la Bolivia d'intromissione negli affari interni del paese

Lo scorso 7 giugno l'ambasciatore peruano in Bolivia, Fernando Rojas, qualificò d'intromissione negli affari interni del suo paese le dichiarazioni di condanna espresse da alcune autorità boliviane sul sanguinoso massacro di contadini e poliziotti nel dipartimento Amazonia peruano. Mentre l'esecutivo boliviano negò la possibile ingerenza e chiese al governo di Alan García assumere le sue responsabilità sull'accaduto.

The Angola Three: Torture in Our Own Backyard

Together, Herman Wallace, Robert King and Albert Woodfox have spent more than 100 years in solitary confinement (pictured, left to right).

They are known as the "Angola Three," a trio of political prisoners whose supporters include Amnesty International, Archbishop Desmond Tutu, Congressman John Conyers, and the ACLU. Kgalema Mothlante, the President of South Africa says their case "has the potential of laying bare, exposing the shortcomings, in the entire U.S. system."

“My soul cries from all that I witnessed and endured. It does more than cry, it mourns continuously,” said Black Panther Robert Hillary King, following his release from the infamous Louisiana State Penitentiary at Angola in 2001, after serving his last 29 years in continuous solitary confinement. King argues that slavery persists in Angola and other US prisons, citing the 13th Amendment to the US Constitution, which legalizes slavery in prisons as “a punishment for crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted." King says: “You can be legally incarcerated but morally innocent.” READ MORE with VIDEO & PICS

Barrick-Recommended Military Force burns down hundreds of homes in PNG

Hundreds of homes in the Porgera valley of Papua New Guinea are being set aflame. Local human rights organizations in Porgera claim that these fires are part of a strategy to clear people out of the way for the expansion of Barrick Gold's Porgera mine.

On April 27th, without prior warning, the indigenous land owners of the villages surrounding Barrick Gold’s Porgera open pit mine were violently evicted by a police and military operation with 200 troops. “Operation Ipili” was launched during the middle of the day to allegedly make way for the expansion of a Barrick gold mine. This effective State of Emergency in Porgera was motivated by situation reports presented by Barrick (PNG) Limited, according to Laigap Porgera Member of Parliament Phillip Kikala.

In Wake of US Supreme Court Decision, Abu-Jamal's Appeal Supporters Mobilize around New Book, Birthday

On April 6, the US Supreme Court rejected radical journalist and former Black Panther Mumia Abu-Jamal's appeal for a new guilt-phase trial. The Court has not yet decided whether it will consider the Philadelphia District Attorney's appeal of two lower court rulings that Abu-Jamal deserves a new sentencing hearing if the death penalty is to be re-instated. This means that if the Supreme Court rules in favor of the DA, Abu-Jamal could be executed without a new sentencing hearing.

In response, Abu-Jamal's lead attorney Robert R. Bryan will be filing a "petition for re-hearing" at the US Supreme Court. Emergency meetings have been held in several cities (1, 2) to coordinate grassroots response, and over 3000 people have signed an online petition in an effort coordinated by anti-death penalty activists from Germany. Photo from December 2008 protest in Pittsburgh, PA.

The rejected appeal (technically called a petition for a "writ of certiorari") was based primarily on the US Supreme Court's 1986 "Batson v Kentucky" ruling which stated that a defendant deserves a new trial if it can be shown that the prosecutor used peremptory strikes to remove otherwise qualified jurors simply because of their race. At Abu-Jamal's 1982 trial, prosecutor Joseph McGill used 10 or 11 of his 15 strikes to remove otherwise acceptable black jurors. He was subsequently convicted and sentenced to death in the shooting death of police officer Daniel Faulkner. Listen to Abu-Jamal's own response, interviewed by Noelle Hanrahan of Prison Radio.

Abu-Jamal continues to file news dispatches from death row (including John Hope Franklin: The Passing of a Griot and Summitry and Punditry on the G-20 meetings in London), and supporters are working to get the word out about his new book, Jailhouse Lawyers: Prisoners Defending Prisoners v. the USA, published by City Lights Books. Events will be held in the US around April 24, which is Abu-Jamal's birthday. In Philadelphia, two supporters were arrested on April 11 while putting up posters for the book release event — read report from Philly IMC. Events are planned in the following cities: Philadelphia (including a Revolutionary Week of Events) | New York City | Oakland | Los Angeles | Boston | Portland | Seattle & Olympia, WA | Houston | Washington, DC | Baltimore, MD | More Info & Updates from Abu-Jamal-News.Com

Il Fattore Demarest: L’etica del finanziamento per la ricerca accademica in Messico del Ministero della Difesa statunitense

Il 23 ottobre 2006 il Lawrence Journal World o il LJ World ha pubblicato un articolo nel quale silenziosamente svelava uno scandalo nell’Università di Lawrence nel Kansas. Nel 2005, la facoltà di Geografia dell’Università ha ricevuto almeno 500.000 dollari dal Dipartimento della Difesa per mappare terre comunali indigene negli stati di San Luis Potosi e Oaxaca in Messico.

Come risultato, il 26 novembre 2007 elenemigocomun.net ha pubblicato un seguito della storia sullo scandalo dei finanziamenti intitolata “ la strada all’ inferno” che descrive i possibili danni che possono arrecare questo tipo di progetti di mappatura finanziati dall’esercito.

Dalla pubblicazione di questo articolo, io (Simon Sedillo) e un numero crescente di membri delle comunità insieme a studenti di entrambi i lati del confine Messico-Stati Uniti ci siamo particolarmente impegnati in estese indagini sui dettagli di questo progetto. Ciò che maggiormente ci preoccupa è l’inosservanza dell’ etica accademica causata dalla mancanza di trasparenza con le comunità in merito ai finanziamenti e la continua violazione dell’esercito degli Stati Uniti sulla sovranità del Messico e delle comunità indigene. La nostra indagine collettiva, condotta nell’ultimo anno,ha dato come risultato una serie di prove di inconfutabile evidenza, che dimostrano la violazione dell’etica accademica e serie violazioni della sovranità del Messico e delle comunità autonome indigene.

Protest Halts Barrick Gold Mine Operations at Lake Cowal, Australia

Protests by the Save Lake Cowal campaign have halted work at the Barrick Gold open pit mine at Lake Cowal, New South Wales, Australia over the Easter Weekend. Lake Cowal is an ephemeral lake lying in the Lachlan River plain within the Murray-Darling Basin, home to many migratory water birds and sacred sites of the Wiradjuri people.

Twenty Eight people were arrested on Sunday when protestors walked onto the open pit mine closing it down. They were authorised to enter the mine site by Wiradjuri Tradtional Owners.

Protests target profiteers, "war at home" on the sixth anniversary of the invasion of Iraq

March 19 marked the sixth anniversary of the invasion of Iraq. That week, protests took place across the United States expressing outrage at the continuing destruction and connecting the dots between the war abroad and profiteering and racism on the home front. Many events took place on Saturday, March 21st, sponsored by the ANSWER coalition and coinciding with a march on the Pentagon in Washington, DC. Marchers also targeted the Veterans Administration and four companies who are making money off the war. [Read Report]

Looking ahead, a national memorial project was launched in Olympia, WA on March 20. Over the next few months, the effort will build memorials in cities across the country, commemorating civilians whose deaths have been documented to be a result of US aggressions. On the east coast, anti-war groups are joining forces to target the commodification of war at a huge shopping mall in Pennsylvania.
