Its members are united in a common concern for the craft and art of writing and a commitment to freedom of expression through the written word. Through its Centres, PEN operates on all five continents with 144 centres in 102 countries. Founded in London in 1921, PEN connects an international community of writers. It is a forum where writers meet freely to discuss their work. It is also a voice speaking out for writers silenced in their own countries. The Writers in Prison Committee of Pen International was set up in 1960 as a result of mounting concern about attempts to silence critical voices around the world through the detention of writers. It works on behalf of all those who are detained or otherwise persecuted for their opinions expressed in writing and for writers who are under attack for their peaceful political activities or for the practice of their profession, provided that they did not use violence or advocate violence or racial hatred. Member centres of PEN International are active in campaigning for an improvement in the conditions of persecuted writers and journalists. They send letters to the governments concerned and lobby their own governments to campaign for the release of detained writers and for inves- tigations in cases of torture and killings. Through writing to the families and, where possible, directly to prisoners, they provide encouragement and hope. PEN International has consultative status at the United Nations and with UNESCO. PEN INTERNATIONAL CHARTER The PEN Charter is based on resolutions passed at its international congresses and may be summarised as follows: PEN affirms that: 1. Literature knows no frontiers and must remain common currency among people in spite of political or international upheavals. 2. In all circumstances, and particularly in time of war, works of art, the patrimony of humanity at large, should be left untouched by national or political passion. 3. Members of P.E.N. should at all times use what influence they have in favour of good understanding and mutual respect between nations; they pledge themselves to do their utmost to dispel race, class and national hatreds, and to champion the ideal of one humanity living in peace in one world. 4. P.E.N. stands for the principle of unhampered transmission of thought within each nation and between all nations, and members pledge themselves to oppose any form of suppression of freedom of expression in the country and community to which they belong, as well as throughout the world wherever this is possible. P.E.N. declares for a free press and opposes arbitrary censorship in time of peace. It believes that the necessary advance of the world towards a more highly organized political and economic order renders a free criticism of governments, administrations and institutions imperative. And since freedom implies voluntary restraint, members pledge themselves to oppose such evils of a free press as mendacious publication, deliberate falsehood and distortion of facts for political and personal ends. Membership of P.E.N. is open to all qualified writers, editors and translators who subscribe to these aims, without regard to nationality, ethnic origin, language, colour or religion. INFORMation SOURCES The WiPC gathers its information from a wide variety of sources. It seeks to confirm its information through two independent sources. Where its information is unconfirmed, it will either take not action, or send an appeal worded to reflect the fact that the information is as yet incom- plete. Sources include press reports, reports form individuals in the region in question, reports from other human rights groups PEN members themselves, embassy officials, academics, prisoners’ families, lawyers and friends, and exile groups. It also works with international NGOs, such as Amnesty International and Human Rights Watch. It is a founder member of IFEX – the International Freedom of Expression Exchange. IFEX is a collaborative, on-line service in which several groups involved in the campaign for free expression pool information. Other members include Article 19, the Committee to Protect Journalists, Index on Censorship, the International Federation of Journalists and Reporters sans Frontieres, as well as regional and national groups.

List of cases by country Africa 4 Centres with Writers in Prison Committees 94 The Americas 22 List of Main Cases by Country 95 Asia and Pacific 39 Case statistics 96 Europe and Central Asia 58 Middle East 81 Anyone wishing to take action on any individual mentioned in this Caselist should contact the Writers in Prison Committee headquarters for any update there may be on the case and for advice on appeals. Explanation of Terms Used Important: Please Read Main Cases Those cases listed as 'main cases' are those where the Writers in Prison Committee is confident that: i. the person is a writer or journalist or is persecuted because of their writings; ii. the person has not used violence towards his or her aims or advocated racial hatred. In these cases, the Writers in Prison Committee will take all possible action for their release or for compensation. In cases where a prisoner is held without charge or trial for a considerable length of time, the Writers in Prison Committee will consider them to be a main case until and unless information is provided which shows that they have used violence or advocated racial hatred. Judicial concern These are cases where the main concern includes convictions based on trial proceedings which were manifestly unfair, where there are serious concerns regarding allegations of torture or where there are other irregularities in the judicial process. In these cases, the Writers in Prison Committee calls for a re-trial following fair trial practice or is calling for an investigation of the alleged malpractice and for those found guilty of committing such acts as torture to be brought to justice. Investigation case An investigation case is one where the Writers in Prison Committee: i. needs more information to ascertain whether a person is a writer or is persecuted for their writings; ii. is not clear as to whether or not he or she has used violence or advocated racial hatred; iii. has insufficient information to confirm that the event has taken place; iv is seeking confirmation that the person is still detained. The Writers in Prison Committee publishes details of investigation cases so as to provide a complete account of reports of abuses against individuals practicising their right to free expression in all countries. However, it will not usually call for their release. Once sufficient information is available, their cases will be reclassified as a main case or dropped as appropriate. '*' by a name indicates that the case is new to the Committee’s list since the last Writers in Prison Committee report. The last report was dated December 2010. 3 Caselist January to June 2011 PEN International Writers in Prison Committee BURUNDI Details current up to 30 June 2011 Released Jean- Claude KAVUMBAGU: editor of the online newspaper Net Press, was released on 16 May 2011 after more than 10 months in pre- trial detention. Kavumbagu was arrested on 17 July 2010 on a charge AFRICA of treason after he questioned in his newspaper’s opinion page whether Burundian security forces were capable of preventing a terrorist attack similar to those which had taken place in the Ugandan capital Kampala a few days earlier. He was reportedly arrested under an article that penalizes attempts ‘to demoralize the Army in times of war.’ Prosecutors failed to explain how the charge is applicable, since Burundi was not at war. On 16 May 2011 Kavumbagu was acquitted of treason but sentenced to eight ANGOLA months in prison and a fine of 100,000 Burundian francs (50 Euros) on a lesser charge of publishing an article “liable to undermine the state’s On trial credibility and national economy.” However he was freed immediately *Armando José CHICOCA: freelance reporter for various private due to the time already spent in detention before the trial.

    International Journal of Physical Education, Health and Social Science (IJPEHSS) ISSN: 2278 – 716X www.ijpehss.org Vol. 7, Issue 1, (2018) Peer Reviewed, Indexed and UGC Approved Journal (48531) Impact Factor 5.02 A PERFORMANCE ANALYSIS STUDY OF ETHIOPIAN FOOTBALL DURING 2008-2018 Dr. Kanhaiya Kumar Singh, Assistant Professor Sports Academy, Bahirdar University, Ethiopia ABSTRACT The purpose of the study was to analyse the overall journey of Ethiopian National football at international level as well domestic level in last decade. In order to analyse the fact observation method has been used to collect data. Finding of the study reflects that Ethiopian national football is losing its position and credibility continuously in the last decade. It might be happened due to some socio-political issue the Ethiopian football federation, moreover for FIFA2014 Ethiopian national football team scored total 12 goals and conceded 21 goals and reached up to first qualifying round then Nigeria went to FIFA World Cup 2014. Further for FIFA 2018 (Russia), Ethiopian National Team reached up to second qualifying round and eliminated by COGO. Ethiopian Domestic football leagues are Premier League, Higher League and National League conducted every year, it is important to note that 70% winning position in Premier League went to one team i.e., Saint Gorge FC and rest 30% goes to other 15 playing teams. It clearly shows the lack of competitive balance in the most famous domestic league of a country. At the continent level in Champions League Country best domestic team scored 18th Rank out of 59 teams.

  • IRAN EXECUTIVE SUMMARY the Islamic Republic of Iran
    IRAN EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The Islamic Republic of Iran is a constitutional, theocratic republic in which Shia Muslim clergy and political leaders vetted by the clergy dominate the key power structures. Government legitimacy is based on the twin pillars of popular sovereignty--albeit restricted--and the rule of the supreme leader of the Islamic Revolution. The current supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, was chosen by a directly elected body of religious leaders, the Assembly of Experts, in 1989. Khamenei’s writ dominates the legislative, executive, and judicial branches of government. He directly controls the armed forces and indirectly controls internal security forces, the judiciary, and other key institutions. The legislative branch is the popularly elected 290-seat Islamic Consultative Assembly, or Majlis. The unelected 12-member Guardian Council reviews all legislation the Majlis passes to ensure adherence to Islamic and constitutional principles; it also screens presidential and Majlis candidates for eligibility. Mahmoud Ahmadinejad was reelected president in June 2009 in a multiparty election that was generally considered neither free nor fair. There were numerous instances in which elements of the security forces acted independently of civilian control. Demonstrations by opposition groups, university students, and others increased during the first few months of the year, inspired in part by events of the Arab Spring. In February hundreds of protesters throughout the country staged rallies to show solidarity with protesters in Tunisia and Egypt. The government responded harshly to protesters and critics, arresting, torturing, and prosecuting them for their dissent. As part of its crackdown, the government increased its oppression of media and the arts, arresting and imprisoning dozens of journalists, bloggers, poets, actors, filmmakers, and artists throughout the year.

  • Europe in the First Six Months of 2011, Particularly in Central and Eastern Europe
    http://www.freemedia.at E U R O P E Turkey, Belarus, Hungary Cause Particular Concern By Steven M. Ellis, Press Freedom Adviser The International Press Institute (IPI) is concerned at media freedom developments in Europe in the first six months of 2011, particularly in Central and Eastern Europe. While the region overall had one of the lowest death tolls in the world for journalists in the first half of 2011, with two murdered in Russia, it saw ongoing harassment of journalists in countries like Turkey and Belarus, and backsliding on safeguards for media independence in countries like Hungary. Impunity for attacks on journalists remained a major issue from Russia to the Balkans, and bright spots like the release of jailed journalist Eynulla Fatullayev in Azerbaijan in May were often overshadowed by a climate of repression. Former Soviet‐bloc countries continued to experience difficulty ensuring that governments view media as independent, and not as a tool for the dissemination of propaganda. Across Europe, self‐ censorship was exacerbated by archaic criminal defamation laws that remained on the books, setting both a negative example and actually serving as the basis for prosecutions of journalists in Italy. Turkey presented one of the worst pictures on the continent. According to the Freedom for Journalists Platform, an umbrella group representing national and local groups in Turkey, the government holds approximately 70 journalists in jail, apparently more than any other country in the world. A study released in April by the Organization for Security and Co‐operation in Europe (OSCE)’s Representative on Freedom of the Media, Dunja Mijatović, found that the country was then holding at least 57 journalists in prison, most under anti‐terrorism laws or laws against membership in an armed criminal organization.

  • Imperialism and the 1999 Women's World Cup
    IMPERIALISM AND THE 1999 WOMEN’S WORLD CUP: REPRESENTATIONS OF THE UNITED STATES AND NIGERIAN NATIONAL TEAMS IN THE U.S. MEDIA by Michele Canning A Thesis Submitted to the Faculty of The Dorothy F. Schmidt College of Arts and Letters in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Arts Florida Atlantic University Boca Raton, Florida April 2009 Copyright by Michele Canning 2009 ii ABSTRACT Author: Michele Canning Title: Imperialism and the 1999 Women’s World Cup: Representations of the United States and Nigerian National Teams in the U.S. Media Institution: Florida Atlantic University Thesis Advisor: Dr. Josephine-Beoku-Betts Degree: Master of Arts Year: 2009 This research examines the U.S. media during the 1999 Women’s World Cup from a feminist postcolonial standpoint. This research adds to current feminist scholarship on women and sports by de-centering the global North in its discourse. It reveals the bias of the media through the representation of the United States National Team as a universal “woman” athlete and the standard for international women’s soccer. It further argues that, as a result, the Nigerian National Team was cast in simplistic stereotypes of race, class, ethnicity, and nation, which were often also appropriated and commodified. I emphasize that the Nigerian National Team resisted this construction and fought to secure their position in the global soccer landscape. I conclude that these biased representations, which did not fairly depict or value the contributions of diverse competing teams, were primarily employed to promote and sell the event to a predominantly white middle-class American audience.
