De 8 December Moorden Gratis Epub, Ebook DE 8 DECEMBER MOORDEN GRATIS Auteur: Harmen Boerboom en Joost Oranje Aantal pagina's: 160 pagina's Verschijningsdatum: none Uitgever: none EAN: 9789062917624 Taal: nl Link: Download hier Wat zijn de Decembermoorden en waarom is er nu ineens een uitspraak? Inhoudelijk zal ik verder niet ingaan op de zaak. In het vonnis van 29 november is de Krijgsraad uiteindelijk, na beoordeling van de feiten en omstandigheden en de toetsing daarvan aan de geldende wettelijke regels en bepalingen, tot de conclusie gekomen dat de verdachten, met uitzondering van degenen die zijn vrijgesproken, zich schuldig hebben gemaakt aan de 8 december moorden. En dat is het uiteindelijke doel geweest van de Krijgsraad. Ik zie hierin geen enkele politieke spelletje dat gespeeld wordt anders dan de vele fratsen die de heer Bouterse met zijn verlengstuk steeds heeft geprobeerd n. Dat de beslissing van de Krijgsraad politieke consequenties heeft voor Bouterse en zijn gevolg staat mijns inziens buiten kijf. Mijn mening ter zake is dat Bouterse en co. Dit kan echter heel nadelige gevolgen hebben voor het nationalistisch gevoel van het land. En het manifesteert zich reeds: Suriname is nu al meer verdeeld dan ooit tevoren. In dat opzicht kan ik wel stellen dat er politiek gespeeld wordt met de dood van 15 vooraanstaande burgers van Suriname door de coalitie. Dus volk let AUB op uw zaak.

Deze zogenoemde Decembermoorden zijn een traumatische gebeurtenis voor de inwoners van Suriname. Het militaire bewind van Bouterse eindigt in Pas in komt er gerechtelijk onderzoek naar de gebeurtenissen in Fort Zeelandia. Door verschillende omstandigheden start het proces pas 7 jaar later. Het proces loopt grote vertraging op. Uiteindelijk eist het OM in een onvoorwaardelijk gevangenisstraf van 20 jaar tegen Bouterse. De veroordeling laat dan nog 2 jaar op zich wachten. Op 29 november doet de Surinaamse Krijgsraad uitspraak: 2 verdachten krijgen vrijspraak en Bouterse krijgt 20 jaar cel. Op 22 januari bevestigt Bouterse voor de rechtbank dat hij in hoger beroep gaat. Dat is - voor zover dit internationaal is na te gaan - nog nooit vertoond op deze manier. Dat biedt zoveel hoop en vertrouwen voor de veerkracht van de Surinaamse rechtsstaat, dat die op deze manier toch nog functioneert. Ze wijst erop dat mensen gemakkelijk schamper doen over Suriname. Nou, het tegenovergestelde van een failed state is een staat met een rechtsorde die het aandurft om zijn eigen zittende president te veroordelen. Ik denk dat de betekenis daarvan zo ongelooflijk groot is en een echt precedent schept. Dat is een groot feest waard. Radiopresentator Norman van Gom vindt dat het recht moet zegevieren. Persoonlijk vind ik: als hij schuldig is bevonden, dan moet hij de gevangenis in. Maar de bewijslast is nog niet zo helder. Hij tekent niet voor niets beroep aan. Vandaar dat veel mensen nu praten over verzoening. Toen Bouterse op 22 januari naar de rechtbank ging, droeg hij een legeruniform, terwijl hij niet meer in het leger zit. Dat vond ik een beetje dreigend, provocerend naar de nabestaanden van de Decembermoorden. Het lijkt een boodschap: als hij de gevangenis in moet, komt er een militaire opstand. Daar zijn mensen echt bang voor. Van Gom maakt zich in die zin zorgen over de toekomst van Suriname. Zelf denk ik dat Suriname beter verdient. Het wordt tijd voor een nieuwe wind en verjonging. Maar ik vermoed dat hij zo lang mogelijk aan de macht wil blijven. Bouterse is veroordeeld voor het mede plegen van 15 moorden. Daar zou je in Nederland veel meer jaren voor krijgen. De voormalig president van Brazilië kreeg relatief meer jaren gevangenisstraf voor corruptie. Dus waarom zouden we bang zijn om Bouterse zwaarder te veroordelen? De strijd is nog niet gestreden, benadrukt hij. We zijn er nog lang niet. Nadat Bouterse op 22 januari beroep had aangetekend, sprak hij zijn aanhangers met bravoure toe, maar hij vertelde niet dat het hier slechts om aantekening van beroep ging. Het is slechts een verzet. Op 31 maart moet hij opnieuw naar de rechter, dan zal hij wel om uitstel vragen om aan de verkiezingen in mei te kunnen deelnemen. Want de rechter heeft zijn passief en actief kiesrecht niet ingetrokken. De verschillende reacties op de veroordeling van de zittende president hebben diverse oorzaken. Enerzijds heeft het te maken met de populariteit van Bouterse. Mensen worden er niet zo oud als in Nederland en er zijn heel veel jongeren. Dus er zijn niet zoveel mensen meer die als volwassene de dictatuur en de moorden hebben meegemaakt. In de schoolboeken komen de excessen onder de militaire dictatuur niet voor. Daarvoor is het nog te kort geleden. Je moet het misschien vergelijken met de politionele acties in Indonesië. Decembermoorden en Moiwana (Suriname) Sluit Je naam. Je e-mail. Naam ontvanger.

[SLACHTOFFERS The December murders Dutch: Decembermoorden were the murders on 7, 8, and 9 December , of fifteen prominent young Surinamese men who had criticized the military dictatorship then ruling Suriname. Thirteen of these men were arrested on December 7 between 2 am and 5 am while sleeping in their homes according to reports by the families of the victims. The other two were Surendre Rambocus and Jiwansingh Sheombar who were already imprisoned for attempting a counter-coup in March Soldiers of Dési Bouterse , the then dictator of Suriname, took them to Fort Zeelandia the then headquarters of Bouterse , where they were heard as 'suspects in a trial' by Bouterse and other sergeants in a self-appointed court. After these 'hearings' they were tortured and shot dead. The circumstances have not yet become completely clear; on December 10, , Bouterse claimed on national television that all of the detainees had been shot dead 'in an attempt to flee'. The December murders led to international protest by numerous Western countries and human rights organizations. The former colonial power, Netherlands , immediately froze development aid. Bouterse has long denied guilt in the December murders. In March he accepted political responsibility for the murders, but he then also explicitly stated that he personally had not 'pulled the trigger' to kill the fifteen men. In March , however, a former confidant of Bouterse testified under oath that Bouterse himself had shot two of the victims. After their abduction, the fifteen victims were transported to Fort Zeelandia , the then headquarters of Bouterse and his soldiers in Paramaribo , the capital of Suriname. The soldiers performing the action were under command of Bouterse, the then dictator of Suriname and also leader of the Surinamese army. Among the victims were lawyers, journalists, businessmen, soldiers, university teachers and a union leader. A sixteenth arrested person, trade union leader Fred Derby , was released unexpectedly on December 8. Derby reported his experiences on December 8, , saying he was not murdered because, Bouterse told him, he was needed to cool the temper of the unions, which were frequently on strike at that time. In the December murders trial that commenced on November 30, there were 25 suspects with Bouterse being the only main suspect. Only after many years the Surinamese government took the first official legal steps toward clarifying the case. After the murders, the victims' bodies were buried without post-mortem examinations having been performed; moreover, no legal investigation was conducted. Politically, the murders continue to exert an influence on Surinamese politics. After the Parliamentary elections , won by Bouterse, then- president Ronald Venetiaan refused to even mention Bouterse's name or congratulate him; Venetiaan, the Minister of Education in the government of Henck Arron , prime minister of the government overthrown by Bouterse in , was a personal friend of most of the fifteen victims.

SURINAME: FROM STUDENT ACTIVISM TO TRANSNATIONAL PARTY POLITICS, 1950S-2005 This chapter asks how (post)colonial history has affected Surinamese transnational party politics since the 1950s. As we saw in the previous chapter, homeland-based actors are ambivalent towards influence from the former colonial metropole. We further saw that the transnational mobilisation potential of Surinamese migrant civil society is limited by its fragmentation and that most organisations do not exist for long.

Amsterdam: Prometheus/Bert Bakker, 2015. 360 pp. (Paper €24.95) In 1980 Desiré Delano Bouterse led the military coup of 25 February in Suri- name. Under his military regime, 1980–87, the country developed into a repres- sive state, with at its nadir the summary execution of 15 opponents (journal- ists, trade union leaders, lawyers, and scientists) on December 8, 1982. During the 1980s and 1990s, Bouterse (“Desi” or “Bouta” in popular speech) became the most despised person in Suriname—the personification of repression, dictatorship, and executions. In 1992, five years after Suriname’s “re-democ- ratization,” he had to resign as military leader, forced out by the government of Ronald Venetiaan. In 1995, the Dutch government claimed to have “hard” evidence that Bouterse had been involved in drug trafficking and that he main- tained contacts with the Colombian drug cartel. In July 1997, a Dutch court sentenced him in absentia to 16 years in prison, and in June 2000 this sentence was reduced to 11 years. Then, in 2010, he was elected president of Suriname … and re-elected in 2015. His Nationale Democratische Partij (ndp) gained a majority in the 2015 elections and even an absolute majority in parliament, a novum in the political history of Suriname. Three decades after the military coup Bouterse had become one of the most popular politicians in Suriname. Meanwhile, countless biographies have been published about him, most recently by Nina Jurna and Pepijn Reeser.

The goldfields of Suriname are situ- ated mainly in Maroon areas. In the 1990s a migratory wave of Brazilian garimpeiros came to work in the Surinamese interior. The arrival of these Brazilians led to a culture of entrepreneurs and businesses wanting to produce as much as possible, as fast as possible and without any consideration for the damage the gold mining would do to the environment. The relationships between the Brazilians and the Maroons are less tense than one might expect considering the competition, however the interior of Suriname is still in some ways compa- rable to the wild west, particularly because of the total absence of any kind of government authority in the region.

The fact that NCH presents this news does not imply that it shares the views and beliefs of the historians and others mentioned in it. GENERAL In March 2001 Japanese historian Ienaga Saburô (1913–) (see NCH #10) was nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize. In May 2000 the Preparatory Committee for the September 2001 World Conference Against Racism, Racial Discrimination, Xenophobia and Related Intolerance discussed five themes for the provisional conference agenda, including the provision of effective remedies. Dissent turned primarily on the reference to compensation, with former European colonial powers and the United States opposed to language that implied their acknowledgment of material obligations to remedy past abuses. This was an echo of debates within the United States on the issue of reparations to address the heritage of slavery and segregation. See also United States.

  • Chance, Change, and the Sticusa
    MA THESIS, CULTURAL HISTORY OF MODERN EUROPE, UTRECHT UNIVERSITY Chance, Change, and the Sticusa On the Nature of Cultural Cooperation between the Sticusa and Suriname Bob Christiaan Molenberg 4159810 8/20/2017 In this thesis the notion of the Foundation for Cultural Cooperation with Suriname and the Nether- lands Antilles (Sticusa) as an institution guilty of cultural imperialism is challenged. Instead of fo- cusing on continuity after colonialism the focus in this thesis lies on change. The Sticusa operated in a multi-cultural country in which culture carried the weight of nation-building; therefore it was heavily contested. Through its activities Sticusa created niches that were filled by the creative prac- tices of Surinamese writers, artist, and others involved in the cultural world of Suriname. In their cultural endeavours, they brought about cultural change and provided in the effort to create a national culture. 1 Table of Contents Introduction ................................................................................................................................. 3 I.
