PE658.278v02-00 4/21 CM\1213925IT.docx IT Biografie 4 attivisti LGBTI – Jakub Gawron, Paulina Pajak, Paweł Preneta e Kamil Maczuga, Polonia Proposti da Malin Björk, Terry Reintke, Marc Angel, Rasmus Andresen e altri 39 deputati Kamil, Jakub, Paulina e Paweł. Nell'autunno del 2019, gli attivisti LGBTI polacchi Jakub Gawron, Paulina Pajak e Paweł Preneta hanno creato l'"Atlante dell'odio" (https://atlasnienawisci.pl), un progetto che consiste nella mappatura dei numerosi Comuni polacchi che hanno approvato o respinto o che stavano esaminando risoluzioni contro le persone LGBTI. Il sito web contiene anche una banca dati online con link a documenti e studi statistici ufficiali. Un quarto attivista, Kamil Maczuga, ha svolto un ruolo importante nel monitoraggio dei dibattiti sulla questione nelle amministrazioni locali e nella comunicazione di informazioni ad attivisti, media e politici all'interno e all'esterno della Polonia sulla diffusione delle "dichiarazioni anti-LGBTI". CM\1213925IT.docx 5/21 PE658.278v02-00 IT L'Atlante è nato in risposta al crescente numero di autorità locali o Comuni polacchi che avevano adottato "dichiarazioni anti-LGBTI". Oggi, più di 100 Comuni o autorità locali in Polonia si sono dichiarati "zone libere da LGBTI" o hanno adottato le cosiddette "carte regionali dei diritti della famiglia". Nell'ottobre 2019, prima che il Parlamento europeo approvasse una risoluzione per condannare le "zone libere da LGBTI" in Polonia, gli attivisti sono stati invitati alla sede del Parlamento europeo di Strasburgo, dove hanno tenuto una conferenza stampa sulla gravità e il deterioramento della situazione delle persone LGBTI in Polonia. Nella primavera del 2020 Jakub Gawron, Paulina Pajak e Paweł Preneta sono stati citati in giudizio da cinque dei Comuni che avevano adottato tali dichiarazioni. Le amministrazioni locali, rappresentate dall'organizzazione conservativa Ordu Iouris (che sono anche gli autori delle cosiddette carte regionali dei valori della famiglia), affermano che gli attivisti, con l'Atlante dell'odio, arrecano un danno alla loro reputazione. Chiedono che gli attivisti si scusino pubblicamente, sia in Polonia che dinanzi al Parlamento europeo, e paghino una compensazione economica alle "organizzazioni a favore della famiglia" nei cinque Comuni. La designazione dei candidati Jakub Gawron, Paulina Pajak, Paweł Preneta e Kamil Maczuga al premio Sacharov è una dimostrazione del sostegno e del riconoscimento della loro creatività e del loro duro e coraggioso lavoro in difesa dei diritti umani delle persone LGBTI, non soltanto in Polonia ma ovunque i loro diritti siano minacciati.

    POLICING PROTEST THE CONTROL OF MASS DEMONSTRATIONS IN WESTERN DEMOCRACIES 1ST EDITION PDF, EPUB, EBOOK Donatella Della Porta | 9780816630646 | | | | | Policing Protest The Control of Mass Demonstrations in Western Democracies 1st edition PDF Book The way in which content-related assessments have an influence on protest diagnoses, thereby creating political prognoses of danger , will subsequently be demonstrated using another sequence. The article first outlines the main protest actions involving young people in twenty-first century Britain. On 13 September, the "Heroes March" rally took place in Minsk. Police thus face groups with mixed and sometimes incompatible strategies operating in fluid interaction. These examples support predominantly bipolar oppositions. Kurban was brought to the surface and, accompanied by an employee of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, taken to a psychoneurological medical centre where he was examined by medical staff and released. In this world, there is the typical middle-class nuclear family. American Behavioral Scientist 63 10 However, no details about the ongoing investigation were ever revealed. Riot police, as well as several water cannons one of which broke down , were employed to disperse the rally. If you call it interference, then those who do not recognize the election also interfere in the affairs of Belarus. Nevertheless, this interpretation uncovers aspects that are more or less taken for granted, not problematised or criticised in the discussions — in a nutshell: the implicit norms. American Journal of Political Science 57 4 Nordas, R. After police tried to detain her, protesters shouted "Nina! More communicative and managerial approaches to protest policing since the eighties as well as more selective policing styles relying on the attempt of differentiation between peaceful and non-peaceful can be traced back to this ruling.

  • Belarus Human Rights 25 08 2020
    The information is aggregated from open online resources and our own practice. In these newsletters, we will shortly update you on everyday human rights violations in numbers and facts. Summary Tuesday, August 25: Olga Kovalkova, a member of the Coordination Council, who was detained yesterday, will spend 10 days at Akresсina Street. Sergei Dylevsky, a representative of the MTZ strike committee, who was also detained yesterday, will also be held in custody for 10 days. Thirty-nine protesters faced administrative charges following yesterday’s protests in a number of Belarusian cities, the Interior Ministry’s spokesperson said.1 Three criminal cases were opened to investigate alleged violence against police officers.2 The pro democracy peaceful protests go on in Belarus for more than 2 weeks now. 500 workers at the Vitebsk department of Belarusian Railway signed a joint petition to the regional and city authorities. They demand the resignation of Lukashenko and Yarmoshyna ​ and recognition that the declared result of the Presidential elections is illegitimate. ​ Rule of law (or it absence) The Supreme Court of Belarus refused to initiate proceedings on the complaint of Tikhanovskaya, as well as ex-presidential candidates Dmitriev and Kanopatskaya about invalidations of the election results. State bodies cannot demand revision of the elections, since this situation is not foreseen by the Constitution, according to the chairman of the Constitutional Court of Belarus, Petr Miklashevich. He stated that the demand of the Constitutional Council to review the election results is, therefore “unconstitutional.”3 ​ Tortures The Viasna Human Rights Center, the Belarusian Helsinki Committee, the World Organization Against Torture (OMCT) and the International Federation for Human Rights (FIDH) asked the UN Special Rapporteur to intervene in Belarus.

  • Belarus Human Rights 24 08 2020
    The information is aggregated from open online resources and our own practice. In these newsletters, we will shortly update you on everyday human rights violations in numbers and facts. Summary Monday, August 24: 840 residents of Gomel have signed a petition to the district police department to institute criminal proceedings against the militia under article 128 of the Criminal Code (crimes against the peace and security of mankind).1 The Presidential candidate, Andrei Dmitriev, has filed a complaint to the Supreme Court of Belarus about the “results” of the presidential elections, as issued by the Central Election Committee. Earlier, the complaint was filed by Svetlana Tikhanovskaya and Anna Konapatskaya. The main question will be if the Supreme Court considers this complaint. Based on the Electoral Code, the Supreme Court is not explicitly authorised to consider election results appeals. However according to the Constitution everyone has the right to a court appeal. Meanwhile, politically motivated detentions continue: Members of the Coordinating Council Olga Kovalkova and Sergei Dylevsky were detained by the riot police at the entrance to the Minsk Tractor Works. The official reason for their detention is an unauthorized mass event and violation of mass order. A few minutes before the arrival of the riot police, Kovalkova and Dylevsky came to support the workers on strike. Nobel laureate Svetlana Aleksievich and ex-director of the Kupala Theater Pavel Latushko, who are members of the Presidium of the Coordination Council2, were called in for questioning by the State Investigative Committee3. The co-chairman of the Belaruskali strike committee, Anatoly Bokan, has been detained and fined4 for participating in an unauthorized mass event.

    PROTESTEREN OP POREUZE BARRICADES Door: Victor A.C. Remouchamps LuItenant kolonel der Artillerie (b.d.) en Charlef Brantz, Kolonel der infanterie HMV ( b.d.) 28 augustus 2020 Inleiding In het artikel “Wel of niet Lukashenko” staan twee sleuteluitspraken verwerkt: “zonder daadwerkelijke steun van buitenaf en/of de instorting van binnenlandse veiligheidsorganisaties, zullen de demonstranten het onderspit delven” en “het antwoord op de vraag hoe lang de demonstraties voortduren en/of Lukashenko nog op zijn troon in Minsk kan blijven zitten, ligt in een van de laden van Poetins bureau”. De ontwikkelingen in de laatste week hebben bevestigd dat het geen loze uitspraken waren. De stuurloze oppositie Het “gezicht” van de oppositie.
