However, languages and cultures in particular areas have not been spared by the effects of this phenomenon. A study conducted by Zafar Shakir of Karakoram languages’ International University (KIU) reveals Shina language is a casualty of climate change. Belonging to The Express Tribune, October 17, the Dardic tribe, the origin of the language dates back to the arrival of Aryans into Shinaki area 2015 (areas along the Hindukush and Karakoram) circa 1,500 to 2,000 BCE. Words from other languages have encroached into particular regions of the Shinaki area, thereby categorising it within the threatened languages. “Human displacements and migrations tend to affect languages and cultures,” writes Shakir. He says this happened to Shina in Gilgit-Baltistan as well. A lecturer at the Department of Modern Languages at KIU, Shakir carried out a study in September with 20 Shina-speaking participants displaced by floods over the past year. “Of those I interviewed, there were equal number of farmers, servicemen and women, students, and businessmen,” explained the lecturer. The study period lasted nearly two hours and 3,223 words were uttered by the target group. The use of non-Shina words were reported at 33% by the end of the study. According to Shakir, “There is a direct and indirect impact of climate change on our material culture, which includes our clothing, agricultural norms and housing.” The lecturer added, “However, there is also a direct and indirect impact of climate change on our non-material culture, which revolves around languages.” The KIU faculty member said the impact of climate change on the target group forced them to code switching (switching from one language to the next in one conversation), inter- as well as intra-sentential switching, and blending and borrowing of words from other languages. The KIU faculty member said the impact of climate change on the target group forced them to code switching (switching from one language to the next in one conversation), inter- as well as intra-sentential switching, and blending and borrowing of words from other languages.

    Reporters Without Borders TV5 Monde Prize 2015 Nominees

    Reporters Without Borders ­ TV5 Monde Prize 2015 Nominees Journalist Category Mahmoud Abou Zeid, aka Shawkan (Egypt) “I am a photojournalist, not a criminal,” Shawkan wrote from Tora prison in February. “My ​ ​ ​ indefinite detention is psychologically unbearable. Not even animals would survive in these conditions." ​ Shawkan is an Egyptian freelance photojournalist who has been in pre­trial detention for more than 760 days. He was arrested on 14 August 2013 while providing the US photojournalism agency Demotix and the US digital media company Corbis with coverage of ​ ​ ​ ​ the violence used to disperse demonstrations by deposed President Mohamed Morsi’s supporters in Rabiaa Al­Awadiya Square. Three journalists were killed that day in connection with their work Aged 28, Shawkan covered developments in Egypt closely from Mubarak’s fall to Morsi’s overthrow and on several occasions obtained striking shots of the popular unrest. His detention became illegal in August of this year because, under Egyptian law, pre­trial detention may surpass two years only in exceptional cases. Few people in Egypt have ever been held pending trial as long as him. A date has finally been set for the start of his trial, 12 December 2015, when he will be prosecuted before a Cairo criminal court along with more than 700 other defendants including members of the Muslim Brotherhood, which was declared a terrorist organization in December 2013. Many charges have been brought against him without any evidence, according to his lawyer, Karim Abdelrady. The most serious include joining a banned organization [the Muslim Brotherhood], murder, attacking the security forces and possession of weapons.

    Fighting Corruption with Con Tricks: Romania's Assault On

    FIGHTING CORRUPTION WITH CON TRICKS: ROMANIA’S ASSAULT ON THE RULE OF LAW David Clark FIGHTING CORRUPTION WITH CON TRICKS FIGHTING CORRUPTION WITH CON TRICKS: ROMANIA’S ASSAULT ON THE RULE OF LAW 2 FIGHTING CORRUPTION WITH CON TRICKS Executive Summary Democracy in Europe is facing its greatest challenge since the fall of the Berlin Wall. The threat comes not only from the rise of political movements that openly reject liberal democratic values, including the governing parties of Hungary and Poland, but also from the risk of creeping authoritarianism caused by a gradual decline in standards of governance and the weakening of important democratic underpinnings, such as the rule of law. Romania is a country of particular concern. Although it has earned international praise for its recent efforts to stamp out corruption, a detailed examination of Romania’s anti-corruption activities shows that they often provide convenient cover for acts of political score settling and serious human rights violations. The methods used show a considerable degree of continuity with the practices and attitudes of the communist era. The strong correlation between those targeted for prosecution and the interests of those in power is indicative of politicised justice. Cases have often been accompanied by campaigns of public vilification designed to maximise their political impact. Far from being above politics, Romania’s National Anti-corruption Directorate (DNA) is an active participant in its partisan struggles. Although the rule of law requires the justice system to work independently of government, there is clear evidence of collusion between prosecutors and the executive in Romania.

    Will Terrorism Hijack the Pakistani Elections? Kiran Hassan*

    Opinion: Will Terrorism Hijack the Pakistani Elections? Kiran Hassan* Institute of Commonwealth Studies, School of Advanced Study, University of London, UK *[email protected] First published in the Daily Times of Pakistan, 22 April 2013.1 Pakistan expects a historic general election in 2013 which might be jeopardized by terrorist attacks. For the first time, a momentous democratic transition – in which one democratically elected government, after completing its full term, will succeed another – is about to take place. Yet many suspect that if the fresh bout of violence from militant groups continues, furthering chaos and lawlessness, the expected general election might not happen. Militancy continues to be the hydra-headed beast that the top Pakistani leadership has failed to slay. The critical question remains: Is the Pakistani leadership willing to tackle this breeding problem or is it comfortable with remaining habitually complacent? The New Year brought shameful and dreaded assaults by extremist groups on the Pakistani Shia community. Groups such as Lashkar-e-Jhangvi have long regarded Shia Muslims as heretics. Stepping up attacks recently, the Lashkar-e-Jhangvi (a banned organization) are thought to have set up several training camps for militants, and have access to large quantities of weapons and explosives. The brutality started when 81 people were killed and 121 injured in a suicide car bomb blasts in Quetta’s Alamdar Road area on the night of then 10th of January 2013.2 Lashkar-e-Jhangvi claimed responsibility for the attack. The majority of the people killed in the Alamdar Road blasts belonged to the Hazara Shia community.
