Reporters Without Borders http://www.rsf.org/vietnam-two-citizen-journalists- jailed-for-10-11-2011,41377.html Asia - Vietnam Prison for radio “pirates” Two citizen journalists jailed for illegally broadcasting to China 10 November 2011 Reporters Without Borders is appalled by the sentencing today of two citizen radio journalists, Vu Duc Trung and his brother-in-law Le Van Thanh, to prison terms of three years and two years respectively for illegally broadcasting radio programmes to China. “This conviction is harsh and outrageous. We had cautioned the Vietnamese judicial system against any attempt to use the law in an abusive fashion,” the press freedom organization said. “The unlicensed transmission of programmes that were not in Vietnamese nor aimed at a Vietnamese audience should not have been characterized as anything other than an administrative offence. This verdict shows the authorities were conveying the anger of their Chinese counterparts, who were the targets of the criticism expressed in the radio programmes. “We ask the international community to put pressure on the Vietnamese government for the immediate release of Vu Duc Trung and Le Van Thanh, as well of all journalists and bloggers who are currently suffering under a growing crackdown. “We also appeal to Prime Minister Nguyen Tan Dung to consider the demands we set out in the letter we sent to him in September.” The two journalists were convicted in a summary trial by the Supreme People’s Court of Vietnam under a section of the penal code that bans “the illegal transmission of information on a telecommunications network”. According to a witness quoted on the website of the newspaper The Epoch Times, their lawyer Tran Dien Trien asked to be shown which laws banned broadcasting into China, but received no response. -
United Nations A/HRC/17/44
United Nations A/HRC/17/44 General Assembly Distr.: General 12 January 2012 Original: English Human Rights Council Seventeenth session Agenda item 4 Human rights situation that require the Council’s attention Report of the International Commission of Inquiry to investigate all alleged violations of international human rights law in the Libyan Arab Jamahiriya* Summary Pursuant to Human Rights Council resolution S-15/1 of 25 February 2011, entitled “Situation of human rights in the Libyan Arab Jamahiriya”, the President of the Human Rights Council established the International Commission of Inquiry, and appointed M. Cherif Bassiouni as the Chairperson of the Commission, and Asma Khader and Philippe Kirsch as the two other members. In paragraph 11 of resolution S-15/1, the Human Rights Council requested the Commission to investigate all alleged violations of international human rights law in the Libyan Arab Jamahiriya, to establish the facts and circumstances of such violations and of the crimes perpetrated and, where possible, to identify those responsible, to make recommendations, in particular, on accountability measures, all with a view to ensuring that those individuals responsible are held accountable. The Commission decided to consider actions by all parties that might have constituted human rights violations throughout Libya. It also considered violations committed before, during and after the demonstrations witnessed in a number of cities in the country in February 2011. In the light of the armed conflict that developed in late February 2011 in the Libyan Arab Jamahiriya and continued during the Commission‟s operations, the Commission looked into both violations of international human rights law and relevant provisions of international humanitarian law, the lex specialis that applies during armed conflict. -
News Update on Religion and Church in China September 15 – December 4, 2011
News Update on Religion and Church in China September 15 – December 4, 2011 Compiled by Katharina Wenzel-Teuber Translated by David Streit The “News Update on Religion and Church in China” appears regularly in each issue of Religions & Chris- tianity in Today’s China (RCTC). Since the editorial staff learns of some items only later, it can happen that there are chronological overlaps between “News Updates” of two consecutive issues of RCTC. In these cases stories referred to in earlier “News Updates” will not be repeated. All “News Updates” can be found online at the website of the China-Zentrum (www.china-zentrum.de). – The last “News Update” (2011, No. 2, pp. 91-113) covered the period May 14 – September 28, 2011. September 15, 2011: Beijing Review: Students from rural areas are falling behind Fewer and fewer students from rural areas are managing to enroll in one of the leading universities in China. According to a 2010 study, only 17% of undergraduate students at Qinghua (Tsinghua) Univer- sity in Beijing were from rural areas, despite the fact that rural students accounted for 62% of all regis- tered participants in the nationwide university entrance exam. In 2011 less than 15% of undergraduate students of Qinghua University came from China’s rural areas. At Beijing University, the number of students coming from the countryside dropped from 30% (1978–1998) to around 10% over the last ten years. Overall, the number of rural students at leading universities has dropped alarmingly below 20%. According to the article, one of the main reasons is the unfair distribution of educational resources between urban and rural areas (Beijing Review Sept. -

Alternative Politics, Vol.3, No.3, 256-419, November 2011 256 TIMELINE OF THE ARAB REVOLT: DECEMBER 2010 – JUNE 2011 Bogdan SZAJKOWSKI* December 17, 2010 Tunisia - Mohamed Bouazizi, a 26-year-old unemployed, sets fire to himself in the central Tunisian town of Sidi Bouzid, protesting at the confiscation by police of his fruit and vegetable cart. He suffers third-degree burns across his entire body and is subsequently treated in the Traumatology Centre for Severe Burns in the town of Ben Arous. His self-immolation sparks demonstrations in which protesters burned tyres and chanted slogans demanding jobs. Protests soon spread to other parts of the country including the towns of al-Ragab and Maknasi in central Tunisia, and later the capital, Tunis. Videos of the Sidi Bouzid demonstrations are online soon after the protest began and the Twitter website carries extensive commentary of the protests. December 19, 2010 Tunisia - Protests spread to Kairouan (holy city located in north-central Tunisia), Sfax (city 270 km southeast of Tunis), and Ben Guerdane (town in south-eastern Tunisia, close to the border with Libya). December 20, 2010 Tunisia - Mohamed Al Nouri Al Juwayni, the Tunisian development minister, travels to Sidi Bouzid to announce a new $10m employment programme. But protests continue unabated. December 21, 2010 Tunisia - President Ben Ali carries out limited cabinet reshuffle and warns that protesters would be punished if rioting continued in the country. December 22, 2010 Tunisia - Lahseen Naji, a 22-year-old commits suicide in the midst of another demonstration over unemployment in Sidi Bouzid by climbing an electricity pylon and electrocuting himself on the cables, after shouting out ―No to misery, no to unemployment!‖ 257 Bogdan Szajkowski Ramzi Al-Abboudi, under the burden of business debt, ironically made possible by the country‘s micro-credit solidarity programme, commits suicide. -

New Saudi King in a Major Shake-Up Min
SUBSCRIPTION SATURDAY, JANUARY 31, 2015 RABI ALTHANI 11, 1436 AH No: 16419 Bomb attack Qatar Airways Djokovic fights at Pakistani buys nearly 10 off Wawrinka mosque kills percent of BA, to reach at least 497 Iberia15 parent Open48 final New Saudi king in Min 10º 150 Fils a major shake-up Max 25º King Salman tightens grip on power, fires sons of his predecessor RIYADH: Saudi Arabia’s new King Salman has tightened his hold on power, firing two sons of his predecessor and replac- ing the heads of intelligence and other key agencies in a sweeping shakeup. The appointments, which analysts said supported signs the kingdom will chart a steady course on for- eign and oil policy, came a week after Salman, 79, took the throne following the death of King Abdullah. Top officials from the Ports Authority, the National Anti-Corruption Commission and the conservative Islamic kingdom’s religious police were among those let go late Thursday. But the oil and foreign ministers retained their key posts. The changes confirmed specula- tion that Abdullah’s death “would see a reversal in his immediate family’s fortunes,” said Jon Marks, a Middle East expert at London-based think- tank Chatham House. “We have a situation of change in a highly personalized hierarchy, but not at least not immediately-of sig- nificant policy change.” Salman also reached out directly to his subjects. One of his more than 30 decrees ordered “two Saudi new King Salman months’ basic salary to all Saudi government civil and military employees,” the Saudi Press Agency (SPA) said. -
Urgent Action
Further information on UA: 214/12 Index: MDE 25/007/2012 United Arab Emirates Date: 30 July 2012 URGENT ACTION UAE: MORE ACTIVISTS DETAINED; RISK OF TORTURE At least 14 more political activists have been detained since 18 July in an ongoing wave of arrests in the United Arab Emirates (UAE). Their location, and that of 13 men arrested previously, is unknown, placing them at increased risk of torture or other ill-treatment. Dr. Issa al-Suwaidi, former director of Abu Dhabi Educational Zone, Juma al-Felasi and Tariq al-Qasim were arrested on 19 July. Dr. Saif al-Ajlah, Hamad Roqait, Mohamed al-Naqbi, Dr. Adnan Julfar, Tariq Hassan al-Qattan, Musabeh al-Rumaithi, Abdulraheem al-Zarooni and Abdulsalam Darwish were arrested on 24 July. Saeed Naser al-Wahidi and Ali Al-Manei from Abu Dhabi were arrested on 25 July. Lawyer Salem al-Shehhi was arrested on 18 July when he went to the State Security Prosecutor's office to ask about his clients, including two prisoners of conscience - human rights defenders Dr. Mohamed al-Mansoori and Dr. Mohamed ‘Abdullah al-Roken - who had been arrested on 16 and 17 July respectively. Amnesty International believes that Salem al-Shehhi is also a prisoner of conscience, detained solely for his peaceful work as a defense lawyer. Lawyer Dr. Mohamed ‘Abdullah al-Roken was arrested while driving to a police station in Dubai to report that his son Rashid Mohamed al-Roken and son-in-law ‘Abdullah al-Hajeri had gone missing. Others previously arrested include lawyer and former UAE Jurists' Association head Dr.
