At the end of last December the Greek government approved a reform of the national penitentiary system that, in addition to  other measures that worsen prison conditions, establishes that those convicted of terrorism cannot access the “rural prisons”, more “open” institutions to which long-term prisoners have access.
The approval of this law has immediately activated the bureaucratic process for the transfer of Dimitri Koufontinas from the rural prison of Kassevitia.Dimitri is a comrade convicted for participation in the revolutionary organization 17 November, in prison since 2002.

Sudan: the second wave of revolt

The Sudanese revolution has been unique in its depth and scope. Yet the path to progress remains fraught with obstacles, writes Sara Abbas

Protests began in Sudan in December 2018 over soaring bread prices, but quickly grew into anti-government rallies demanding the removal of then-President Omar al-Bashir [File: Anadolu]

The second wave of revolts in the Middle East and North Africa (the ‘MENA’ region) began in Sudan, in December 2018. This is interesting when looked at in the context of a decade of dissent in the region. A black African nation, Sudan is at the margins both geographically and metaphorically. And despite the consistent attempts of post-colonial Sudanese elites to promote Arab identity, the Arab world has remained ambivalent about the country.

Women fueled Sudan's revolution, but then they were pushed ...

Tyson Foods Linked to Largest Toxic Dead Zone in U.S. History

Less oxygen dissolved in the water is often referred to as a “dead zone” (in red above) because most marine life either dies, or, if they are mobile such as fish, leave the area. Habitats that would normally be teeming with life become, essentially, biological deserts.NOAA

By Shana Gallagher

What comes to mind when you think of Tyson Foods? A chicken nugget? A big red logo?

How about the largest toxic dead zone in U.S. history? It turns out the meat industry—and corporate giants like Tyson Foods—are directly linked to this environmental catastrophe in the Gulf of Mexico, and many others.

Industrial-scaleagricultureto support America’s livestock is the number one source of water pollution in the country. But while industrial agriculture to feed animals raised for meat is currently resource-intensive and ecologically destructive, it doesn’t have to be. Solutions exist…

LIVE webinair this March 9: – Green feminist tsunami in Latin America?-

This year’s Women Workers Day promises to be a week of demos and celebrations, despite Covid restrictions. The movement is especially strong in Latin America, where women’s social revolution was already sweeping through the cities, infested with misogynist rape culture and femicides, and encouraged by the historic abortion rights victory in Argentina. In Spain all demos are banned in the Madrid area, with the usual Covid excuse and despite letting an openly macho fascist demo go ahead a fortnight ago.

The legalization of abortion in Argentina in December 2020 triggered a wave of debates on reproductive rights across Latin America. Several countries in the region impose a total ban on abortion; and in others where the practice has been fully or partially legalized, it faces strong backlash from pro-life groups.

9M. Paro y movilización de las mujeres.
Join us on March 9 for the latest in our Global Voices Insights live webinar series, where a panel will explore the impact of the Argentina decision on the rest of Latin America, and attempt to answer the question: Will Argentina’s “green tide” spread throughout the region, changing laws and attitudes around abortion?

For International Women’s Day March 8: Words of Clara Zetkin

Wisconsin Bail Out the People Movement by Elsa Rassbach

For the 100th anniversary of International Women’s Day, here’s a clip from my 1972 film, “His/story” (which I made as a student in Germany) about the legendary German socialist and feminist, Clara Zetkin, and her visit to the Soviet Union in 1920.

Image result for Clara Zetkin,

The preceding years had seen unprecedented struggle by women throughout the world, including in the US. In 1910, at an international socialist women’s congress in Copenhagen, Clara Zetkin proposed an annual women’s day to demand legal and political equality and the right to vote.

The first International Women’s Day was on March 19, 1911. Millions of women marched in Germany, Denmark, Austria, and Switzerland. This resounding success that was followed, only a week later, by the tragic ‘Triangle Fire’ in New York City took the lives of more than 140 young Italian and Jewish immigrant garment workers. Clara Zetkin (orig. Clara Eissner, 1857 – 1933) already looked back on a lifetime of struggle on behalf of working women.

Bill Gates, the World Bank and crony capitalism all waging war against Indian farmers

By Ethan Huff on Planet Today News republished from NaturalNews shared with thanks

(Planet-Today) For centuries, India, the second-most populated country in the world, has thrived with its organic patchwork of small farmers that provide clean, healthy, nutritious food to 1.3 billion people

Billionaire eugenicist Bill Gates, the World Bank, and other crony capitalist Western entities, however, want to change that.

Dr. Vandana Shiva, founder and president of Navdanya, Technology and Natural Resource Policy and recipient of the Right Livelihood Award, also known as the ‘Alternative Nobel Prize,’ explained to RT during a recent interview that globalist power players are working overtime to replace India’s unaffiliated network of small-scale family farmers with a large chemical agriculture system, similar to the one that exists in the United States.
