Barcelona has followed other Spanish cities in banning nudism, or even ‘partial nudism’.. ie.. you can be fined up to 500 euros ($700) for Taking off your t shirt.. boys included. The ‘socialist’ party also supported the new law, which then proved impossible to enforce during the mass Take The Streets demos, camps and street assemblies. While the 15M movement demands revolution the far right corrupt Partido Popular is sweeping towards power.
‘Barcelona era la única ciudad española donde no estaba prohibido pasearse desnudo por las calles. Estaba planificado que la decision de si se aprueba o no la ordenanza que lo prohíbe, e incluso sanciona y multa a quienes no la respeten, se tomase en marzo de 2011, pero aún no se tienen noticias al respecto.’
Ir desnudo o semi desnudo (con el torso desnudo o en bañador) se sancionará con multas de entre 300 y 500 euros (el más alto se reserva para los reincidentes). Aunque el texto establece, que antes de multar, la guardia urbana avisará.
La nueva ordenanza municipal que persigue el nudismo y el seminudismo -concepto cuyos límites parecen vascular dentro de la subjetividad de la policía- ya ha generado las dos primeras multas Las sanciones, que oscilan entre los 120 y los 500 euros, se han impuesto en dos distritos cercanos a las playas
Protests against Syrian President Bashar al-Assad swept into the capital Damascus on Friday for the first time since a growing wave of pro-democracy unrest began to put pressure on his 11-year rule. Thousands of protesters marched elsewhere across the country despite a fierce crackdown and some political concessions announced by Assad in an attempt to quell spreading unrest.
Desde el comienzo de las movilizaciones, según los datos que aporta la oposición, la cifra de víctimas mortales supera los 2000. Entre ellos más de 95 niños, el más pequeño de tan sólo 6 meses que recibió un disparo en la cabeza acabando con su vida.
mass demos reach capital. 2000 dead.
Damascus: Syrian security forces shot dead at least 25 people while dispersing tens of thousands of demonstrators in the central city of Hama today, activists said, as anti-regime protests spread to Damascus. Activists in the city told AFP by telephone in Nicosia that dozens of other people were wounded. Security forces unleashed “intense gunfire” against a crowd of more than 50,000 people in Hama, according to Rami Abdel Rahman who heads the London-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights.
Multitudinaria manifestación en Hama(Siria)
La oposición siria ha vuelto este viernes a salir a las calles del país bajo el lema ” VUESTRO SILENCIO NOS MATA” refiriéndose al silencio de la comunidad internacional, destacando los países árabes.
Igualmente, y siempre según cifras de la oposición, ya se han registrado más de 30.000 desaparecidos y 20.000 detenidos que están siendo torturados constantemente en las cárceles del régimen.
El gobierno, por su parte, acusa a los opositores de estar financiados por las potencias imperialistas e Israel, y responsabiliza a grupos paramilitares de oposición de ser los responsables de sembrar el caos en el país, y de atentar contra las fuerzas del orden y la población civil.
Rosemary Gonzalez was murdered in 2009, the victim of a war that ended in 1996. One day, 17-year-old Rosemary said good-bye to her mother Betty, walked out of their small house on the outskirts of Guatemala City and was never seen alive again.
Rosemary and Betty lived together in the poor neighborhood of Barcenas, under the constant shadow of violence. Across Guatemala, nearly 5,000 women have been killed in the past decade, attacked for the simple fact of being women. The women of Barcenas know well this fear—they live at the epicenter of this crisis.
In Guatemala, generations of women have faced murderous violence, but at its core is war. Now, the same dynamic is emerging in Iraq.
The Latin American women’s movement has given this crisis a name: femicide. It is defined by various forms of gender-based violence against women, including murder, and characterized by impunity for perpetrators and a lack of justice processes for victims. It occurs in conditions of social upheaval, armed conflict, violence between powerful rival gangs and militias, rapid economic transformation and the demise of traditional forms of state law enforcement.
For Guatemalan women, particularly those who are young, poor or Indigenous, the war against them continues — and Rosemary is one of its victims.
Young women in Rosemary’s community of Barcenas have few options other than backbreaking work in themaquilas (sweatshops) for meager pay. After long shifts, they walk home at night, looking over their shoulders for the attack they know could come at any moment…..
In Iraq, the U.S. invasion in 2003 also triggered a surge in violence against women. The overthrow of the Ba’ath regime ended decades of nominally secular rule, in which women consolidated certain human rights gains. The U.S. occupation brought to power Islamists whose vision of the world hinged on a fundamentalist policing of social roles for women.
Grassroots Responses
In Guatemala, a grassroots organization called the Women Workers’ Committee has created an oasis of safety for women and girls. They organize workshops and community watch groups to help
this body is mine..dont touch..don't rape..dont KILL
women know their rights to life, health and decent work and to enhance their safety. They provide crucial counseling for traumatized women and girls and legal services for families of murdered women. Guatemalan women have learned a bitter lesson. The crucible of war allowed violence against women to become entrenched in communities. Femicide has become the “new normal,” something women must think about every day.
Guatemala’s long history of slaughter by US and local ‘white’ fascist rulers
“School of the Americas Watch is where I first came across the involvement of the Zetas with the cartels. Then I saw a website by Mothers of the murdered young women of Juarez accusing the Zetas of being involved in the torture killings of their daughters. The saddest part of all is that Guatemalan Kaibiles, notorious death squads trained by US Special Forces and known for disemboweling pregnant Mayan women in Guatemala and Chiapas at Acteal, also have been working for the cartels as many of them mutinied as well for more money. “Both Zetas and Kaibiles have been hired as mercenaries in Iraq. Kaibiles were even hired as UN Peacekeepers in the Congo! So called Peacekeepers have been killing and raping in Haiti, the Congo and Bosnia.” There is more information: http://www.militaryphotos.net/forums/showthread.php?t=77215
Japan on Thursday recommended 59 more households should evacuate from four areas considered radiation “hot spots” near the crippled Fukushima Daiichi nuclear plant…..
radioactive bef
Tens of thousands of people have moved to shelters from areas in and beyond the no-go zone around the plant, including from a wider 30-kilometre zone where people were first told to stay indoors and later urged to leave. Higher levels of radiation have been detected in the newly designated locations, raising fears that residents’ accumulated exposure may exceed 20 millisieverts per year – the government’s limit for evacuation.
Since the March 11 disaster, Japan has raised the legal exposure limit for people, including children, from one to 20 millisieverts per year – matching the safety standard for nuclear industry workers in many countries. Environmental groups and critics have slammed the government for the rule change and say the current evacuation zone around the plant is not wide enough and does not account for the irregular pattern of radiation exposure…..
On Tuesday, the government banned shipments of Fukushima beef, four months after the March 11 quake and tsunami sparked reactor meltdowns at the nuclear plant. Municipalities, including areas in Tokyo, have said that the affected meat has already been used in school lunches and sold at stores. The central government has banned shipment of certain vegetables, tea, milk and seafood from Fukushima and areas beyond including tea grown south of Tokyo. (SeedDaily…)
Fukushima residents’ urine now radioactive More than 3 millisieverts of radiation has been measured in the urine of 15 Fukushima residents of the village of Iitate and the town of Kawamata, confirming internal radiation exposure. Both are about 30 to 40 km from the Fukushima No. 1 power plant, which has been releasing radioactive material into the environment since the week of March 11, when the quake and tsunami caused core meltdowns. “This won’t be a problem if they don’t eat vegetables or other products….
Malawi is one of the poorest countries in the world, with an estimated 75% of the population living on less than $1 (60p) a day.
The government recently passed an austerity budget, raising taxes to reduce dependence on aid.
The demonstrations were called to protest against rising fuel prices, a shortage of foreign exchange reserves, alleged bad governance and poor international relations.
LANTYRE (Reuters) – Riots broke out in several cities in Malawi Wednesday after police and the army tried to disperse protesters demanding the resignation of President Bingu wa Mutharika, whom they accuse of ignoring civil liberties and damaging the economy.
Last week, the UK cut direct aid to Malawi after a diplomatic spat with Mr Mutharika’s government.
The UK accused Malawi of mishandling the economy and failing to uphold human rights.
In the southern African nation’s capital, Lilongwe, witnesses said smoke was billowing into the sky as protesters burned cars, offices and shops belonging to ministers and politicians from Mutharika’s ruling Democratic Progressive Party (DPP).
Troops were deployed on the streets of the normally sleepy commercial capital, Blantyre, and police fired teargas at marchers who had gathered outside the stock exchange in defiance of a court order.
“The earlier injunction has been withdrawn and we’re proceeding on the planned route of the demonstration but sadly we’re being smoked by teargas,” Gift Makhwawa, president of the Malawi Law Society, told Reuters.
The best whistleblower so far from inside News International has just been found dead. Hertfordshire Police, either incredibly stupid or incredibly corrupt, have just been quoted on Sky News as saying there are “No suspicious circumstances”.
Whaether this is a convenient heart attack or a Kelly type “suicide” remains to be seen. Maybe the Met mistook him for a suicide bomber and pumped several shots into his head. With the exception of Kelly, this is possibly the most suspicious death of my lifetime. “No suspicious circumstances”. WTF!!
Sean Hoare’s testimony that Andy Coulson knew of individual phone hacking operations is pretty well certain to be true. I have written many times for national newspapers, and wherever I have written disparagingly about anybody, I have had to give my evidence. I have even, for example, been called in actually to meet the legal advisers at the Mail and discuss my evidence. The idea that journalists were not telling Coulson where they got their stories, or for what purpose they were laying out tens of thousands of pounds, is simply not practically possible. Same goes for the period when Rebekah was editor.
Sean Hoare’s testimony was plainly, absolutely true. His death discourages other whistleblowers a bit, doesn’t it? If the inquiries into News International are going to have any credibility, they are going to need a witness protection programme – from which the Met are totally excluded.
What a coincidence that the key whistleblower in the disgusting hacking scandal sweeping the Murdoch empire and the British far right (including best friend Cameron) should die so conveniently. Every overfed arrogant slug in politics will be celebrating Sean’s death this morning. Especially the American new fascists and the wonderful human beings of Fox News…..
”At a time when the reputation of News of the World journalists is at rock bottom, it needs to be said that the paper’s former show business correspondent Sean Hoare, who died on Monday, was a lovely man.
In the saga of the phone-hacking scandal, he distinguished himself by being the first former NoW journalist to come out on the record, telling The New York Times last year that his former friend and editor, Andy Coulson, had actively encouraged him to hack into voice mail.
That took courage. But he had a particularly powerful motive for speaking. He knew how destructive The News of the World could be, not just for the targets of its exposés, but also for the ordinary journalists who worked there, who got caught up in its remorseless drive for headlines.
Explaining why he had spoken out, he told me: “I want to right a wrong, lift the lid on it, the whole culture. I know, we all know, that the hacking and other stuff is endemic. Because there is so much intimidation. In the newsroom, you have people being fired, breaking down in tears, hitting the bottle.”
