Leyla and Arif Yunus should be released not sentenced and civil society protected in Azerbaijan

Trial of Leyla and Arif Yunus clearly politically motivated. They must be freed immediately: http://bit.ly/1IKuegs  #Azerbaijan

 

Transparency International, the global anti-corruption movement, condemns the trial and sentencing of Leyla Yunus, a human rights defender, and her husband and calls for their immediate release.

Leyla Yunus was convicted today for financial misconduct and sentenced to eight and a half years in prison and Arif Yunus was sentenced to seven years.

Transparency International believes that both should be released on humanitarian grounds and because the conditions for a fair trial fall far short of internationally accepted standards.

“Leyla and Arif Yunus must be freed. Transparency International condemns the courts for pursuing what is clearly a politically motivated legal action. Leyla and Arif are unwell and have been badly treated in prison. They must be set free immediately, not least so they can receive urgent medical care,” Anne Koch, regional director for Europe and Central Asia.

Transparency International joins with other human rights defenders condemning the trial and calls on the government of Azerbaijan to release the Yunus’.

“The trial of the Yunus’ should never have happened. It hurts all civil society in Azerbaijan,” said Koch.

Unterrichtsministerin Heinisch-Hosek fordert mehr Mittel für den Unterricht von Flüchtlingskindern

Unterrichtsministerin Heinisch-Hosek fordert mehr Mittel für den Unterricht von Flüchtlingskindern, auch der Wiener Stadtschulrat bereitet sich vor (die Diskussion um die unterschiedlichen Konzepte können wir hier nicht führen). Völlig abgetaucht ist jener Minister der in den kommenden Monaten am meisten zusätzliche Mittel brauchen wird, wenn vermieden werden soll, dass tausende anerkannte Flüchtlinge in prolongierter Abhängigkeit in Massenquartieren ond ohne Zugang zu (Aus)bildung leben müssen: Integrationsminister Sebastian Kurz.

Wir fordern den Minister auf: Legen sie endlich ein Konzept für ein bundesweites Integrationssystem vor und geben Sei die dafür benötigten Mittel ihrem Parteikollegen Finanzminisier Hans Jörg Schelling bekannt. Ihre Untätigkeit kostet tausenden Menschen Lebenszeit und -perspektive und verursacht mittelfristig enorme Kosten.

Das Niedrigste und das Edelste wird im Menschen wach in Zeiten der Krisen und des Chaos´. Ungarn exerziert diese alte Weisheit gerade in allen denkbaren Facetten durch. Hilfsbereitschaft, blanker Hass, Geschäftemacherei, Menschenfreundlichkeit und schlichte Dummheit wechseln sich fließend ab. Derweil zieht die Karawane der Flüchtlinge weiter, weil sie muss. Die Menschen wollen leben. Um sie aufzuhalten, will sich Orbán, der Führer Absurdistans, sogar auf einen Wettstreit mit dem Islamischen Staat einlassen.

 Bretton Woods Proj. ‏@brettonwoodspr 

In the Bretton Woods era, trade liberalization, the improvement of labour rights and working conditions, and the strengthening of environmental policies, were seen as mutually supportive. But is this always true? Can we continue to pretend to protect the rights of workers and to improve environmental protection, particularly through climate change mitigation strategies, within an agenda focused on trade liberalization? Is it credible to pursue trade policies that aim to expand the volumes of trade, without linking such policies to labour and environmental standards, seen as ’non-trade‘ concerns? This book asks these questions, offering a detailed analysis of whether linkage is desirable and legally acceptable under the disciplines of the World Trade Organization (WTO). It concludes that trade can work for sustainable development, but only if we see it as a means for social and environmental progress, including climate change mitigation, and if we avoid fetichizing it as an end to be pursued for its own sake..

Lending a Hand in Hungary

Some observers consider LMP – Lehet Más a Politika a useful tool in Viktor Orbán’s hands. Schiffer András ever since the formation of the party, has steadfastly refused any kind of collaboration with the other democratic parties, thereby giving an advantage to Fidesz. Some people actually suspect that Fidesz helped Schiffer’s party gain parliamentary representation. One thing is sure, LMP is always just a whisker over the minimum necessary for a party to sit in parliament. And while ten DK PMs were not allowed to form a parliamentary caucus, LMP, after the party split, was permitted to form one with seven members. LMP has a special place in the heart of the Fidesz leadership. The only question is whether there is some kind of a secret deal between Orbán and Schiffer or whether Schiffer is simply a “useful idiot.”

11 hrs · 

(ä文在後)Free Liu-Xiaobo administrator/editor Rose Tang will give a public talk at City University of New York this Friday, August 14. All are welcome.

[Speaker’s bio]:

Rose Tang is a New York-based Chinese human rights new media activist, artist and a survivor of the Tiananmen Massacre. The U.S. Visual Artists Guild awarded Tang “Champion for Freedom of Speech” in 2014. She’s taught journalism at Princeton University. During her 12 years as a journalist, Tang has worked for English-language main stream media organizations, including CNN and the Australian Broadcasting Corporation, and has won numerous media awards in New York, Hong Kong and Australia. The Society for Publishers Asia named her “Journalist of the Year” in 2005. The Chinese Communist Party mouth piece branded her “Unemployed Housewife of Brooklyn” in 2014. Tang’s current focus is to improve human rights in China, Hong Kong, and Tibet.

Shortly after the Chinese Communist Party began the mass arrest and persecution of human rights lawyers in early July, Rose Tang used the Internet to initiate global actions to support the lawyers. She also organized the boycott of Beijing’s bid to host the 2022 Winter Olympics. She has interviewed ex-President of Taiwan Chen Shui-Bian, Taiwanese President Ma Ying-Jeou, and veteran pro-democracy activist and former legislator Shih Ming-Teh.

Tang has been using social media such as Facebook, Twitter and Telegram for her activism. She’s the editor of a number of Facebook public pages, such as “Free Liu-Xiaobo.” She founded “Rebel Fashion with a Cause,” encouraging people to wear traditional Tibetan clothes and accessaries to raise awareness of Tibet. In September 2014, Tang was given a private audience by the 14th Dalai Lama in his residence in Dharamsala, India. She also met with the speaker and deputy speaker of the Tibetan Parliament in Exile, and the Minister for Foreign Affairs and Media of the Central Tibetan Administration. The Tibetan Youth Congress, the largest NGO in exile Tibetan community, invited Tang to give a speech in New Delhi and a public talk in Dharamsala.

Tang flew to Hong Kong last December to camp with protesters to support the Umbrella Revolution. Shortly after the police drove her and other protesters out of the Umbrella Square, she flew to Taipei to meet with leaders and participants of the Sunflower Movement and gave public talks to members of Island Nation Youth, Democratic Tautin and other NGOs. During recent years, Tang gave speeches and talks at protest rallies in Chicago, San Francisco, New York and Rochester, She was part of a panel on China’s social media and activism organized by the New York-based Overseas Press Club.

[Outlines of the Talk]

Rose Tang, this week’s speaker at Cafe Philo @ NY, has long been involved in struggles to improve human rights. Tang will share with us her experience of participating in the Tiananmen Movement and her dramatic escape from Tiananmen Massacre as a student protester. She’ll talk about the Chinese Communist Party’s cover-up of this historic landmark for the last 26 years and the efforts by the Chinese people to keep the memories alive and to carry on the ideals of the Tiananmen Generation. Tang will tell us how ordinary people, activists and human rights lawyers in China, including those currently in detention or in exile, have been inspired by the spirit of Tiananmen and how they have managed to openly commemorate anniversaries of the massacre inside China.

As a veteran journalist, Rose Tang will discuss how to use a cell phone or a computer to maximize the power of social media and constantly invent methods of fighting against tyranny. The human rights situation in China continues to worsen, and Chinese President Xi Jinping has been cracking down on civil society on an unprecedented scale. Since July 9th, more than 260 human rights lawyers, activists, their colleagues, and family members have been arrested, interrogated, put under house arrest or made to disappear.

Under such Red Terror, Tang uses the Internet to share information and contact activists and lawyers inside China. Within a day of the beginning of the crackdown in July, she formed a team of activists, journalists, lawyers, artists, and students around the world to leap into action. Every team member had specific job assignments. The team organized simultaneous protests in a number of cities and regions around the world. The team also provided information to international media, helping journalists to cover the protests and the boycott of Beijing’s Olympic bid. The coverage on social media and mainstream media prompted various governments and international lawyers’ and human rights organizations around the world to issue statements protesting China’s persecution of the lawyers and the recent unprecedented human rights violations.

In the talk, Tang will stress the importance of fighting against the Chinese Communist Party dictatorship, and how this fight is connected with the freedom, democracy and independence of Hong Kong and Taiwan.
