Suppressing Protest in America: Human Rights Violations in Response to OCCUPY: In September 2011, waves of protests against mounting socioeconomic injustice broke out across the United States, capturing the attention of the country. The Occupy Wall Street movement, inspired by similar protests around the globe, used the occupation of public space and mass demonstrations to call attention to a wide array of shared concerns. But across the United States, abusive and unlawful protest regulation and policing practices have been and continue to be alarmingly evident. This report follows a review of thousands of news reports and hundreds of hours of video, extensive firsthand observation, and detailed witness interviews. In New York City, some of the worst practices documented include: read the report, its to download. These practices violate assembly and expression rights and breach the U.S. government’s international legal obligations to respect those rights. In New York City, protest policing concerns are extensive and exist against a backdrop of disproportionate and well-documented abusive policing practices in poor and minority communities outside of the protest context.

The sole purpose of this posting by me is to draw attention to what must be the most comprehensive, well researched report on the policing of OCCUPY yet to date. The amount of information and references listed is staggering and … Continue reading

British government wants to fool the world and show indirect, that Ecuador is right, to give asylum to him, because the governments of the Western world want out of political reasons to bring him in prison!: UK tells Ecuador Assange can’t be extradited if he faces death penalty – William Hague says Wikileaks founder could only be sent to US if both Britain and Sweden believe human rights would not be breached. The UK-government confirms so indirect, that they want to bring Julian Assange to court in US and that Ecuador was right, to give him Asylums: Foreign-minster Hague, does not say, that Britain and Sweden will only bring him to Sweden to interview him because the claimend sexual abuses. He says, as the Swedish government before, he does not exclude to deport him to US. According to his statement this would be possible, they just make an agreement, that Assange gets a fair trial and will not be sentenced to death. But even then if he would be imprisoned because may be of a fabricated accusation of “supporting the enemy”, in publishing government secrets, they would have achieved, what they want, to show the world, that the people have no right, to know what our governments really do and plan! And the journalists have no right to publish what they get to know. We all should in our democratic interest support Assange and Ecuador and condem the fooling of the British government!

In an interview with the pan-Latin American broadcaster Telesur, WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange says it might take six to 12 months to resolve the issue of his extradition to Sweden. His comments follow an admission by the foreign secretary, William Hague, that “a solution is not in sight” to the row, which has strained diplomatic relations with the South American country. Assange reveals that the whistle-blower website will soon release millions of emails related to the Syrian government.

Don’t lose sight of why the US is out to get Julian Assange: Ecuador is pressing for a deal that offers justice to Assange’s accusers – and essential protection for whistleblowers. The solution is obvious. It’s the one that Ecuador is proposing – and that London and Stockholm are resisting. If the Swedish government pledged to block the extradition of Assange to the US for any WikiLeaks-related offence (which it has the power to do) – and Britain agreed not to sanction extradition to a third country once Swedish proceedings are over – then justice could be served. But with loyalty to the US on the line, Assange shouldn’t expect to leave the embassy any time soon.

Overall Size a significant fraction of global private financial wealth. We are up against one of societys most well entrenched interest groups.

The publishing of secret emails of the US-administration by Wikileaks helped to bring up the revolutionary change in the Arab world! The published emails from the US-embassy in Tunisia gave the Tunisian public the knowledge, that even the US know about the corruption of Ben Ali and his regime! Only one of the examples, that shows how important it is for democracy, to get transparency! Corruption, wars, war-crimes, many of them would not any more possible, if public would know about! We know through Wikileaks and Bradley Manning, how brutal US-soldiers have been in Irak and how careless with human lives and that, what they do is contrary to what they want to make the public to believe! Or that it was the US, who pressed Ethiopia, to make the intervention in Somalia, which causes till today, chaos and dead in this country! Wikileaks shows an important way, how to control our governments and other elites! Therefor they hate Julian Assange so much – they want to continue! Please, publish more, what you know, what we all only know because of Wikileaks! Especially we beg the journalists, who know better, to speak it out know, because they got so many new sources, to know the truth! Then people will understand, that we should support him, because the attack on him, is an attack on our democratic right, to know, what our governments do and often not want, that we know, because it is against our interests and the standards of Human Rights! Punishing him should show others: Do not do this, otherwise we will finish you! If he can continue with his work, it is very important for the future of our democracy and the peace!
