C dans l'air du 9 juin 2025 - La Californie se rebelle...Trump envoie la Garde nationaleQue se passe-t-il à Los Angeles ? Depuis vendredi, des habitants manifestent dans la mégapole californienne contre la politique migratoire de l'administration Trump, à la suite d'opérations musclées menées par les agents fédéraux de l'immigration (ICE). L'envoi, samedi, de la Garde nationale sur ordre du président américain, contre l'avis du gouverneur démocrate de l'État, est loin d'avoir calmé les esprits. Pour le troisième jour consécutif, des heurts ont opposé les forces de sécurité à des manifestants qui protestent contre la politique d'expulsion massive et dénoncent l'envoi des premiers soldats par Washington — une manière, selon eux, d'instrumentaliser la situation.Donald Trump exploite-t-il les incidents à Los Angeles ? C'est en tout cas l'avis de la maire démocrate de la cité californienne, qui affirme contrôler la situation. "Ce que nous voyons à Los Angeles, c'est un chaos provoqué par l'administration. Le déploiement des troupes fédérales est une escalade dangereuse."En Californie, les fractures de l'Amérique éclatent au grand jour : d'un côté, les démocrates accusés de laxisme sur la politique migratoire ; de l'autre, les républicains de Donald Trump, déterminés à appliquer les mesures et à faire un exemple dans le fief de l'un de leurs principaux opposants, au risque de plonger un peu plus le pays dans une crise institutionnelle."C'est une atteinte grave à la souveraineté de l'État", a dénoncé le gouverneur démocrate de Californie, Gavin Newsom. "Nous n'avions pas de problème jusqu'à ce que Trump s'en mêle", a-t-il accusé sur X. Les gouverneurs des États démocrates ont fustigé un "abus de pouvoir alarmant", rappelant que la Garde nationale est traditionnellement mobilisée lors de catastrophes naturelles, et non pour réprimer des mouvements sociaux. Il s'agirait du premier déploiement unilatéral de la Garde nationale par un président sans l'accord d'un gouverneur depuis 1965, selon Kenneth Roth, ancien directeur de Human Rights Watch.Cette décision inédite du président Trump marque une nouvelle étape dans sa confrontation avec les États et les villes démocrates sur la question migratoire. À l'heure où il est en échec sur d'autres volets de sa politique (économie, inflation, guerres commerciales, diplomatie) et qu'il vient de rompre de façon fracassante avec Elon Musk, le républicain durcit encore sa politique anti-immigration, pour montrer à ses électeurs déboussolés qu'il tient ses promesses. Ainsi, l'interdiction d'entrée aux États-Unis pour les ressortissants de douze pays, édictée la semaine dernière, est entrée en vigueur ce lundi, selon un nouveau décret présidentiel. Sont concernés les ressortissants d'Afghanistan, de Birmanie, du Tchad, du Congo-Brazzaville, de Guinée équatoriale, d'Érythrée, d'Haïti, d'Iran, de Libye, de Somalie, du Soudan et du Yémen.La Maison-Blanche a également décidé, ces derniers jours, la suspension du traitement des visas pour les étudiants étrangers, le temps pour l'administration Trump de mettre en place une procédure permettant d'examiner le contenu de leurs réseaux sociaux. Parallèlement, des vagues d'arrestations et d'expulsions sont mises en scène afin de frapper les opinions publiques.Quelle est la situation en Californie ? Pourquoi l'envoi de la Garde nationale fait craindre une dérive autoritaire de Donald Trump ? Qu'est-ce que le "travel ban" ? Jusqu'où ira son bras de fer avec les universités ? LES EXPERTS :- Nicole BACHARAN - Historienne et politologue, spécialiste des États-Unis, éditorialiste à Ouest France- Gallagher FENWICK - Grand reporter, spécialiste des questions internationales, ancien correspondant à Washington, auteur de Volodymyr Zelensky : l'Ukraine dans le sang, publié aux éditions du Rocher- Anne DEYSINE - Juriste et politologue, spécialiste des États-Unis- Corentin SELLIN - Professeur agrégé d'histoire, spécialiste des États-Unis, chroniqueur sur la politique américaine pour les Jours.fr- Piotr SMOLAR - Correspondant aux Etats-Unis pour le journal Le Monde
Israel is escalating its genocide in Gaza. Entire families are being wiped out, famine is spreading, and airstrikes are targeting shelters and schools. In the West Bank, killings and settler violence are surging as Israel tightens its grip on the territory. Yet despite these atrocities, international media coverage has diminished. While a handful of European governments have begun to question their complicity, meaningful action is still missing. In this livestream, Palestinian writer and organiser Mohammed El-Kurd joins Yanis Varoufakis to cut through the noise: What's really happening on the ground? Why has the West been so slow, or unwilling, to act? And what can we, as citizens, do about it? Hosted by Mehran Khalili.
The aid crisis in Gaza is deepening. This morning, Israeli soldiers opened fire near crowds of Palestinians approaching a new food distribution site in southern Gaza, the Israeli military confirmed. At least 27 people were killed and dozens more wounded, according to the Gaza Health Ministry. This comes just days after a similar incident left 31 dead and nearly 200 injured, an event for which Israel has denied responsibility.As famine looms and disease spreads through the devastated territory, civilians are caught in an increasingly desperate struggle for survival. Aid is scarce, humanitarian convoys are often attacked or held indefinitely at the Gaza border, and the infrastructure needed to deliver essential supplies has collapsed.In this episode of The Fourcast, Krishnan Guru-Murthy is in Jerusalem, speaking to Milena Ansari, a Palestinian lawyer and researcher with Human Rights Watch, and Zvika Klein, editor-in-chief of The Jerusalem Post. They discuss how the crisis is unfolding, why so little aid is getting through, and who is being held accountable.
Migrantska kriza ponovo puni medijske stupce u Bosni i Hercegovini i regiji, ali ne zbog novog vala migranata, već zbog planova EU i Velike Britanije o izgradnji migrantskih centara na Balkanu. BiH se spominje kao jedna od potencijalnih lokacija, što je izazvalo brojne reakcije i upozorenja. Da li će Balkan postati skladište za migrante? O mogućim posljedicama Maja Marić razgovara s kolegom Amirom Sužnjem i prof. Sandijem Dizdarevićem, stručnjakom za sigurnost. Von Maja Maric.
00:02:34;18 - 00:05:33;00Colorado's Gender Identity Policy for Youth CampsColorado mandates youth camps, including Christian Camp Idra Hagee, to allow facility use based on self-declared gender identity, sparking controversy.

Human Rights Watch upozorio zapadne zemlje na opasnost slanja migranata u pritvore u BiH. Epidemija leptospiroze u Sarajevu otvorila pitanje nemara i tendera. Petar iz Podgorice dijeli svoju priču o tome kako je živjeti sa alkoholizmom.
La ONG HRW denuncia que Estados Unidos expulsó 'injustamente' a 200 personas de diversos países, incluidos menores de edad, tras retenerlos 'en condiciones de detención abusivas' antes de trasladarlos al Centro de Atención Temporal para Migrantes (CATEM) en el sur de Costa Rica. La ONG estima que 'la complicidad' de Costa Rica con las expulsiones abusivas de EE.UU. daña su buena reputación como país de acogida para personas refugiadas'. Entrevistas: Mariana Rivera. Presentación: Ana María Ospina. En febrero pasado, aterrizaron en Costa Rica dos vuelos provenientes de los Estados Unidos con 200 personas migrantes expulsadas por el gobierno de Donald Trump. Human Rights Watch denuncia en un informe "violaciones claras de los derechos humanos por parte de Estados Unidos" y "una negligencia alta" por parte de Costa Rica al aceptar a estas personas sin las condiciones que garanticen sus derechos y necesidades.La mayoría de las personas deportadas son originarias de países en conflicto como Afganistán, la República Democrática del Congo, Irán, Rusia o Turquía, y solicitantes de asilo, aseguró el asesor jurídico principal de la División de Derechos del Niño de la organización, Michael García Bochenek, y principal autor del reporte.El informe documenta las expulsiones de Estados Unidos y denuncia condiciones de detención abusivas, negación de derechos al debido proceso y a solicitar asilo. También detalla que las autoridades de Costa Rica detuvieron durante dos meses a las personas expulsadas y retuvieron sus pasaportes, sin base legal. Además, les transmitieron mensajes contradictorios sobre su condición."Lo que hemos visto desde el principio ha sido una mezcla de mensajes por parte de Costa Rica. Primero, las autoridades de ese país hablaron solamente de regresarlos a sus países de origen. Pero esto nunca fue una posibilidad para la mayoría de estas personas. Estamos hablando de gente que ha sufrido persecución y que está huyendo de la guerra", señaló García Bochenek.A tres meses de su ingreso al país centroamericano, 97 de los migrantes expulsados de Estados Unidos aceptaron volver a sus países presionados por la situación, otros dejaron el Centro de Atención Temporal para Migrantes (CATEM), luego de que les devolvieran sus pasaportes.Aproximadamente 50 personas, entre ellas menores de edad, aún se encuentran en un limbo legal, y con la incertidumbre de saber si obtendrán un permiso humanitario especial de 90 días para solicitar asilo en Costa Rica o si deben regresar a su país."A fines de marzo estaban hablando de la posibilidad de ir a un tercer país, pero sin suministrar más detalles. Luego, hablaron de la posibilidad de solicitar asilo en Costa Rica. En este punto es en el que estamos ahora. Pero la gente no tiene el apoyo concreto que necesitan para convertir esto en una realidad", afirmó el asesor legal.Costa Rica, reputación en juegoMientras las autoridades costarricenses han defendido el papel del país como un "puente humanitario", para HRW, en cambio, "la complicidad de Costa Rica con las expulsiones abusivas de Estados Unidos daña su buena reputación como país de acogida para personas refugiadas"."En el sentido de que aceptaron a 200 personas sin plan para su futuro, sin una preparación adecuada para recibir a estas personas durante el tiempo que realmente iban a estar en Costa Rica. Ya van tres meses. Esto incluye falta de educación para los niños y falta de apoyo adecuado para los que no han aceptado regresar a sus países de origen", alegó Michael García Bochenek.Costa Rica aún está a tiempo de recuperar sus compromisos asumidos por décadas, dice Human Rights Watch: "El gobierno costarricense también debería—como remedio parcial por el daño que causó con dos meses de detención arbitraria y en reconocimiento de su responsabilidad por haber aceptado que se enviará a personas a Costa Rica contra su voluntad—proporcionar de inmediato autorización de trabajo, ayuda para la vivienda y, según sea necesario, formación laboral, clases de idioma y ayuda para encontrar trabajo a aquellos que deseen solicitar asilo en Costa Rica".Informe:https://www.hrw.org/es/report/2025/05/22/la-estrategia-es-doblegarnos/expulsion-de-ciudadanos-de-terceros-paises-desde

Non è un effetto collaterale. È il bersaglio. Lo dice Ehab Abo Khair, portavoce dell'ultima università rimasta in piedi a Gaza, prima che fosse occupata per 70 giorni e poi rasa al suolo dall'esercito israeliano. È il 17 gennaio 2025. Due giorni prima del cessate il fuoco. La distruzione sistematica delle scuole e delle università palestinesi non è un eccesso: è una dottrina. Secondo le Nazioni Unite, l'80% delle scuole di Gaza è stato distrutto. Tutte le undici università non esistono più. Hanno bruciato anche i libri. E la replica israeliana? Qualche condanna di facciata, la solita inchiesta-fantasma. Kenneth Roth, ex direttore di Human Rights Watch, ha parlato di violazioni gravi del diritto internazionale umanitario. Perché anche se in quelle aule ci fossero state armi – ipotesi mai dimostrata – la distruzione metodica di interi campus non ha alcuna proporzionalità militare. È una punizione culturale. Lo chiamano “scolasticidio”, un termine coniato nel 2009 dalla docente Karma Nabulsi per descrivere la cancellazione intenzionale dei sistemi educativi. Myriam Benraad parla di “epistemicidio”: l'assassinio della conoscenza come atto di guerra. Non si colpiscono solo i muri. Si spezza la possibilità stessa di ricostruire, di ricordare, di esistere come popolo. Cinquemila studenti, novantacinque docenti universitari e duecentosessantuno insegnanti uccisi. Oltre seicentomila studenti senza scuola da oltre un anno e mezzo. Mentre le bombe cancellano le aule, Trump arresta studenti solidali nelle università americane e taglia fondi. La guerra alla Palestina passa per l'annientamento del pensiero. Serve chiamarlo con il suo nome. Serve farlo ora. #LaSveglia per La NotiziaDiventa un supporter di questo podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/la-sveglia-di-giulio-cavalli--3269492/support.
Desde que Israel retomara su ofensiva contra Hamas en Gaza hace ya unos dos meses y rompiera el alto el fuego, las condiciones humanitarias en la Franja se han deterioridado de forma alarmante, debido a la presión israelí, que no permite que entre ayuda humanitaria acusando a Hamas de robarla.Federico Borello es director ejecutivo interino de Human Rights Watch.Escuchar audio
Roger and his partner Daniela arrived in the U.S. in January, conditionally approved as refugees by a US State Department-run program called the Safe Mobility Initiative. Hours later, she was deported. He was detained and then, he vanished. In this episode of Rights & Wrongs, host Ngofeen Mputubwele looks at what happened to Roger—and also examines the fate of 137 Venezuelans swept up under the Alien Enemies Act, a rarely used 18th-century law has only ever been used in times of war. What began with border agents at the Houston airport questioning Roger about his tattoos turned into ICE detention and a secret transfer to a maximum-security prison in El Salvador. Roger, who has no criminal record, hasn't been heard from since. Human Rights Watch's Akshaya Kumar explains how an obscure law once used to detain Germans during both World Wars is now being deployed in peacetime for mass deportations. And Roger's uncle, desperate for answers, shares how he watched helplessly as his nephew disappeared into a system where due process has collapsed—and fear has taken its place.

From September 26, 2023: On August 21, the Human Rights Watch released a report detailing systematic abuses of Ethiopian migrants and asylum seekers at the Saudi Arabia-Yemen border. Researchers interviewed dozens of Ethiopian migrants and asylum seekers and found that Saudi border guards had used explosive weapons on them and shot migrants at close range.Lawfare's Associate Editor of Communications Anna Hickey sat down with Joey Shea, a researcher in the Middle East and North Africa Division of Human Rights Watch who investigates human rights abuses in Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates. They discussed the Human Rights Watch recent report, how the international community has responded so far, and the human rights record of Prince Mohammed bin Salman since he ascended the throne in 2015.

They moved to the UK and then in the United States. Feroze grew up in Flint, MI. After graduating from Johns Hopkins University in 2004 with a bachelor's degree in public health he lived in Haifa, Israel for one year, working with a Palestinian-Jewish cooperative in the city. He then taught middle school in east Baltimore for one year before starting medical school at the University of Texas School of Medicine at San Antonio. During his time in medical school he also obtained a Master of Public Health from the Harvard School of Public Health.After finishing medical school, Feroze joined the general surgery residency program at Boston Medical Center.

After completing his fellowship, he moved to California where he now practices as a trauma surgeon at a county hospital and as a general surgeon in the Veterans Affairs Northern California Health Care System.Dr. Sidhwa critiques the United States' role in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict through a unique lens. He is a secular American with no ethnic or religious ties to the Middle East. He has a broad knowledge of Israeli and American academic work on the conflict, and closely follows the technical humanitarian, human rights, medical, political, economic, and environmental research done on the topic by Israeli, Palestinian, and international agencies. His public health degrees afford him a broad understanding of how these different areas affect the people of the region. He has no interest in any particular political solution to the conflict. And, most importantly to him, he has seen the conflict in person, seen what it is doing to Palestinians and to Israelis, and has treated its victims with his own hands.

They're chained to trees. Locked in sheds. Confined and forgotten — because they have a mental health condition. Across the globe, people with mental health conditions are shackled — hidden away, dehumanized, and neglected in overcrowded, filthy rooms, sheds, cages, even animal shelters. This week, host Ngofeen Mputubwele talks to Human Rights Watch researchers who are fighting to end this cruel practice — and to survivors who show that with the right support, healing and dignity are possible.

AP correspondent Karen Chammas reports on an appeal to the US by Human Rights Watch about Venezuela.
Today the leaders of Israel, Russia, and Hamas all stand accused of war crimes. Yet it seems doubtful that these men will ever face justice – so what's the point of international law? For 30 years, Kenneth Roth was the director of Human Rights Watch. In that time, his organisation exposed hundreds of human rights […]
Kenneth Roth, former executive director of Human Rights Watch, has spent over three decades at the forefront of the global human rights movement, challenging abusive governments and fighting for justice. In this episode of Full Disclosure, James O'Brien sits down with Kenneth to discuss his extraordinary career, from his early years learning his father's refugee story, to his pivotal role in shaping international human rights advocacy.Kenneth reflects on the strategies he employed to push oppressive regimes into compliance, from leveraging international pressure to navigating the complex geopolitics of the world's most powerful autocrats. He offers a candid look at the personal and professional challenges he faced while battling dictators like Putin, Xi Jinping, and Assad, and the lessons he's learned along the way.Insightful and unflinching, Kenneth shares stories of victories and setbacks, the evolution of the human rights movement, and how he remains motivated by the belief that positive change, however incremental, is always possible. This episode explores the sacrifices, triumphs, and complexities of a career dedicated to exposing injustice and holding the powerful accountable.

Timestamp to skip the intro and get straight to the case: (10:11) According to Human Rights Watch, it's estimated that about 90 per cent of crimes in Mexico are never reported, while a third of reported crimes are never investigated. About 2,600 foreigners have gone missing in Mexico in the past 15 years. In this episode of the True Crime Society Podcast, we discuss two separate cases of foreigners who have gone missing in Mexico. Canadian man Malcom Madsen was a snowbird who enjoyed traveling to Mexico every year. Malcolm purchased a home near Puerto Vallarta for his girlfriend Marcela Acosta. In 2018, the couple were seen on CCTV enjoying a night out at a local bar. Marcela could be seen putting a substance into Malcom's drink. Minutes later, they left the bar and Malcom was unsteady on his feet. He has not been seen since. Marcela and two accomplices have been sentenced to over 50 years in prison in relation to Malcom's disappearance. Australian woman Tahnee Shanks had been living in Mexico for years in 2022. She and her husband Jorge had been having marriage problems, and she planned to return to Australia with their daughter Adelynn. The family decided to take one last vacation together. In May 2022, Adelynn was found wandering alone and barefoot outside a church in Cancun. Now, almost three years later, both Tahnee and Jorge remain missing. Is Jorge on the run after killing Tahnee or could they both have been murdered by the Mexican cartel?

The cacophony of New York City is legendary. Sirens, construction, the endless thrum of traffic – it's a soundscape that defines urban life. But for some residents, this constant barrage isn't just an annoyance; it's a source of profound suffering, potentially amounting to a form of sonic intrusion that has serious health consequences. The question arises: does the city, in its toleration of this extreme noise, owe its citizens a debt – a debt measured in lost health, diminished quality of life, and the very real psychological harm that noise pollution can inflict? The Science of Sound and Suffering The impact of noise on human health is well-documented. Peer-reviewed scientific journals have published numerous studies detailing the physiological and psychological effects of excessive sound. Cardiovascular Health: The Journal of the American College of Cardiology has published research linking long-term exposure to traffic noise with an increased risk of hypertension, heart attacks, and stroke. The body's stress response, triggered by noise, can lead to chronic inflammation and damage to the cardiovascular system. Sleep Disruption: The journal Sleep has featured studies demonstrating that noise interferes with sleep patterns, leading to insomnia, fragmented sleep, and reduced sleep quality. This, in turn, can contribute to a range of health problems, including impaired cognitive function, mood disorders, and weakened immune systems. Mental Health: The World Health Organization (WHO) has recognized noise pollution as a significant environmental stressor. Research published in Environmental Health Perspectives has shown a correlation between noise exposure and increased rates of anxiety, depression, and other mental health issues. The constant bombardment of unwanted sound can overwhelm the brain's processing capacity, leading to feelings of helplessness, irritability, and emotional distress. Cognitive Function: Studies have also shown that noise can impair cognitive function, affecting concentration, memory, and learning. This is particularly concerning for children, whose developing brains are especially vulnerable to the negative effects of noise. Sonic and Musical "Torture": A Disturbing Precedent The idea that sound can be used as a tool of psychological manipulation or "torture" is not new. History, and indeed contemporary practice, offers disturbing examples. Military Applications: The use of loud noise and music as a form of psychological operation (psyops) has been documented in various contexts. Reports and articles discuss the use of repetitive, loud music played for extended periods, aimed at disrupting sleep, disorienting individuals, and breaking down resistance. While specific, detailed, and fully corroborated information on classified military operations is difficult to obtain, reports from organizations like Human Rights Watch and Amnesty International, along with academic studies of conflict zones, have discussed the use of sensory overload, including sound, as a tactic. The concept is that prolonged exposure to such stimuli can create a state of extreme stress and psychological distress, potentially leading to long-term psychological consequences. The U.S. Army Field Manual on Psychological Operations (FM 3-05.40) and similar documents from other nations, while not always explicitly detailing specific sonic methods, discuss the use of various stimuli to influence target audiences. {Enter The Multiverse} [The Festival Project ™] The Complex Collective © Copyright The Festival Project ™ | All Rights Reserved | The Complex Collective ©

From "Bloody Sunday" to Modern Activism: Civil Rights Leaders Reflect on LegacyThis show is made possible thanks our members! To become a sustaining member go to https://LauraFlanders.org/donate Thank you for your continued support!Description: 60 years ago in Selma, Alabama, state troopers beat peaceful protesters bloody on the Edmund Pettus Bridge as they marched for civil rights. The horror of “Bloody Sunday” and the resilience of the Civil Rights Movement ultimately led to the passage of the 1965 Voting Rights Act and many of the landmark achievements that are now directly under attack. As civil rights activists look to history to understand — and prepare for — the present, Laura walks the Bridge and talks with, among others, Sheyann Webb Christburg, who marched at the age of eight, Black Voters Matter co-founders LaTosha Brown and Clifford Albright; law professor and author Kimberlé Williams Crenshaw and Maya Wiley, President and CEO of the Leadership Conference on Civil and Human Rights. What does people power look like today? Plus, a commentary from Laura on name calling then and now.“We're not going to phone bank our way out of this. We're not going to text our way out of this. And in truth, we're not even going to vote our way out of this . . . It's going to take revisiting some of the same strategies that we saw here in Selma, in terms of nonviolent civil disobedience and direct action.” - Clifford Albright“When we see and hear and think about fascism, we think about anti-democratic movements in Europe. We think about the Holocaust . . . But for Black people, as Langston Hughes said, you don't have to explain to us what fascism is. We experienced it. That is what we were fighting, for the 60, 70 years after Reconstruction was overthrown.” - Kimberlé CrenshawGuests:• Clifford Albright: Co-Founder & Executive Director, Black Voters Matter• Willard and Kiba Armstead: Veteran & Spouse• Trayvon Bossa: Sigma Chapter Member, Miles College Phi Beta Sigma Fraternity• LaTosha Brown: Co-Founder, Black Voters Matter• Kimberlé Williams Crenshaw: Co-Founder & Executive Director, African American Policy Forum; Host of the Intersectionality Matters!

The lawyer Philippe Sands weaves together a story of historical crimes, impunity and the law in his latest book, 38 Londres Street. He uncovers the links between a Nazi hiding in plain sight in Patagonia and the military dictatorship of Augusto Pinochet, and the failed attempts to bring either to justice. Kenneth Roth has led Human Rights Watch for the last three decades, overseeing investigations into violence and oppression in countries all over the world. In Righting Wrongs he tells the stories of the wins and the losses, and the ongoing fight to uncover, and prosecute, abuses.The BBC's former Syria correspondent Lina Sinjab was forced into exile more than a decade ago after threats from President Bashar al-Assad's government. She could only watch as death and destruction ripped through her country, and those in power appeared to act with impunity. She looks at how Syria is faring since the fall of al-Assad's brutal regime.Producer: Katy Hickman
« Au Cameroun, à six mois de la présidentielle, le régime se durcit contre les défenseurs des droits de l'homme », déplore Maximilienne Ngo Mbé, la directrice exécutive du REDHAC, le Réseau des Défenseurs des Droits Humains en Afrique Centrale. Aujourd'hui, le REDHAC lui-même est dans le viseur du pouvoir, qui l'a suspendu en décembre dernier et qui poursuit à présent ses dirigeantes devant la justice. « Ce sont des décisions scandaleuses », affirme Human Rights Watch. Quelles sont les situations les plus préoccupantes ? RFI : Le 3 avril dernier, le Parlement européen a voté une résolution demandant aux autorités camerounaises de libérer cinq journalistes. Il s'agit des collègues anglophones Tsi Conrad, Mancho Bibixy, Kingsley Fomunyuy Njoka et Thomas Awa Junior, qui ont rendu compte du conflit armé dans les régions anglophones. Il s'agit également d'Amadou Vamoulké, l'ancien directeur général de la radiotélévision publique camerounaise, la CRTV. Votre réaction ?Maximilienne Ngo Mbé : C'est une petite joie pour nous, parce que les cinq journalistes que vous avez cités, le Redhac a été à leurs côtés. Nous avons mené des actions de plaidoyer depuis plus de cinq à sept ans. C'est donc avec beaucoup de joie que nous recevons cette décision. Nous osons croire qu'elle ne restera pas uniquement sur le papier et que l'Union européenne mettra tout en œuvre pour que leur libération soit effective.Quelles sont les autres personnalités actuellement emprisonnées au Cameroun pour leurs opinions politiques ou simplement pour leurs désaccords avec le pouvoir en place ?Nos pensées vont vers le professeur Alain Fogué, militant du Mouvement pour la Renaissance du Cameroun (MRC). Lui a été arrêté alors qu'il allait simplement rendre visite à son président, le professeur Maurice Kamto. Il y a aussi le porte-parole de M. Maurice Kamto, Bibou Nissack, qui a été arrêté chez lui, devant ses enfants et sa femme. Il n'était pas dehors pour manifester, cela ressemble à du kidnapping. Il y a aussi leurs camarades, ils sont 32 aujourd'hui, à rester en prison simplement parce qu'ils ont donné leurs opinions. Il y a aussi le cas de Marafa Hamidou Yaya, dont l'état de santé est très fragile.Marafa Hamidou Yaya a été secrétaire général de la présidence, il est tombé en disgrâce et en prison depuis 2012. Il souffre d'une grave maladie des yeux. Il y a un an, François Hollande a écrit à Paul Biya pour demander de le libérer pour raisons de santé, mais le président camerounais ne bouge pas. Pourquoi cette dureté contre ce prisonnier ?Je ne sais pas si c'est le président qui ne bouge pas ou si c'est la bureaucratie du président qui ne bouge pas. J'ai toujours eu à dire que depuis que je milite — cela fait quand même deux ou trois décennies – lorsque le président Paul Biya a été au courant d'une situation grave il a été prompt à réagir. Depuis un moment, on sait bien qu'il est un peu affaibli par l'âge. Est-ce que son entourage lui fait part de tout ? Je ne peux ni l'affirmer ni l'infirmer. En tout cas, M. Marafa, même pour raisons de santé, humainement, on peut dire qu'il a payé. […] Il devrait au moins pouvoir se faire soigner.Dans six mois, c'est l'élection présidentielle, prévue en octobre. Le parti au pouvoir, le RDPC, demande à Paul Biya, aujourd'hui âgé de 92 ans, de se présenter pour un nouveau mandat de sept ans. Est-ce que cette période est favorable à plus de clémence ou, au contraire, à plus de dureté ?J'avoue que, depuis un moment, on assiste à beaucoup de dureté de la part du gouvernement et du parti au pouvoir. Il ne lésine sur aucun moyen. Maintenant, c'est la même chose pour la justice, la police, l'armée. Vous êtes filé tout le temps, et vous êtes convoqué devant des juridictions. Le ministère de l'Administration territoriale promet la prison à tout le monde. Il empêche même un député de se mouvoir pour présenter son programme politique. Ce même ministère adopte une posture de durcissement de l'espace civique, au détriment de tout ce qu'on entend derrière sur le fait qu'il nous faut des élections pacifiques. Il y a un décalage entre le langage et les faits sur le terrain.Et ce durcissement, vous craignez qu'il s'intensifie à mesure qu'on va se rapprocher de la date du mois d'octobre prochain ?Bien sûr, il n'y a aucun doute là-dessus, si rien n'est fait.Pourquoi ?Parce que le président Paul Biya n'a toujours pas annoncé s'il sera candidat, jusqu'à aujourd'hui, personne ne le sait. Mais on pense que ceux qui sont restés longtemps à ses côtés au pouvoir veulent absolument qu'il continue, car cela leur permet de ne pas rendre de comptes. Ceux qui sont au pouvoir ont bénéficié de tous les privilèges et ont spolié les populations, ils sont à la manœuvre pour ne pas laisser le président, peut-être, aller se reposer et ils vont durcir de plus en plus l'espace. On attire l'attention des pays amis du Cameroun pour que cela ne se fasse pas. Il est donc grand temps que la France joue son rôle, aujourd'hui plus que jamais, pour que cela cesse.
“It has made nearly every person, every mother, to have their child contaminated, because the lead levels are so rampant,” says Cornelius Katiti, a father from Kabwe, Zambia, whose three children are affected by lead poisoning. For decades, the town has struggled with remediating 6.4 million tonnes of toxic lead waste left behind by a former mine. A Human Rights Watch report shows 95% of children in Kabwe have dangerously high lead levels. Cornelius, along with many others in the community, is left asking: who is responsible for the clean-up? In today's episode, Alan Kasujja explores the ongoing environmental and health impacts of mining with Cornelius, an environmental chemist , and an environmental consultant.
For nearly half a century, Human Rights Watch has shone a light on abuses, trying to hold perpetrators accountable. And for nearly three decades, Kenneth Roth was its executive director.

Shipbreaking Updated: The Most Dangerous Job in the World In mid 2024, students in Bangladesh organized mass protests and brought down the repressive government of Sheikh Hasana. The country is now under a caretaker government of Muhammed Yunus, a Nobel Laureate who is attempting reforms. Months before this Monsoon Revolution, we told you about shipbreaking, the waste management of industrial ships sent to Bangladesh that has been dubbed “the most dangerous job in the world.” Guest Rizwana Hasan was then the country's only environmental lawyer and fierce advocate against the shipbreaking industry. Today, she is the new government's Adviser for Environment, Forest and Climate Change. What has changed for shipbreakers under this new government. This week, host Ngofeen Mputubwele revisits last year's episode and catches up with Human Rights Watch researcher Julia Bleckner to understand this new moment in Bangladesh, and how it will impact shipbreaking.

Tercera noche de protestas en Turquía, especialmente en Estambul, después de que el pasado miércoles las autoridades arrestaran al alcalde de la ciudad y principal rival del presidente Erdogan, Ekrem Imamoglu. Miles de personas desafían los avisos del ejecutivo, que califica las protestas de ilegales y advierte que nos las tolerará.

00:08 — Kenneth Roth is a Visiting Professor at the Princeton School for Public and International Affairs. Previously, he served as the executive director of Human Rights Watch. His latest book is “Righting Wrongs: Three Decades on the Front Lines Battling Abusive Governments.” The post Kenneth Roth on Three Decades of Battling Abusive Governments appeared first on KPFA.
UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres said "Conditions for Palestinians in Gaza are appalling and apocalyptic. What we are seeing may well amount to the gravest international crimes." Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Gallant, said, "We are fighting human animals and we are acting accordingly." Prominent Israeli scholars such as Omer Bartov, Raz Segal, Ilan Pappe, Lee Mordechai and Amos Goldberg, have all said Israel's actions in Gaza amount to genocide. Amnesty International, Human Rights Watch, Jewish Voice for Peace, and other organizations have also reached the same conclusion. Apart from the U.S., Canada, and a few European countries Israel is largely isolated internationally.
