  “The hardest thing about going back home is returning to jail.” Rabin, 19, from Kibbutz Harduf in northern Israel, was first imprisoned in August after appearing before the committee to appeal for an exemption. She was tried and sentenced to two different periods of incarceration, including during Rosh Hashanah, the Jewish New Year. Upon her release last week, Rabin thought she would be going home for a brief stint before another sentencing. But when she turned on her phone, she received a message from her attorney, Adv. Asaf Weitzen, who informed her that the committee had accepted her request and that she was being released.

The legislation bars religious conversions, except when a person “reconverts to his immediate previous religion” – a clause that critics say is aimed at enabling India’s many Hindu supremacist groups to convert Muslims and Christians into Hindus.

• Religions, Totalitarismes : le rire, premier ennemi
  23 juin 2022, par siawi3

  L’ironie représente un véritable danger : elle est le contraire de l’univoque et permet une lecture multiple du réel. Les énoncés au second degré requièrent des esprits libres pour être compris, et tout le travail des totalitaires consiste à contraindre les hommes au littéralisme.

  Compared to all the anarchy and violence which Indian campuses have seen, the State sponsored rowdyism of the kind we saw at JNU on the evening on 5 January, 2020 is a new low, as if what the Bhartiya Janata Party government has done since 2014 to tamper with the finest intellectual traditions of this University was already not enough.
