  Certes, Emmanuel Macron est le premier président de la République à « faire l’effort » de rendre hommage aux victimes. Mais le rôle de l’anticommunisme d’Etat qui régnait à l’époque ? Celui du gouvernement ? Circuler, il n’y a rien à voir.

• Pakistan: The Council of Islamic Ideology on blasphemy
  3 March, by siawi3

  Many opportunities to address religious extremism in the country have been squandered because it required taking difficult decisions and the resolve to stand by them. In fact, we have regressed. The state has ‘mainstreamed’ an ultra-right group that is at the vanguard of the murderous witch-hunt against alleged blasphemers. In any case, the government should not look to the Council of Islamic Ideology (CII) for remedies.

• Support lesbians living in dire conditions at the Kenyan UN Kakuma refugee camp
  5 March, by siawi3

  Kakuma Camp has a special unit, Block 13, where all the LGBTQI refugees are placed . There are 26 lesbians living there now, 17 of their children and about 10 other LGBTQI folks.
  Two gay men were set afire, killing one and maiming the other. More than once Block 13 has been fire bombed, and lesbians regularly face rape and other violent attacks. The UNHCR has not processed Block 13 residents refugee status - for years for some of them- much longer than the usual time frame for refugees. Nor have they been allowed passes to be able to move outside of the camp in Kenya. They are absolutely stuck with no relief in sight. This is an untenable situation and a human rights disaster.

  11 mars, par siawi3

  Les violences qualifiées de « ratonnades », « non pas celles des autorités et de leurs représentants mais bien celles de Français, nés là-bas, se nourrissent d’un rapport de domination, empruntant à toutes les formes d’oppressions possibles (économiques, sociales, politiques, juridiques, culturelles) et s’ancrent dans un espace urbain ségrégué ».
