9 Catalan pro-independence leaders convicted to prison over 2017 referendum case charged with prison sentences ranging from 9 to 13 years.
World leaders cannot remain silent. All need to speak out against this injustice!

Spain has broken today with Catalonia. The Catalans had already done it. A country that only has to show the police and prevailing judges is a sunken country that has already lost.

i like these visually democratic scenes. their lack of human element maybe leaves them flat as far SP goes, but i enjoy them as records of place and time.

This is Yolanda. I met her last night behind the MSNBC set during the first night of the Democratic National Convention here in Denver. Yolanda is visiting us from Florida and volunteering for the Obama campaign. She is the epitome of enthusiasm and loves herself some Barack.

The Reichstag, a national symbol of Germany, was built between 1884 and 1894 in the Neo-Renaissance style in the Tiergarten district on the left bank of the Spree River, according to plans by the architect Paul Wallot. From 1995 to 1999, the Reichstag was fundamentally redesigned by Norman Foster for permanent use as a parliament building. Since then, the German Bundestag has met there.
Der Reichstag, ein Nationalsymbol Deutschlands, wurde nach Plänen des Architekten Paul Wallot zwischen 1884 und 1894 im Stil der Neorenaissance im Ortsteil Tiergarten am linken Ufer der Spree errichtet. Von 1995 bis 1999 wurde der Reichstag für die dauerhafte Nutzung als Parlamentsgebäude von Norman Foster grundlegend umgestaltet. Seither tagt dort der Deutsche Bundestag.

A democratic deficit (or democracy deficit) occurs when ostensibly democratic organisations or institutions (particularly governments) fall short of fulfilling the principles of democracy in their practices or operation where representative and linked parliamentary integrity becomes widely discussed.

as i was moving to get closer this guy opened his eyes and looked at me, so waved and moved on. i usually only feel bad if the other person knows i'm interested in shooting their plight, as if that somehow magnifies it. if they don't know, i have no qualms.
there's probably a contradiction in there somewhere, but it's hard to explain.

Happy Newroz, Kurdish New Year, but also for all other Iranian peoples (Persians, Afghans, Tajiks ...), Newroz celebrates the Spring, the Rebirth of Life and Nature, and for Kurds it symbolizes the Freedom, in fact according to the kurdish legend, Kawa the Blacksmith killed the evil king Zohak and freed from tyranny all peoples of the empire. That's why Newroz is also the National Kurdish Day.

Nepal, officially the Federal Democratic Republic of Nepal, is a landlocked country in South Asia and, as of 2010, the world's most recent nation to become a republic. It is bordered to the north by the People's Republic of China, and to the south, east, and west by the Republic of India. With an area of 147,181 square kilometres (56,827 sq mi) and a population of approximately 30 million, Nepal is the world's 93rd largest country by land mass and the 41st most populous country. Kathmandu is the nation's capital and the country's largest metropolitan city.
Nepal is a country of highly diverse and rich geography, culture, and religions. The mountainous north has eight of the world's ten highest mountains, including the highest, Sagarmatha, known in English as Mount Everest. The fertile and humid south is heavily urbanized. It contains over 240 peaks more than 6,096 metres (20,000 ft) above sea level.
By some measures, Hinduism is practised by a larger majority of people in Nepal than in any other nation. Buddhism, though a minority faith in the country, is linked historically with Nepal as the birthplace of Siddhartha Gautama, who as the Gautam Buddha gave birth to the Buddhist tradition.
A monarchy throughout most of its history, Nepal was ruled by the Shah dynasty of kings from 1768, when Prithvi Narayan Shah unified its many small kingdoms. In 2006, however, decade-long People's Revolution by the Communist Party of Nepal (Maoist) along with several weeks of mass protests by all major political parties of Nepal culminated in a peace accord, and the ensuing elections for the constituent assembly voted overwhelmingly in favor of the abdication of the last Nepali monarch Gyanendra Shah and the establishment of a federal democratic republic in May 28, 2008. The first President of Nepal, Ram Baran Yadav, was sworn in on 23 July 2008.
The word "Nepal" is believed by scholars to be derived from the word "Nepa:" which refers to the Newar Kingdom, the present day Kathmandu Valley. With Sanskritization, the Newar word Nepa became Nepal. The Newars of present day Nepal, refer to all the inhabitants of Kathmandu valley and its peripheries (called "Nepa:") before the advent of Shah dynasty.
