Clad in yellow shirts and unfazed by arrests of activists and opposition leaders just hours before the rally, protesters marched from various spots towards the heart of Kuala Lumpur amid tight security."

Launch of “Freedom under threat” campaign to shine a light on the crackdown on rights and freedoms in Russia while the world is watching in the build-up to the Sochi Olympics in winter 2014.
The event involved an “Olympic relay” from Ottawa University with a colourful procession with music, costumes, acrobats, relay runners, and more. The relay ended at the Russian Embassy, where activists held a short demonstration holding signs and birthday cake for Putin, wishing for respect for human rights.

I find myself in an awkward position. I love using Flickr, but I may stop. I know this a photo exhibition site that people come to for pleasure. When I've posted potentially uncomfortable images from time to time I've felt like I'm upsetting the party somewhat. But as Yahoo are directly involved in this and I have that information, I feel obliged to use the means available to me to pass that information on. Do with it as you choose. Please copy the picture if you'd like to use it to promote the release of Shi Tao in some way.

Free Shi Tao
Chinese journalist, Shi Tao, is serving a 10 year prison sentence for sending an email from his Yahoo! account.
In 2004 Shi Tao sent details of an internal government directive instructing journalists how to handle media coverage of the anniversary of the Tiananmen Square crackdown to a US-based website.
He was charge with "illegally providing state secrets to foreign entities' and sentenced to 10 years' imprisonment. Disturbingly Yahoo! China provided account holder information to the Chinese Government which led to his unjust imprisonment.
Prior to his detention journalist Shi Tao had been working for the Changsha-based magazine Contemporary Trade News and had published numerous essays and political commentaries relating to social problems in China.
In April, 2004, Shi used his Yahoo! account to email a US-based website, sharing the details of an internal government directive instructing journalists how to handle media coverage of the anniversary of the Tiananmen Square crackdown.
Shi Tao was charged with "illegally providing state secrets to foreign entities" and sentenced to 10 years imprisonment. According to the court transcript, evidence that led to the sentencing of Mr. Shi included account-holder information provided by Yahoo! Disturbingly, it has recently come to light that Yahoo! may have also released data which could have contributed to the arrest of another dissident, Li Zhi.
Amnesty International considers Mr. Shi a prisoner of conscience, imprisoned for peacefully exercising his right to freedom of expression and for the legitimate exercise of his right to seek, receive and impart information, as guaranteed in international law and the Chinese Constitution.
Amnesty International believes Shi Tao to be one of several targets of a police crackdown in late 2004 and early 2005. During this period, several rights activists and dissidents were reportedly detained or placed under surveillance in their homes. The reasons for these detentions appeared to be to prevent them from engaging in public activities deemed politically sensitive by the authorities in preparation for the 15th anniversary of the Tiananmen Square crackdown.

Hoogkerk/Groningen, Leegeweg, 03-09-2008. Blijkbaar is iemand het er niet mee eens dat er een bordje met de plaatsnaam Hoogkerk staat tussen De Held en Gravenburg.
Zondag zag ik aan de Bangeweer een bordje, waarop "gemeente Groningen" was doorgestreept. Blijkbaar iemand die terugverlangt naar de dagen waarin Hoogkerk nog zelfstandig was.
Hoogkerk/Groningen, Leegeweg, 03-09-2008. Hoogkerk is a village that became a part of the municipality Groningen in the 1970's. This sign is placed at quite some distance from the actual village Hoogkerk, between two new districts of the city Groningen, De Held and Gravenburg. Apparently someone thinks this sign should say Groningen instead of Hoogkerk.
Last Sunday I saw another Hoogkerk sign, on the road Bangeweer, where someone had sprayed away the gem. Groningen (municipality Groningen), that way pointing out that Hoogkerk should still be an independent village.

Hoy 27 de Junio es el Día Nacional del Periodista en Venezuela pero no hay nada que celebrar... Ha pasado un mes desde que fue cerrado por el Gobierno el canal más antiguo e importante del país, la prensa esta cada día más condicionada por el riesgo de sufrir sanciones y el Premio Nacional de Periodismo se entrega en un salon bañado de rojo a comunicadores que más bien cumplen funciones de alabar en vez de informar...
Lo antes era una fecha para celebrar hoy se ha convertido en un día de protestas
Today, June 27th, is the Journalist Day here in Venezuela but there's nothing to celebrate... It's been one month since the Goverment shut down the oldest and most important tv channel of the country.

Studio Total, a Swedish marketing and advertising agency, arranged an airdrop of 800 teddy bears with protest slogans in support of freedom of speech in Belarus. Alexander Lukashenko, the Belarusian president, in desperation, fired two top generals and the minister of foreign affairs in response. Studio Total used “Teddy Bear Airdrop Minsk” to expose the lack of free speech in Belarus.
