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.

Good to see kids taking a peek and seeming to be interested.

E' incredibile che questa fogna di paesino in cui vivo da una vita trovi ancora il modo di stupirmi. Oggi ho scoperto questa cosa, proprio al centro del pesello, in un buco nel muro di una specie di parco pubblico, ovviamente abbandonato. Devo dire che questa foto priva di tutto mi piace molto. Certo: se ci fosse stata una capoccia che spuntava da qualche parte modello 'cucù' sarebbe stata tutta un'altra cosa. Ma tant'é.

1,000+ people protested against the Government's controversial proposed Police, Crime, Sentencing and Courts Bill at Devonshire Green in Sheffield.

The proposed Bill includes proposals that would give police and the Home Secretary increased powers to stop protests on grounds of “serious annoyance or inconvenience” which if you’re a government minister could mean all of them.

It’s a serious erosion of civil liberties and democratic rights.
