An icon of political correctness. Every ideology has good and bad points, promotion of a victim of an accident in a square devoted to our heroes might help to challenge some veiws of disability yet it also reinforces the special status and protection afforded to selected classes of persons.

Rund 2500 Menschen beteiligen sich an einer Demonstration unter dem Motto "Berlin gegen 13" gegen die geplante Reform des Urheberrechts. Aufgerufen hatte das Bündnis "Berlin gegen 13". Die Teilnehmer befürchten eine Einschränkung der Meinungsfreiheit durch den Artikel 13 der geplanten europäischen Urheberrechtsreform. So könnten Uploadfilter entstehen, die technische Fehler aufweisen oder bewusst zur Zensur missbraucht werden könnten.

Whitehall and Trafalgar Square, London, United Kingdom, Saturday 18 January 2025.
A line of Met Police vans from all over the UK awaits along Whitehall, while kettling is in progress at Trafalgar Square, during the 23rd national demonstration for Palestine.
The plaque on the last van indicates that it's from South Yorkshire.
The Nelson's Column can be seen in the background.
The original agreement between the Met Police and Palestine Solidarity Campaign, the main organisers of the demonstration, was that the 23rd march would start from Portland Place and end at Whitehall.
Two of the previous marches also started at Portland Place, where the BBC headquarters are located.
A few days before this 23rd march however, the Met Police backtracked on the agreement and declared an exclusion zone around Portland Place.
Subsequently, the march was further restricted into a static demonstration, constrained to Whitehall, which is about 1.5 miles (2.5 kilometres) away from the BBC headquarters.
After the demonstrators moved from Whitehall to Trafalgar Square the kettling and arrests started.
"This is what the rest of the world may see more and more of the United Kingdom, while British citizens may never again be allowed to protest against censorship and propaganda outside the BBC headquarters."
- Merton Friends of Palestine
Various statements have also been issued by the Met Police and Palestine Solidarity Campaign.
The Met Police has been exercising the powers granted to them in 2023 by the Public Order Act, also known as Public Order Bill, or Anti-Protest Bill.
This is an explanation by Amnesty International of what the Act entails:
www.amnesty.org.uk/blogs/campaigns-blog/public-order-bill...
As of January 2025, the Human Rights Act 1998, which gives effect to rights and freedoms guaranteed under the European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR), is still in force in the United Kingdom.
The ECHR includes the following articles:
Article 10
FREEDOM OF EXPRESSION
"Everyone has the right to freedom of expression. This right shall include freedom to hold opinions and to receive and impart information and ideas without interference by public authority and regardless of frontiers."
Article 11
FREEDOM OF ASSEMBLY AND ASSOCIATION
"Everyone has the right to freedom of peaceful assembly and to freedom of association with others, including the right to form and to join trade unions for the protection of his interests."

Today I choose to publish these discarded images from a multiexposed film with light leaks from my 1930 Rolleicord Art Deco camera. You will understand what, as in Macbeth, made the green turn red.
The ugliest goat in Greece
was looking for its fleece.
I found it first,
and let it burst
while keeping just a piece.
Hoorray !
In every country in the Americas, the relationship between democracy and a free press has tensions and complications. In some countries, outright violence, censorship, or indirect restrictions on freedom of information threaten the free exchange of ideas and information, while in others, the threats to a free press are more subtle and pernicious—including disinformation, propaganda, and manipulation. In all cases, the press remains an essential tool to fight corruption and guarantee democratic accountability. As a result, efforts to expand transparency, freedom of expression, and access to information remain critical across the hemisphere.
The Inter-American Dialogue is proud to partner with Fundamedios USA, the Organization of American States, the IACHR Special Rapporteurship for Freedom of Expression, Freedom House, the Pan American Development Foundation, and Colpin for a sustained conversation on the interplay between media and democracy in the Americas. This conference brings together Hispanic journalists in the United States with their counterparts in Latin America to discuss common challenges.

Photograph taken at 06:56am on July 26th 2011 within the skateboard arena on London's South Bank, located underneath the Queen Elizabeth Hall, near the Festival Pier and very much a part of the central London scene. Home to world championships and freedom of expression that is both artistic and refreshing, this vibrant and energetic location has fallen victim sadly to red tape and beaurocratic stupidity which will likely see the arena closed for good in the near future.

'The cry of the imprisoned'. A protest against the journalists, writers, poets, cartoonists and other artists, imprisoned under the draconian Digital Security Act was organised by Baki Billah, Sarwar Tushar and Shaikat Amin. The event featured songs, poetry, drama, illustrations and film at Shahbag Square in Dhaka, the equivalent of Tahrir Square in Bangladesh. A record number of arrests have been made during the COVID-19 period.
Artists Humaira Fehrooz performs at the event.
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.

A conference organised by the Asia Democracy Network and the East Asia Institute in Seoul on November 24-25. The main aim of the conference was to bring the Community of Democracies together with civil society representatives from Asia in preparations towards the Eighth Ministerial Conference of the Community of Democracies, to take place in July 2015 in El Salvador.
Participants of the conference discussed different aspects of the Community's work and ways of improving and developing them. The panels deal with different topics, including: challenges in democracy support; enabling and protecting civil society; Community of Democracies governance and effectiveness, and more.
"Thousands of anti-government protesters marched in Malaysia’s capital on Saturday demanding the resignation of the prime minister, Najib Razak, over his alleged involvement in a multibillion-dollar misappropriation scandal.
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."
