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.

The United States delegation engaged in a dialogue with over 80 representatives of civil society March 12 one day before presentation to the U.N. Human Rights Committee of the Fourth Periodic Report on implementation of the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (ICCPR) in the United States.

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."

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.

'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.

Manila Aug. 19 -- A Filipino protester is punched by a police officer after militant students stormed the gates of the Malacanang Presidential Palace in Manila, Philippines on August 19 2009. Some 20 students were arrested, after a group of activists broke through the gates of the Malacanang Palace during a lightning rally. The group launched a protest to express outrage over reported lavish dinners of Philippine President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo abroad, which they allege were paid with taxpayers' money. (Luis Liwanag)

Durante muchos años en España, esta palabra fue tabú. No tantos años después y desde muchos ámbitos de la sociedad, los encargados de darle sentido, la utilizan con la libertad de denunciar hechos “poco edificantes” con relación a los que caminan enfrente, olvidando o no viendo a los que caminan por su misma acera. El que hoy te pone mesa y mantel, puede que mañana te eche de comer sobre la misma acera por la que no le quisiste ver caminar.

Hay frases históricas recurrentes, como que en vez de preguntar lo que mi país puede hacer por mí, que puedo hacer yo por mi país, y muchos pensaremos ¡coño! ya pago mis impuestos, precisamente eso es lo que se pretende, que pagues y no preguntes. Evitemos que la ventana que nos permite ver la luz, se vaya cerrando poco a poco y nos vuelva a dejar en la más absoluta oscuridad. Añadámoslo a lista de deseos para el año que comienza, con la certeza que ayudará a mejorar la situación actual y la venidera de todos, y no solamente la de unos pocos.

To the U.S. and other governments and corporations involved in the crackdown on WikiLeaks:

 

We call on you to stop the crackdown on WikiLeaks and its partners immediately. We urge you to respect democratic principles and laws of freedom of expression and freedom of the press. If WikiLeaks and the journalists it works with have violated any laws they should be pursued in the courts with due process. They should not be subjected to an extra-judicial campaign of intimidation.

Two Blood Shoes

 

A poem by Peter S. Quinn

  

Well, it's one for the war,

Two for the woe

Both to get ready

Now go, Bush, go.

 

But please first try on them two Blood shoes.

You can do anything but first try on them two Blood shoes.

 

Well, you can push me down,

Kick in my face,

Bomb my place

Many different ways.

 

Do anything that you want to do, but uh-uh,

Bush, first try on them shoes

Please first try on them two Blood shoes.

You can do anything but first try on them two Blood shoes.

 

You can bomb each town,

Steal the oil,

Our antics spoil

Confuse and embroil.

 

Do anything that you want to do, but uh-uh,

Bush, first try on them shoes

Please first try on them two Blood shoes.

You can do anything but first try on them two Blood shoes.

  

(Parody to "Blue Suede Shoes")
