"We want from USA to cancel article 140 from Iraqi Constitution."
Article 140 states, "First: The executive authority shall undertake the necessary steps to complete the
implementation of the requirements of all subparagraphs of Article 58 of the
Transitional Administrative Law.
"Second: The responsibility placed upon the executive branch of the Iraqi
Transitional Government stipulated in Article 58 of the Transitional
Administrative Law shall extend and continue to the executive authority elected
in accordance with this Constitution, provided that it accomplishes completely
(normalization and census and concludes with a referendum in Kirkuk and other
disputed territories to determine the will of their citizens), by a date not to exceed
the 31st of December 2007."
The goal of the article is to reverse some of the forced arabization of Kurdistan that took place under the previous government.
I don't know what issue these protestors have with the article, but they clearly feel that Kirkuk is their home.

Their message was compelling, yet easy for the people on their way in to just see it as an anti-Bush message and say "Oh, I'm part of the solution" and keep walking.We got held up because of the "bomb threat" which was the result of a device which may or may not have been designed to look like a molotov cocktail. They shut down streets, told us to hide behind buildings, mixed it up with protestors, arrested a few people, and went back to business as usual. I heard about all this from the undercover lady FBI agent. It always sucks to hear about these things from law enforcement because they often have, shall I say, a particular perspective on these types of events.The lack of good information, especially timely information, was an ongoing theme of this event. Watching the events later on the TV you either got the "Oh this was street theater" clip from the cops where they strongly alluded to the fact that they had made a mistake in flipping out over a paper mache "device" or you saw the one where they were much more bitter, defensive and self-righteous. Very "blame the victim." Guess which one made the nightly news?
20170516 Lydia Cacho, Témoris Greko, Carmen Aristegui, Jorge Meléndez encabezaron una protesta frente a la secretaria de gobernación por el asesinato del periodista Javier Valdez Cárdenas, seguidos de decenas de personas consternadas ante la difícil situación que vive la libertad de expresión en México pues en lo que va del 2017 han sido asesinados seis representantes de los medios de comunicación, sin mencionar las distintas agresiones que se vuelven cada vez más cotidianas en un país que se ha convertido en el más peligroso del continente Americano para ejercer esta tan necesaria profesión.

Protesters gathered on the Haigis Mall of the University of Massachusetts to mourn the death of New Jersey state police officer, Philip Lamonoco, and protest the lecture, “The Great Western Massachusetts Sedition Trial: 20 years later” that took place at the Isenberg School of Management on Thursday, November 12, 2009. The lecture, originally planned to include Ray Luc Levasseur, former leader of the United Freedom Front, was forced to continue without Levasseur because of the U.S. parole board’s decision to not allow him to cross state lines as part of his parole restrictions.
