Le Regroupement des arrêtéEs du G20 tient à réagir aux faits troublants révélés par le Chef de Police de Toronto, Bill Blair, à la dernière rencontre du Comité parlementaire de la sécurité publique. L’intrusion de la police dans le gymnase de l’Université de Toronto le dimanche 27 octobre, où toutes les 95 personnes présentes ont été arrêtées, était bel et bien illégale. Bill Blair a finalement admis que cette arrestation massive avait été effectuée sans mandat d’arrestation.

I write this from Srinagar, Kashmir. This morning's papers say that I may be arrested on charges of sedition for what I have said at recent public meetings on Kashmir. I said what millions of people here say every day. I said what I, as well as other commentators have written and said for years. Anybody who cares to read the transcripts of my speeches will see that they were fundamentally a call for justice. I spoke about justice for the people of Kashmir who live under one of the most brutal military occupations in the world; for Kashmiri Pandits who live out the tragedy of having been driven out of their homeland; for Dalit soldiers killed in Kashmir whose graves I visited on garbage heaps in their villages in Cuddalore; for the Indian poor who pay the price of this occupation in material ways and who are now learning to live in the terror of what is becoming a police state.

Carmen is from a Mayan community in Guatemala. Her life is at risk because she is campaigning against impacts of mining on her community's human rights. She has spoken at public meetings about her concerns about the Marlin Mine, which is owned by a subsidiary of Canadian mining company Goldcorp.

“You shouldn’t defend human rights, or you’ll be killed.”

Carmen Mejía received this warning several times in June.

Then, a month later, someone shot her fellow grassroots activist, Deodora Hernandez, in the eye at close range. At the time, Deodora was speaking out about the impact of a mine on her community's water supply. She was seriously wounded, but she survived.

The attempt on Deodora’s life underscores how seriously we must take the threats made against Carmen Mejía.

EAST JERUSALEM, Oct 20, 2010 (IPS) - A former captain in the Israeli Air Force, previously an ardent Zionist who lost many members of his family in the Holocaust, has been labelled a psychopath and denounced by many Israelis for the moral stand he has taken against the Israeli occupation.

Yonatan Shapira, 38, was fired from his job, has been verbally abused in public, subjected to death threats in newspaper talk-back comments, called a traitor by many Israelis, falsely charged with assaulting Israeli security forces, and interrogated by Israel's domestic intelligence agency, the Shin Bet.

While Israel often gets a lot of negative publicity for its brutal treatment of Palestinians and the inherent racism within its society, there is a growing core of Israeli human rights activists who are challenging government policy -- and paying a high price for their courage.
