‘Cuba’s biggest “crime”: its desire to be a sovereign and independent nation’

in

Saul Landau: Later you went to prison at Lompoc [California]?

Gerardo Hernandez: Yes, we had a legal battle to get us out of “the hole” and into the general population. Then came the trial, and after the trial, another month back in “the hole.” Then, after the sentencing, they sent us to different penitentiaries. I was sent to Lompoc in 2003, and into “the box.” That happened in all 5 prisons on the same day. It still isn’t clear why, or who gave the order.

For nuclear sanity

India should welcome Obama’s call for a nuclear weapons-free world and launch a spirited campaign for the rapid elimination of nuclear weapons worldwide.

PRESIDENT Barack Obama’s April 5 speech in Prague calling for a world free of the scourge of nuclear weapons is a major foreign and security policy initiative that deserves applause.

Despite the economic doom and gloom, catastrophes in fish farms and wild rivers, controversial multi-billion dollar highway schemes, in this election no one seems to care. Instead, the first 10 days of the election have been "virtually a referendum on the carbon tax" reported UVic political scientist Norman Ruff.

Yikes! In a world running amok, this is it? With seemingly pivotal decisions facing BCers on every front, the carbon tax debate shows the depressingly low level of the climate change conversation -- and of our politics.

Policemen: part of criminal world?

Many Russians do not trust the police as they consider many of them a part of the criminal world, rather than enforcers of the law, says Boris Kagarlitsky.

Manuel Rosales: peripecias de un “baluarte de la democracia”

Rebelión

La buena suerte de Manuel Rosales se le está terminando. La “prensa libre” del continente lo elevó a las alturas de un honesto y sacrificado líder democrático, opositor a Hugo Chávez, y obligado por eso mismo a buscar refugio en el Perú.
