2008-05-30 18:28:00 Amnesty International has just released its 2008 report regarding the state of the world's human rights.Concerning the repression of religious minorities, most prominent were the struggles of the Baha'is of Egypt and Iran.Regarding Egypt, the report states the following in reference to the identity documents matter:The legal requirement to specify religion on identity papers, and only religions recognized by the state, continued to have serious implications for some minorities. Baha’is, whose faith is not recognized by the state, cannot obtain identity papers without posing as a Muslim, Christian or Jew. Without the papers, they cannot enroll children in school, drive a car, or open a bank account. The lack of identity papers also leaves them vulnerable during police checks. Converts, especially from Islam to Christianity, also faced difficulties changing their papers.As to Iran, it reported a brief account of the current escalation of oppressive practices against the Baha'i po...

Contact your elected "officials" in the U.S. Senate and tell them "no" to the stealth amnesty provisions that have been attached to the Iraq War Funding Supplemental Bill.

Tell your senators to just say "no."H/T/ FAIRSenators Dianne Feinstein (D-CA) and Larry Craig (R-ID) successfully attached a version of AgJOBS onto the bill.

AN AMERICAN WARNING - ANOTHER AMNESTY BILL - VERY URGENT
2008-05-18 05:18:00 An American Warning - 5/17/08 Big Big Issue? You?re not going to believe this? but I hope you hear this and I hope you get really pissed off when I tell you. Keep in mind? we still have a little bit of time here? but it?s only because the House of Representatives unexpectedly delayed the Iraq supplemental spending Bill Thursday, the full Senate won't be allowed to vote on the amnesty bill that the Senate Appropriations Committee unexpectedly took up and approved Thursday and attached to it. If you didn?t catch that? I?ll spell it out. There is an AMNESTY Bill attached to an IRAQ spending bill. So in order to fund our troops and their safety? Feinstein wants to trade that for Criminal Amnesty. It now looks like the full Senate won't be allowed to vote on the amnesty for around 1.3 million illegal alien ag workers (plus their families) until next Wednesday. That gives us some time to beat this atrocity. This bill is sick and really does about four things. - Grant a three-year ...

Amnesty says torture widespread in Indonesia
2008-04-16 15:45:00 Torture and other human rights abuses are still widespread in Indonesia 10 years after the fall of dictator Suharto, Amnesty International says.Though the government ratified the UN Convention Against Torture and instituted key legal reforms after Suharto's demise, Amnesty receives reports of abuse "on a regular basis," according to a briefing paper by the rights group."As of early 2008, old and new national laws continue to offer inadequate safeguards to deter the use of torture and ill-treatment in all circumstances," the report says."This context of widespread use of torture and other ill-treatment is aggravated and supported by a pattern of impunity throughout the country, which can be perceived by perpetrators as giving them license to continue violating human rights."Indonesia News Blog: http://indosnesos.blogspot.com-
