Bolivia has broke ground in the articulation and assertion of rights many times in the last years & not only since Evo Morales was elected as popular leader of a Bolivarian style regime. & this week, in what must be welcome news to Irish Animal rights activists, law have been passed which define the use of animals in circus as "cruel & unusual". read full story / add a comment

The Transnational Chiquita company was actively involved and not for the first time in the overthrow of a Central American democratically elected Government . With its powerful allies in Washington the Obama Administration has not formally declared the ousting of President Zelaya as a Coup D'Etat which would require it under U.S. law to suspend all economic and military aid to the regime. read full story / add a comment

Here are extracts from a statement by 42 Arab Human Rights Organisations. They make clear their solidarity with the Iranian People and their opposition to the repression carried out by the Iranian Regime. Full text at link. We, the undersigned human rights organizations and advocates from the Arab region, express our condemnation of the brutal repression undertaken by the Iranian authorities against the Iranian people involved in peaceful demonstrations and protests against the course and outcome of the Iranian presidential elections. The repressive acts led to the death of dozens and the detention of thousands, including members of political opposition, journalists, workers and human rights defenders. The detainees have been subject to maltreatment and torture intended to force them to make false confessions or to give statements to be broadcast by the state media to distort the image of the popular uprising. The Iranian government has used the latter statements to support its fallacious claim that any dissonance or upheaval around the elections is merely the result of a foreign ploy to target Iran. read full story / add a comment
