For one democratic state in whole PalestineThe call of Iran's president Ahmadinejad to wipe Israel off the map did not only evoke the expectable Zionist protests. This time they could drag behind the entire European establishment including the corporate media. The latter omitted that Ahmadinejad did nothing more than to refer the classical anti-Zionist position of the Palestinian liberation movement which does neither aggress Jews nor oppose the Jewish presence in Palestine altogether but does question the racist Jewish separate state Israel. On the other hand the often very small (pro)Zionist demonstration have been reported as if it would be official announcements.The anti-Iranian mobilisation in Europe results in a net success for the US war drive which for years has been launching a … [read more]

Declaration by Mauro Palma** Mr Palma is the Italian representative within the European Committee for Prevention of Torture and Inhuman or Degrading Treatment or PunishmentOne activity to prevent torture and other forms of maltreatment of persons deprived of liberty is doubtlessly to make the phenomenon known. These sad and cruel practices, far away from being overcome, must be exposed in their particular context, in their aims and their effects. Only knowing about torture its refusal can be built, consolidated as well as the conviction of the absolute necessity to prohibit it strengthened.Giving back voice to the victims, helping them to reconstruct their drama, listening to them, is part of their recovery because it gives them the possibility to find some usefulness within the … [read more]

In a statement dated Oct 26, 2005, the Shura Council of Mosuk denounces the foregone referendum and says that its results have been fabricated by the collaborationist government and the US.According to the statement, the real results were four Iraqi provinces with over 2/3 'no' majority (Anbar, Salahaldin, Nineveh and Baqouba), and several other provinces and cities with 'no' in the 40%s (Baghdad, Basra, Kirkuk, et al).The statement demands a poll repeat in Nineveh under international supervision (from countries not involved in the occupation) and in three weeks from now. Unless this demand is met, the statement calls on all patriotic Iraqis and political blocs to boycott the coming general election, scheduled for December.Interesting about the statement is also its rhetoric. It is … [read more]

Push Shia anti-occupation forces to boycott elections of Dec 15Illegal and illegitimateAny evaluation has first to re-iterate that the referendum held by the occupation forces is illegal according to international law. An occupying power is not allowed to change the institutional set-up of the occupied territory. The approval of the referendum by the UN once and again shows that it is either an instrument of imperialism or does not exist.No "democratic standards" whatsoever where met by the vote, something the US and their allies usually use against governments not complying to their dictate. Firstly, of all a vote under the bayonets of foreign occupation soldiers can never be free. Secondly, the voters' lists - as already for the fake elections of January 2005 -- were not based on the … [read more]

av Lars AkerhaugIrak - ingen normalisering Det kan virke tidlig ॠoppsummere folkeavstemningen om den irakiske konstitusjonen. Den langsiktige effekten av valget vil ikke và¦re umiddelbart synlig, men først manifistere seg i den langsiktige innvirkningen pॠden politiske situasjonen. Avstemningen var en del av den politiske prosessen som finner sted i Irak, som hovedsaklig sikter mot ॠnormalisere, stabilisere situasjonen. Slik er konstitusjonen en organisk del av den USA-styrte politisk prosessen. De som deltar i denne prosessen stà¥r ogsॠi et avhengighetsforhold. Derfor vil resultatene av folkeavstemningen først bli klart nà¥r vi ser hvilken innvirkning de hadde pॠde deltakende kreftene, sà¥vel som opposisjonen mot dem. Resultatene viser et … [read more]

Comment by Lars AkerhaugTo summarize the result of the constitutional elections in Iraq already might seem premature - in that the main effect of these elections will not be seen immediately, but rather in its long-term effect on the political movement. These elections were a part of what we might name "the political process" taking place in Iraq, aiming mainly to normalize, or stabilize the situation in the country. As such, the proposed constitution is an organic part of the US occupation on which the political forces participating in the political process depend. Thus, the result of the constitutional elections will mainly be seen in the effect it had on these forces and those opposing them.However it is worth summarizing at this point what can be observed. At the time of writing, … [read more]
