Burma ( Online and in danger in Burma- Blogger gets 20 yrs in prison )

Early moves by Thein Sein to ease Internet censorship are viewed as a limited concession to press freedom, since Burma has one of the lowest Internet penetration rates in the world. Now, planned foreign investments in mobile infrastructure promise to expand access, but a draft telecommunications law would leave intact many of the vague legal restrictions used to curb online freedoms in the past.

When police officers first arrested Nay Phone Latt in 2008, they were initially unaware that the former activist was an active blogger. Later that year, after interrogations in pre-trial detention, he was sentenced to 20 years in prison for blog entries he wrote about anti-government street protests held in 2007 and for posting online a poem he wrote that insinuated in a hidden message that then-junta leader Senior Gen. Than Shwe was “foolish with power.”

From Cape Town to Lilongwe, four photographers on routine news assignments in major southern Africa cities were assaulted by security officials in the past two weeks. The details differ, but the heavy-handed actions in each case reflect a belief among those responsible for security that they are above the law and not publicly accountable. These recent attacks in southern Africa also highlight a wider phenomenon: Every day, somewhere in the world, news photographers are subjected to physical abuse by security and public officials who wish to suppress or control the powerful message delivered by images.

BIG PINE KEY, Fla. -- A deer in the Florida Keys is breathing more easily after a deputy removed a Doritos bag from its head.
The Monroe County sheriff's deputy discovered the Key deer while on patrol late Saturday evening. Its entire head was stuck in the chips bag.
Sheriff's spokeswoman Becky Herrin says the deer allowed the deputy to remove the bag without a struggle.
Key deer are the smallest of the Virginia white-tailed deer subspecies and are endangered. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Services says the deer have been threatened by development, habitat loss and hurricanes.
Herrin reminds Florida Keys visitors to properly dispose of trash to protect animals from harm.

Mexico JUAREZ- Update ( Kidnapped Politician’s Body Found in Mexico - Man running for Mayor Dead ) Un -Real

CIUDAD JUAREZ, Mexico – The body of the Institutional Revolutionary Party, or PRI, candidate for mayor of Guadalupe y Calvo, a city in the northern Mexican state of Chihuahua, was found on a dirt road, officials said.

Jaime Orozco Madrigal’s body was discovered Wednesday on a road that leads to Guadalupe y Calvo, Chihuahua Gov. Cesar Duarte said in a press conference.

Orozco Madrigal was kidnapped on Monday night by several gunmen, the Chihuahua Attorney General’s Office said.

“Approximately 10 men” took the politician away in an SUV, an AG’s office spokesman told Efe.

The state AG’s office has launched “an operation to find those responsible and clear up” the politician’s killing, Duarte said.

Orozco Madrigal was in full campaign mode ahead of the July 7 local elections and the motive for his killing is unknown.

Guadalupe y Calvo, a city of about 50,000, has been plagued by violence for some time.

Gunmen killed Guadalupe y Calvo Mayor Ramon Mendivil Sotelo on Feb. 17, 2010.

Chihuahua has been one of the states most affected by the wave of drug-related violence in Mexico. EFE

MEXICO investigation ( Sellers of Lynching Video Under Investigation in Mexico ) WOW

 

SAN CRISTOBAL DE LAS CASAS, Mexico – An investigation has been opened into the sale of a video showing the lynching of three men in the southern Mexican state of Chiapas, officials said.

Domingo Gomez Castellanos, Diego Giron Mendez and Miguel Lopez Lunes were lynched for allegedly abusing and murdering Fidencia Santiz Lopez, an Indian woman who lived in San Cristobal de Las Casas, the Chiapas Attorney General’s Office said.

Citizens should avoid acquiring the video so that “they do not justify the crime,” the AG’s office said.

Police found the dead bodies of the woman and one of the men on June 5, the AG’s office said.

The other two men, who were still alive, were taken to a hospital, where they died a day later.

YouTube has been asked to remove the video of the lynching in the village of San Juan Chamula because it is “prohibited” material that “harms the investigation,” Chiapas Attorney General Raciel Lopez Salazar said.

Lynchings are common in Mexico, where people often take the law into their own hands, claiming they do not trust police and are fed up with the high crime rate. EFE
