"كشف نشطاء حقوقيون عن تلقيهم معلومات تفيد بوفاة أحد المحاكمين عسكريا ويدعى أحمد رمزى المحكوم عليه بالسجن المشدد 7 سنوات على ذمة القضية رقم 154 جنايات شرق بعد تعرضه للتعذيب داخل سجن الوادى الجديد, فيما قالت المبادرة المصرية لحقوق الإنسان إنها تقدمت ببلاغ عاجل للنائب العام عبر الفاكس لمطالبته بفتح تحقيق عاجل في الموضوع."
"There have been three deaths at UK’s immigration detention centres in the past month, two in three days, highlighting a serious break down of duty of care by security staff, and the mental health impact on immigration detention."

Campsfield is a profiting making facility run by American GEO Group where detainees are held behind a twenty-foot high razor-wire topped fence, monitored throughout by surveillance cameras, and friends and relatives wishing to visit are searched before passing through five separate remote-controlled doors.
For me, it always comes back to the media and the moral values implicit in throwaway news stories - the ones we barely notice as we move through our day.
-
The story's payload isn't simply information, but dissociation: The reader, or news consumer, is not expected to feel more than a mild jolt at such words as "killed" and "target" or smell the smoke on the ground or see a face or sense the heartbeat of a dying "militant" or ponder the sanity of assassination by robot-delivered missile or question the pristine and righteous accuracy of a U.S. military operation or worry about the strategy of social disruption that it serves or wonder how any of this is keeping us safe.

The media can spread ignorance not merely by reporting inaccurate information, but by purveying even accurate or partially accurate information in a context devoid of the least moral intelligence.

"Demonstrations against austerity measures in Greece claimed their first fatalities on Wednesday with three people reported to have died inside a bank building set ablaze by protesters."
-
the international financial community sees opportunity in Greece's demise and has placed its bets there, which drives up the cost of borrowing if you're Greek. Just as here, Wall Street bets against state and local bonds have raised the cost of running city services.

Like in the U.S., since 1981 Greek wages have been essentially flat,

Obama just finished offering remarks on mine safety, following a meeting in the Oval Office with Labor Secretary Hilda Solis and MSHA chief Joe Main.
At least 19 miners were killed and 24 trapped by a mine explosion in the central Chinese province of Henan on Wednesday evening. The disaster occurred as rescue workers were still battling to save at least 153 construction workers trapped underground by a flood inside Shanxi’s Wangjialing coal mine project last Sunday.

It has been a bloody week for China’s coal industry, with four reported accidents. On Tuesday, 10 workers were trapped when the Shajihai mine collapsed in Hoboksar County in the north-western region of Xinjiang. On Thursday, nine workers lost their lives during a fire in Shaanxi province’s Quanzigou mine.
-
While official corruption is certainly a factor in China’s mine accidents, the scapegoating of junior officials and individual managers is a diversion from the real cause of the mounting death toll—a reckless drive for profit from the over-heated economy’s soaring demand for coal.

It is a scene played out in schools all over the world, but for one striking difference: Omsyatte's picture does not illustrate a recent family holiday, or jolly school outing, but the day an Israeli military offensive killed her nine-year-old brother and destroyed her home.
-
Like hundreds of displaced Gazans, Omsyatte's family have spent more than a year living in a tent on a site near their home. Little rebuilding work has been done during this time – with supplies unable to pass into Gaza because of the ongoing blockade imposed by Israel in 2007 – and groups of children now pick their way through piles of rubble, kicking footballs around the bombsites which used to be local landmarks.
It’s a cruel truth of foreign news reporting that the deaths of 67 Hindu devotees in a stampede in Northern India do not merit more than a few paragraphs in British newspapers. It’s far away, the connection isn’t strong, and large numbers die in temple stampedes in India on a regular basis.
At least 63 die in scramble for handouts, with the victims mainly women and children
On February 23, 2010, Cuban inmate Orlando Zapata Tamayo died after 83 days on hunger strike. He was 42. This is the first such incident since inmate Pedro Luis Boitel died in 1972 under similar conditions. The corporate media put the tragic incident on the front page and emphasized the plight of Cuban prisoners.
