Freedom, how long will it last?

This video presents a complete report and timeline of events. The government of Azerbaijan has forcibly evicted homeowners and demolished their homes for urban development projects in the capital of Baku. Dozens of families have been evicted from the neighborhood where the arena for the May 2012 Eurovision Song Contest is being built. Human Rights Watch has documented the authorities’ illegal expropriation of properties and forcible evictions of dozens of families in four Baku neighborhoods, at times without warning or in the middle of the night. The authorities subsequently demolished homes, sometimes with residents’ possessions inside. The government has refused to provide homeowners fair compensation for the properties, many of which are in highly desirable locations even though Azerbaijani law stipulates that market value should be paid in compensation for a forced sale. In many cases, including in the National Flag Square area, the government has cut services or begun dismantling apartment buildings in which some residents remained.

Azerbaijani opposition parties have held an unsanctioned demonstration in Baku to demand that authorities permit them to hold public gatherings in the center of the capital. Dozens of activists, united in a group called the Public Chamber, gathered in a downtown Baku park on May 14. Police prevented protesters from marching to the mayor’s office, and several demonstrators were arrested. It was the second protest this month by the Public Chamber, which plans to publicly protest human-rights violations in Azerbaijan during the hosting of the prestigious Eurovision Song Contest in Baku on May 22-26. ======================================================== Geysar Gurbanov is a civil rights activist from Azerbaijan.

This year one of the world’s biggest TV shows comes to Azerbaijan. Human rights organizations are urging the Azerbaijani government to address the truth about the country’s human rights record, and to release all Prisoners of Conscience (political prisoners and journalists) held since last spring following anti-government protests. In order to support this cause local journalists and human rights advocates have launched “Sing for Democracy” campaign. Azerbaijan’s human rights record deteriorated in 2011 and 2012. The government cracked down on all forms of protest and imprisoned dozens of youth activists after sham trials. Although the number of government-initiated criminal and civil libel cases against journalists decreased, the atmosphere for journalists and other critics remained hostile. The government’s so-called beautification campaign in central Baku, the capital, resulted in forced evictions and illegal demolitions. Restrictions on freedom of religion and torture and ill-treatment in custody also persisted. In 2012 among other cases, it is important to mention journalist Khadija Ismayil (who became a victim of sexual blackmail after her intimate video was released) and journalist Idrak Abbasov (who was severely beaten for filming illegal evictions).

DVD: www.amazon.com thefilmarchived.blogspot.com Voting machines are the total combination of mechanical, electromechanical, or electronic equipment (including software, firmware, and documentation required to program control, and support equipment), that is used to define ballots; to cast and count votes; to report or display election results; and to maintain and produce any audit trail information. The first voting machines were mechanical but it is increasingly more common to use electronic voting machines. A voting system includes the practices and associated documentation used to identify system components and versions of such components; to test the system during its development and maintenance; to maintain records of system errors or defects; to determine specific changes made after initial certification; and to make available any materials to the voter (such as notices, instructions, forms, or paper ballots). Traditionally, a voting machine has been defined by the mechanism the system uses to cast votes and further categorized by the location where the system tabulates the votes. Voting machines have different levels of usability, security, efficiency and accuracy. Certain systems may be more or less accessible to all voters, or not accessible to those voters with certain types of disabilities. They can also have an effect on the public’s ability to oversee elections. The first major proposal for the use of voting machines came from the Chartists in 1838. Among …

A fast scene of a huge march demanding the step-down of the government. Today 20th of April on Budaiya main road. A year has passed since the killing of peaceful demonstrators by the security forces as a result of the use of excessive force against peaceful protesters in Bahrain. Despite several announcements on positive steps being taken by the government to ensure accountability, we have not seen any outcome of reported government investigations into allegations of torture and it is unclear how many people involved in human rights abuses have been brought to justice. Hundreds of people are still facing criminal charges in Bahrain for exercising their rights to freedom of expression and assembly. Meanwhile, many others, dismissed from their work place or university for exercising these very rights have yet to be reinstated. Subscribe: www.youtube.com
