Clouds of tear gas billow all around. A line of riot police waits in Taksim Square, just outside the park’s walls.The young people mill around, increasingly roused by adrenaline, and try to organize themselves. A girl hands out lemons — apparently they help with the effects of the gas. At first it’s just the kids who have been camping in the park, but as word spreads, crowds of supporters materialize out of the night. Soon there are tens of thousands of people in a tense standoff with with the cops. Some people are throwing rocks and Molotovs at the police, and volleys of tear gas…http://www.twitpic.com/cwwrdl

The latest is that a group of 20 or so people have been wrangling with Dane County Parks officials as they try to find a legal place to camp since leaving a privately owned site last week. When parks officials on Friday challenged the legality of their encampment at Lake Farm Park on the south side of Madison, some confused squabbling over campground rules followed.

#occupy #ows #p2 #p21 #tlot #tcot #TeaParty Interview with Ghazi Beji: atheism as a crime! http://atunisiangirl.blogspot.com/2013/04/interview-avec-ghazi-beji-latheisme.html TRANSLATED FROM FRENCH BY GOOGLE CHROME TRANSLATOR In Tunisia, two years after the popular uprising that led to the departure of the dictator ZABA, trials opinion multiply … Most of these cases are brought under the broad heading of damage to religious or moral damage to the sacred. One example is the trial of Al Ghazi Beji and Jabeur Majeri. Indeed, ” Monday, June 25, 2012, the Court of Appeal upheld the judgment Monastir the trial court that sentenced Mehdia Al Jabeur Mejri young surfer, to imprisonment for seven years and a half. The same judgment was given by default against Ghazi Beji that, he was forced to leave the country seeking political asylum abroad, following the indictment of two young surfers to have caused serious material damage by the publication of photographs and writings on their Facebook pages. “* I had the opportunity to interview Ghazi Beji via Facebook and here is the exchange that took place between us: 1) if you start by introducing yourself to International Opinion readers? Ghazi Beji, 28, holds a bachelor's degree in food and biotechnology. I am originally from the Tunisian city of Mahdia. I am the author of the book The Illusion of Islam. 2) With your friend Jabeur Mejri you end sentenced in March 2012 to 7 ½ years in prison, sentence upheld in June following the Court of Appeal reached Monastir to religious morality, defamation, and disturbing the public order. Can you return to this mishap? After the revolution, I wrote a book called the illusion of Islam and my friend Jabeur Mejri wrote a book in English called Dark Land, or have criticized the fascist religious Tunisia and the exclusion of others in the name of Islam. We were sentenced to 7 years and a half in prison and a fine of 1,200 dinars. Jabeur was arrested on 5 March 2012. As for me, I managed to run away and leave my country on 8 March 2012. I had an amazing career: Libya, Algeria – Turkey then I went to Turkey to Greece to swim. Thereafter, I had from Macedonia and Serbia and Romania and finallyI had the subsidiary protection. Unfortunately, I have been targeted and attacked by Islamic extremists while I continued to move me from one country to another: Hungary-Austria-Switzerland-France. 3) How do you see this verdict and the trial in general? This is an attack on my freedom of expression because the religious do not believe in democracy. Their goal in life is to destroy the lives of human beings. They can not digest the fact that someone is happy, they want everyone to livein the shit (lol) 4) You've managed to run away and leave Tunisia. However, we heard that you had to face many difficulties and problems. Can you talk about that? I met several constraints in Libya with jihadi groups in Algeria I spent 15 days in fear of the dictator regime in Greece I had to resist against the extreme right who was chasing strangers in the streets of Athens and racist hyper police, with its rotten laws. In Macedonia, I was in prison and I have had problems with thieves police. In Serbia, I have not had much luck and I was brutally tortured in prisons in the north you south. In Romania, I discovered that racism n has not been eradicated and I found myself in a refugee camp with the terrorists who attacked me. Now I'm moving in different countries of the Western Europe but still undocumented. 5) What is your current situation? Have you managed to rebuild your life? I managed to partially adjust my status but the biggest remains. 6) Your friend Jabeur Majeri languishing in a cell in Tunisia. Can you tell us about the situation and the conditions of his detention? Jabeur is imprisoned in the Mahdia. His situation is very delicate. Indeed, he is tortured by prison guards and other prisoners who accuse him of being an unbeliever. The conditions of his detention are terrible: he caught scabies and can no longer walk. In addition, he is forced to do the prayers in the prison infirmary. 7) Have you found support of Tunisian civil society? How civil society could it help you and how it could act to save Jabeur? I found the support of the Tunisian civil society in France. However, I was ignored by the Tunisian League of Human Rights. Tunisians-the-Tunisian people condemned me. I was vilified and I got several smear campaigns and threats on social networks. 
How do you see the situation in Tunisia now? Do you believe that the freedoms and human rights are in danger right now? I think this phase is an essential and crucial phase in the history of our country. Tunisians must pass through this phase to understand the meaning of democracy, citizenship, the separation between the state and I religion.Mais remain convinced that we will get out either through a civil war or another. 9) have announced the publication of a book. Can you talk about that? I have not yet published my new book, but it will be soon. I will tell all my journey from Tunisia to France I arrived, with a critical eye towards Europe and what they call human Rights which are lies and illusions. 10) I'll leave the last word. In the end I want to say to the people of Tunisia that the fault is not that of Ennahda. I think the majority of Tunisians are hard religious who are struggling to accept difference and digest democracy. The majority is made up of people who are against freedom of expression, and the difference against the gender. I also want to remind the people who shouted loudly thirst for freedom and dignity is the same who voted for the Islamists and fired from my job three times when I was still in Tunisia and my censored before, but I have no hatred towards my countrymen because they will always be my people, my people … * Excerpt from the press kit of the support committee Ghazi Beji and Jabeur Al Majeri. At a conference organized around the theme “Tunisia: the dangers threatening the freedom of expression after the revolution,” the Tunisian section of Amnesty announced its full support to Al Jabeur Majeri and Ghazi Beji. A campaign to collect signatures has already been launched and you can follow the latest developments on Twitter via the hashtag # FreeJabeur.http://www.twitpic.com/cl2ico
