Radio
Radicale. On Tuesday 21st May the amendments to
the bill“DDL Crescita” requesting to extend the
duration of the agreement by six months were
declared inadmissible. Unanimity was needed to
proceed, but the 5 Star Movement remained opposed,
while all the other groups agreed. Roberto
Giachetti, PD deputy, suspended the thirst strike
for the life of Radio Radicale after 5 days and he
is continuing the nonviolent initiative with the
hunger strike. Maurizio Bolognetti, who had
suspended the hunger strike after 78 days on May
16, resumed the non-violent initiative on May 24,
alternating a day of fasting and a day of hunger
strike. Roberto Deriu, councilor of the Sardinia
Region, concluded his strike that began at
midnight on Saturday 18 May after three days.
About
200 citizens are participating in the non-violent
initiative with a few days of hunger strike for
the life of Radio Radicale.
Here the form to join
the hunger strike and the complete
list. | | |

The
Council of Europe has published the annual report SPACE
II survey. The survey shows the number of
persons in Europe subject to community sanctions
and measures (CSM) — usually known as alternatives
to imprisonment - under the supervision of
probation agencies is increasing. On 31 January
2018 there were 1,810,357 people in Europe under
the supervision of the 41 probation agencies
participating in the survey, which represents an
overall probation population rate of 169
probationers per 100,000 inhabitants. Comparing
the 34 probation agencies that provided this data
both for 2016 and 2018, the probation population
increased from 1,540,578 to
1,723,652.

Human
Rights Watch has published the
report “China’s Algorithms of
RepressionReverse Engineering a Xinjiang Police
Mass Surveillance App” which «provides a detailed
description and analysis of a mobile app that
police and other officials use to communicate with
the Integrated Joint Operations Platform (IJOP),
one of the main systems Chinese authorities use
for mass surveillance in Xinjiang». Analysis of
the IJOP app reveals that authorities are
collecting massive amounts of personal information
and shows Xinjiang authorities consider many forms
of lawful, everyday, non-violent behavior—such as
“not socializing with neighbors, often avoiding
using the front door”—as
suspicious.

The
worst humanitarian crisis in the world is underway
in Yemen, currently around 12 million people -
almost 40% of the population - are on the verge of
starvation. David Beasley, head of the World Food
Program (WFP), said the agency's efforts to reach
people in need were repeatedly blocked. The World
Food Program has reported that without full access
and "freedom to decide” who gets this vital
assistence in Houthi controlled areas, it could be
forced to take the hard decision of implementing a
phased suspension of its operations.
«Humanitarian
workers in Yemen are being denied access to the
hungry, aid convoys have been blocked, and local
authorities have
interfered with food
distribution, and – most importantly, there have
been repeated obstacles placed in the way of our
independent selection of beneficiaries and a
request for a roll out of a biometric registration
system.
