Help China Wake Up!:
A message from Dagmar
International Olympics in China ...Race for Tibet
Demand Integrity from the IOC and China!
The International Olympic Committee has long contended that awarding Beijing the 2008 Games will improve human rights in China, but as time passes, their assurances have not turned into actions. Tell the IOC that urging China to prioritize human rights is a necessary precondition for a Beijing 2008 Olympics free of controversy. Click below to sign the petition demanding integrity from the IOC and China.

Amnesty calls for jailed bloggers to be freed
Independent [UK]
10/27/06
Amnesty International is launching a campaign on behalf of a whole new category of prisoners of conscience -- internet bloggers and chatroom visitors arrested by repressive governments for expressing unwelcome views or disseminating sensitive information online. In an appeal issued today, the human rights watchdog is urging webmasters around the world to stand up for their imprisoned fellow bloggers -- in countries such as Iran, Tunisia, Vietnam and China -- and denouncing major internet service providers, including Yahoo! and Microsoft, for providing foreign governments with the information they need to purge the web of dissenting voices... [editor's note: Don't forget to put the US on that list -- you've read right here about Bryan DuBois, Elsebeth Baumgartner, Josh Wolf et al ... - TLK]

Tell Starbucks to Give Ethiopian Farmers Their Fair Share
http://act.oxfamamerica.org/campaign/starbucks
Thank you for sending a fax to Starbucks to let them know that you want them to honor their commitments to coffee farmers in Ethiopia. So far, more than 27,000 of you have taken action! Can you take one more simple, but effective action to help coffee farmers in Ethiopia. If so, today we need you to call Starbucks directly. Your quick call will help keep the pressure on. Once you've called, click here and let us know. http://act.oxfamamerica.org/campaign/starbucks_phonecall/ To help you make this simple call, we've developed these easy steps to help make your voice heard.
1. Call Starbucks' Retail Customer Relations line at (800) 235-2883 (between the hours of 8 am - 9 pm weekdays and 9 am - 6 pm weekends). All times are Eastern Standard Time.
2. Press "0" to talk to a customer relations representative. You don't have to wait for the whole menu of options.
3. Be friendly to any representatives on the phone. They are just employees of Starbucks; they don't actually set corporate policy.
4. Here are some talking points for your call but remember to use your own words:
* Hi, my name is [your name] and I'm calling from [your city, state]. I am a Starbucks customer.
* I am calling to ask Starbucks to sign the licensing agreement with the Ethiopian government to recognize Ethiopia's rightful ownership of its coffee names.
* This issue is very important to me. Thank you for listening to my concerns.
The Starbucks representative you speak with may respond with the official Starbucks position. Simply respond by reiterating that Starbucks should sign the licensing agreement with the Ethiopian government to recognize Ethiopia's rightful ownership of its coffee names.
We are making great strides to help coffee farmers in Ethiopia. Your voice will make a difference!
Please click here to tell us what they said.

Rangliste der Pressefreiheit 2006
Zum fünften Mal hat Reporter ohne Grenzen am 23.10. 2006 die Rangliste zur weltweiten Situation der Pressefreiheit veröffentlicht. Dafür hat ROG die Situation in 166 Ländern zwischen September 2005 und August 2006 ausgewertet (die USA und Israel wurden zweimal gelistet: für das Land selber und das Vorgehen im Irak bzw. in den Palästinensischen Gebieten). Die Menschenrechtsorganisation hat sich mit 50 Fragen in den jeweiligen Ländern an ihre Partner (14 Organisationen, die sich weltweit für Pressefreiheit einsetzen) ihr Korrespondenten-Netzwerk und an Journalisten, Rechercheure, Juristen und Menschenrechtler gewandt. Berücksichtigt wurde der Zeitraum von September 2005 bis Ende August 2006.
