Tunisian bl0gger finally released from
prison after hunger strikes, alleged
torture
11/18/2003 03:14 PM35-year-old Tunisian
blogger
Zouhair Yahyaoui, imprisoned since June 2002 for criticizing the
Tunisian government on his weblog, was released on parole this
morning. An overjoyed Sophie Elwarda -- his fiance, who campaigned
tirelessly for his release -- tells BoingBoing:
"Zouhair returned to
his family's home shortly after his release. This morning even, he was
still unaware of this decision and thus has just stopped the hunger
strike he started on November 2nd. He is very weak and suffers from
his dental abscess due to poor medical care in prison, but seemed to
be in a good mental state when he talked to us on the phone and thanks
all those who have been supporting his case during all these months.
He does not forget the people he left behin him and said to one of his
friends: "Two years are nothing compared to the long sentence of some
of my fellow prisoners ". I can only express a very great happiness
to know he is free, at his place finally, after this year and half of
battle.
I thus dedicate my joy to all those who, by their thought, their
messages of support (to which I sometimes forgot to answer), their
presence, their combativity, their perseverance, allowed this day to
come and that I write, finally, the press release I've always dreamed
of ! I also dedicate it to all NGOs which supported Zouhair (by
regard for those that I might forget, I do not make the list), to all
the journalists who have been the echo of our voice, to his courageous
family and to all those forming what Zouhair calls "his XXL family".
And if I had only one hope to express, it would be this one: May this
press release be REALLY the last !"

Updating websites from prison by paper

Updating websites from prison by paper
mail
04/17/2005 04:04 AMCory Doctorow:
Prison inmates are using posting to websites through intermediaries
who accept new material by postal mail. I've gotten the occasional
letter in response to my columns from prison inmates -- some flames,
some kudos -- and they're the only proper hand-written letters I've
received in years. Universally, they tend to run long -- I assume
that's an artifact of having a lot of time on one's hands.
Using their telephone and mail privileges, plus a network of family,
friends or activists, inmates are contributing to websites to plead
their case, pillory prosecutors or find pen pals...
In 2000, inmates successfully fought an Arizona law that prohibited
helping inmates to access the Internet and punished those who
transmitted items to someone for posting on the web. The law was
passed after a murder victim's family complained about the killer's
Internet pen pal ad. A federal district judge struck down the law in
2003.
The
American Civil Liberties Union pursued that case on behalf of the
Canadian Coalition Against the Death Penalty. The group publishes
websites for about 500 U.S. death row inmates, and pen pal
solicitations for about 700 more, said co-founder Tracy Lamourie.

Nevada E-Voting With Paper Backup
Primary Gets Good Results
Nevada E-Voting With Paper Backup
Primary Gets Good Results
09/08/2004 12:32 PMBack in May we noted that election officials who didn't want to use
e-voting machines with a paper trail were
hoping
Nevada's use of the machines would fail. Nevada was the first
state to require that e-voting machines have a paper trail, and
yesterday the primary in Nevada used those machines and
very few problems were reported.
There were, as always, some technical problems here or there, but
unlike the other e-voting machines, at least people could check to see
if their vote was actually recorded. Looks like those election
officials hoping the Nevada experiment would fail should start
shopping for new e-voting machines. If they're in California, they
might want to
avoid
Diebold, which doesn't have the greatest reputation in the state
these days.

05/01/2004 02:13 AM"If we can't hold ourselves up as an example of how to treat people
with dignity and respect, we can't ask that other nations do that to
our soldiers", says Brigadier General Mark Kimmett, deputy director of
operations for the US military in Iraq of damning evidence of the use
of torture in a US-run Iraqi prison. This sort of action is
unacceptable on a human rights level, puts US forces at risk of
revenge attacks and could jeopardise the strength of the coalition. It
is important that we understand how such appalling human rights abuses
have been allowed to take place.
