The Turkish parliament has passed a controversial law controlling social media that human rights groups say poses a serious threat to freedom of expression.


The law requires foreign social networks with more than one million users inside Turkey to have a local office and representative office in the country and to comply with content removal requests.


Companies face fines for violating the new law, and their data exchange speeds may be severely limited.


Facebook and Twitter have not yet responded to the new rule.


Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan has called social media "immoral" and has publicly called for tight control.

The draft law was presented to parliament by the ruling Justice and Development Party and its ally, the National Movement Party. The two parties hold a majority in the Turkish parliament, and their plan was approved on Wednesday (July 29th).


Under the new law, social networks may face a 95% reduction in bandwidth, which effectively means stopping the use of these networks.


The Internet is a vital tool for dissidents and critics of the government in Turkey, who say the new law will lead to more censorship by the government.


The hashtag "Say no to censorship" has been trending in Turkey since the day it was passed.


Amnesty International described the passage of the law as "the latest and perhaps most obvious attack on freedom of expression in Turkey".


"Internet law significantly increases government access to police force for censorship of virtual content and poses a greater threat to those who have previously only expressed dissent," said Andrew Garner, a Turkish affairs researcher at the human rights group. "They have been brutally targeted."


A spokesman for the Turkish presidency has denied using the law for censorship, saying it is aimed at shaping legal and commercial relationships with social media.

Baneh: Sentence of imprisonment and flogging for 10 civil activists protesting the killing of Kulbers

KMMK:

The Revolutionary Court of the Government of the Islamic Republic of Iran sentenced 10 civil society activists in Baneh who had protested against the killing of Colbran and participated in a protest rally to prison, fines and flogging.

According to the report: "Mohsen Ghaderi, Sardar Aminpour, Yasin Osmani, Barzan Rahimi, Azad Mahmoudzadeh, Shahram Salehi, Akam Ahmadi, Ezat Ahmadi, Mehdi Arkhani and Ribvar Salehi" were among the civil activists in Baneh by the Revolutionary Court of the Government of Iran in Baneh. They were sentenced to 25 lashes, a fine of 25 million Tomans and 3 months in prison.

It should be noted that: The conviction of this number of civil activists in Baneh is to participate in a protest rally of the people of Baneh against the killing of Kulbers in 2017, which was held at that time for the killing of 2 Kulbers in this city.

The activists were arrested on the same day as the protest rally and later released, but apparently their case has been kept open by the Islamic Republic's judiciary, which in the past few days has received a total of 250 lashes, 30 months in prison and a 250 million toman fine. Has issued a verdict against them.

It should be noted that: Hundreds of Kurdish cobblers are killed annually on the eastern borders with Junb and northern Kurdistan by the border forces of the Islamic Republic of Iran and Turkey and by direct firing of these forces for the livelihood of their families.


Statement by the French unions on the killing of kolbar by the armed forces of the Iranian government

KMMK:


The Kurdistan Human Rights Association is satisfied with this statement, which has been claimed by this population for many years, although the depth of the tragedy is much greater and the casualties, financial and consequences are much wider, and we publish the text of the statement as ourselves.

Statement by French unions on #Killing_Kolbran by the armed forces of the Iranian regime Stop the killing of Colbran in Iran. Between 8 and 10 million Kurds living in the Kurdish regions of Iran are subjected to discriminatory and repressive policies by the Iranian regime.

The Iranian regime severely suppresses any political protests and demands for Kurdish autonomy-identity. To keep the people of this region in a state of instability and misery, the regime has hindered the economic development of the region, almost no industry has been launched in this region, and the orientation of products and resources is mainly for the central regions of the country. Unemployment is very high. Due to the lack of employment opportunities in the region, young people are widely forced to migrate to large Persian-speaking cities.

For thousands of residents of Rojehlat (Iranian Kurdistan), the Iraqi-Iranian border is the only source of livelihood. Kulberi means cross-border exchanges of goods, transporting goods on human carts or on mules by crossing mountains, transferring all kinds of goods from Iraq and Turkey to Iran, with many risks. From diapers to home appliances, including clothing, blankets, car tires, tea, satellite dishes, alcohol, cigarettes. These goods are offered in the markets of big cities such as Tehran. Every day, thousands of male and female workers, including children and the elderly, take risks and risk their lives along these borders in order to make a living and make ends meet for themselves and their families.

If a Kulber dies or is injured, his family will have no source of income. Legally, Kulbery's situation is ambiguous, sometimes legal, sometimes legal and sometimes illegal, and subject to the goodwill of the authorities.

In addition to the dangers posed by impassable mountains and an area full of unexploded ordnance, border guards fire at them and increase the number of retaliation each year. During 2019 alone, the number of casualties was 79 and the number of injured reached 165. It is rare for border guards to be tried for these killings. They do not even hesitate to kill mules.

Many Kolbranes are also sentenced to prison or heavy fines. The fate of the Kulbers is the result of several factors: influenced by the nation-state and the central government's integrationist policies toward the Kurds and the destructive effects of US sanctions on Iran, which have only exacerbated the plight of the masses under pressure from the regime.

We are French trade unions. اس. He and Solidar draw the attention of working men and women and the international community to the humanitarian and social catastrophe of Kolburn. We call on the Iranian government to stop suppressing the Kolbrans and, above all, killing them at the borders. The government must recognize them as legal workers in order to enjoy their rights and security. Paris 21 July 2020 United Federation of Trade Unions (FSO-Cultural) Union of Solidarity (Solidarity).

Saber Sheikh Abdullah and Diako Rasoulzadeh were executed


Tuesday, July 15, 2020 Two political prisoners, Saber Sheikh Abdullah and Diako Rasoulzadeh, were executed in the Iranian government prison in the city of Urmia on charges of political activity.
According to local reports, Saber Sheikh Abdullah and Diako Rasoulzadeh, who were transferred to quarantine from Ward 1 and 2 of the government prison in Urmia on Monday, were executed in security conditions in the prison of the Islamic Republic of Iran in Urmia.
Since yesterday, the families of both prisoners have gathered in front of the Central Prison of the Islamic Republic of Iran in Urmia (located on Darya Road) and demanded that their children visit.
The two young prisoners were sentenced to death in September 2010 after collaborating with Komala in Mahabad on charges of collaborating with Komala after a highly unfair judicial process.

The Islamic Republic of Iran had accused them of involvement in a bombing operation, a charge strongly denied by the two political prisoners.
The two political prisoners were subjected to the worst treatment and torture during their detention and interrogation, and the Iranian government forced them to confess through torture and violence. The accusations against the two citizens of East Kurdistan were untrue and the accusations had no evidence or documentation.

An analyst critical of Iran's policies has been killed in Baghdad



On Monday night, July 6, two motorcyclists, Hisham Hashemi, a critical Iranian analyst, were shot dead in Baghdad.
Several critics and opponents of Iran's policies in Iraq have already been killed.
Last year, Rohullah Zam, an Iranian journalist, was arrested during a trip to Iraq and returned to Iran, where he was sentenced to death in Iran.


After 2003 and the fall of Saddam Hussein's regime, Iran's political, military and security influence in Iraq increased.
In 2011 and after the withdrawal of a large number of US troops from Iraq, Iran's influence and authority in Iraq increased.
The war with ISIS provided another opportunity for Iran to increase its hegemony in Iraq, especially through financial and military support from militant groups.
According to a recent Reuters report, Iran donates $ 2-3 million a month to these groups.
These groups, which are directly commanded by Iran, have repeatedly attacked US coalition forces and US bases and embassies.
Iranian-backed forces also played a role in suppressing last year's protests in Iraq.
During the protests, which were attended by many protesters who opposed Iran's presence and influence, Iran's allied forces killed several Iranian activists.
Mr. Hisham al-Hashimi was a supporter of the demonstrators and a staunch opponent of Iran's allied groups.
Hashemi has said several times that he has been threatened by groups under Iranian command.
