MFA Spokesman on Gaza Flotilla - 24 May 2010
Israel Ministry of Foreign Affairs Spokesman Yigal Palmor on the Gaza Flotilla - 24 May 2010: Ships forcing their way into Gaza will do nothing to aid the people there. Existing land crossings are more than capable of meeting their needs. International aid organizations and the private sector of Gaza ensure that all the necessary food, medicine and clothing are provided to the Strip via Israel. In a typical week, 15,000 tons of supplies enter Gaza. Truckloads of meat, poultry, fish, dairy products, fruits, vegetables, milk powder, baby food, wheat and other staples arrive in Gaza on a daily basis. Building materials are also shipped in, when monitored by International organization so as not to be commandeered by Hamas for the fortification of bunkers. Since the ceasefire in January 2009, well over a million tons of humanitarian supplies entered Gaza from Israel that is almost a ton of aid for each man, woman and child in the Strip. The land crossings remain the most efficient system to transfer goods to Gaza, and the flotilla organizers are well aware of this fact. The organizers also know that since December 2008, their ships have been denied permission to land. Israel has invited the organizers of the flotilla to use the land crossings, in the same manner as all the reputable international organizations. However, they are less interested in bringing in aid than in promoting their radical agenda, playing into the hands of Hamas provocations. While they have wrapped themselves in a humanitarian cloak, they are engaging in political propaganda and not in pro-Palestinian aid. If the organizers were truly interesting in providing humanitarian aid - as opposed to engaging in publicity stunts - they would use the proper channels to ensure delivery of any supplies.- published: 08 Dec 2013

Ministry of Foreign Affairs Files Lawsuit Against Authority
Ministry of Foreign Affairs Files Lawsuit Against Authority
Follow us on TWITTER: http://twitter.com/cnforbiddennews Like us on FACEBOOK: http://www.facebook.com/chinaforbiddennews Previously, an Internet post stated, "Chen Youbang, staff member of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Beijing, has been missing." The Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs has denied such an employee existed. Recently, New Tang Dynasty TV received a complaint against the authority by Chen Youbang. He indicated that had been kidnapped, illegally detained, and sentenced. He has requested his lawyer to file a lawsuit against the police, judge and prosecutors for kidnapping and persecution. He also appealed against the three year sentence he received. The following is our report. Chen Youbang, a third level secretary of the Archives Department of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs has been missing for nearly half a year. He was kidnapped on November 10 last year by the Beijing Municipal Public Security Bureau. He is now illegally detained in the Chaoyang District Detention Center. He has been wrongfully sentenced to three years imprisonment. His lawyer, Cheng Hai, indicated that Chen Youbang has filed a complaint and sued a total of 42 people involved in this illegal detention and sentence, including the Beijing Public Security Bureau, Chaoyang District Prosecutor's Office, and the Chaoyang District Court. This action is for what he has called a "crime of favoritism". Being Chen Youbang's defense attorney, Cheng Hai explained that Chen Youbang was being kidnapped and imprisoned for distributing materials of Falun Gong. Cheng Hai said that Chinese law has never stated that belief in Falun Gong, or distributing Falun Gong materials is illegal. The defense attorney Cheng Hai: "Even if he indeed was Distributing a Falun Gong booklet, it does not constitute a crime. In the provisions of Article III of the Criminal Code, the law must have been expressly broken for one to be held criminally responsible. None of our laws or policies or even judicial interpretation has clearly defined Falun Gong as a cult. In the Ministry of Public Security and the State Department list, Falun Gong has never been clearly defined as a cult. Falun Gong propaganda materials distribution has never been clearly ruled illegal." In the indictment, Chen Youbang wrote: According to the laws of China, I am not guilty. But I was held criminally responsible by more than several dozen people from Beijing authority of inspection and law enforcement. They have violated the laws for their personal interests and seriously compromised my freedom. I ask the authorities to abide by their official duties to protect my legitimate rights and interests, maintain the dignity of the law, and to prosecute the 42 people involved in this crime and hold them responsible. They are Xu Yong and Ye Youzhong from the Beijing Municipal Public Security Bureau, Zhang Xin of Chaoyang District People's Procuratorate, Li Xiao from Chaoyang District Court and jurors Li Xin and others. Cheng Hai: "Our law has regulated that judicial staff who hold someone criminally responsible knowing that the person is not guilty will be guilty of a criminal offence. I believe those police officers who handled the case knew that Chen Youbang was innocent, but they nevertheless held him criminally responsible. They are the ones who committed a crime intentionally." Cheng Hai told NTD TV, Chen Youbang was admitted to the Police Hospital due to high blood pressure. But the police had tied up his hands and feet for more than a month. In the first instance, the court did not notify the attorney of the court time. Cheng Hai also pointed out that in each hearing involving Falun Gong cases there are serious violations in the trial. In order to prevent attorneys from safeguarding the legitimate rights and interests of Falun Gong practitioners, the authorities in inspection and law have themselves violated attorneys' legitimate rights and interests. On April 12, Zhongshan District court of Dalian already had a trial of thirteen Falun Gong practitioners. Four Beijing lawyers, Liang Xiaojun, Wang Quanzhang, Cheng Hai and Guo Hayue, all went to Dalian Intermediate People's Court on behalf of some of Falun Gong practitioners. That day, roadblocks were set up around the court. The road was packed with police cars, fire engines, buses, police and plainclothes officers. Many women or white-haired old ladies were dragged onto the bus by the police. The attorneys also met with illegal interrogation and beating by the police, and even illegal detention for two hours. Attorney Cheng Hai was injured in that incident. Cheng Hai: "Along with another attorney, I was carried onto a bus. They tried to grab my cell phone, and I refused to let go of it. They beat me for about 20 《神韵》2013世界巡演新亮点 http://www.ShenYunPerformingArts.org/- published: 08 Dec 2013

Snøhetta: Memories of architectural landscapes
The Alexandria Library, the Opera in Oslo and the Memorial Pavilion at Ground Zero in New York - even if you don't know the name Snøhetta, you’ll know it's buildings. Meet one of the heads behind - Norwegian architect Kjetil T. Thorsen.
Snøhetta is named after a famous mountain in Norway. From the very beginning in the 1980's, Snøhetta's architecture has been inspired by landscapes, both natural and urban. ”Landscapes are a massive force”, says Kjetil Trædal Thorsen, co-founder and director of Snøhetta: "And they are masterpieces, which architects can be inspired by."
Divided into five chapters based around subjects such as philosophy, working within different cultures as well as architectural responsibilities, the film is a 30 minute tour through the inner and outer landscapes of Snøhetta. Moreover, Thorsen reflects upon some of Snøhetta's major landmarks such as the Alexandria Library, the opera house in Oslo and The 9/11 Memorial Pavilion on Ground Zero in New York.
For Snøhetta there is a strong relationship between architecture and the surrounding society. Thorsen himself is convinced that architecture and landscapes affect human behaviour. Snøhetta's philosophy is deeply rooted in the values of the Nordic welfare state such as transparency, social sustainability, equality, availability and humanism. Through architecture these values can be exported into different societies, thus building bridges between cultures. As an example Thorsen mentions the King Abdulaziz Center for World Culture in Saudia Arabia, where Snøhetta has avoided separate entrances for men and women.
Finally, Thorsen gives us an insight into the architectural process and the necessity of compromises. Especially with buildings like the 9/11-Memorial at Ground Zero in New York, the interests of different stakeholders have to be respected - not the least the victims and their families. "The effect of the compromise sometimes is a new beginning”, Thorsen states. In the end though, every project has to be within the borders of integrity. "There are things that you just don't trade!"
