Zambia: Porn Video Sparks Debate on Gender, Culture and Morality · Global Voices	Zambia: Pornovideo fyrer op under debat om køn, kultur og moral
Recently a video clip of a young female student at one of Zambia’s expensive colleges, the Zambia Centre for Accountancy College (ZCAS), having sex with her boyfriend surfaced on a hardcore pornography website (link and site name withheld) and went viral among Zambian netizens who liberally shared the link. Zambia is a culturally conservative and Christian nation in which such a video clip is considered immoral and also illegal under the Penal Code Act Chapter 87 of the Laws of Zambia, which makes it an offense to make and distribute obscene materials.	For nylig dukkede et videoklip af en ung kvindelig studerende fra et af Zambias dyre universiteter, Zambia Centre for Accountancy Studies (ZCAS), op på en hardcore pornohjemmeside (navn og link her udeladt).
Consider concurrent sexual partnerships and what happens when some married men are discovered by their wives. A married man is discovered to be cheating by the wife, she goes after the woman he is cheating with, roughs her up, calls her all those colourful names and leaves her with a stern warning of what she will do to her if she dares go near her husband again.	I videoen har hun sex med sin kæreste, og klippet har bredt sig som en virus blandt de zambiske netbrugere, der frit har delt linket med hinanden.
On Twitter, one tweep, @tatendaprobert, wonders where the women’s groups are as the girl continues being attacked for her role in the video: @lwangamwilu I surely think it is unfair for society to treat her like that where are women groups: WfC(Women for Change, an outspoken gender advocate NGO)?	Zambia er en kulturelt konservativ og kristen nation, der anser sådan en type videoklip for at være amoralsk, men også ulovlig ifølge straffelovens kapitel 87 under zambisk lov, der betragter fremstilling og distribution af pornografisk materiale som en lovovertrædelse.
Another tweep, @missbwalya, denounced the hypocrisy of women who berate a man’s girlfriend when he is caught cheating:	De, der ikke overholder loven, risikerer fem års fængsel, hvis de kendes skyldige.

This post is part of our special coverage Forest Focus: Amazon. On November 11, 2011, it was announced that the Amazon rainforest had been declared provisionally as one of the world's seven new wonders of nature by the New 7 Wonders foundation.	Den 11. november 2011 stod det klart, at regnskoven i Amazonas foreløbigt står til at blive udnævnt som én af verdens nye syv naturskatte af foreningen New 7 Wonders.
Citizens of the Peruvian region of Loreto, especially those from Iquitos, celebrated the announcement.	Indbyggere fra den peruanske Loreto-region, og især dem fra den regionale hovedstad Iquitos, fejrede denne erklæring.

Ethiopia: Homosexuality Debate as Capital Hosts AIDS Conference · Global Voices	Etiopien: Debat om homoseksualitet op til AIDS-konference i Addis Ababa (Alle links er på engelsk, med mindre andet er angivet)
An upcoming conference on AIDS and sexually transmitted infections in Africa has sparked controversy after religious leaders and government officials in Ethiopia held a meeting on Tuesday 29 November, 2011, over whether or not to ban gay rights activists gathering on the fringes of the international meeting.	En forestående konference om AIDS og kønssygdomme i Afrika har skabt polemik, efter religiøse ledere og højtstående embedsmænd i Etiopien holdt møde tirsdag d.29. november 2011, om hvorvidt de skulle forbyde aktivister for homoseksuelles rettigheder at samles omkring den internationale konference eller ej.
The meeting came after religious leaders canceled a news conference called to denounce the planned conference of gay rights activists.	Mødet opstod efter religiøse ledere aflyste et pressemøde, der skulle have fordømt aktivisternes planlagte konference.
The 16th International Conference on AIDS and Sexually Transmitted Infections in Africa will be held in the capital Addis Ababa this coming Sunday, where more than 200 activists, experts and UN officials are expected to participate.	Den 16. internationale konference om AIDS og kønssygdomme i Afrika bliver afholdt i hovedstaden Addis Ababa søndag d.4 december, hvor flere end 200 aktivister, eksperter og FN embedsmænd forventes at deltage.
Following the attempt by the religious community to ban the conference, Ethiopian netizens turned to Facebook to discuss homosexuality in their country.	Efter det religiøse samfunds forsøg på at aflyse konferencen, vendte etiopiske netborgere sig til Facebook for at diskutere homoseksualitet i deres land.
Homosexuality in Ethiopia is a crime and is punishable by up to 15 years imprisonment.	Homoseksualitet er ulovligt i Etiopien og kan straffes med op til 15 års fængsel.

According to the 2007 Pew Global Attitudes Project, 97% of Ethiopian residents said that homosexuality should be rejected by society, which was the second-highest percentage rejecting homosexuality among the 44 countries surveyed, exceeded only by Mali with 98%. However, some Ethiopians netizens on Facebook start to have a different perspective on homosexuality.	I følge 2007 Pew Global Attitudes Project mente 97% af etiopierne, at homoseksualitet skulle afvises af samfundet, hvilket var den næsthøjeste procentdel af folk, der afviste homoseksualitet fra en undersøgelse lavet i 44 lande, kun overgået af Mali med 98%.
For the World HIV conference which will be held at millennium hall, the main point of the agenda is "To stop the spread of HIV AIDS and homosexuality as a solution" ... another objective of this meeting is to influence the Ethiopia government to make a supportive law to accept this extremely bad practice which leads to corrupt families and the country.	Alligevel er der etiopiske netborgere, der begynder at have et andet syn på homoseksualitet.
Well respected, rich and educated people in Ethiopia are actively participating in this as if this is the peak of their knowledge and wisdom.	Hallelujah efterlyser en civiliseret, offentlig debat om emnet:
Slovakia: New Draft Law Threatens Internet Freedom · Global Voices	Slovakiet: Nyt lovforslag truer internetfriheden (Alle links er på slovakisk)
The Slovak Ministry of Finance has published a draft law that would allow blocking web servers that provide online gambling without a Slovak license.	Slovakiets finansministerium har fremlagt et lovforslag, der tillader blokering af webservere, der uden en slovakisk bevilling, udbyder onlinespil om penge.
Internet providers would have to block web sites from a list updated twice a month - not by the court, but by the Tax Office.	Internetudbyderne vil være nødsaget til at blokere websites, der optræder på en liste, som opdateres en til to gange om måneden - ikke af domstolen, men af skatteforvaltningen.
Against this idea are, among others, the non-governmental Society for Open Information Technologies (SOIT) and the Slovak IT Association .	Blandt modstanderne af forslaget er, blandt andet, Society for Open Information Technologies (SOIT) og Slovak IT Association.
SOIT warns that this way Facebook should also be blocked completely, because it allows users to play online roulette and poker.	SOIT advarer om, at Facebook således også bør blokeres fuldstændigt, da brugerne her kan spille roulette og poker online.
According to SOIT consumer protection, crime prevention or reduction of tax burden are not sufficient arguments for establishing of Internet censorship: "We believe that the promotion of purely economic interests at the expense of personal freedoms of citizens is particularly dangerous and unconstitutional."	Ifølge SOIT er forbrugerbeskyttelse, forebyggelse af kriminalitet eller et lavere skattetryk ikke gyldige argumenter for at indføre internetcensur: "Vi mener, det er særlig farligt og forfatningsstridigt at fremme rene økonomiske interesser på bekostning af borgernes personlige frihed."
Their online petition has been signed by thousands of citizens.	Tusindvis af borgere har underskrevet deres online underskriftsindsamling.
Later, the Ministry of Finance asked the European Commission for their opinion.	Finansministeren har efterfølgende spurgt om Europa-Kommissionens holdning.

An upcoming conference on AIDS and sexually transmitted infections in Africa has sparked controversy after religious leaders and government officials in Ethiopia held a meeting on Tuesday 29 November, 2011, over whether or not to ban gay rights activists gathering on the fringes of the international meeting.

En forestående konference om AIDS og kønssygdomme i Afrika har skabt polemik, efter religiøse ledere og højtstående embedsmænd i Etiopien holdt møde tirsdag d.29. november 2011, om hvorvidt de skulle forbyde aktivister for homoseksuelles rettigheder at samles omkring den internationale konference eller ej.

The meeting came after religious leaders canceled a news conference called to denounce the planned conference of gay rights activists.

Mødet opstod efter religiøse ledere aflyste et pressemøde, der skulle have fordømt aktivisternes planlagte konference.

The 16th International Conference on AIDS and Sexually Transmitted Infections in Africa will be held in the capital Addis Ababa this coming Sunday, where more than 200 activists, experts and UN officials are expected to participate.

Den 16. internationale konference om AIDS og kønssygdomme i Afrika bliver afholdt i hovedstaden Addis Ababa søndag d.4 december, hvor flere end 200 aktivister, eksperter og FN embedsmænd forventes at deltage.

Following the attempt by the religious community to ban the conference, Ethiopian netizens turned to Facebook to discuss homosexuality in their country.

Efter det religiøse samfunds forsøg på at aflyse konferencen, vendte etiopiske netborgere sig til Facebook for at diskutere homoseksualitet i deres land.

Homosexuality in Ethiopia is a crime and is punishable by up to 15 years imprisonment.

Homoseksualitet er ulovligt i Etiopien og kan straffes med op til 15 års fængsel.

According to the 2007 Pew Global Attitudes Project, 97% of Ethiopian residents said that homosexuality should be rejected by society, which was the second-highest percentage rejecting homosexuality among the 44 countries surveyed, exceeded only by Mali with 98%. However, some Ethiopians netizens on Facebook start to have a different perspective on homosexuality.

I følge 2007 Pew Global Attitudes Project mente 97% af etiopierne, at homoseksualitet skulle afvises af samfundet, hvilket var den næsthøjeste procentdel af folk, der afviste homoseksualitet fra en undersøgelse lavet i 44 lande, kun overgået af Mali med 98%.

For the World HIV conference which will be held at millennium hall, the main point of the agenda is "To stop the spread of HIV AIDS and homosexuality as a solution" ... another objective of this meeting is to influence the Ethiopia government to make a supportive law to accept this extremely bad practice which leads to corrupt families and the country.

Alligevel er der etiopiske netborgere, der begynder at have et andet syn på homoseksualitet.

Well respected, rich and educated people in Ethiopia are actively participating in this as if this is the peak of their knowledge and wisdom.

Hallelujah efterlyser en civiliseret, offentlig debat om emnet:

Slovakia: New Draft Law Threatens Internet Freedom · Global Voices

Slovakiet: Nyt lovforslag truer internetfriheden (Alle links er på slovakisk)

The Slovak Ministry of Finance has published a draft law that would allow blocking web servers that provide online gambling without a Slovak license.

Slovakiets finansministerium har fremlagt et lovforslag, der tillader blokering af webservere, der uden en slovakisk bevilling, udbyder onlinespil om penge.

Internet providers would have to block web sites from a list updated twice a month - not by the court, but by the Tax Office.

Internetudbyderne vil være nødsaget til at blokere websites, der optræder på en liste, som opdateres en til to gange om måneden - ikke af domstolen, men af skatteforvaltningen.

Against this idea are, among others, the non-governmental Society for Open Information Technologies (SOIT) and the Slovak IT Association .

Blandt modstanderne af forslaget er, blandt andet, Society for Open Information Technologies (SOIT) og Slovak IT Association.

SOIT warns that this way Facebook should also be blocked completely, because it allows users to play online roulette and poker.

SOIT advarer om, at Facebook således også bør blokeres fuldstændigt, da brugerne her kan spille roulette og poker online.

According to SOIT consumer protection, crime prevention or reduction of tax burden are not sufficient arguments for establishing of Internet censorship: "We believe that the promotion of purely economic interests at the expense of personal freedoms of citizens is particularly dangerous and unconstitutional."

Ifølge SOIT er forbrugerbeskyttelse, forebyggelse af kriminalitet eller et lavere skattetryk ikke gyldige argumenter for at indføre internetcensur: "Vi mener, det er særlig farligt og forfatningsstridigt at fremme rene økonomiske interesser på bekostning af borgernes personlige frihed."

Their online petition has been signed by thousands of citizens.

Tusindvis af borgere har underskrevet deres online underskriftsindsamling.

Later, the Ministry of Finance asked the European Commission for their opinion.

Finansministeren har efterfølgende spurgt om Europa-Kommissionens holdning.

Below are some comments from a discussion at SME.sk.

Nedenfor ses nogle kommentarer fra en diskussion på SME.sk.

mrf:

this should be ... immediately taken to the Constitutional Court ... because if it starts, we will end up with just the pages of the Ministry of Finance :-(

dette burde ... straks bringes for forfatningsdomstolen ... for hvis det begynder, ender det med, at vi kun har adgang til finansministeriets

Blur(rr)e(d) vision:

This whole idea is sick.

Hele idéen er syg.

What if I earn money and go to Las Vegas and spend it all there? Will the Minister prevent me from doing this?

Vil ministeren også forbyde mig at tage til Las Vegas og bruge alle de penge, jeg har tjent?

yep, me again:

when we start blocking some selected entrepreneurs and companies ... that are based in the EU, then we say that we want to be in the free-trade club only if it is useful to us ... and that is already not free trade.

hvis vi begynder at blokere udvalgte virksomheder ... som er placeret i EU, siger vi samtidig, at vi kun vil være en del af frihandelklubben, hvis det er til vores fordel... og det kan man ikke kalde frihandel.

Marty:

Just as I can order goods from a German e-shop, or let a licensed German architect design my house, I can freely bet through a British online casino.

Lige så vel som jeg kan bestille varer fra en tysk webshop eller få en tysk arkitekt til at designe mit hus, kan jeg også frit spille på et britisk online casino.

Peter Šoltés:

If the Minister was serious in that he wants to increase the intake into the state budget, he would first eliminate Tipos monopoly on online poker and online casino.

Hvis ministeren virkelig var interesseret i at øge indtægterne på statsbudgettet, ville han først fjerne Tipos monopol på online poker og online casino.

kohutisko:

And next they will block Amazon, because a local company has higher prices, and we will search using Zoznam.sk only because Google will be blocked too.

Det næste bliver, at de blokerer Amazon, fordi en lokal virksomhed har højere priser, og vi vil kun kunne søge via Zoznam.sk, fordi Google også bliver blokeret.

Not to mention the fact that Wikipedia will be blocked in all language versions because of our cobweb-filled libraries!

For ikke at tale om Wikipedia, der vil blive blokeret på alle sprog til gavn for vores tomme og støvede biblioteker!

Vilsa:

we will start with gambling and end up like in China ... because the state will not release its claws when it can extend its scope and power.

vi starter med onlinespil og ender som Kina ... fordi staten ikke vil slippe sit greb, når den kan øge sin magt.

risiak:

And speaking of morality, does he think that the same services, just provided by Slovak companies, will be moral?

Nu vi taler om moral, mener han at den samme ydelse, blot udbudt af slovakiske virksomheder, er mere moralsk korrekt?

refuge:

What's interesting is that they never propose to proceed in the opposite direction - somewhere else they have better conditions, so let's change the conditions in our country.

Det interessante er, at de aldrig foreslår at gå i den modsatte retning - et andet sted har de bedre betingelser, så lad os ændre betingelserne i vores land.

corr:

A typical political solution - hardly feasible, its effectiveness is problematic and it probably also violates international treaties ...

En typisk politisk løsning - næppe realitisk, virkningen er tvivlsom, og den er sikkert også i strid med internationale bestemmelser ...

So it seems the problem will stay unsolved ... but it will trigger other, more serious problems.

Så det lader ikke til, problemet vil blive løst ... men det vil udløse andre mere alvorlige problemer.

This approach - "we do not know how to tax it, so we will disable it" - is incredible and shows that the author of this solution has a problem with elementary understanding of how the world behaves in the 21st century.

Metoden - "vi ved ikke hvordan vi skal beskatte det, så vi spærrer det" - er utrolig, og den viser, at ophavsmanden til denne løsning har et grundlæggende problem med at forstå, hvordan verden fungerer i det enogtyvende århundrede..

salam00n:

I would like to hear/read the Minister's opinion on how a person threatens public morality when he is playing PC online gambling game at home?

Jeg vil gerne høre/læse ministerens mening om, hvordan en person, der sidder hjemme og spiller om penge online, er en trussel mod den offentlige moral?

Pomaranc77:

disable something on the Internet? lol :-)))

spærre noget på internettet? lol :-)))

MaRmAR:

Mr. Minister, please concern yourself with the real problems and needs of Slovakia and its people.

Hr. Minister, koncentrer dig venligst om Slovakiets og slovakkernes virkelige problemer og behov.

Leave such nonsense to others who understand that blocking or censoring the internet is virtually impossible (if you do not want to be a second China) and incorrect, if not unconstitutional.

Overlad sådan noget idioti til andre, der forstår, at det stort set er umuligt at blokere eller censurere internettet (hvis vi ikke skal ende som Kina) samt forkert, hvis ikke ligefrem forfatningsstridigt.

nieze:

We all are stupid, incapable of thinking for ourselves, making decisions and acting independently.

Vi er alle dumme, ude af stand til at tænke selvstændigt, tage beslutninger og handle uafhængigt.

Therefore, we need clever, omnipotent, the most beautiful, the best, infallible politicians who will tell us that when we put our hand into the fire it will burn, because we stupid idiots can't figure it out by ourselves.

Derfor har vi brug for intelligente, almægtige, smukke og ufejlbarlige politikere, der kan fortælle os, at vi brænder os, hvis vi stikker hånden ind i ilden, fordi vi, dumme idioter, ikke selv kan regne det ud.

pavuk29:

What nonsense.

Sikket noget vrøvl.

Do they want to draw boundaries on the net?

Ønsker de at begrænse nettet?

El Salvador: Remembering El Mozote Massacre 30 Years Later · Global Voices

El Salvador: Til minde om 'El Mozote'-massakren, 30 år senere

Tim's El Salvador Blog will publish a series of posts on the El Mozote Massacre, which took place 30 years ago on December 11, 1981: "All but one of the civilians taking refuge in the small village of El Mozote, more than 800 men, women, children and babies, were brutally killed by the Salvadoran army."

Tim's El Salvador Blog udgiver en serie indlæg om El Mozote-massakren i El Salvador for 30 år siden, d. 11. december 1981: "Alle undtagen én af de civile, som søgte ly i den lille by El Mozote - flere end 800 mænd, kvinder, børn og spædbørn - blev brutalt myrdet af den salvadorianske hær."

His first post presents basic facts of this "tragedy the world must never forget."

Hans første indlæg gengiver i hovedtræk, hvad der skete under "denne tragedie, som verden aldrig må glemme."

Bahrain: Twitter User Jailed for 66 Days for Tweeting · Global Voices

Bahrain: Fængslet i 66 dage for at twitte (Alle links er på engelsk, med mindre andet er angivet)

This post is part of our special coverage of Bahrain Protests 2011.

Dette indlæg er en del af vores særlige dækning af Protester i Bahrain 2011.

The Arab world has a reputation for arresting and torturing bloggers and netizens and Bahrain is no exception, particularly after its February 14 uprising.

I den arabiske verden har de ry for at anholde og torturere bloggere og internetbrugere. Bahrain er ingen undtagelse, især ikke efter oprøret, som startede den 14. februar.

Just the way Bahraini medics used Twitter to tell the world about the torture and abuse they witnessed at the hands of security personnel in jail, a Twitter user who goes by the pseudonym Nezrad (@nezrad) has been tweeting his jail experience over the past few days to share his story with the rest of the world.

Ligesom bahrainske læger på Twitter har fortalt om den tortur og mishandling, de har set fængslernes sikkerhedspersonale udføre, har en Twitter-bruger, under pseudonymet Nezrad (@nezrad), de sidste par dage delt sine oplevelser fra fængslet med resten af verden på det sociale netværk.
