• eBay e la vendita dei sogni grazie ad Amnesty International

  2007-12-10 14:20:00

  Su eBay ormai si può comprare di tutto... persino i sogni. Grazie ad Amnesty International infatti, fino al 12 Dicembre è possibile comprare su eBay tutte queste cose per una giusta causa: iniziativa benefica contro la violenza sulle donne nel mondo (via Punto Informatico).Ci vogliono poco più di mille euro per il leggio di Vasco Rossi al Tour 2007. Per un pomeriggio con Elena Santerelli e Alessandro Cattelan ne bastano 400. Mille e cinquecento per un quadro di Dario Fo. Un abito di moda della bella Cristiana Capotondi costa 560 euro. Un po' più care le due ore insieme a Linus e Nicola di Radio Deejay, 2200 euro. Mentre per trascorrere una mezzoretta in compagnia di un capiroska alla fragola ed Eros Ramazzotti si deve quasi aprire un mutuo: 9350 euro (capiroska a parte).Se sui personaggi internazionali gli italiani si dimostrano piuttosto generosi, per una certa parte dei pezzi in vendita si rischia quasi di fare affari, in barba all'intento benefico.

• Iran: Amnesty International appeals against planned executions by stoning

  2007-06-20 14:51:00

  Two more to get stoned in Iran - hopefully people will be able to stop it. The question is, how many stonings are there that go unreported and un-protested by the likes of Amnesty...According to activists involved in the ‘Stop Stoning Forever’ campaign in Iran, (which can be viewed in Persian at http://www.meydaan.com/news.aspx?nid=391) Mokarrameh Ebrahimi and the unnamed man were sentenced to death after conviction of adultery. Under article 83 of Iran’s Penal Code, execution by stoning is prescribed for adultery committed by a married man or a married woman. Under Iranian law, adultery can only be proved by the testimony of eyewitnesses (the number required varying for different types of adultery), a confession by the defendant (repeated four times), or the judge's "knowledge" that the adultery has taken place. In this case, the basis for the conviction of adultery was the judge’s “knowledge”, apparently on the basis that they had a child together.Mokarrameh Ebrahimi and
