als 'Abd al Rahim al Nashiri im Oktober 2002 von örtlichen Sicherheitsbehörden in Dubai verhaftet wurde, hatte er vermutlich keine Ahnung, welche Odyssee ihn erwarten würde. Kurz nach seiner Festnahme wurde er an den US-Geheimdienst CIA übergeben.
Er wurde in Geheimgefängnisse verschleppt, misshandelt, gefoltert und mit einer Schusswaffe bedroht. Nach vier Jahren, im September 2006, wurde er nach Guantánamo gebracht. Dort wartet er seither auf eine Verhandlung vor einer Militärkommission, bei der er möglicherweise zum Tode verurteilt werden wird.
Einen Haftrichter hat er nie gesehen.
'Abd al Rahim al Nashiri ist einer von 171 Menschen, die derzeit in Guantánamo einsitzen. Das berüchtigte Gefangenenlager für mutmaßliche Terroristen auf dem US-Marinestützpunkt auf Kuba, besteht am 11. Januar 2012 seit nunmehr zehn Jahren. Insgesamt waren dort knapp 800 Männer inhaftiert – die meisten von ihnen ohne Anklage oder Gerichtsverfahren. Einige davon waren sogar noch Kinder, als sie interniert wurden. So wie Omar Khadr, der bei seiner Verhaftung in Afghanistan gerade einmal 15 Jahre alt war. Kurz nach seinem 16. Geburtstag brachte man ihn nach Guantánamo, wo er sich bis heute befindet.
Gemeinsam können wir etwas bewegen: Helfen Sie uns dabei, Guantánamo zu schließen. Unterzeichnen Sie die weltweite Petition an US-Präsident Obama: http://www.amnesty.de/guantanamo . Zwar hat US-Präsident Obama unmittelbar nach seinem Amtsantritt Folter und Misshandlungen wie das sogenannte „Waterboarding“ untersagt. Jedoch hat er darin versagt, die für diese Menschenrechtsverletzungen Verantwortlichen strafrechtlich zur Verantwortung zu ziehen. Auch sind seinem Versprechen, Guantánamo innerhalb eines Jahres nach seinem Amtsantritt zu schließen, keine Taten gefolgt.
Im Gegenteil: Am 31. Dezember 2011 hat er mit dem Gesetzespaket über den Verteidigungshaushalt 2012 auch ein Gesetz unterzeichnet, das es den USA unter anderem gestattet, Terror-Verdächtige auf unbestimmte Zeit einzusperren.
Das will Amnesty International verhindern! Weltweit wollen wir 100.000 Unterschriften sammeln und diese am 23. Januar 2012 an Barack Obama persönlich übergeben, um klarzumachen, dass das Gefängnis, das weltweit für die schrecklichen Menschenrechtsverletzungen im „Krieg gegen den Terror“ bekannt wurde, geschlossen werden muss.
Unterstützen Sie uns dabei und unterschreiben Sie die Online-Petition zur Schließung von Guantánamo auf www.amnesty.de/guantanamo!
Wenn die USA echte Beweise gegen Gefangene haben, die einem strafrechtlichen Verfahren vor einem ordentlichen Gericht standhalten, sollten sie in einem fairen Verfahren angeklagt werden. Anderenfalls müssen sie gemäß rechtsstaatlichen Standards freigelassen werden. 'Abd al Rahim al Nashiri und Omar Khadr müssen seit vielen Jahren für die ihnen vorgeworfenen Verbrechen büßen. Für die Menschenrechtsverletzungen an ihnen musste sich bisher noch niemand verantworten.
10 Jahre Guantánamo bedeutet 10 Jahre Ungerechtigkeit. Helfen Sie mit, dem ein Ende zu setzen!
Vielen Dank für Ihren Einsatz!
Mit freundlichen Grüßen,
Ihr Kampagnen-Team bei Amnesty International in Deutschland

Re - RUSSIA - Continued arbitrary detention and judicial harassment against Mr Philip Kostenko
Urgent Appeal to President Dmitri Medvedev, Ilinka Street 23, 103132 Moscow
Your Excellency, dear Ambassadoress,
I have been informed by reliable sources about the continued arbitrary detention and judicial harassment against Mr Philip Kostenko, a member of the Anti-Discrimination Centre (ADC) Memorial, Saint Petersburg, who was due to be released tomorrow, 5 January 2012 following his sentencing to 15 days of administrative detention.
According to the information received, on 4 January 2012 at 11.30 am, the Vasileostrovsky District Court is going to decide on “new measures of restraint” against Mr Kostenko in relation to new criminal proceedings started against him on “vandalism charges” under Article 214,2 of Criminal Code of Russia for allegedly damaging an All-Russia People's Front poster during the parliamentary electoral campaign in autumn 2011 in St. Petersburg. The court may order his detention pending trial. In this case, he will be transferred from the administrative detention centre where he is now detained to a criminal pre-trial detention centre. This is reportedly the third set of charges brought against Mr Philip Kostenko since his arrest on 6 December 2011.
On 6 December 2011, Mr Philip Kostenko was arrested in Saint Petersburg on accusation of "disobeying the orders of the police officers" and of "refusal to put an end to his participation in the rally" following his participation in a peaceful demonstration to denounce electoral irregularities and called for fair, free and independent electoral processes following the elections results on 4 December 2011. - On 7 December, he was sentenced to the maximum sentence of 15 days of administrative detention. On 10 December, the appeal lodged by his lawyer was rejected. On 12 December, his lawyer lodged a complaint before the European Court of Human Rights (ECHR), as both decisions, that of 7 December and of 10 December, were issued following serious procedural irregularities.
Presently, Mr Kostenko is still detained in the “special detention centre No. 6 of Zakharievskaya Street”, where he started a hunger strike on 6 December, then joined by another detainee, in order to protest against the arbitrary detention of demonstrators and bad conditions of detention. - On 22 December, the 153rd court department sentenced Mr Kostenko to an additional 15 days of detention for "disorderly conduct" under Article 20.1.1 of the Criminal Code after he allegedly swore before police officers on 16 October 2011. This decision was handed out only a few minutes before Mr Kostenko's expected release. After the new court decision Mr Kostenko ceased his hunger strike as all people arrested during the protests against electoral fraud in St Petersburg had then been released.
It is reported that Mr Philip Kostenko had already been arrested along with Ms Anna Udyarova, another member of the ADC Memorial, on 26 November 2011, as they were protesting near the Embassy of Belarus to request the release of Mr Ales Bialiatski, President of the Human Rights Centre Viasna in Belarus, and, more generally, all political prisoners in the region. They were later finally released during the night after eight to nine hours of detention following mobilisation in their favour, both at the national and international level. They were released under the condition that they appear before the police on 28 November 2011, at 11am. At that time, they were informed by the police that they had been charged of two administrative offences: "illegal protesting" and "disobeying the police", punishable by fines and administrative detention.
I urge the authorities of Russian Federation,
###- to guarantee in all circumstances the physical and psychological integrity of Mr Philip Kostenko as well as of all members of the Anti-Discrimination Centre Memorial and all human rights defenders in the Russian Federation; ###- to put an end to any act of harassment - including at the judicial level - against Mr Philip Kostenko as well as against all human rights defenders in the Russian Federation, and ensure in all circumstances that they are able to carry out their legitimate activities without any hindrance and fear of reprisals; ###- to comply with the provisions of the United Nations Declaration on Human Rights Defenders, adopted by the UN General Assembly on 9 December 1998, especially: its Article 1, which states that "everyone has the right, individually and in association with others, to promote and to strive for the protection and realisation of human rights and fundamental freedoms at the national and international levels", its Article 5, which provides that "everyone has the right, individually and in association with others, at the national and international levels (a) to meet or assemble peacefully"; its Article 6 (b) and (c) which states that "everyone has the right, individually and in association with others (...) as provided for in human rights and other applicable international instruments, freely to publish, impart or disseminate to others views, information and knowledge on all human rights and fundamental freedoms and (...) to study, discuss, form and hold opinions on the observance, both in law and in practice, of all human rights and fundamental freedoms and, through these and other appropriate means, to draw public attention to those matters", and Article 12.2, which provides that "the State shall take all necessary measures to ensure the protection by the competent authorities of everyone, individually and in association with others, against any violence, threats, retaliation, de facto or de jure adverse discrimination, pressure or any other arbitrary action as a consequence of his or her legitimate exercise of the rights referred to in the present Declaration"; ###- to comply with the provisions of the Declaration of the Committee of Ministers of the Council of Europe on the protection of human rights defenders and the promotion of their activities, and in particular With Article 2.1 in which the Committee calls on member States to "create an environment conducive to the work of human rights defenders, enabling individuals, groups and associations to freely carry out activities, on a legal basis, consistent with international standards, to promote and strive for the protection of human rights and fundamental freedoms without any restrictions other than those authorised by the European Convention on Human Rights”; ###- and finally, to ensure in all circumstances the respect for human rights and fundamental freedoms in accordance with the Universal Declaration of Human Rights - http://www.un.org/en/documents/udhr/ - and with international and regional human rights instruments ratified by the Russian Federation. THANK YOU for handling the urgent matter.

Republik Kuba„Damen in Weiß“ von Sicherheitskräften des Castro-Regimes attackiert
Willkürliche Verhaftungen und Misshandlung in der Haft
Havanna/Frankfurt am Main (16. Dezember 2011) – Wie die Internationale Gesellschaft für Menschenrechte (IGFM) berichtet, wurden vergangenen Sonntag die „Damen in Weiß“ (Damas de Blanco) bei einem Protestmarsch angegriffen. Die „Damen in Weiß“, die die Freilassung aller politischen Gefangenen forderten und „lang leben die Menschenrechte“ skandierten, wurden von Sicherheitskräften angegriffen, körperlich misshandelt und verhaftet. Der Protestmarsch begann nach einer Messe in der Kirche Santa Rita de Casia in Havannas Stadtteil Miramar. Willkürliche Verhaftungen und Misshandlung in der Haft
Wie Caridad Caballero Batista, Mitglied der „Damen in Weiß“ der IGFM berichtete, fuhren die Sicherheitskräfte mit einem Bus vor und sperrten die gesamte Straße ab. „Als eine Form des Widerstandes setzten wir uns alle auf die Straße und skandierten ‚Freiheit für alle politischen Gefangenen’ und ‚lange leben die Menschenrechte’. Sie umringten uns, beschimpften uns und griffen uns körperlich an. Ich selbst und eine weitere Frau wurden geschlagen und an den Haaren gezogen. Daraufhin wurden wir brutal in einen Bus gezerrt und in verschiedene Haftanstalten transportiert.“, so Caridad Caballero Batista. Erst in der Nacht wurden die verhafteten Mitglieder der „Damen in Weiß“ wieder freigelassen.
Sara Marta Fonseca Quevedo, Vorstandssekretärin der vom Castro-Regime verbotenen Partei „Pro Menschenrechte“ und ebenfalls Mitglied der „Damen in Weiß“, wurde nach eigenen Angaben in der Haft misshandelt. “Sie warfen mich auf den Boden und traten mir mit den Füßen in den Bauch und in den Rücken, bis ich mich vor Schmerzen nicht mehr bewegen konnte“, so Sara Marta Fonseca Quevedo. „Sie wussten, dass ich Wirbelsäulenprobleme habe, darum haben sie mich getreten, aber selbst wenn ich eines Tages im Rollstuhl sitzen sollte, werde ich ihnen weiterhin Widerstand leisten.“
Die IGFM verurteilt die erneuten Verhaftungen und Misshandlungen der „Damen in Weiß“: „Dieses Vorgehen des Castro-Regimes gegen die friedlichen Aktivistinnen für eine kubanische Zivilgesellschaft stellt eine Verletzung fundamentaler Menschenrechte wie der Meinungs- und Versammlungsfreiheit dar. Sie zeigt, wie groß die Angst von Raul und Fidel Castro vor einigen mutigen und freiheitsliebenden Frauen ist“, so die IGFM.

Re- China: Human rights defenders at risk as draft amendments to Criminal Procedure Law would effectively legalise enforced disappearances
An Urgent Appeal addressed to: President Hu Jintao Guojia Zhuxi, The State Council General Office,
2 Fuyoujie, Xichengqu, Beijingshi 100017, People's Republic of China
Mr Hu Jia
Chinese citizen and Sakharov Prize Winner in the year 2008
Your Excellency, dear Ambassador,
Alarm bells begin to ring when intelligent people with a healthy reason hear about the proposed amendments to China's Criminal Procedure Law, which if passed, will effectively lead to the legalisation of enforced disappearances for up to six months of people held on suspicion of “endangering state security”, “serious bribery” or “terrorism”. Fact is that human rights defenders in China are often targeted under the country's vaguely defined state security laws.
Article 73 of the Draft Amendments to the Criminal Procedure Law of the People's Republic of China states that in cases involving the three above charges, suspects may be placed under residential surveillance for up to six months in a location other than their home, if being held in their home “may hinder the investigation”. The police are not obliged to specify the place of detention or notify the suspect's relatives or legal representative of the reasons for the residential surveillance in cases relating to the three charges if doing so “may interfere with the investigation”.
The draft amendments, which were made public on 30 August 2011, are currently under consideration and will be up for adoption by the National People's Congress in March 2012. During the public consultation period, a number of human rights defenders spoke out against the proposed amendments. In an open letter to the National People's Congress, 2008 Sakharov Prize Winner Mr Hu Jia, himself a victim of enforced disappearance, wrote that “this revision of the code of criminal procedure and the addition of truly KGB-like provisions will legalise illegal violations of citizen rights.” He also spoke of the trauma involved for the families of those disappeared: “My mother during the 41 days I was disappeared lost over ten kilograms and often cried, fearing that I had been murdered. The political police from start to finish never notified my family.”
2011 has seen a rise in the number of human rights defenders subjected to enforced disappearances in China. In the crackdown beginning in February of this year, over 20 human rights defenders were disappeared for periods ranging from a few days to three months. Some of those disappeared spoke afterwards of the physical and psychological abuse they suffered during this time. Should the draft amendments to the Criminal Procedure Law be adopted, such disappearances will effectively be legalised and will place human rights defenders at a much greater risk of torture and ill-treatment.
I urge the authorities in China
##- to amend all provisions of the Draft Amendments to the Criminal Procedure Law not in compliance with international human rights norms including in particular, but not only, those related to fair trial rights and the right to freedom of liberty and security of person, with a view to bringing them into compliance with international fair trial guarantees. Article 73 of the Draft Amendments is of particular importance in this regard; ##- to take measures to ensure that the Criminal Procedure Law, both before and after any potential amendments are made, may not be used illegitimately to target human rights defenders; ##- to guarantee in all circumstances that all human rights defenders in China are able to carry out their legitimate human rights activities without fear of reprisals and free of all undue restrictions, including enforced disappearance.

Berlin, 19. Dezember 2011: Premiere von A Letter to the Future - mit IGFM-Infostand zu Menschenrechtsverletzungen in Kuba
Ort: Kino Babylon, Berlin Mitte, http://www.babylonberlin.de/alettertothefuture.htm
Datum: 19. Dezember 2011
Zeit: 20.00 Uhr
Datum: 19. Dezember 2011
Zeit: 20.00 Uhr
In "A Letter to the Future" zeigt Regisseur Renato Martins das emotionale Porträt der kubanischen Familie Torres. Die Familie besteht aus vier Generationen, die die gesamte Entwicklung der kubanischen Revolution in den letzten 50 Jahren durchlebt hat. Was ist aus den Anliegen, Träumen und Hoffnungen der Revolution geworden? Was wird die Zukunft bringen? Über sieben Jahre wurde die Familie Torres vor Ort in Havanna gefilmt. Der Regisseur begleitete den Alltag der Familie und ihrer Freunde, erlebte sie bei den Herausforderungen des täglichen Lebens.
Die Internationale Gesellschaft für Menschenrechte (IGFM) arbeitet zu dem Schwerpunktthema Kuba seit vielen Jahren. Sie begleitet den Film bei ausgewählten Veranstaltungen in Berlin und Frankfurt, um so auch auf die massiven Menschenrechtsverletzungen des Castro-Regimes aufmerksam zu machen.

Kuba zwischen Repression und Hoffnung
Carlos Alberto Montaner Große Veränderungen für Kuba sind nach seiner Meinung dann zu erwarten, wenn die existenziell notwendige Unterstützung für das Castro-Regime zusammenbrechen sollte; nach seinen Informationen sei der Gesundheitszustand Chávez' wesentlich schlechter als in den Medien dargestellt – und die Nachfolgefrage habe der venezolanische Staatschef im Vertrauen auf ein langes Leben nicht geklärt.
Große Angst vor jeder Veränderung
Die von Raúl Castro nun angeschobenen Reformen, mit der Gründung zehntausender Mikrounternehmen genau dort anzusetzen, wo man Ende der 60er Jahre den letzten Rest privatwirtschaftlicher Betätigung zerstört habe, sei aussichtslos, so Montaner: "Wenn man aus dem Fisch erst einmal eine Suppe gemacht hat, dann kann man die Suppe nicht in Fisch zurückverwandeln."
Die Bevölkerung Kubas zerfalle heute in zwei Teile: Jene, die sich jung fühlten, aus ihrem Leben noch etwas machen wollten, hätten keine Hoffnung mehr. Sie wollten raus aus dem Land. Die Alten dagegen, jene, die sich eingerichtet hätten mit Chancenlosigkeit, Armut und all den anderen Markenzeichen des kubanischen Sozialismus, zeigten große Angst vor jeder Veränderung.

Für Menschenrechte und Demokratie in Kuba
Die Konrad-Adenauer-Stiftung setzt sich für Demokratie, soziale Gerechtigkeit, Freiheit und nationale Selbstbestimmung auf Kuba ein.
Der Oppositionelle Oswaldo Payá Sardiñas ist Initiator des Varela-Projekts und des „Programms für alle Kubaner“. Beide setzen auf Integration – nicht auf Konfrontation. Beim Varela-Projekt handelt es sich um eine Gesetzesinitiative zur Abhaltung eines Referendums über demokratische Reformen, für das trotz Repressionen und Einschüchterungen in Kuba bis heute rund 25.000 Unterschriften gesammelt werden konnten. Das Programm Todos Cubanos ist das Ergebnis eines rund zwei Jahre dauernden nationalen Dialogs, an dem 15.000 Kubaner in Kuba und im Exil mitwirkten. In dem Programm werden, ausgehend von der bestehenden Rechtsordnung, konkrete Vorschläge für einen friedlichen Übergang zur Demokratie in Kuba gemacht. Die Konrad-Adenauer-Stiftung unterstützt diese Projekte.
