A coalition of civil rights groups on Friday filed a lawsuit against Alabama's new immigration law which is described as the strictest anti-illegal immigration law in the United States.
The lawsuit alleged that the Alabama law, set to take effect on Sept. 1, is unconstitutional and endangers public safety, invites racial profiling and interferes with federal law.
It charged that the law subjects Alabamians -- including U.S. citizens and lawful permanent residents -- to unlawful se ... 金曜日に市民団体の連合は、米国で最も厳しい反不法移民法として説明されているアラバマ州の新移民法違反訴訟を提起した

- My letter to Nick Clegg on Palestine | Michael Mansfield
As deputy PM, Nick Clegg, it is your duty to live up to your own words on the daily atrocities happening in the occupied territoriesTo the British deputy prime minister:Dear Nick Clegg,This is a request for action speaking louder than words by the new coalition. I welcome your early commitment to the restoration of civil rights as part of the mainstream agenda for the UK. However, there is a civil rights crisis in the Middle East. Both these situations were seriously ignored by the previous Labour administration.I appreciate that you are well aware that the humanitarian disaster occurring on a daily basis in Palestine has been brought about by the well-recognised and documented unlawful activities of the Israel state. Your article in the Guardian last December admirably exposes the iniquity of the Gaza blockade. There are of course many other examples – illegal settlements, the separation wall, the demolition of Palestinian homes, sequestration of water supplies, destruction of olive groves, etc.The UN and other bodies have passed resolution upon resolution about these matters as well as an extremely strong judgment by the international court of justice in The Hague concerning the wall. But nothing ever happens.As I write, a flotilla of ships convened by a collective of courageous individuals is heading towards the coast of Gaza laden with cement for the long overdue reconstruction and school books for the children. The Israeli navy regularly and illegally restricts Palestinian territorial waters and prevents lawful activity by Palestinians and the entry of humanitarian aid. It is utterly predictable, given the Israeli flagrant disregard for international law, that they will attack this flotilla.You are now in a position to implement the policies you expressed in your a 副首相は、ニッククレッグ、それはあなたの義務を自分の言葉に毎日残。占領territoriesTo英国副首相：親愛なるニッククレッグ、これはアクション話すの要求がで起こって生きることだとして言葉よりも、新しい連立

- Barack Obama's White House bows to the conservatives again
Inflamed by Fox News, a politically-edited video cost Shirley Sherrod her government job, Even when it was exposed as a blatant lie, the White House did not defend herIt is a tried and tested technique. A story surfaces on an obscure, journalistically dubious, conservative website. It spreads to Fox News who churn out their standard-issue anti-liberal outrage. Then, in an effort to catch up, the rest of the mainstream media piles in.So it was last week with a video of a black department of agriculture official, Shirley Sherrod, apparently speaking about not giving a white farmer as much help as she could because of his race. Responding to Fox-inspired howls, Sherrod was rapidly forced to resign by agriculture secretary Tom Vilsack. White House officials clucked approval, apparently relieved they could show that having a black president did not mean being anti-white. Even the venerable civil rights group the NAACP lambasted Sherrod's anti-white racism.But the then a fuller video emerged, revealing the full context of what Sherrod had said, rather than the much shorter, edited version that conservative misfit blogger Andrew Breitbart had posted. It showed beyond doubt that Sherrod had not been describing recent events, but had been talking about her experiences 24 years ago. More damningly, neither had she been racist. Her full speech was in fact a moving story of her discovery that race did not matter and that the real divide in America was between haves and have-nots. Far from abandoning the white farmer, she had helped to save his farm. That version was confirmed by the farmer, who heaped praise on Sherrod on CNN.The behaviour of the conservative media was revealed in all its grim dirty tricks. But what was truly shocking was the reaction, not of Fox News, who can be e 炎症は、フォックスニュース、政治的に編集されたビデオコストシャーリーシェロッド彼女の政府の仕事でさえもがそれは真っ赤なうそとして公開され、ホワイトハウスはherItを守ることはなかったとした、テクニックをテストした

- Shirley Sherrod maintained her dignity despite media attacks | Katha Pollitt
Sacked after her attitude towards a white farmer was misreported, Sherrod kept her cool while others lost theirsFor courage and grace under truly nonsensical fire, Shirley Sherrod, former Georgia state director of rural development for the US Department of Agriculture, is my hero of the year.On 19 July, rightwing blogger Andrew Breitbart released video excerpts of a speech Sherrod, who is black, had given atan NAACP event in March, in which she supposedly boasted that she had dragged her feet in helping a white farmer. Within moments the story went viral – and vicious – throughout the conservative media; Ben Jealous, head of the organisation, tweeted his disapproval of Sherrod; by the end of the day, agriculture secretary Tom Vilsack had fired her.In fact, the excerpts completely misrepresented the speech in which Sherrod movingly described feelings she had had to overcome (and did overcome) when in 1986 a white farmer, Roger Spooner, had come to her for help saving his farm. Given that Sherrod's father had been murdered when she was 17 years old by a white person who was never prosecuted and that a cross had soon after been burned in front of the family home, perhaps she had a lot to get over. The next day, the now very elderly Roger and Eloise Spooner stepped forward to defend Sherrod for having saved their land. Obama called and Vilsack offered to give her back her job. Sherrod declined.The real Shirley Sherrod has been a well-known civil rights activist in Georgia since the late 60s. What does it say about the US that a hack like Breitbart can destroy a decades-long career in one day? That the head of the nation's premier civil rights organisation is so ignorant of the history of his own movement? That the administration of the first black president is so fearful of 白人農民に向かって彼女の態度はmisreportedした略奪の後、Sherrodは、彼女の他は、本当に無意味な攻撃を受けてtheirsForの勇気と優雅さを失っている間冷却さ、シャーリーシェロッドは、米国農務省の農村開発の元ジョージア州の監督、今年の私のヒーローです

- Morocco must leave Western Sahara | John Hilary
Prince Charles's visit to Morocco is a chance to put pressure on King Mohammed to end the brutal occupation of Western SaharaPrince Charles and Camilla are soon to arrive in Morocco on an official visit intended to boost trade and cultural ties with Britain. The Foreign Office has advised that recent unrest in Morocco poses no threat to the royal couple, following King Mohammed VI's announcement of a programme of reforms designed to appease protesters.Yet a serious question mark hangs over the British government's judgment in agreeing to the royal visit, given Morocco's continuing occupation of Western Sahara and the worsening human rights situation there.Morocco has not been immune from the wave of rebellion that has swept across north Africa in recent weeks. Major demonstrations have called for increased civil rights and for constitutional reforms to restrict the power of the monarchy. Teachers' unions have been joined by students in a series of strikes and occupations in protest at state education policy.In response to the protests, Mohammed VI has announced a process of constitutional change that is supposed to lead eventually to a popular referendum. Yet there remains scepticism as to how far the king is prepared to go in meeting the reform agenda.Press freedom, in particular, remains highly circumscribed, even if the means used to clamp down on critical media are sophisticated ones. The recent closure of the popular magazine Nichane shows how economic pressure can be just as effective as outright censorship in suppressing freedom of expression.There is no such subtlety when it comes to Morocco's military occupation of Western Sahara. Here Moroccan forces have waged a brutal war of repression against the Sahrawi people for the past 36 years.

- Guardian Focus podcast: Policing protests
March For The Alternative, the TUC-organised anti-cuts protest on Saturday 26 March, is expected to be the biggest street demonstration in London since those in 2003 against the Iraq war.The Met's assistant commissioner, Lynne Owens, tells Hugh Muir about the police's strategy for the march.The chair of the Metropolitan Police Federation, Peter Smyth, says police officers will be among those protesting against the cuts, and that officers need clearer instructions from their superiors on how to uphold the law during protests.Green party London assembly member Jenny Jones, a member of the Metropolitan Police Authority, has witnessed what she regards as heavy-handed policing at recent protests, and says kettling should never be usedagain.Liberty's legal director, James Welch, says the civil rights organisation's role asindependent observers of the March For The Alternative will help ensure the police's actions are properly scrutinised.Val Swain is founder of Fit Watch, an organisation that opposes heavy-handed policing and surveillance filming. She argues that Liberty has compromised its independence by working so closely with the police on the march.Vikram Dodd, the Guardian's crime correspondent, says the Met can't afford to lose control of the streets ahead of the inquest into the death of Ian Tomlinson, the newspaper vendor who died in last year's G20 protests.Guardian video producer John Domokos describes his experience of filming from inside a police kettle.Hugh MuirIain ChambersVikram DoddJenny JonesJames WelchJohn Domokos

- In praise of … Jimmy McGovern | Editorial
The best television screenwriter around should be applauded and defended from the charge that he is being unpatrioticFor drama to be deemed safe, it's best if it is about the past. Jimmy McGovern, the best television screenwriter around, has been attacked by Tim Collins, the colonel who became a celebrity for a rousing address to his troops on the eve of the Iraq war. What drew the retired colonel's ire is an episode to be screened next week in the current Accused series about the consequences of two squaddies disobeying orders in Afghanistan. He called it irresponsible and desperate to shock. He said the drama abjectly failed soldiers who were risking their lives on the frontline. McGovern got the same treatment for his drama about Bloody Sunday, which was also accused of being one-sided, selective with the facts, and over the top in its depiction of violence. Eamonn McCann, one of the organisers of the civil rights protest, wrote at the time of the film's first screening that the hostility to it – and to another television drama on the same events by Paul Greengrass – arose not from concern for the truth, but from an unwillingness to acknowledge it. After the findings of the Saville inquiry few would now say that McGovern's drama Sunday was particularly overstated. Those events are long gone, but the war in Afghanistan will drag on for some time. Do we have to wait three decades before it creates drama that is challenging to watch? McGovern should be applauded and defended from the charge that he is being unpatriotic. Viewers should decide for themselves where the truth about this conflict lies, and who is being patriotic about telling it.DramaTelevisionMilitaryAfghanistanguardian.co.uk © Guardian News & Media Limited 2010 | Use of this content is subject to our それは過去約されている場合最高のテレビ脚本家の周りする必要があります称賛し、彼はunpatrioticForドラマは安全とみなされるとされている料金から守る、それが最善です
- Evangelicals and Obama: a holy alliance on immigration | Samuel Rodriguez
The US immigration debate provides an opportunity for a new relationship between Obama and the evangelical communityThe much anticipated speech on immigration by President Obama began with a much unexpected introduction. Bill Hybels, senior pastor of Willow Creek church in the suburbs of Chicago introduced our commander in chief. Hybels, an evangelical pastor of one of the nation's largest congregations also oversees what may arguably stand as the pre-eminent non-denominational evangelical network, the Willow Creek Association. The question arises, why would a conservative evangelical pastor introduce the president of the United States when evangelicals and the president disagree on so many issues? The answer lies embedded in the underlying threads that surround the immigration reform debate.While immigration reform continues to polarise communities and divide our country, it also facilitates an opportunity for a conversation and a relationship that would not otherwise exist; a relationship between conservative evangelicals and President Obama. In addition to Hybel's introduction, evangelical leaders were also sitting front and centre as the president addressed the nation from the podium at American University. Richard Land, Leith Anderson and yours truly sat awaiting the president's presentation on an issue that transcends political ideology.Evangelicals stand as the leading constituency in favour of a comprehensive solution in today's immigration debate. In 2006, business and immigrant advocacy groups led the charge. Today, the faith community, particularly the evangelical community, stands front and centre just as mainline denominations led the charge for civil rights in the 1950s and 60s. Correspondingly, evangelicals, widely recognised as social conservatives and t 米国の移民の議論は、オバマ氏と福音communityThe間の新たな関係の多くのオバマ大統領移民スピーチを予想する機会を提供する多くの予期しない導入で始まった

- The California same-sex ruling | Michael Tomasky
A California judge - a Republican appointee - has overturned that state's voters' decision in 2008 to go against same-sex marriage. At other times I might have fretted about the backlash and so on. Today I say to hell with the backlash.This is the right decision; the civil rights of gay people in California were being violated, period. It's great and historic and moves us closer to making gay marriage legal across the country. People freaked out about this should consult Iowa, where legal gay marriage has had absolutely no impact whatsoever on straight people's marriages.Marc Ambinder has an informative post on Judge Vaughn Walker's 13 findings of fact that will form the basis of future legal arguments as this case heads to the ninth circuit, in San Francisco, and then to the Supreme Court.I usually look at these things politically, thinking about their impact in November. But today I don't even care. Let it have whatever impact it's going to have in November. If it fires up the wingers, so be it. This is history moving in the right direction.On a day when Republicans are trying to declare that some people born here shouldn't be citizens, when a poll comes out showing (as I just saw on TV) that only 42% of Americans are now certain that the president was born in this country, and when some conservatives are trying to say that Michelle Obama's attempt to have admirers sign an electronic birthday card for her husband smacks of Stalinism, one piece of good, decent, rational, fact-based, non-hysterical decision-making, by someone who might well even be a Republican, is to be celebrated.Gay rightsCaliforniaMichael Tomaskyguardian.co.uk © Guardian News & Media Limited 2010 | Use of this content is subject to our Terms & Conditions | More Feeds

- Percy Sutton obituary
Energetic embodiment of US black progressAs his protege the Rev Al Sharpton put it, the politician, lawyer and businessman Percy Sutton, who has died aged 89, personified a century in which African-American people started as victims, but ended as victors. Though Sutton's father had been born into slavery before the civil war, he became a farmer and then the head teacher of a segregated high school in San Antonio, Texas. All of his 12 surviving children got a college education, and Percy went on to become a significant figure in New York politics and a role model for the next generation.After studying at the all-black Tuskegee Institute in Alabama and the Hampton Institute in Virginia, Sutton served in the second world war in the all-black fighter squadron known as the Tuskegee Airmen, and as an intelligence officer in Italy. Then he went to law school in Brooklyn, and soon built up a practice as a civil rights lawyer.He represented many black activists arrested in civil rights demonstrations in the south, and was himself once arrested with Stokely Carmichael. He was lawyer to Malcolm X and his widow, Betty Shabazz, and defended their grandson when, at the age of 12, he was convicted of starting the fire that killed Shabazz in 1997.Sutton in effect succeeded Adam Clayton Powell Jr as the political boss of Harlem, joining a group of African-American politicians known as the Harlem Clubhouse. It included the future powerful black congressman Charles Rangel; the future mayor of New York, David Dinkins; and Basil Paterson, the father of the present governor of New York, David Paterson.In 1965, Sutton was elected a member of the New York state assembly and soon became the spokesman for its 13 African-American members. The following year, he was elected borough president of Ma _NULL_
- The people's brakes on war | Caryl Churchill and Amir Amirani
Historic protests couldn't stop the invasion of Iraq, but the legacy will be felt if conflict grows with IranSeven years ago today, it was hard to believe how many people were on the streets trying to prevent the Iraq war. There was anger and foreboding, but also a feeling of exhilaration. Surely a march this big would have some effect. As we know, it didn't.Yet the numbers on that 15 February 2003 march, the biggest demonstration ever held in Britain (joined by more than 10 million people in over 60 countries in what became the largest worldwide demonstration in history), do matter. Because what they pointed to was something unique. For every regular protester, there were a vast number of people who'd never marched before.So was the protest a failure? Given that we know now that Tony Blair had decided for war, any number of millions might not have deterred him. But the protesters have succeeded in making opposition to war a part of mainstream political debate. Not just in parliament, where the vote for war was won by only 12 MPs, but in the traditionally conse。vative press. The Daily Mail pointed to the anti-war demonstrators gathered for Blair's appearance before the Chilcot inquiry, and a poll showing that 80% of people polled thought Blair was lying, to state the country now shared the sentiments of the protesters.The protest also shattered the myth of political apathy. While whole series of demonstrations have been largely ignored by the media, in a bedrock of growing public disillusionment, even the most unsympathetic could hardly fail to take note of the size of that turnout.No movements succeed overnight. The civil rights movement in the United States eventually led to the end of segregation, and the Suffragettes in Britain got the vote. In the case of Iraq, 歴史的な抗議行動が、イラクの侵攻を止めることができなかった場合、競合とのIranSeven年前の今日は、どのように多くの人が通り、イラク戦争を阻止しようとするのが信じられなかったの成長は、従来の感じられるだろう
