- An opinion piece by RSF secretary-general Robert Menart details the charges against journalists imprisoned in Cuba for publishing articles in the US press. Twenty-nine other journalists like him are imprisoned in Cuba. Most of them received sentences ranging from 14 to 27 years in early April in trials held in the best Stalinist fashion -- lasting just a few hours and with their dose of repentant offenders, spies and informers taking the witness stand. Their lawyers were not shown the... |

- The US Southern Command of the Defense Department imposed on its soldiers in a group run, having them all run a nine-minute mile. A nine minute mile is a reasonable request, after all. Well, not all people are resonable though, and one woman sued, claiming that an equal standard for all was biased against women. The Pentagon disagreed, fortunately: But a report by the Defense Department Office of Inspector General states that the run did not have "the purpose or effect of harassing women because of their sex, did not create a hostile work environment based on gender and therefore did not constitute gender discrimination. |
