La Haute instance pour la réalisation des objectifs de la Révolution a poursuivi, jeudi, l’examen du projet du Code de la presse, de l’impression et de la diffusion. Il interdit toute ingérence du ministère de l’Intérieur dans les domaines de la presse et de l’édition qui relèvent désormais du pouvoir judiciaire. Les intervenants ont salué la suppression du régime d’autorisation pour les domaines de l’édition des livres, des ouvrages et des périodiques, remplacé par la déclaration. Ils ont également évoqué la protection de la confidentialité des sources journalistiques et la suppression de certaines dispositions répressives dont celles relatives à la diffamation.

It's no secret that Nicolas Sarkozy is a strong supporter of more draconian copyright laws, and has also been talking about the need to clamp down on free expression online. Even so, it's still a bit shocking to see him outright declare that copyright is more important than human rights online : The Foreign Ministry said that France does not wish to sign a UN declaration favorable to the defense of human rights on the Internet until there is no consensus on the fact that freedom expression and communication does not take precedence over other rights, including intellectual property.
France: Copyright Is More Important Than Human Rights
Justin Warren and Mark Shwartz The researchers' plan calls for wind and solar power to contribute 90 percent of needed energy. If someone told you there was a way you could save 2.5 million to 3 million lives a year and simultaneously halt global warming, reduce air and water pollution and develop secure, reliable energy sources – nearly all with existing technology and at costs comparable with what we spend on energy today – why wouldn't you do it? According to a new study coauthored by Stanford researcher Mark Z. Jacobson, we could accomplish all that by converting the world to clean, renewable energy sources and forgoing fossil fuels.
The world can be powered by alternative energy in 20-40 years, Stanford researcher says
Profile: Libyan rebel commander Abdel Hakim Belhaj
4 July 2012 Last updated at 10:32 ET Abdel Hakim Belhadj is a rising star in the Libyan leadership and standing for election, but his past ties to jihadi groups have sparked controversy - along with his claims of being tortured at the behest of US and British intelligence agencies under the programme known as rendition. In August 2011 he stood victorious inside Col Muammar Gaddafi's Bab al-Aziziya compound after fighters from his Tripoli Brigade broke through the defences of the ousted leader's fortress. But the victory was a long time coming for the staunch anti-Gaddafi fighter, who spent seven years in the city's notorious Abu Selim prison, where he says he was regularly tortured. He says he and his wife, Fatima Bouchar, were handed to the Gaddafi regime by the CIA after being arrested in Thailand and transported via UK-controlled Diego Garcia. Now he is taking legal action against former British Foreign Secretary Jack Straw over claims that Mr Straw signed papers authorising the move.
NEW YORK—The publication this week of Dick Cheney’s memoir, In My Time , has revealed the former vice president enjoys a fulfilling life unaffected by any sense of guilt or regret and there’s absolutely nothing any of us can do about it. “This unique look at an otherwise intensely private man’s inner thoughts shows us he couldn’t be prouder of his life’s work and will never feel one single moment of anguish over his actions no matter how desperately we want him to,” book critic James L. Warner writes of the 576-page memoir’s disclosure that Cheney would spend his retirement never second-guessing his advocacy of a disastrous war, the torture of detainees, illegal wiretapping, or tax cuts that created devastating budget deficits and crippled the U.S. economy. “Nothing we do will ever change the fact that this man sleeps very soundly at night and, in fact, looks back fondly upon a long, rewarding career. You almost have to admire that.”

Plusieurs centaines de milliers de manifestants en Israël pour réclamer des changements sociaux
La contestation sociale a atteint samedi un nouveau pic quand des centaines de milliers d'Israéliens ont déferlé dans le centre de Tel Aviv et dans une quinzaine de localités pour dénoncer le coût de la vie, selon les médias .

Ce soir, nous avons démontré le contraire" , a proclamé à la tribune l'une des figures du mouvement, Itzik Shmuli , secrétaire général de l'union des étudiant israéliens.
