Groups seek freedom from the burdens of corruption by passing an Act of Access to Information.

(KABUL, Afghanistan) - According to a recent survey in 2010, bribery has doubled in the last three years and amounts close to one billion dollars.

The lack of information provides a prosperous environment for corruption, bribery and deprives citizens from accessing public services provided by the Afghan government and foreign assistance.

The List of Murdered and Exiled Journalist in Rwanda Continues to Grow

The recent loss of one Rwandan journalist is fresh in the minds of many, and far from the first.

(BRUSSELS / PORTLAND) - The murder of journalist Jean-Léonard Rugambage on the night of June 24, is another suggestive inclination for the Kagame regime.

Turkish Journalist Recounts Flotilla Attack

"Everything happened so fast. At the same time, they boarded us from boats and descended from helicopters by rope. And as they were descending they starting firing" - Ayşe Sarıoğlu, who was on board the Mavi Marmara

(ISTANBUL) - Following is my (rough) translation of excerpts from the first part of Taraf newspaper’s two-part interview with Ayşe Sarıoğlu, a 27-year-old graduate student at Istanbul University, who was on board the Mavi Marmara.

Sarıoğlu begins the interview by explaining that although she is sympathetic to the Palestinian cause, she participated in the expedition to Gaza as a journalist.

United States: Spiraling Into Hypocrisy and Darkness

Israel, where lies, propaganda and murder are subsidized by the U.S. taxpayer.

(SALEM, Ore.) - If the United States were to be attacked again, I doubt other nations would lose near the number of tears. They did once, but then it only takes so many opportunities to prove to the world that you are only a semblance, a joke of your former self.

What if Iran Had Carried out the Gaza Carnage?

Would my country have been treated the same way as Israel?

(TEHRAN) - It's not unjustifiable to consider Israel as the absolute incarnation of fraudulence, relentlessness and brutality.

Since its establishment, the Zionist regime has carried out actions which contravene the international regulations and cancel out the human rights in a way or another. Only a brief look into the account of Israel's bloody interaction with the Palestinian people over the past years shows us that this fabricated regime does not deserve "the right of existence", as the U.S. and European officials put it periodically.
