Three Arab Students Exiled from Jerusalem for Seven Days
By Saed Bannoura | IMEMC News | January 19, 2012
The Arabs48 news website reported on Wednesday that three Arab students, studying at the Engineering Academy in occupied Jerusalem, have received police warrants exiling them from the city for seven days after they called for a boycott of a speech by Israeli President, Shimon Peres.
The students, Khalil Gharra from Jit, Rafat Shaban from Majd Al Koroum, and a third student who remained unidentified due to the ongoing investigation, were forced out of Jerusalem.
They were sent to court on Wednesday and the judge decided to release them under exile until January 25, and sentenced them to house arrest under the condition that they do not communicate with other students.
The issue in question started after the college invited Peres to give a lecture; some of the Arab students then wrote on their Facebook pages that they will not attend the lecture, and expressed their rejection to the college’s decision to urge students to attend.
Representing the students, Attorney Alaa’ Mahajna told the Arabs48 news website that some Israeli media outlets exaggerated in their reporting on the issue, and added that all student groups have the right to express their opinions by calling for the boycott of any program or official.
He also said that there are talks and discussions of boycott in Israel itself, and that prosecuting the students is a direct violation to their freedom of expression. It is worth mentioning that all Arab students boycotted the lecture by President Peres.
Israel has been recently debating and passing laws that criminalize calls for the boycott of Israeli settlement products and Israel officials, due to Israel’s illegal occupation in Palestine.
Pakistan seizes fuel destined for NATO
Press TV – January 19, 2012
Pakistani security forces have seized at least 12 trucks in southwestern Balochistan province, carrying fuel for US-led NATO forces in Afghanistan, Press TV reports.
A convey of trucks carrying around 300 drums filled with fuel for the US-led NATO forces were stopped at Chaman bordering region of Balochistan province near Pakistan-Afghanistan border on Thursday when they were trying to cross the border, a Press TV correspondent reported.
At least 26 people, including drivers and their subordinates were arrested after the recovery of fuel drums from the trucks.
The arrested crew was transferred to an unknown location for further investigation.
Hundreds of Afghan transit trade containers have been blocked in Pakistan over the past weeks, under the suspicion of carrying goods for the US-led coalition forces in Afghanistan.
Pakistan blocked NATO supply routes to landlocked Afghanistan following US-led NATO airstrikes on two Pakistani military checkpoints that killed 24 soldiers in Mohmand Agency on November 26.
In 2001, Pakistan entered an alliance with the US in the so-called war on terror. Thousands of Pakistanis, including many civilians, have lost their lives in the violence since then.

How GMO seeds and “RoundUp” are driving US policy in Venezuela
By Whitney Webb | MintPress News | May 6, 2019
CARACAS, VENEZUELA — As the political crisis in Venezuela has unfolded, much has been said about the Trump administration’s clear interest in the privatization and exploitation of Venezuela’s oil reserves, the largest in the world, by American oil giants like Chevron and ExxonMobil.
Yet the influence of another notorious American company, Monsanto — now a subsidiary of Bayer — has gone largely unmentioned.
While numerous other Latin American nations have become a “free for all” for the biotech company and its affiliates, Venezuela has been one of the few countries to fight Monsanto and other international agrochemical giants and win. However, since that victory — which was won under Chavista rule — the U.S.-backed Venezuelan opposition has been working to undo it. … continue
