「重要事件除き裁判権放棄」 政府、米との「密約」公開
日本政府が在日米軍関係者の公務外の犯罪について「重要事件以外は裁判する権利を行使しない」との見解を明記した秘密文書を１９５３年に米政府と交わしていた。一定の裁判権を放棄し、起訴しない方針を示したものだ。松本剛明外相が２６日、関連文書を公開した。
米兵らの公務外の犯罪に対する裁判権は、５２年の日米行政協定（日米地位協定の前身）では米国側にあったが、５３年の協定改定で日本に移った。公開された文書には、改定交渉の中で日米両政府が裁判権放棄について協議していたことを示すものが含まれていた。
日本側発言の草案と見られる文書もあり、そこには「実質的に見て重要であると考えられる以外の事件は（中略）裁判権を行使する第１次の権利を行使する意図を通常有しない」などと記されている。
日米両政府は、改定された行政協定が発効する前日に会議を開催。法務省の津田実・刑事局総務課長（当時）が草案通りに発言して文書に署名した。この秘密文書は当時、米側だけで保管すると取り決めたため、日本政府の資料からは見つからなかったという。日本政府は今回、米側から英文の秘密文書提供を受け、和訳して公開した。
たしか、米兵によるレイブ事件は起訴されないケースが多かった筈。それとの関係はどうなのだろうか。
米軍基地がある地域で反発がおきるのも無理はない。日本の保守はいったい何を保守しているのだろうか？

Ultranationalism Rears Its Ugly Head in Japan

Many ultranationalists harbor deep-seated resentment toward American troop presence in Japan, viewing it as an ongoing form of “occupation.” Indeed, Ishihara, an admirer of Hitler, has repeatedly challenged the presence of American boots on Japanese soil.

White nationalist party pushing candidate for Mesa council
Posted: Thursday, August 25, 2011 11:12 am | Updated: 3:02 pm, Thu Aug 25, 2011.
By Garin Groff, Tribune | 6 comments
A political party that advocates for white people plans to run a candidate for an East Valley office - and perhaps other elected positions - next year.
Ralph Brandt is seeking a City Council post in Mesa, the same community where J.T. Ready sought the same office five years ago only to later be pictured at a neo-Nazi rally.
Brandt is the Arizona leader of the American Third Position, a political party that is making a push to run candidates in all 50 states.
He said modern-day McCarthyism is at play against people who promote European heritage, and he's gotten unfriendly responses at times when handing out brochures.
"One reaction I get quite often is if I'm a member of the KKK or a Nazi or something like that - all the usual stereotypes," he said. "Blacks have the NAACP, Mexicans have La Raza but there's no political group representing the political interests of white people. There's a tremendous gap which we have the potential for filling."
The party formed in 2009 and has quickly grown in strength and its activity, said Heidi Beirich, the Southern Poverty Law Center's director of research. The nonprofit civil rights organization said the white nationalist party was founded by skinheads but now is headed by professors and a corporate lawyer.
"The leadership is more highbrow today but the basic principle of the party is to make this a white country. As a result, we list them as a hate group," Beirich said. "They've got some really high powered white nationalists on there."

China military 'closing key gaps', says Pentagon
・・・・・
The new capabilities could tempt Beijing to use military force to resolve disputes in its favour, he said.

China criticised the US report as an exaggeration.
"It is weird that the Pentagon, whose expenditures reached nearly $700bn and accounted for over an appalling 40% of the world's total in 2010, routinely points its finger at China, whose military only spends a small fraction of what the Pentagon consumes every year," said a commentary in state-run Xinhua news agency.

Police admit failure to treat Chinese man's murder as racist
Lothian and Borders force said there were significant and unacceptable flaws in investigation into Simon San's death

guardian.co.uk, Tuesday 23
The family of a murdered Chinese man have received a public apology after the police admitted that officers had failed to treat an attack by a gang of youths as a racist murder.
Lothian and Borders police said on Tuesday there were a series of "significant" and unacceptable flaws in its investigation into the killing last year of Simon San, a 40-year-old takeaway worker.
San died from severe head injuries after he was attacked by a group of white youths outside the family's Chinese takeaway at Lochend in Edinburgh. San's head hit the ground with fatal force after one attacker, John Reid, 16, struck him with a "poleaxe" blow.
After admitting culpable homicide, Reid was jailed for five years while two other attackers, also 16, had their sentences for assault later cut to 26 and 24 months.
The police had decided the attack was a robbery because San's wallet and mobile were taken. They ignored the family's belief that it was racially motivated, based on earlier incidents and eyewitness testimony that his attackers called San "chinky".
Detectives also found at an early stage that one of San's attackers was "racially prejudiced" and had been reported for a racist offence, while another two had previously been charged for attacking another Chinese shopkeeper.
A year-long internal inquiry overseen by Deputy Chief Constable Steve Allen, the force's second in command, also discovered that a senior investigator on the case was untrained in murder inquiries, that senior officers failed to identify San's murder as a "critical incident" and that the force let down San's family.
It also emerged that the police had wrongly described San as Vietnamese and that one senior officer had claimed he was "in the wrong place at the wrong time", a remark Allen admitted was deeply offensive to the family.

Roma campaigners dismiss Brussels' claim on evictions and expulsions
France and Italy among member states still breaking up camps and deporting EU citizens contrary to announcement, NGOs say
Leigh Phillips in Brussels and Angelique Chrisafis in Paris
guardian.co.uk, Thursday 25 August 2011
A year after a succession of countries in Europe began breaking up Roma encampments and expelling hundreds of EU citizens back mainly to Romania, the European commission has claimed it is winning the battle to protect citizens' right to free movement across the bloc.
But advocates of Roma rights have warned Brussels that it is not doing enough to protect Europe's largest minority ethnic group, and that evictions and deportations continue to be carried out, primarily by France and Italy.
欧州では欧州市民に移動の自由があるにもかかわらず、フランスイタリアで、ロマ・ジプシーを国外退去させている、と。
Last July, the French president, Nicolas Sarkozy, was lambasted by the commission and the Vatican when he linked immigration to crime and promised to expel Roma migrants and destroy illegal camps in a bid to tighten security.
More than 70% of illegal Roma encampments were razed and families were offered a financial incentive to leave the country. A year on, French NGOs said that despite such "discriminatory targeting" by the government, there were the same number of Roma in France as before many had returned. But with camps destroyed, people were living in more poverty and worse conditions than ever, amid a climate of fear and intimidation towards them.
The commission says it has since applied pressure on member states to protect the rights of Roma EU citizens to move anywhere in the union.

France crime crackdown targets foreigners
By Raphael Hermano (AFP) – Jul 30, 2010
GRENOBLE, France ― French President Nicolas Sarkozy vowed Friday to crack down on foreign-born criminals, pushing his "war on crime" amid fear of violence between police and immigrant minorities.
Sarkozy vowed to strip foreign-born individuals of their French nationality if they attack police or public officials, in the wake of deadly shootings and other violence between police and suspects in largely immigrant districts.
His declaration coincided with evidence of violent behaviour by the authorities themselves: a video of French police violently evicting Africans from a squat in a suburb of Paris.
The video, published on the website DailyMotion and broadcast by CNN news, shows police dragging screaming African women along the ground, including one with a baby in a sling on her back beneath her and another apparently pregnant.
France’s Sarkozy Links Immigration and Crime, Establishes a “National Identity”
Posted Tuesday, August 3, 2010 by Julissa Treviño
France’s conservative president Nicolas Sarkozy has been under fire since he unveiled his proposal for immigration policy Friday. Sarkozy linked crime and lack of security to immigration when he was speaking in the city of Grenoble, where the death of a man of Arab origin who was fleeing the police started a riot two weeks ago, causing leftist groups and immigration advocates to question his motives.
“We are suffering from 50 years of lax immigration regulation which has led to a failure of integration,” Sarkozy says. The French president’s new proposal, which he released on Friday, includes a review of foreign-born underage offenders before they become citizens at 18 and taking away citizenship from foreign-born immigrants who threaten the life of a police officer. Other proposals include sentences of up to 30 years for killing police officers and requiring convicted criminals to wear electronic tags after release.
"I hope that we evaluate the rights and benefits given to illegal immigrants,” Sarkozy says. “An illegal can not have more rights than someone who is here legally." Le Monde analyzes the president’s consistent rhetoric on security and crime this weekend here.
Just last week, Sarkozy made another controversial move when he ordered the removal of Gypsy ― or Roma ― undocumented immigrants and the dismantling of their camp grounds. The Roma immigrant population, most of whom come from Eastern Europe, has had a shaky relationship with the European Union governments. Sarkozy says illegal Gypsy camps are sources of trafficking, exploitation, and prostitution and "will be systematically evacuated.” Those words, in the minds of many, conjured up images of concentration camps and Nazi-like policies.

Arizona’s Latino Community Calls On Senator McCain To Apologize For Blaming Illegal Immigrants For Wildfire
A day after two Arizona men were charged with starting the Wallow Fire, a Democratic state lawmaker accused U.S. Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., of erroneously blaming the wildfire on illegal immigrants.
Joined at a news conference by several Latino community leaders, Sen. Steve Gallardo, D-Phoenix, said Thursday that McCain should “man up” and apologize.
マッケイン議員が国境でおきる火事は不法移民のせいだ、と言ったが、人種差別発言で、謝れ、と。
In a July testimony to a U.S. House subcommittee, Jim Pena, associate deputy chief of the National Forest System, said that 1 percent of the 457 human-caused fires in southeastern Arizona from 2002-2011 were determined to be caused by illegal immigrants.

CNN Journalist Soledad O’Brien Gives Voice to Ethnic Communities

CNN Journalist Soledad O’Brien
As the daughter of an interracial couple growing up in a middle-class town on Long
Island in the 1970s, Soledad O’Brien learned not to let inappropriate or racist comments throw her. “On the one hand it was a very normal, boring middle class childhood, and on the other we knew we weren’t always going to fit in,” says the CNN journalist.
So when the Rev. Jesse Jackson complained that CNN didn’t have any Black anchormen and anchorwomen and dismissed her Afro-Cuban heritage on her mother’s side saying at a private meeting in 2007 she didn’t “count as Black,” O’Brien was embarrassed at her response. She felt angry and did not push back with a follow-up question.

'Racism built into UK police force'
Fri Aug 26, 2011 7
The British police have killed three people with Taser guns and pepper spray as concerns rise over the police brutality in the United Kingdom.
Amnesty International has expressed concerns over the use of Taser guns by the UK police against British citizens.
Fri Aug 26, 2011 7
Press TV interviews Chris Bambery, a political analyst in London, to discuss the issue.
What follows is the text of the interview:
Press TV: Mr. Bambery, many ask why would the British police have to kill people with Taser and pepper guns, especially since Amnesty International has shown great concerns with this. However, they insist on using such a potentially deadly weapon, why?
Bambery: I think it takes us to the background where we saw a major social unrest in this country this month and calls from the government and police chiefs for the use, in addition to Taser guns and pepper spray, of plastic bullets and CS (Counter-Strike) gas.
Over a thousand people have died in police custody in the last ten years. So, I think there are major questions to be asked about this. The latest killing in Bolton was someone who had clearly psychiatric problems. He was mutilating himself with a knife. He was no danger to anyone but himself so why the police had to shoot him by Taser gun is the question has got to be asked in the first place.
Three deaths in a short space of time, 24 hours, I think, means that we have to consider banning the use of these Taser guns and the pepper spray which was involved in one of the killings and we have to look at the number of deaths in police custody in this country.
If this were happening anywhere else in the world, the British government would complain about the number of people dying in prisons and police cells and at police hands after they are arrested. But here the police chief just simply dismissed these questions and insist that they have to use Taser gun despite the fact that there is a deadly record of that. This also takes place in a bad week for the police in Britain.
The Police Complaints Authority has criticized the police for handling of, late last year, of a student demonstrator who was dragged from his wheelchair twice and beaten with a truncheon and it called that inappropriate although they asked the police they should consider training themselves how to deal with the disabled protesters. It seems to be a slap on arm but it is an embarrassment for the police.
So, I think there are many questions people will be asking about the response to the riots and social unrest. David Cameron, the prime minister, and others have been calling for stepping up a number of weapons, repressing weapons, that the police would have at their disposal.
Press TV: Why do you think the police are not responsive when it comes to killing people, we have Mark Dugan whose death sparked these outrageous protests and now these three people?
Bambery: Well, Mark Dugan's death is the very case in point. The police lied about the conditions in which he was killed. They lied about how he was killed, claiming that he opened fire on them. That turned out to be incorrect. They claimed the bullet that was fired from his gun ricocheted off a police radio. That was found to be the police's bullet but the independent police complaint body which was set up under the last new Labor government which promised to investigate cases of injustice, it proves to be a powerless body which simply gives slap on the wrist to the police and they cannot get away with it.
The people who are dying tend to be people with psychiatric problem, they tend to belong to the minority communities, from black communities, and I think that reflects the dismissal of these people, the racism which is built into the system in this country, built into the police force. I feel that maybe the police feel that these people are almost worthless and therefore they can do what they like with them.

Six racist incidents daily in Manchester schools
By Aliya Al-Yassin
Racism is still at large in Manchester schools. New figures show there are six racist incidents in Greater Manchester classrooms everyday. These include racist jokes, name-calling and intimidation.
The figures were obtained under Freedom of Information rules by the Manchester Evening News.
Additionally, more than 2000 cases of abusive language, racist graffiti and violence were reported in Manchester痴 schools last year. No action was taken in nearly a third of those cases.

UK Filipinos Angered By Racist Tabloid Column
Filipinos in the United Kingdom cried foul as a British tabloid columnist talked of “buying Filipino dwarves” in criticizing Hollywood celebrity couple Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt when they chartered an entire train express there for their kids and entourage.
On August 16, the couple commissioned 14 carriages of Virgin train for them, their kids and entourage for a 5-hour ride from London to Glasgow.
On Aug. 18, “The Sun” guest columnist Rod Liddle wrote: “They should have bought a team of 25 Filipino dwarves to carry them on a giant golden litter all the way up the M6, which they’d had shut for the day.”
Filipinos, who felt insulted for what was perceived to be an insinuation that Filipinos are short in height and are slaves, expressed their displeasure over Liddle’s column on social networking sites.

Few Say Race Relations Have Improved Under Obama
His election as America’s first black head of state was seen by many as evidence that the U.S. had finally moved on from the days of racism and segregation.
But according to a new survey, many Americans believe race relations may have deteriorated under President Barack Obama’s presidency.
Nearly one in four Americans feel that racial relations have got worse since President Obama took office in 2008, the poll revealed.
Almost a quarter – 23 per cent – of respondents said racial harmony had declined during Mr Obama’s first term in office.
And just 35 per cent said things have improved, while 41 per cent said that nothing had changed.
Put together the poll means that nearly two thirds of Americans believe race relations have remained static or declined.

Cody Crawford, who has been under investigation since the Corvallis mosque was torched Nov. 28, was arrested Wednesday night at a home in nearby Monmouth. Officials said he did not resist arrest.
