Mexico: Violence against women in the family in Mexico

Amnesty International believes that Mexico has made some important advances in recent years in defending women’s right to freedom from violence. In June 2008, wholesale reform of the criminal justice system began. Amnesty Internationals hopes this will also lead to strengthened investigation and prosecution of those responsible for violence against women. The challenge that faces all levels of government is to ensure that new legislation to protect women’s rights are implemented and that the barriers women currently face in accessing safety, justice and reparations are removed.

Mexico: Women's struggle for justice and safety: Violence in the family in Mexico

This report tells the story of many women suffering violence and describes the obstacles they face in accessing safety and justice in Mexico. It shows how women who try to report violence are often met with discrimination. New legislation to guarantee women's right to a life free from violence was introduced in 2007. Amnesty International calls for effective implementation of the new law and on authorities to adopt the organization's 14-point program to ensure access to justice and effective protection for women suffering family violence.

Slovakia: A tale of two schools: Segregating Roma into special education in Slovakia

Almost all the pupils at the primary "special school" in Pavlovce nad Uhom, eastern Slovakia, are Roma. The school is intended for children who have mental disabilities. This case study details how the Romani children are placed in the special school erroneously. Amnesty International calls on the Government of Slovakia to ensure that Romani culture is included in the formal school curriculums and for the development of a comprehensive plan of action to ensure the full integration of Romani children in mainstream education.

Pakistan: Denying the undeniable: Enforced disappearances in Pakistan

In 2006 the Supreme Court took up regular hearings of petitions filed on behalf of Pakistan's 'disappeared'. However, in November 2007, Pervez Musharraf imposed a state of emergency and deposed the majority of judges. Since the elections in February 2008, not much has improved for the “disappeared” or their families. The coalition members have failed to agree on when and how to bring back the deposed justices. Amnesty International calls on the new government to act now to end this grave human rights violation.

Love, hate and the law: decriminalizing homosexuality

The paper explores the different legal approaches to criminalizing homosexuality, including less direct approaches that may not explicitly criminalize same-sex sexual conduct but instead seek to prevent the promotion of homosexuality, protect children, or respond to public health concerns. Decriminalization is not the whole answer, but it is a key step towards respecting, protecting and fulfilling the human rights of lesbian, gay, bisexual, same-sex practicing and transgender people.

United Kingdom: Amnesty International's briefing on the Counter-Terrorism Bill 2008

Amnesty International regrets that many of the concerns expressed in briefings on the Bills that subsequently became the Terrorism Act 2000; the Anti-Terrorism, Crime and Security Act 2001; the Prevention of Terrorism Act 2005; and the Terrorism Act 2006 have needed to be repeated in this document, in relation to the Counter-Terrorism Bill 2008. This briefing highlights only some of the most pressing concerns about the Bill, but does not purport to be an exhaustive analysis.

USA: Guy LeGrande found incompetent for execution due to mental illness

On 27 June, 2008, a North Carolina judge found Guy Tobias LeGrande incompetent for execution due to his serious mental illness. The execution of a person who does not understand the reason for, or reality of his punishment, is unconstitutional in the USA. He has been on death row for 12 years. Amnesty International urges the North Carolina authorities to commute his death sentence and to ensure that he receives all necessary and appropriate treatment for his serious mental illness.

On 30 June 2008, the United Nations Special Rapporteur on extrajudicial, summary or arbitrary executions called on the US government to discontinue all military commission proceedings currently underway against whom the US authorities are to seek the death penalty. On the same day the US Department of Defense announced that capital charges had been sworn against ‘Abd al-Rahim al-Nashiri for trial by military commission. Any trials should be conducted before the appropriate, regularly-constituted criminal courts in the USA, with the full fair trial protections required by international human rights law.

The vowels:

The Consonants:

Letters like g and k represent the same thamizh letter. So, "akhilaa", "akilaa", "agilaa", "acilaa" all give "அகிலா"

To get the complete syllable, suffix it with an "a". For eg., "pa" is "ப".

For half syllables, stop with the code for that syllable alone. For eg., "zh" is "ழ்". The general rule of thumb is that with two touching syllables, the former syllable is a half syllable. So, "chcha" is "ச்ச". The syllable "ங்" has to be typed out as "ng" and it is usually followed by a "k". As in, "thangkai" "தங்கை".
