Bangladeshi police clashed with thousands of garment workers demanding
fair wages for the clothing they make for major Western brands, a day
after similar protests left at least two people dead. Police said
tens of thousands of workers at dozens of factories had launched
strikes in Ashulia and Gazipur, the country’s largest industrial
city.

The anti-junta National Unity Government continues to press on with
governmental business and to build international support, largely from
outside the nation’s borders. Significantly, the NUG has
implemented a cultural and political shift within its ranks, first
appointing an openly gay minister Aung Myo Min into the human rights
cabinet and a Rohingya, Aung Kyaw Moe, as their deputy.

_Malalai Joya and Dick Nichols_ / Links (Sydney)
In Afghanistan, the progressive forces were always under suppression.
Anyone who raised their voice got eliminated or they had to leave the
country. Several assassination attempts were committed against me, and
all sorts of obstacles placed before me because of what I was
doing. Of course, I was not alone.

With growing talk of a possible conflict over Taiwan, the US and
Japanese governments have put Okinawa at the heart of their war
strategies. But the island’s people have suffered enough from
great-power militarism and are organizing their own peace movement.
