[creative-radio] CKUT Radio | India: 'Operation Green Hunt'

* CKUT Radio | India: 'Operation Green Hunt'
interview with activist and academic Radha D'Souza by Stefan Christoff

http://www.radio4all.net/index.php/program/37821

Radha D'Souza speaks on contemporary political realities in India, focusing on
Operation Green Hunt, a major military operation launched by the Indian
government involving over 100 000 military personal. U.S. President Barack
Obama welcomed Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh for an official state visit
in Washington while a massive deployment of Indian military forces launched
attacks on Maoist rebels in India's east, a campaign strongly critiqued by
social justice activists in India and globally.

In this interview Radha D'Souza argues that Operation Green Hunt is a
distraction from critically important issues facing Indian society today, such
as the sever economic inequality that continues to shape Indian society, while
corporations are granted increasing rights via 'special economic zones' which
afford corporate rights but have created displacement for impoverished
communities in India.

Beyond the contemporary political situation Radha D'Souza critically examines
Indian history, offering a historical critique on India's Congress party, often
linked to India's independent struggle against British colonialism and
currently in power.

* Radha D'Souza is an activist, lawyer and academic currently teaching at
University of Westminster in London.

* Stefan Christoff is a journalist and social justice activist based in
Montreal http://twitter.com/spirodon

Re: [creative-radio] Hit with new penalty, silenced Peruvian radio vows to resume broadcasts

If they have in fact advocated acts of violence to achieve their ends then most of the world will not be in sympathy. Peaceful resolution needs peaceful means. Violence is not a tool of the peaceful... or has no one noticed that violent acts are the ones penalized, whether individuals or tyrannous states.

A court has frozen the bank account of the station manager who is planning
to return "The Voice" of Bagua (La Voz) to the air on Jan. 4, the CNR
radio network reports.

Federal regulators cancelled the station's license last June for being out
of administrative compliance, and officials accused The Voice of inciting
deadly riots in Bagua, Amazonas in northern Peru. But station
representatives argued in November before the Inter American Court of
Human Rights that The Voice's closing was politically motivated, and not
because of administrative reasons.

The Communications ministry recently blocked the savings account of
station manager Carlos Flores Borja, who had received a loan from the
National Journalists Association of Peru to buy two hours of daily space
on another radio station. Flores says the blockage of the account will not
keep the station from strating its two-hour daily news program next week
on Radio Ariana Mix 95.5 FM, CNR says.
