activists in Greece are involved in fighting the activities of a
Canadian corporation that is threatening to take over an entire region
of the northern part of the country to expand gold mining, with the
complicity of the Greek government which hopes it will bring in an
influx of cash. The community is mobilising a resistance campaign on
health, economic and ecological grounds that is being met by strong
state-sponsored repression. <span style="color:rgb(38,38,38);line-height:21px">You
can find information about mining activities in Halkidiki, Greece, the
impacts on the environment, health and local economy and the people’s
struggle against the destructive mining activities. The text is enriched
with references, scientific papers, videos and articles.</span></span></div><div>

video is about the criminalization of social struggle in Ecuador.
Activist fighting for the right to water (Carlos Pérez- who was invited
to PHAIII but could not leave the country due to the judicial process,
Federico Guzmán and Efraín Arpi) were condemned on charges of terrorism
to a year in jail. Given that water defense is an "altruistic"
struggle, the Supreme Court of Justice, shortened their sentence to 8
days. Thursday 21 March 2013, the activists have been put on jail for 8
days. </span><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms,geneva;font-size:small">Regardless of the length of the sentence, people who disagree and in our
particular case, the persecution to organizations and activists that
oppose minning in the country needs to be condemned.</span></div><div style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13.33px;font-style:normal;background-color:transparent"><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms,geneva;font-size:small"></span> </div>
