#Apple demande pourquoi le #FBI n’a pas sollicité la #NSA pour rentrer dans l’iPhone du tireur de San Bernardino (ben oui, tiens !)
▻http://www.wired.com/2016/03/apple-lambasts-fbi-not-asking-nsa-help-hack-iphone
“The government does not deny that there may be other agencies in the government that could assist it in unlocking the phone and accessing its data; rather, it claims, without support, that it has no obligation to consult other agencies,” Apple wrote, noting that FBI Director James Comey danced around the question of NSA assistance when asked about it during a recent congressional hearing.
And if the FBI can’t on its own break into iPhones without NSA help, it should invest in developing that capability, Apple says, instead of seeking unconstitutional ways to force tech companies to assist it.
“Defining the scope of the All Writs Act as inversely proportional to the capabilities of the FBI removes any incentive for it to innovate and develop more robust forensic capabilities,” Apple wrote. The company quotes Susan Landau, a professor of cybersecurity policy at Worcester Polytechnic Institute, who has said that “[r]ather than asking industry to weaken protections, law enforcement must instead develop a capability for conducting sophisticated investigations themselves.”

As Apple filed its defense against the government on Monday, FBI Director James Comey was in Beijing, meeting with the head of China’s surveillance state. According to state media reports, Comey and Public Security Minister Guo Shengkun discussed ways to “deepen law enforcement and security cooperation.”

  Apple reveals new details of data centres in China - FT.com
  ▻http://www.ft.com/intl/cms/s/0/2676f69a-eb04-11e5-bb79-2303682345c8.html
  In China — Apple’s fastest-growing market — the company has acceded to unusual government requests, such as using China-based data centres and incorporating a Chinese WiFi standard, drawing criticism over whether it was turning a blind eye to government snooping. China accounts for a quarter of Apple’s revenue, with sales of $18bn last quarter.
  Apple attempted to address these concerns in court documents filed on Tuesday in preparation for its hearing next week in the case brought by the FBI. The bureau is seeking court approval to compel Apple to unlock an iPhone used by one of the San Bernardino terrorists.
  (…) Apple attorneys said that its servers in China stored data that was fully encrypted, and that the servers were there to reduce the lag-time, or latency, for Apple users in China. Only Chinese citizens’ data were stored there, the attorney said, and the fact that the server was physically located in China was irrelevant because the encryption key was in the US.
  Apple began storing Chinese users’ data in local servers there in 2014, before the iPhone 6 went on sale in the region.
  Mr Federighi [head of software engineering] said Apple only ever provided an unmodified iPhone as part of its applications for regulatory approval around the world, and had never shared the iPhone source code with any government.
  Apple received requests from the Chinese government for data on more than 4,000 devices during the first half of last year, and complied with three-quarters of the requests. By comparison, Apple received more than 9,000 requests from the US during the same period.

China formally arrests secretly held rights lawyers for subversion - World | The Star Online
▻http://www.thestar.com.my/news/world/2016/01/12/china-formally-arrests-secretly-held-rights-lawyers-for-subversion
China formally arrested several Chinese human rights lawyers on suspicion of subverting state power after months of secret detention, one of their colleagues said on Tuesday, the latest move by authorities to crack down on dissent.
President Xi Jinping’s administration has tightened control over almost every aspect of civil society since 2012, citing the need to buttress national security and stability.
As many as 38 lawyers and activists associated with the Beijing Fengrui law firm have been swept up in the crackdown and held since July under a procedure which allows for six months of secret detention, Human Rights Watch has said.
The firm has represented several high profile clients, such as the ethnic Uighur dissident Ilham Tohti. State media has accused the firm and its associates of orchestrating protests outside courts and politicizing ordinary legal cases in order to attract international attention.
Zhou Shifeng, the firm’s director, was among those whose families were notified by police in the northern city of Tianjin on Tuesday of their Jan. 8 arrest, his colleague Liu Xiaoyuan said.

  China arrests most prominent woman rights lawyer for subversion | Reuters
  ▻http://www.reuters.com/article/us-china-rights-idUSKCN0UR1I720160113
  Chinese authorities have formally arrested China’s most prominent woman human rights lawyer, accusing her of subverting the state, her lawyer said on Wednesday, as part of a crackdown on activists who have helped people fight for their legal rights.
  The lawyer, Wang Yu, was taken into custody last July and accused the next month of inciting subversion and “causing a disturbance”.
  On Wednesday, Wang’s mother received a notice, dated Monday, from police in the northern city of Tianjin, said Wang’s lawyer, Li Yuhan. Tianjin police declined to comment when reached by telephone.
  Wang is the best-known human rights lawyer targeted in an unprecedented nationwide sweep by Chinese police last July, during which hundreds of lawyers were detained. A formal arrest usually leads to a trial and conviction by China’s party-controlled courts.
  China has formally arrested at least five Chinese human rights lawyers on suspicion of “inciting subversion of state power” and subverting state power after months of secret detention, one of their colleagues said on Tuesday.
  In China, subversion charges are commonly leveled against critics of one-party rule. Subversion of state power carries a possible life sentence.
  “Wang Yu has provided her legal services to people on the lowest rungs of society. I never thought that she would be charged with subversion of state power,” Li said. “I just don’t understand this.”
  Li said she had not met Wang since her client’s detention. According to Li, police denied her requests to meet Wang seven times in the past six months on the grounds that Wang’s case “endangered state security”.
  Wang has defended Wu Gan, an online free speech advocate, Li Tingting, a prominent rights activist, and Cao Shunli, an activist who died in detention after being denied medical treatment.

A fantasy musical set to poetry by Dubai’s ruler seeks to explain the secret of one of the Arab world’s most compelling success stories, promoting a style of government that creates wealth and ensures stability while avoiding political strife.
This is a homage to Dubai’s transformation from desert backwater to a global financial hub, for which Emiratis still express gratitude to their ruling families, crediting them with putting an end to the harsh existence of their forebears.
“The play is a message of peace from Dubai to the world and reflects noble Arab values and tolerant Islamic culture,” Mona al Marri, director of Dubai’s media centre, said on state media.

Palestinian shot dead in Nablus after alleged attempted attack
Dec. 17, 2015 11:16 A.M. (Updated: Dec. 17, 2015 3:43 P.M.)
▻http://www.maannews.com/Content.aspx?id=769379

BETHLEHEM (Ma’an) — Israeli forces shot and killed a Palestinian teen near the Huwwara military checkpoint in the northern occupied West Bank district of Nablus on Thursday, locals and Israel’s army said.
An Israeli army spokesperson told Ma’an that “during routine security activity” at the checkpoint Israeli forces approached a suspect for questioning, when the suspect “charged the forces while armed with a knife.”
The forces “responded to the immediate threat” and shot the teen, killing him, the spokesperson said.
Palestinian ambulance driver Kamal Badran identified the Palestinian as 15-year-old Abdullah Hussein Nasasra , from the Nablus-area village of Beit Furik.
Badran told Ma’an that Israeli soldiers gathered around the teen preventing medical teams from treating him after he fell.

  Palestinian lives matter!
  Vijay Prashad | Date of publication: 27 December, 2015
  ▻http://www.alaraby.co.uk/english/comment/2015/12/28/palestinian-lives-matter
  On December 17, Naseer was driving from Nablus to Ramallah. Light rain fell as he approached the Israeli military’s checkpoint at Huwwara. In front of him was another car, moving cautiously. About fifty meters before that car was an Israeli military vehicle. Caution is the order of the day in the vicinity of the Israeli military. No sense in provoking their ire. Naseer kept some distance between the cars. They were moving slowly.
  Beside the road, on the grass off the sidewalk, a young boy walked in the same direction of the cars. Naseer observed that the boy seemed to be on the grass to avoid the puddles on the sidewalk.
  The Israeli military vehicle braked. An order must have come from the soldiers. The boy put his hands up. Naseer did not hear them but saw him obey. The car in front of his began to go around the military vehicle. Naseer followed. He saw the boy with his hands up. The next minute, in his rear view mirror, Naseer saw the boy on the ground. All this happened in a split second. One minute the boy was standing with his hands up, and the next minute he was dead on the ground.
  Naseer stopped his car, as did the driver of the car in front of him. The two men exchanged information. They had both witnessed an execution. There was no opportunity to approach the Israeli soldiers, who had already cordoned off the area.
  Not long after, Israeli state media announced that their military had killed Abdullah Hussein Nasasra (age 15) from Beit Furik (near Nablus). The Israeli military said that Nasasra had “charged the forces while armed with a knife.”
  Naseer said that he saw no knife. Nor did he see Nasasra charge the military men. They had guns trained on him. Why would he try to attack them with a knife?
  Over the course of the past few weeks, Israeli military and security forces have used deadly force against a number of children whom they accuse of knife attacks. Israeli political leaders have given carte blanche to their military to kill anyone they see as a threat. Interior Security Minister Gilad Arden said, “Every terrorist should know that he will not survive the attack he is about to commit.” Yair Lapid, former Minister of Finance in the Israeli government, concurred, “You have to shoot to kill anyone who pulls out a knife or a screwdriver.” Since the Israeli military is the Judge, Executioner and Investigator of these incidents, there is no accountability for them.
  When Kamal Badran Qabalan drove his ambulance to the scene, the Israelis blocked him from access to the body. There will be no independent investigation of this death. The miasma of Israeli propaganda – terrorist, knife – has already covered over the facts. Naseer says he is ready to testify against the Israeli military. But how does he do it? There will be no trial. The case will close quietly. Naseer is a distinguished man. His eyes are kind and honest. His voice is defiant as he tells me the story – “I saw them kill a boy,” he says. But what can Naseer do? His body language bespeaks the Occupation. There is futility here beside the defiance.

#Pakistan suspends #EU migrant readmission agreement over ’misuse’ -
Le Pakistan suspend son #accord de réadmission de migrants avec l’UE pour cause de « détournement »
Pakistan Friday announced it had suspended its agreement on the readmission of illegal immigrants with European Union countries, except Britain, because of its “blatant misuse”, state media reported.
The 2010 agreement aimed to facilitate the return of Pakistani illegal immigrants and other nationals who had transited through Pakistan before arriving in the EU.
Interior Minister Chaudhry Nisar Ali Khan said European countries were misusing the agreement.
“Pakistanis travelling illegally to any Western country are to be deported after proper verification” of their nationality and other relevant details from Pakistan, state-run Radio Pakistan quoted Khan as telling local media in Islamabad.
But, he said, “most of the (Western) countries are deporting people without verification by Pakistani authorities”.
Khan said 90,000 people were sent back to Pakistan from various countries last year alone.
“Another dangerous trend has emerged for the last several months under which Pakistanis travelling abroad without documents are deported on charges of terrorism without verification whether or not they are actually Pakistanis,” he said.
The minister did not say when the agreement was suspended or name any country which had recently deported Pakistanis on charges of terrorism.
European Union delegation officials contacted in Islamabad expressed ignorance of the move.
“We are not aware of any such development,” an EU official told AFP on condition of anonymity.
The announcement came two days after Greek police arrested 12 members of a gang including nine Pakistanis that forged documents for migrants trying to reach central Europe.
Around 630,000 people have illegally entered the European Union this year, more than half of them landing in Greece, and the bloc has struggled to formulate a strategy to deal with the crisis.
Analysts said Islamabad’s move would only create more problems for Pakistanis staying illegally in EU countries.
“The statement is uncalled for as it will add to the miseries of Pakistanis who illegally enter European countries,” political analyst Hasan Askari told AFP.
He said asking EU countries for verification of nationality and other details of illegal entrants would mean they would be held in jail until Pakistani authorities completed the verification process.

Ukrainian Journalist Concerned About Direction of Country’s Media
▻http://www.voanews.com/content/ukrainian-journalist-warns-country-media-could-follow-in-russia-footsteps/3051220.html
Maxim Eristavi is an openly gay Ukrainian journalist who worked for Russian state media, and has been covering Ukraine for news outlets since day one of the Euromaidan uprising in 2014. Now he warns that Ukraine’s media are on a slippery slope as they drop inconvenient facts to protect the country’s image – something he says he has witnessed before, in Russia.
Eristavi is in a unique position to reflect on media in Ukraine and Russia. In 2012-2013 he worked for “The Voice of Russia,” a now defunct Russian international radio station. In 2014 in Ukraine he co-founded “Hromadske International” an English-language media platform priding itself in impartiality. Eristavi also contributed to the likes of CNN and BBC, while international outlets such as Mashable, Bild and The New York Times call his tweets an essential source on Ukraine.
In an interview with VOA, Eristavi said he is witnessing a disturbing trend.
“In Ukraine, the state is not in control of the media messages, but there’s a growing and developing paranoia in the media. Journalists pick and choose topics they want to cover and distance from topics they are not comfortable with because they think that those can be used by Russia to diminish the image of Ukraine or to hurt the country in the ongoing Russian-Ukrainian war," he said.
He saw a similar pattern in Russia.

Russia regional vote: Polls set to open for key test - BBC News
▻http://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-34236876
Voters across Russia are set to vote in regional elections on Sunday that are seen as a gauge of public opinion ahead of parliamentary polls next year.
About 59 million people - nearly half the population - are eligible to vote for governors and regional parliaments.
But the main opposition Democratic Coalition has only been allowed to stand in one region, Kostroma.
[…]
The Democratic Coalition’s campaign has not been easy - with minimal coverage on the state media and accusations that they are working for the US, reports the BBC’s Sarah Rainsford in Russia.
Coalition candidates were barred from participating in legislative contests in the Kaluga, Magadan, and Novosibirsk regions.
The opposition say this was because of technicalities cited by officials in a politically motivated bid to prevent them from standing.

Social Media: The weapon of choice in the Gaza-Israel Conflict
▻http://www.middleeasteye.net/news/social-media-weapon-choice-gaza-israel-conflict-1807202428
As the war progressed, it was an online battle of narratives - between heavily funded Israeli state media outlets, represented by Israeli spokespersons of the Israeli government and the army with decades of experience - versus Palestinian citizen journalists who only had their own laptops, smartphones and cameras. (...)
“Most of the Western corporations and outlets are biased in favour of Israel, so they totally mislead people by fabricating news, showing Palestinians’ destroyed homes as Israeli ones. This attitude sparked uproar and disgust toward those news channels - namely Fox News. Alternatively, Palestinian activists firmly focus in revealing the reality through social media tools,” said Maram Humaid, social media activist.
