Ukraine’s war is getting worse. Unfortunately, not everyone wants to fight | GlobalPost

Ruslan Kotsaba is someone you’d typically consider a Ukrainian patriot: a journalist in the country’s nationalist-oriented west, he’s participated in pro-democracy protests and regularly rails against official corruption.
So it may seem strange that earlier this month he slammed his country’s war effort against Russian-backed separatists.
“I denounce mobilization [for war],” Kotsaba said in a video posted to YouTube on Jan. 17. “I call on all reasonableadequatepeopleto denounce this mobilization, because this hell, this horror, must be stopped.”
(…)
Local media have reported anti-draft protests and instances of no-shows at local military commissions in several regions.
A presidential adviser even claimed earlier this week that about 37 percent of those called up in one western region, traditionally known for its nationalist convictions, had reportedly fled abroad. In a separate nearby region, almost one in five of those drafted reportedly claimed religious exemptions.
(…)
Ukrainian men aged 25-60 are eligible for conscription. Preference is given to those with military experience and with particular specializations, such as tank training.
But authorities have also sought to crack down on attempts to avoid conscription. On Friday, Poroshenko issued a decree that includes a provision aimed at regulating foreign travel for those subject to mobilization.
The military has also created a database to keep track of offenders, who face two to five years in prison if found guilty of dodging the draft.
(…)
Some Ukrainian rights activists have also taken issue with the legal ambiguity of the conflict, arguing that in absence of a clear state of war, conscripts can legally challenge the draft. Others say mobilization is legally applicable in any instances of “armed aggression,” not only when martial law — or a state of war — is formally declared.

James Foley : quand la presse unanime accusait le régime syrien
En avril 2013, on ne sait pas qui détient James Foley. On trouve quelques reprises de cette information : Parents talk about journalist kidnapped in Syria
▻http://bigstory.ap.org/article/parents-talk-about-journalist-kidnapped-syria
The U.S. does not currently have a formal relationship with Syria and there has been no regular or reliable information about Foley, his parents said. Though they have been in touch with federal officials, they said the most they’ve received are rumors of their son’s whereabouts.
À peine un mois plus tard, début mai 2013, c’est une autre histoire… Sur la base d’une unique source, l’accumulation des articles et des titres donne un effet de certitude imparable (malgré l’usage du conditionnel de précaution, parfois gommé dans les titres).

U.S. journalist missing in Syria for nearly six months is most likely in Syrian government custody, according to the GlobalPost, an online international news outlet, and the man’s brother.
Gunmen kidnapped James Foley on November 22 and his family has since worked to obtain his release. Foley, a free-lance journalist, contributed stories to the GlobalPost.
According to a GlobalPost story on Friday, its CEO and president, Philip Balboni, said in a speech marking World Press Freedom Day that the outlet has a “very high degree of confidence” that Foley was “most likely abducted by a pro-regime militia group and turned over to Syrian government forces.”
“We have obtained multiple independent reports from very credible confidential sources who have both indirect and direct access that confirm our assessment that Jim is now being held by the Syrian government in a prison or detention facility in the Damascus area,” Balboni said.

Foley was kidnapped in Syria in November, 2012, just a stone’s throw from the Turkish border, and has been missing for 162 days.

Ukraine accuses Russia of letting rebels bring in tanks
Ukraine accused Russia on Thursday of allowing separatist rebels to bring three tanks and other military vehicles across the border into the east of the country to fight the Ukrainian army. Evidence that Russia is sending in weapons or assisting the rebels militarily would implicate Moscow in the uprising against Kiev’s pro-Western leaders, making a mockery of its denials that it has played a role in weeks of fighting.

Russia piles pressure on new Ukraine leader
Russia accused Ukraine’s new leader on 12 June of failing to follow through on his vow to end two months of separatist bloodshed and demanded a probe into claims that his forces used banned bombs against civilians. Moscow’s latest diplomatic offensive came a day after the two neighbours failed to make calm a furious row over gas prices that could see both Ukraine and parts of Europe cut off from Russian supplies next week.

Russia wants UN action to stop violence in Ukraine
Russia has introduced a UN Security Council resolution that urges an immediate end to all violence in Ukraine and the launching of a national dialogue involving all political forces and regions. The draft resolution, circulated to council members on 12 June, calls on all parties to immediately implement a “road map” to peace put forward by the OSCE. The draft expresses deep concern at the intensification of hostilities and killing of civilians in eastern Ukraine, where government forces have battled pro-Russian rebels for two months. Russia’s UN Ambassador said this draft supersedes a 2 June draft. Neither reaffirms Ukraine’s sovereignty and territorial integrity, a key Western demand following Russia’s annexation of Ukraine’s Crimean peninsula.

Russia accuses Ukraine of using banned weapons
Russia accused Ukraine on 12 June of using “prohibited weapons” during its attempts to seize back control of the separatist stronghold city of Slavyansk, charges denied by Kiev. The Russian foreign ministry’s human rights ombudsman’s comments came shortly after Moscow state media reported the use of incendiary bombs by Kiev’s forces in the blockaded eastern city. “Ukrainian defence forces and nationalists are using prohibited weapons against Slavyansk civilians, firing on refugees and killing children,” the Russian ombudsman tweeted.

According to families, lawyers and human rights groups, more than 90 minors have been arrested nationwide since the July 3 military takeover that dismissed Muslim Brotherhood leader and former President Mohamed Morsi from power.
Detained as part of a far-reaching clampdown on thousands of rebellious Morsi supporters, many of the teenagers and children face seemingly fabricated charges — like carrying weapons or instigating violence. They have also been denied due process and are being held in adult prisons, rights groups contend.
Most of the nearly 100 minors were arrested following the forced dispersal of two pro-Morsi sit-ins in Cairo Aug. 14, and following a demonstration two days later in the city’s central Ramses Square.
