Bloguero enfrenta pena de muerte en Vietnam
Dec 10th
A French-educated democracy activist could face the death penalty if convicted at a trial expected in Vietnam late this month, his father said on Thursday.
Nguyen Tien Trung, 25, was arrested in July along with several others, including human rights lawyer Le Cong Dinh, and accused of anti-state activities.
Trung was arrested for “propaganda against the state”, which carries a prison term on conviction. But he is now facing the more serious charge of “subverting the people’s administration”, his father said.
Bloguero ruso en prisión por esparcir rumores sobre Influenza
Dec 4th
Ivan Peregorodiev, a 22-year-old medical student and blogger, has been arrested on December 3 for spreading rumors about pneumonic plague in the city of Saratov. Authorities accused him of disseminating false information related to an act of terrorism.
On December 2, the Russian bloggers actively discussed allegations that a large population of Saratov had been infected with H1N1 virus. The rumors said that authorities concealed many fatalities caused by the swine flu and the whole city was about to be closed for quarantine. Later, people started talking about alleged cases of pneumonic plague blaming them on a local “anti-plague” research institute. The situation became so serious that Saratov Governor Pavel Ipatov interrupted his visit to Belarus and returned to the city to deal with public outcry.
Bloguero podría pasar 10 años en prisión
Dec 4th
NEW YORK – A New Jersey blogger crossed the line protecting free speech by writing that three federal judges in Chicago “must die” for a decision supporting gun control, a prosecutor said Friday, as the defense countered in closing arguments that giving a passionate opinion is not a crime.
“There is no right to threaten violence against people,” said Assistant U.S. Attorney William Ridgway. The judges, he added, “received that threat just by virtue of doing their jobs.”
Carece México de regulación para sancionar delitos cibernéticos
Nov 29th
En Coahuila como en todo el país, se carece de una legislación que pueda sancionar en forma específica a los delitos cibernéticos, y el mal uso del Internet; sin embargo, se ha comenzado a castigar aquellos ilícitos que se desprendan del uso de esta herramienta digital, con penas aplicadas basadas en las leyes vigentes.
A nivel federal y en la entidad, existen instituciones que se encargan de atender los ciberdelitos, como lo es la Policía Cibernética, un área dependiente de la Fiscalía General en el caso del Estado, y una dependencia de la Policía Federal Preventiva (PFP) en el ámbito nacional, las que se encargan de darle seguimiento a aquellos casos en que el ciudadano ha sido víctima de algún delito o fraude.
Bloguero brasileño deberá pagar multa por comentario de un troll
Nov 27th
En Brasil, siempre pasa algo malo cuando la justicia ordinaria mete sus narices en temas que no le son familiares, como la tecnología. Hace un tiempo, un magistrado determinó que no se podía jugar más Counter-Strike por un mod que simulaba un enfrentamiento en las favelas. Ahora, se dio otra situación insólita y que atenta contra la vida digital.
Resulta que Emílio Moreno es un bloguero y estudiante de periodismo de Ceará, norte de Brasil. En su bitácora Liberdade Digital, escribió un post en marzo del año pasado sobre una pelea en un colegio católico, entre dos estudiantes. Un troll, aquellos visitantes indeseables, insultó a una monja de la institución, sin dejar ningún nombre ni mail válido.
Los 10 peores países para ser un Bloguero
Apr 30th
New York, April 30, 2009—With a military government that severely restricts Internet access and imprisons people for years for posting critical material, Burma is the worst place in the world to be a blogger, the Committee to Protect Journalists says in a new report. CPJ’s “10 Worst Countries to be a Blogger” also identifies a number of countries in the Middle East and Asia where Internet penetration has blossomed and government repression has grown in response.
“Bloggers are at the vanguard of the information revolution and their numbers are expanding rapidly,” said CPJ Executive Director Joel Simon. “But governments are quickly learning how to turn technology against bloggers by censoring and filtering the Internet, restricting online access and mining personal data. When all else fails, the authorities simply jail a few bloggers to intimidate the rest of the online community into silence or self-censorship.”
