18.01.2007 Le migliaia di ragazzi che diedero vita alle manifestazione di protesta contro la 'ndrangheta conosciuti come "I ragazzi della Locride" nei mesi scorsi sono stati spesso al centro della ribalta mediatica: il movimento giovanile ha finito così per dar fastidio alla criminalità organizzata che nei mesi scorsi varie volte ha distrutto le coltivazioni della cooperativa Goel che lavora su territori confiscati. Ma è oggetto anche di strumentalizzazioni tanto che i ragazzi di Ammazzatecitutti hanno accusato il presidente del Consiglio Regionale Giuseppe Bova di accaparrarsi i meriti presentando alcuni giovani del suo partito come rappresentanti dei "giovani della Locride". Bova ha replicato alle accuse del movimento querelando Aldo Pecora, uno dei suoi esponenti più attivi, e accusando tutto il movimento di essere in realtà formato da pochi estremisti.

17.01.2007 YK:n ihmisoikeusvaltuutettu Louise Arbour pahoitteli Awad Hamad Al-Bandarin ja Barzan Ibrahim Al-Hassanin teloituksia Bagdadissa maanantaina 15. tammikuuta. Miehet tuomittiin Dujailissa vuonna 1982 siviileihin kohdistuneista rikoksista. "Vastustan kuolemanrangaistusta kaikissa olosuhteissa," Arbour sanoo ja lisää, että toimeenpannut tuomiot voivat vaikeuttaa puolueettoman oikeusprosessin toteutumista vastaavissa tapauksissa myös tulevaisuudessa.

Awad al-Bandar (sinistra) e Barzan Ibrahim al-Tikrit - da Rainews24
15.01.2007 Amnesty International condanna l’esecuzione, avvenuta questa mattina, del fratellastro di Saddam Hussein, Barzan Ibrahim al-Tikriti e dell'ex presidente del Tribunale Rivoluzionario, Hamad al-Bandar al-Sad’un, come una "brutale violazione del diritto alla vita e un’ulteriore opportunità persa per gli iracheni di veder rispondere del proprio operato i responsabili dei crimini commessi sotto il regime di Saddam Hussein". Anche il Presidente del Consiglio italiano, Romano Prodi ha ribadito la condanna delle due esecuzioni capitali. E AsiaNews segnala che a seguito anche dell'impiccagione dei due gerarchi del regime di Saddam "si approfondirà la frattura tra sunniti e sciiti”: è questa la convinzione più diffusa tra gli iracheni contattati dall'agenzia.
