    Canada bans Chinese reporters over spy concerns

    [Tens de ter uma conta e sessão iniciada para poderes visualizar esta imagem]By JOSEPH FITSANAKIS | intelNews.org
    The office of the prime minister of Canada has banned reporters working for China’s state-owned media from covering the Canadian leader’s official trip to the Arctic, due to concerns that they may be spies. For the past several summers, Canada’s Prime Minister Stephen Harper has undertaken official tours of the Canadian Arctic, in an effort to promote the country’s northern economy and attend military exercises. However, in a move that has raised eyebrows in Ottawa and Beijing, the organizers of the trip have issued a ban on a number of Chinese reporters from joining the Canadian prime minister’s entourage. The Winnipeg Sun reported on Wednesday that the unprecedented step was taken over concerns that the Chinese journalists in question may in fact be intelligence operatives in the service of China. The paper cited a quote by a spokesman from the office of the prime minister, who reportedly told the Québecor Média International news agency that “certain news outlets are no longer welcome” to travel with the prime minister. It appears that the reporters in question include primarily those working for The People’s Daily newspaper and the Xinhua news agency, both of which are owned by the government of China. Two Chinese journalists working for these outlets, Li Xue Jiang, and Zhang Dacheng, caused controversy during Harper’s trip to the Arctic in 2013. The two appeared to show more interest in photographing their fellow journalists and the interior of Canada’s prime ministerial airplane than covering Harper’s trip. Li even wrote an article for the Chinese-language edition of The People’s Daily at the time, in which he mentioned that he had come under suspicion of spying for China, saying that a secretary from the office of the Canadian prime minister had tasked an officer of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police to keep an eye on him. IntelNews readers will recall that in 2012 Canadian reporter Mark Bourrie resigned his post as parliamentary correspondent for Xinhua, accusing the Chinese news agency of running spy operations in Canada. Read more of this post

    Australia, Indonesia to end rift by signing joint spy agreement

    [Tens de ter uma conta e sessão iniciada para poderes visualizar esta imagem]By IAN ALLEN | intelNews.org
    Australia and Indonesia are to end months of diplomatic friction by signing a joint agreement aimed at curbing their intelligence activities against each other.IntelNews readers will recall that Indonesia withdrew its ambassador from Canberra and terminated all military and intelligence cooperation with Australia late last year, after it emerged that Australian spies had targeted the communications of Indonesian President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono and other senior Indonesian officials, while they were attending the 2009 G20 conference in London. Relations between the two countries worsened considerably in February of this year, when documents leaked by American defector Edward Snowden revealed that Australian intelligence spied on American law firm representing the government of Indonesia in a trade dispute with Washington. The documents, from February 2003, showed that the Australian Signals Directorate (ASD) purposely targeted the law firm because it represented the commercial interests of the Indonesian state. To make things worse, the leaked information showed that the ASD, which is responsible for signals intelligence and information security, offered to share the intelligence collected from the operation with its American counterpart, the National Security Agency. Following the revelation, the Australian and Indonesian governments were reportedly not on talking terms. But it has now emerged that Australia and Indonesia are to sign a mutually binding agreement titled “Joint Understanding of a Code of Conduct”, which, among other things, will prohibit Australia from using its intelligence agencies to harm Indonesian national interests. Australian Minister of Foreign Affairs Julie Bishop told Australia’s ABC network that the agreement would “make it quite clear” that “Australia would not use its [...] intelligence resources to the detriment of [...] Indonesia”. Read more of this post

    Pena de morte: proposta de restabelecimento em 1937

    [Tens de ter uma conta e sessão iniciada para poderes visualizar esta imagem]

    «Em 1937, o Deputado José Cabral [José Pereira dos Santos Cabral] apresentou o projeto de lei n.º 191, que estabelecia a pena de morte para crimes contra a segurança do Estado, alterando o n.º 11 do artigo da Constituição Política da República Portuguesa. Até 1976, o Código de Justiça Militar manteve a pena de morte. Atualmente, segundo o artigo 24.º, n.º 2 da Constituição da República Portuguesa, “em caso algum haverá pena de morte”.» [fonte: newsletter da Assembleia da República, aqui; ver mais aqui].

    +

    «[...] José Pereira dos Santos Cabral [1885-1950], nasceu [16 de Setembro] em Travanca de Tavares (Mangualde). Formado em Direito por Coimbra [entra em 1906-07], foi advogado em Fornos de Algodres, director-geral dos Serviços Prisionais (1929), presidente da direcção da Associação do Patronato das Prisões, director geral dos Serviços Jurisdicionais de Menores, director dos Serviços de Acção Social e Política da Legião Portuguesa (medalha de oiro, por dedicação), administrador das Companhias Reunidas de Gás e Electricidade, da Companhia das Águas de Lisboa e presidente da assembleia-geral da Companhia de Seguros "Europeia". 
    Monárquico [aparece como candidato eleito nas listas monárquicas, pelo círculo nº 18 de Gouveia nas eleições de 28 de Abril de 1918 e participa narevolta monárquica de 1919, tendo de exilar-se em Espanha] e católico, pertenceu ao grupo fascista formado em torno da revista Ordem Nova, à Liga Nacional do 28 de Maio e foi militante nacional-sindicalista [integrou e chefiou o grupo de Coimbra, fazendo parte do directório do Grande Conselho Nacional Sindicalista]. Mais tarde aderiu ao Salazarismo e à União Nacional [participa, mesmo, no I Congresso na União Nacional] rompendo (Março de 1934) com chefia dos “camisas azuis” de Rolão Preto e Alberto de Monsaraz[a cisão no movimento nacional-sindicalista e o “trânsito” para o Estado Novo foi acompanhada por outros, como Pedro Teotónio Pereira, Manuel Múrias,João Costa Leite (Lumbrales), Fernando Pires de Lima, Eusébio Tamagnini, Cabral Moncada, Ramiro Valadão, Supico Pinto, Dutra Faria,Luís Forjaz Trigueiros, Amaral Pyrrait, Castro Fernandes].
    Curiosamente a proposta de dissolução do Movimento Nacional-Sindicalista(e a aceitação da liderança por Salazar) partiu do próprio José Cabral, na reunião do directório de Agosto de 1934» [fonte, aqui]

    [Tens de ter uma conta e sessão iniciada para poderes visualizar esta imagem]
    DEVE O HOMICIDA DO CÔNJUGE SER DECLARADO,NA SENTENÇA CONDENATÓRIA, INDIGNO QUANTO À SUCESSÃO


    PROJECTO DE LEI n.º 632/XII DO PS

    Projeto de Lei 632/XII

    Pretende que Tribunal, na sentença condenatória por homicídio de cônjuge no caso de violência doméstica, possa declarar a indignidade do condenado, impedindo-o, desse modo, de ser herdeiro da ofendida.
    Segundo esta proposta, pretende-se "melhorar as condições da declaração de indignidade sucessória contra os condenados pelo crime de homicídio por violência doméstica"

    A indignidade sucessória existe no Código Civil, mas para que seja declarada - em sentença civil - exige que a acção seja interposta pelos herdeiros legítimos da vítima.

    POSIÇÃO DA UMAR - União de Mulheres Alternativa e Resposta - concorda com a proposta, tendo identificado um caso em que, sendo o cônjuge o único herdeiro, não havia quem propusesse a acção de indignidade, tendo ele sido o único herdeiro

    PARECER DO CSM - Conselho Superior da Magistratura está a favor desta possibilidade.

    PARECER DA ORDEM DOS ADVOGADOS - A ordem dos advogados discorda, por entender tratar-se de uma decisão inconstitucional, já que a Constituição impede que uma condenação envolva como consequência necessária a perda de quaisquer direitos civis ou políticos.

    Como opção, sugere que a lei seja alterada no sentido de que o Ministério Público passe a ter legitimidade para, em casos de condenação por homicídio doloso, quando não existam interessados que possam propô-la.
