Great to see that even without massive online pressure (like now with #Kony2012) things do happen against crimes committed internationally. Just hope that we don't have to wait another 10 years before there is another success. Also, I think it's a shame that counties like China and America are not joining this communal court (America even made laws that if necessary they will 'free' americans by force when they are being accuses by this court).

Absurd tough punishment by +Cambridge University court against student for protesting against changes in educational policies.

Yesterday a Ph.D. student was given a 7 term suspension by the university's court of discipline for reading out a poem at a peaceful protest against David Willets and his higher education policies. The CUSU believe he has been made a scapegoat, and the punishment is out of proportion with the offence (Cambridge university themselves only requested a 1 term suspension). Please sign this petition from CUSU if you agree the suspension is unjust or just alone way to tough.

After all the commotion in the Cambridge Union last week when Dominique Strauss-Kahn came to the Union to talk about economics it might be nice for people to see the actual talk and see that what he says does make sense. He also responds on questions in the audience in the end including 2 about the rape case.

Coca Cola and Pepsi will change the recipe in California because according to new legislation they would have to put a "cancer warning" on their packaging because of the amount of 4-methylimidazole in the drinks. Though both the companies and FDA claim it is nearly impossible to drink the amount of coke to get in the danger zone.
