Mohammed Morsi is jailed

Hi guys!

A few days ago, I read an article on a website called "BBC online" and it talked about

the former Egyptian president Morsi, who has been jailed for 20 years. I want you to know more about it, so I give you a short press review about the article.

Mohammed Morsi was the first free elected president in Egypt. He was the successor of Hosni Mubarak.

Basically it says, that Morsi has been jailed for 20 years, because he has ordered to arrest and torture protesters during his tenure. He has been president of Egypt for 1 year from June 30^th, 2012 till July 3^rd, 2013.

It has been the first conviction since the end of his tenure. He has been deposed by the military in July 2013. Since then, the authorities have banned his Muslim Brotherhood movement and arrested thousands of his supporters. Morsi and 14 other Brotherhood figures escaped a more serious charge of inciting the killing of protesters, which could have carried the death sentence.

Most of the other defendants were also given 20-year prison sentences. Morsi's legal team have said they will appeal.

In my opinion, is this decision equitable, because every criminal deserves his punishment. There is always a reason, why a human isn't longer president of a country. I'm anyway a fan of democracy, that's why I think a dictatorship shouldn't exist anymore. 

What do you mean?

Hofkirchen and Fair Trade

Hello guys!

A few days ago, I was reading an article in the newspaper called "OÖNachrichten" and it talked about the commune Hofkirchen, which wants to turn into faire-trade-commune. I want you to know more about it, so I give you a short press review about the article.

Hofkirchen is a municipality in the district of Rohrbach in the Austrian state of Upper Austria. It has about 1500 inhabitants.

Basically it says, that the local government has decided to turn into a fair-trade-commune. That means, that they only buy things, which have the fair trade label on their packaging. To persuade the inhabitants of the commune, the mayor organized a breakfast with fair trade products.

The mayor has the idea to put the following events under the motto "Fairtrade". Furthermore he pleased his inhabitants and entrepreneurs to buy fair-trade-products only. I couldn't find a date, which determine the exact moment of the implementation, but I think it would be happen in the following weeks, that the commune gets absolutely a fair-trade-commune.

In my opinion is this a step in the right way. But it does not last only one commune buy fair trade products. We all have to take more care of the people, who don't have as much as we have. If the only way is to help, if we buy fair trade products, we all should do this. I know, that this cannot happen till tomorrow, but step by step everybody can help. If everybody think as the same way as the commune Hofkirchen does, we could make the world a better place.

What do you think about the topic "fair-trade-products"?
