Love, peace and respect to all my friends here at THIS IS NOT MY COUNTRY.
Have fun celebrating the coming of a new year and see you all in 2007.

See you later on today at DD live ?
For a bit of post-Christmas natter and nonsense.
And the last chat before 2007.
Hooray.
This year was not a good one in so many ways. Nothing tragic or anything, just a general “I’ll be glad when it’s over” feeling. I am hoping the coming year will bring change (already [...]
My Christmas holidays start today… so here’s wishing you all a very happy, loving and peaceful festive break. Thank you to all my friends here on my blog for making this venture something worthwhile. To all of you, best wishes for the rest of the year and high hopes for 2007. I will be spending [...]

As I have moved my human rights blog to my own server and this one has been sitting here, I decided to try and make it work for me. So I am taking it in a new direction. I will still be posting on issues I care about but will attempt to look at them [...]
The recent case of a British woman who made a deal to buy a baby from a young Romanian girl and then just took it without paying, has caused a flurry of reporting about illegal adoptions here in Greece. There are many problems that arise when dealing with cases of adoption here because

Today is International Migrants Day. Many people become confused when talking about migrants, refugees and asylum seekers especially since those terms have become entangled with the word “illegal”. So I thought today would be a good day for people to really look at the meaning of those labels and the rights that each of those [...]
I will not be blogging for couple of days but I will write up and post on my recent visit to the Votanikos and Aspropyrgos Roma settlements as soon as I can.
Have a very happy weekend.
My usual Thursday night chat will be on tonight at the usual time. See the top of the page under DD live for details if you are a first-time visitor. I have found it incredibly inspiring to be able to “meet” readers of this blog over there and just to have a laugh or discuss [...]
It is often the way that once a famous person gets behind a campaign, things start moving rather more quickly than before. I have no problem with that if change can happen because of it and I am happy that they are putting their considerable weight behind human rights concerns. I just think that [...]
