<span lang="EN-US" style="background: white; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Two years ago,
Norway suffered the worst massacre since World War II. 77 people were murdered,
most of them just because their political ideas as young members of Labour
Party. The unnamable killer is a terrorist inspired by the ideology of racism,
islamophobia and intolerance. Ideas shared by the right wing extremism willing
to destroy Democracy and whip out values of equality, tolerance and diversity. They
clearly intend to end up with the global Human Rights advances.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="background: white; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">The July 22<sup>nd</sup> hatred
motivated terrorist attack was not an isolate tragedy. Other hate crimes have
shocked European society. German neo-Nazi murders scandal linked to
intelligence services, racist crimes in Italy, harassment of Roma people in
central Europe, attacks to Jews and Muslims, desecration of religious places, homophobic
aggressions, attacks on individuals and organizations denying its diversity and
similar attempts of massacres in Paris and Majorca are some examples of this wave of hate and
violence in Europe.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span lang="EN-US" style="background: white; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Europe is not very
used to remembrance however memory is more important than ever in order to
preserve the victim´s dignity. We need more commitment and determination
against racism and related intolerance. Democratic courage is required for a
better struggle against the imminent threat of poisoned extremist ideologies.
Europe assumed values of equality, tolerance and diversity after the tragedy of
Holocaust in order to shout “never again”, these principles are in danger and
that means vulnerability for human beings.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

Victims of Hate Crimes</span><span lang="EN-US"> <span style="background: white;">is part of a comprehensive strategy to defeat
ideologies that promote hatred and violence, and a way to preserve human
dignity, democratic values, and Human Rights. The <b>July 22<sup>nd</sup></b> attack was a turning point for the
struggle against intolerance. The shared sorrow of Utoya and Oslo is a call for
justice emerging from an irreparable loss of human lives. This is why ONGs are proposing
to the European Parliament to set up this European Day for the Victims of Hate
Crimes. Besides we encourage civil society, institutions and citizens to
support this initiative.<o:p></o:p></span></span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; color: #333333; line-height: 150%;">“I burn like a Jew”
was the sixth most popular hashtag phrase among Mexican Twitter users a week
after another anti-Semitic phrase trended in that country. The phrase,
#MeQuemoComoJudío, made it to number six among Mexican users on Jan. 23,
according to Twed.it, a website which measures the popularity of hashtags – a
word, name or phrase preceded by the # symbol which makes Twitter conversations
searchable. Some Tweets contained jokes about gas chambers. One Tweet by a user
identified as Miguel Angel had attached to it a picture of dead Jews at a Nazi
concentration camp juxtaposed with the Milton Bradley Company’s Twister game,
in which participants’ limbs are often entangled on a large board.<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span></span><span style="color: #333333; line-height: 150%;"><br />
<br />
<span style="background-color: white;">“This one is used
more like a slang expression, as in ‘I make a fool of Myself = I burn like a
Jew,’ according to the Coordination Forum for Countering Antisemitism, an
international watchdog. On Jan. 18, the Forum reported that #EsdeJudios, which
translates to ‘it’s Jewish to’, or “just like Jews,” was second among trending
topics in Mexico. There were mocking references in those tweets people to soap,
ashes and gas. A French court on Jan. 24 cited hate speech laws ordering
Twitter to share the details of users who made anti-Semitic statements under
the hashtag #unbonjuif, or ‘a good Jew’. The social network has yet to decide
whether it will comply with the request.</span></span></span><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS","sans-serif"; font-size: 10.0pt; line-height: 150%;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: 13.5pt; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">A centre dedicated to studying the extreme far right
and anti-Muslim attacks has been established by a university.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: 13.5pt; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">The Centre for Fascist, Anti-Fascist and Post-Fascist
Studies, launched by Teesside University, will look at the historical
developments of far-right politics.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: 13.5pt; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Professor Nigel Copsey, along with his colleague, Dr
Matthew Feldman, will open the centre at an event to commemorate National
Holocaust Memorial Day later this month.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: 13.5pt; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Speaking before the launch, Prof Copsey said recent
developments in far-right politics led them to believe there could be more
attacks like the one carried out by Anders Behring Breivik in Norway in 2011.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: 13.5pt; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">"Over the last year there is no evidence for
increased support for the far right. The BNP are fragmented and split and there
is growing disillusionment with the EDL," he said.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: 13.5pt; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">"All these developments mean we argue it could
lead right-wing extremists to think of more extreme actions, like Breivik.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: 13.5pt; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">"I'm not saying this will definitely happen but,
because of the developments in the far right, there's a vacuum and it raises
the potential for more violent actions."<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: 13.5pt; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">The centre will also look at the opposition to
far-right groups and how successful anti-fascist protests are, as well as
far-right anti-Muslim activity.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: 13.5pt; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Dr Feldman said: "An important development in
radical right activism this century is, without doubt, the turn from
anti-Semitism toward anti-Muslim politics.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: 13.5pt; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">"One of the things we will be looking at is a

concert that would be held on Friday supported by ‘España 2000’, right-wing

would be held in Valencia. One of the bands that would play is the Italian ‘Killer
Sorpresa’. They spread neo-Nazi and anti-Semitic hatred in their songs. Just an
example, one of their lyrics expresses that they would kill the Nobel Prize,
Rita Levy-Moltacini, a well-known Sephardic lady. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><em><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 150%;">Civil society activists and officials have
condemned the beating up of three men - two of whom took part in making a video
promoting gay rights in Montenegro</span></em><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 150%;">. </span><span style="line-height: 150%;"><br />
<br /><span style="background-color: white;">Danilo Marunovic,
director of the video, Todor Vujosevic, an actor in it, and their friend, Mirko
Boskovic, a journalist at Montenegro's public broadcaster, RTCG, were attacked
on the night between Sunday and Monday, allegedly by fans of a sports club. The
video was produced in November 2011 as part of a project of two local NGOs, the
Centre for Civic Education, CGO, and LGBT Forum Progress. The video advocated
increased tolerance for the LGBT community in Montenegro, showing two men
kissing each other while watching a football match. One was Vujosevic. </span></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 150%;"><span style="background-color: white;">The
three were reportedly attacked by fans of the Podgorica sports club Buducnost
in the centre of capital and received minor injuries. CGO and the LGBT Forum
Progress condemned the attack, saying that it was clear that the motive for the
act was hatred, and the three men's only crime was contributing to a culture of
tolerance. LGBT Progress filed a criminal complaint against four unnamed fans
for the attack and against one alleged accomplice, whose identity is also
known. Vijesti Television stated that one of its sport journalists, Dijana
Drobnjak, was in the company of the attackers. She has been suspended from her
duties pending an investigation. </span></span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 150%;"><span style="background-color: white;">The NGO Human Rights Action said that the fan
club, called Varvari, should be banned if it was proven that it contributed to
the incident. </span></span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 150%;"><span style="background-color: white;">Officials also condemned the attack. "We strongly condemn
this act of vandalism … and expect the authorities to resolve the case quickly
and efficiently and punish the perpetrators in line with the law,” Jovan
Kojicic, the government's chief advisor on human rights and
anti-discrimination, said.</span></span></span><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS","sans-serif";"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
