Den sovjetiske systemkritiker Anatoli Marchenko var en arbejder af ukrainsk oprindelse, der blev menneskerettigheds­forkæmper.
Soviet dissident Anatoli Marchenko was a Ukrainian origin worker-turned-human rights activist.
Som følge heraf tilbragte han 20 år i fængsler og arbejdslejre, hvis grusomme forhold han senere beskrev i sine bøger.
As a result he spent 20 years in prison and labour camps, whose cruel conditions he later described in his books.
En af måderne, hvorpå han belyste menneskerettigheds­problemerne i det daværende Sovjetunionen, var gennem sultestrejker.
One way in which he highlighted human rights problems in the then Soviet Union was through hunger strikes.
Sultestrejken i 1986 blev skæbnesvanger.
The one in 1986 proved fateful.
I fængslet nægtede han at indtage føde i tre måneder, mens han opfordrede til løsladelse af politiske fanger i USSR.

Siden har Suu Kyi tilbragt over 13 år i husarrest.
Since then Suu Kyi has spent more than 13 years under house arrest.
Tænk: Hun kunne ikke rejse, ikke kommunikere med verden udenfor og var adskilt fra sine børn og sin mand, der døde i England, mens hun stadig sad i husarrest i Burma.
Imagine: no travelling, no communication with the outside world and separation from her children and estrangement from her husband, who died in England while she was still in Burma.
Europa-Parlamentet belønnede hende i 1990 for hendes mod og engagement i værdierne demokrati og fred.
The European Parliament awarded her courage and commitment to the values of democracy and peace in 1990.

Grusomme forhold i fængslet var også daglig kost for vinderen i 1996, den kinesiske systemkritiker Wei Jingsheng.
Cruel conditions in prison were also day-to-day experiences for the 1996 winner Chinese dissident Wei Jingsheng.
Selv om han oprindelig støttede den maoistiske kulturrevolution, blev han senere desillusioneret og begyndte i stedet at gå ind for demokrati og menneskerettigheder.
Although initially a supporter of the Maoist Cultural Revolution, he later became disillusioned and turned to support of democracy and human rights.
I 1978 opslog han en vægavis på Pekings "demokratimur", hvor han krævede demokrati i Kina.

After this and other activities he was accused of plotting to overthrow the government and sent to prison for 15 years.
Han havde kun været fri i to år efter sin løsladelse i 1993, da han atter blev sendt bag tremmer, fordi han fortsatte sin kritik af det manglende demokrati.
He enjoyed freedom for only for two years after his release in 1993 because he continued to criticize the lack of democracy and ended up behind bars again.

Denne cubanske aktivist har ikke samlet en oprørshær for at bekæmpe Fidel Castros regime.
This Cuban activist hasn't created an army of rebels to fight Fidel Castro's regime.
I stedet bliver han ved med at presse på for at reformere systemet ad lovens vej.
Instead he keeps pushing to reform the system legally.
Gennem 1990'erne prøvede han to gange at stille op til det cubanske parlament.
Throughout the 1990s he twice tried to run as a candidate to the Cuban parliament.
Trods den negative reaktion fra regeringen var han med til at grundlægge Varela-projektet, som havde til formål at sikre ytringsfrihed, frie pluralistiske valg og løsladelse af alle politiske fanger.

Parlamentet og Rådet når til enighed om budgettet for 2009
2009 budget agreed - with farm aid for developing world
I henhold til budgetforslaget for 2009 vil EU indgå finansielle forpligtelser for 133,7 milliarder euro og faktiske betalinger for 116,1.
It came after 9 hours of negotiations between MEPs on the Budgets Committee and European governments last Friday, 21 November.
Betalingerne på 116.096 millioner euro for 2009 udgør 0,894 % af EU's bruttonationalindkomst, hvilket er en beskeden stigning i forhold til budgettet for 2008.
The farm aid was proposed by the European Commission last July in response to spiralling prices for agricultural products in the developing world.
Alt i alt vil nettoforøgelsen af betalinger over budgettet beløbe sig til cirka 1 milliard euro.
The budget for next year amounts to €116.1 billion in payments or 0.894% of the Union's Gross National Income.
Parlamentet og Rådet indgik også en aftale om at afsætte 1 milliard euro til hjælp til udviklingslandene i forbindelse med de høje fødevarepriser.
It covers things such as farm subsidies, rural development money and funding for scientific research.
Beløbet udbetales over en treårig periode (2008-2010).
In the negotiations MEPs successfully pressed the Commission to carry over an amount of up to €700 million of unspent rural development funding from 2008 to 2009.
Dette tiltag understreger EU's vilje til at støtte landbruget i udviklingslandene, understreger Parlamentets delegationsmedlemmer.
The food aid - or "food facility" in Commission jargon - is expected to cover the period 2008-2010.

Tidligere astronaut og nuværende MEP om europæisk rumpolitik
Former astronaut MEP backs Europe's stellar ambitions
Umberto Guidoni Alarmtjenester, navigationssystemer, direkte sportstransmissioner, nyhedsudsendelser, vejrudsigter og finansielle transaktioner: europæernes hverdag afhænger i stigende grad af rumteknologi.
Guidoni: "We cannot know what will be of the earth 200 years from now" Former astronaut turned MEP Umberto Guidoni of the leftist GUE/NGL group believes that the European Union should have a major role in space exploration.
Vi talte med den nuværende MEP´er og tidligere astronaut Umberto Guidoni i anledning af 10-årsdagen for oprettelsen af Den Internationale Rumstation (ISS).
We spoke to him just as MEPs adopted a resolution urging a new specific budget line for the European Space Policy and more investments in space-related science and technology.
Kineserne er på vej til Månen og amerikanerne er i gang med at erobre Mars.
This year marks the 10th anniversary of the International Space Station and 30 years after the first European flew into orbit.
Hvad er der tilbage for europæerne?
The Chinese are going to the Moon, Americans are conquering Mars, what is there left for the Europeans?
For et par måneder siden lancerede vi et europæisk laboratorium med navnet "Columbus", som blev en stor succes.
Just a few months ago we launched a European laboratory called 'Columbus' that was a big success.
Et par måneder senere lancerede vi det første automatiske fragtskib til rumstationen opkaldt efter Jules Verne.
A few months later we launched the first automatic cargo ship for the station, an ATV (automatic transfer vehicle), named after Jules Verne.
Indtil nu har vi primært været gæster i enten de amerikanske eller russiske rum- programmer.
So far we have basically been guests either in the US or the Russian space program.
Men i en tid hvor andre aktører som Indien og Kina dukker op, er det ekstra mere vigtigt, at europæerne udvikler en uafhængig adgang til rummet.
But since other players are coming up such as India and China it is becoming ever more important that Europeans can have an independent access to space.
Vi er nødt til at investere mere i rumteknologi og forskning, hvis vi skal konkurrere med de andre internationale aktører.
We have to invest more into space research and technology in order to have an industry capable of competing with other international players.
Den 14. november blev Den Tjekkiske Republik som det første af de nye EU-lande medlem af Den Europæiske Rumorganisation.
On 14 November the Czech Republic became the 18th member of the European Space Agency, the first of the new EU Members to do so.
Hvordan kan de nye EU-medlemslande bidrage til ESP?
How can new members contribute to the ESP?
Jeg er især glad for, at Den Tjekkiske Republik deltager i ESA, da landet har en lang tradition og viden indenfor rumfart.
I am particularly glad that the Czech Republic is participating in the ESA, because it has a tradition and knowledge in aerospace.
Jeg mener også, at flere af at de andre nye medlemslande bør være en del af ESA.
I think that other countries that recently joined the EU should also be part of it.
Rumpolitikken skal være international!
The space business has to be international.
Hvilken betydning har europæisk rumpolitik i borgernes daglige liv?
What can the ESP do for European citizens in their real lives?
Hvordan kan Europa-Parlamentet argumentere for flere midler til europæisk rumforskning?
How can the EP justify seeking extra EU expenditure for that purpose?
Brændselsceller er blot ét eksempel, der illustrere betydningen af rumforskning - de har en betydning, når vi taler om miljøbeskyttelse og produktion af nye biler, der ikke benytter fossile brændstoffer.
Fuel cells are just one example to show the importance of space research as we are talking about environment protection and manufacturing new cars not using fossil fuels.
Brændselsceller blev opfundet i 60'erne i forbindelse med Apollo-programmet.
Fuels cells were invented in the 60s just for the Apollo program.
De repræsenterede en meget kompakt måde at producere elektricitet på ved hjælp af brint og en særlig kemisk reaktion.
They represented a very compact way of producing electricity using hydrogen and a special chemical reaction.
Denne teknologi er dog stadig alt for dyr.
This technology still costs way too much to be commercialized.
Hvad med "rum-turisme"?
Would you run a space travel agency?
Jeg mener, at rumturisme er en god idé.
I think space tourism is a good idea.
Folk er fascineret af idéen.
People want to go to space because they are fascinated with the idea; the view is breath-taking, etc.
Det er også noget, der kan få folk til at indse, hvor skrøbelig Jorden er.
It is also useful in terms of realizing how fragile the Earth is, seen from the space.
En rejse i rummet kan gøre folk mere interesserede i miljøspørgsmål.
A space trip may make people better and more interested in environmental issues.
Der er dog nogle tekniske begrænsninger.
There are some technical constraints though; even if you are ready to pay 200 thousand Euros to go into space, you may not want to spend one year training for the trip.
Selv om du måske er villig til at betale 200.000 euro for en rumrejse, er du muligvis ikke parat til at bruge et år med masse af træningstimer forud for rejsen.
It will take probably five years to have the first commercial agency open.
Har du været på din sidste rummission?
When is your next mission in orbit?
Jeg var med på to flyvninger, men nu er rumfærgens tid ved at være forbi, og det samme er vores tid.
I made two flights in ten years; but now the Shuttle is at the end of its time and our time is over as well.
I 2010 vil rumfærgen skrottes for bestandigt, og de er nu ved at bygge en ny rumfærge, som vil have nye astronauter med.
By 2010 the Shuttle will be grounded for ever, and now they are building a new vehicle, which will have new astronauts.
Så jeg besluttede at vende tilbage til Europa og finde nye udfordringer på den politiske arena.
So I decided to come back to Europe and find new challenges in the political arena.

e-demokrati i Parlamentet
"e-Parliament" discusses connection with voters
The World e-Parliament Conference 2008 Den 25. og 26. november var Europa-Parlamentet vært for "World e-Parliament Conference 2008", der samlede omkring 400 parlamentarikere, embedsmænd og eksperter fra knap 80 lande.
Online debates and greater access to documents are themes of the e-Parliament The role that the internet can play in parliamentary democracy was explored this week when 400 people gathered in Brussels for the annual "e-Parliament conference".
"e-demokrati" eller "e-parlament" henviser til nye teknologiske muligheder for bredere demokratisk deltagelse. e-demokrati har til formål at få folk involveret i politik via deres computere.
In practical terms, the "e-Parliament" concept aims to get people involved in politics using their computers.
Det handler blandt andet om bedre elektronisk adgang til politiske dokumenter, online debatfora samt direkte udsendelser fra parlamentariske debatter og udvalgsmøder.
It involves things like electronic access to documents, online discussion forums and the live broadcast of parliamentary debates online.
Internettet forventes også at komme til at spille en vigtig rolle i forbindelse med de kommende valg til Europa-Parlamentet.
German Socialist MEP Mechtild Rothe told the conference that every parliament around the world needs to think about new technologies to "empower citizens, achieve transparency and think about participation in a new way".
Den rumænske MEP Silvia-Adriana Țicǎu (PSE) mente, at tiden nu var inde til at inddrage e-demokrati aktivt i det parlamentariske arbejde.
She also said it could allow younger people to feel they had a greater say in how decisions were taken.
Europa-Parlamentet har allerede lanceret en række tiltag som f.eks. EuroparlTv (Parlamentets nye Tv-station) og EP-Livestream (direkte online-udsendelser fra parlamentssalen), der skal bidrage til at gøre Parlamentets arbejde mere levende og nærværende for den brede befolkning.
She stressed that with the European elections 7 months away now was the right time to be thinking about these issues and said the "budgetary and human resources must be ensured".
Anders B. Johnsson (Generalsekretær for Den Interparlamentariske Union) forklarede, at e-demokrati bidrager til at bekæmpe korruption og "flertallets tyranni", fordi det åbner for eksternt indblik og offentlig debat.
The recent launch of EuroparlTV and the ability to watch debates and meetings live online on the parliament's website have been steps in this direction.
e-demokrati i udviklingslandene
The possible misuse of technology was taken up by the Speaker of Egypt's Parliament Ahmed Fathi Sorour in his remarks to delegates.
Den digitale kløft mellem de vestlige lande og den tredje verden er enorm.
Anders Johnsson, the Secretary General of the Interparliamentary Union, said that new technologies could help with fighting corruption and overcoming public apathy.
Formanden for Det Pan-afrikanske Parlament, Gertrude Mongella, var også en varm fortaler for øget brug af e-demokrati, men hun påpegede, at de fleste afrikanske parlamenter hverken har de nødvendige økonomiske midler eller den fornødne teknologiske ekspertise til at implementere e-demokrati i deres lande.
Finally, the head of the Pan-African Parliament Gertrude Mongella told those gathered that African parliaments "lack the financial means and expertise" to introduce it.
Mongella fortalte, at manglende dialog og gennemsigtighed i de politiske processer er en af de vigtigste årsager til uro og konflikt i Afrika. "e-demokrati er også et spørgsmål om at bygge bro mellem de udviklede lande og udviklingslandene", vurderede hun.
She said a general lack of dialogue between people in general society was a key problem for Africa.
