 Hello and welcome to the International Daily Roundup by People's Dispatch, where we bring you major news developments from across the world, our headlines. Turkey passes controversial law to regulate the internet, activists fear censorship. Chilean trade unions prepare for a nationwide protest against President Sebastian Pinyera. More slum dwellings demolished without warrant in South Africa's Durban. Colombia's social movements condemn political murders document more than 1,000 deaths since the Priests Treaty. On Wednesday, the Turkish parliament passed a controversial amendment to its internet laws, raising concerns of censorship and harassment. The law, supported by the ruling Justice and Development Party of the AKP and its allies, will make it compulsory for social media sites to appoint legal representatives in the country and enforce all court orders. The law will be effective from October 1. According to the new law, any social media platform based abroad, which is at least a million users, must assign at least one representative in Turkey, preferably a Turkish citizen. The contents of the social media sites, such as Facebook, TikTok and others, can be scrutinized by the courts and failures to implement their orders would invite hefty penalties. These penalties can range from large fines to advertising bans to ban with restrictions. The government led by Rajab Tayyip Erdogan has argued that its attempt to ensure data localization fights cybercrimes and ensure that citizens' rights to be forgotten can be maintained. However, privacy and digital rights activists have refuted the government's claims, pointing out that the law makes no such mention of provisions like that. In our next story, the Chilean Trade Union Confederation, the United Center of Workers to the CUT, has called for national protests for tomorrow against the right-wing government of President Sebastian Pinyera. The CUT called on citizens and workers to hang black flags outside their homes and bang utensils at 9 p.m. for an hour and a half after Pinyera's annual public address, the Cua Suenta Pueblica. The president announces the government's social and legislative agenda for the year in this national address. The CUT has condemned the government's neoliberal policies and mishandling of the COVID-19 pandemic. They have pointed to the lack of food aid to vulnerable citizens, arguing that it has only further deepened the glaring inequalities in the country. The trade union has demanded progressive taxes to raise resources to combat the pandemic and the crisis that it has entailed as a first step to overcome the country's inequalities. They have also demanded more effective counter-pandemic measures while guaranteeing economic recovery and securing the jobs and incomes of workers. The union also called for better preventive measures to conduct the much-awaited constitutional plebiscite that is scheduled for October 25. We now go to South Africa where on Tuesday, 13 slum dwellings in the Akinana occupation in Keto Minor, Durban were demolished in a violent eviction. This eviction was carried out by South Africa's Metropolis, the Antiland Invasion Unit and the notorious private security company Calvin and Family Security. Without a court order, these violent evictions were carried out at the orders of the Ithakwini or Durban municipality. The city administration has throughout the pandemic induced lockdown, ordered multiple demolitions of informal settlements, leaving hundreds homeless. Authorities have also seized materials used to build these slums, mostly corrugated metal sheets in Tarpolin, to prevent the shack dwellers from rebuilding again. It is also alleged that their cell phones and money were stolen. Two shack dwellers who sustained injury in the course of the violent eviction were hospitalized. The organization of Bhalali Baseh Majandolo, which works with shack dwellers, alleged violence on the community leader of the occupation and also a disabled teenager. Since the formation of the large sporting occupation by homeless workers in August 2018, the inhabitants have endured many such attacks, rebuilding the shack after each demolition. And finally, earlier this week, Colombian social movements held a press conference to denounce the growing violence against the social movements. The movements had participated and included Indepaz, the Marja Patriotika and the Agrarian Pesant Ethnic and Popular Summit. The movements pointed out that almost 1,000 social activists have been killed since the signing of the peace agreements in 2016 between the government and the AFARC-Garena group. According to a report, meticulously prepared by them between November 2016 and July 2020, 973 social leaders and human rights defenders was assassinated. In addition, during this period, 220 ex-combatants of AFARC, that's the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia, were also killed. The report seeks to draw the attention of the Iwan Bukke government to this alarming reality and demand measures to prevent aggression against them. The organizations also said that they would share this information with the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights and the United Nations Security Council. The killings mainly took place in the western provinces of the country and happened around disputes over land and natural resources, illicit crops, drug trafficking and illegal mining. The heightened presence of drug traffickers in the right-wing militia since the disarmament of AFARC has been an additional factor. That's all we have time for today. We'll be back tomorrow with major news developments from around the world. Until then, keep watching People's Dispatch.
