If Auguste Rodin is a major artists today, during his lifetime he aroused contempt by going against the aesthetic canons of the time. An early example of his willingness to forge a new path for art is his sculpture “Man with a broken nose”, finished when he was only 25 years and refused at Salon of 1865 because it was not a mythological sculpture. He was also accused of cheating in order to create the sculpture “The Age of Bronze”;  the work was so realistic that it was was suspected to have been created by casting a living model. Finally his sculptures of the great men of the day also unleashed criticism: that of Victor Hugo, that of Clemenceau, and finally that of Balzac, which was will be refused by the Société des gens de lettres. The sculpture was said to look like “a snowman”.

He was accused of “forming a terrorist group in order to commit acts of terrorism, and deliberate attacks on the life and safety of others”, of “threatening national security”, of “incitement to intimidation and violence”, and of “incitement of others to commit terrorist crimes”. Despite having categorically denied all of these accusations, he was sentenced to twenty years in prison by the Criminal Court of Rabat on 23 February 2012. The judge’s reasoning for this sentence was solely based on the transcripts of the preliminary investigation by the Moroccan security services and on statements from Mr Zriouil’s hearing, conducted during his detention, a period in which he was subjected to threats and cruel, inhuman and degrading treatment. Like in most terrorism cases, the prosecution did not produce any proof or material evidence that could justify this conviction.

Cette décision « est un pas décisif franchi par l'organe onusien qui a souvent été accusé de se soucier davantage des droits des détenteurs de la propriété intellectuelle que de ceux des utilisateurs, surtout lorsque ceux-ci vivent dans des pays en développement », a déclaré le porte-parole de Consumers International, la fédération mondiale d'organisations de consommateurs.

IPS, 5 October 2004. Countries of the developing South successfully lobbied the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) to incorporate development goals and consumer rights, to counterbalance the interests of powerful nations and corporations, in a resolution adopted Tuesday. The decision by WIPO 'is a breakthrough move by the UN body, which has been often accused of caring more for the rights of intellectual property owners than of users, especially those in developing countries', said Consumers International, the worldwide federation of consumer organisations.

C’est du moins ce qu’a déclaré l’ancien chef de la brigade antidrogue de Tahiri, Dritan Zagani dans une vidéo en 2015. Zagani a été accusé de corruption et de trafic de drogue en Albanie en 2014 et s’est aussitôt réfugié en Suisse où il réside encore aujourd’hui.

In April 2017, the incumbent Prime Minister Rama had to fire his Home Secretary, Tahiri, who was responsible for the operations in Lazarat, but he did so only very reluctantly. Tahiri had already made the headlines in 2015, as he had allowed the cultivation of cannabis to transfer away from Lazarat to the whole region, and was said to have even benefited from it. That, at least, was claimed by the former head of Tahiri’s own drugs squad, Dritan Zagani in a video in 2015. Zagani, in the meantime, has found asylum in Switzerland after he was indicted for corruption and drug trafficking in Albania in 2014, and fled to Switzerland overnight. The former Home Secretary denies all charges. All in all, all political parties in Albania accuse one another of benefiting from the cultivation of cannabis. As current developments suggest, neither the Democrats, who were in power from 2005 until 2013, nor the Socialists seem to be actually willing to do anything about cannabis cultivation and trade.

3) China flexing its muscles. Last fall I wrote that Chinese President Xi Jinping was in the process of consolidating power, which could include extending his term in office. This effort has gained significant momentum, as it was announced over the weekend that China plans to drop term limits for the presidency. This is a very significant moment for China, and suggests far greater power for Xi going forward. Last week also saw the Chinese government take over an insurance company and charge its founder with economic crimes. While many pundits believe it demonstrates China’s interest in reining in growing corporate debt, it also is a sign of Xi’s growing power. Greater strength at home will undoubtedly enable Xi to demonstrate greater strength in foreign relations – including trade. Going forward, I expect China to respond in a more powerful way to growing protectionist threats from trading partners such as the U.S.
