WARSAW, 9 July 2016 ─ Michael Georg Link, Director of the OSCE Office for Democratic Institutions and Human Rights (ODIHR), today welcomed the decision by the Supreme Court of Kyrgyzstan to reconsider the case of human rights defender Azimjan Askarov, and again called on the Kyrgyz authorities to heed a decision of the UN Human Rights Committee calling for Askarov’s release.

A Supreme Court hearing is scheduled to review Mr. Askarov’s case on Monday, 11 July.

“I welcome Kyrgyzstan’s openness to reviewing Azimjan Askarov’s case, and my Office stands ready to support the Kyrgyz authorities in their implementation of OSCE commitments related to human rights,” said Director Link. “Kyrgyzstan is obligated under both international law and its own Constitution to quash Askarov’s conviction and immediately release him.”

On 21 April 2016, the UN Human Rights Committee decided in favour of a complaint filed by Askarov, finding that he had been arbitrarily detained, held in inhumane conditions, tortured and mistreated, and prevented from adequately preparing his trial defence. The Committee called on Kyrgyzstan to immediately release him, overturn his conviction, and provide him with compensation for the violations of his human rights. Article 41.2 of the Kyrgyz Constitution requires authorities to implement the Human Rights Committee decision.

“Mr. Askarov’s ongoing detention is not only unlawful, as the UN Human Rights Committee made clear, but also inhumane, in light of the serious deterioration of his health,” the ODIHR Director said. “We look forward to Mr. Askarov’s release and the restoration of his rights, including his access to urgently needed medical care outside of confinement.”

Askarov was reportedly subjected to ill-treatment during his initial detention by police and during his trial. Despite very serious health concerns, he was denied access to adequate medical treatment by detention officials. Since then, he has been held at Penal Colony No. 47, in Bishkek, where his health has reportedly deteriorated further.

Nowy Rok przyniósł kolejne rozwiązania poprawiające bezpieczeństwo polskiego internetu. Jednym z nich jest Artemis – narzędzie rozwijane przez zespół CERT Polska, które pomaga sprawdzać poziom zabezpieczeń stron internetowych. Weryfikacji podlegają podmioty, w przypadku których, zgodnie z ustawą o krajowym systemie cyberbezpieczeństwa, obsługa incydentów koordynowana jest przez CSIRT NASK.

Zespół CERT Polska oraz Służba Kontrwywiadu Wojskowego zaobserwowały kampanię szpiegowską łączoną z działaniami rosyjskich służb specjalnych. Celem kampanii było nielegalne pozyskiwanie informacji z ministerstw spraw zagranicznych oraz placówek dyplomatycznych, w większości znajdujących się w państwach należących do NATO i Unii Europejskiej.

Od początku sierpnia CERT Polska jako jedyna instytucja w kraju i jeden z 7 CERT-ów w Europie może nadawać numery CVE, które służą identyfikacji i katalogowaniu publicznie ujawnionych podatności.

W CERT Polska stale pracujemy nad narzędziami które poprawiają bezpieczeństwo użytkowników internetu w Polsce. Właśnie dlatego stworzyliśmy serwis bezpiecznapoczta.cert.pl, którego celem jest ochrona użytkowników poczty elektronicznej i ułatwienie instytucjom sprawdzenia poprawności konfiguracji mechanizmów podnoszących jej bezpieczeństwo.

Zespół CERT Polska oraz Służba Kontrwywiadu Wojskowego wraz z zagranicznymi partnerami wykryły, że Rosyjska Służba Wywiadu Zagranicznego (SVR) wykorzystuje podatność CVE-2023-42793 (w JetBrains TeamCity) do szeroko zakrojonych działań, skierowanych przeciwko podmiotom wytwarzającym oprogramowanie.

Nowoczesne technologie w obszarze cyberbezpieczeństwa są dla nas tylko narzędziem wspierającym nasze codzienne działania. To ludzie, którzy ich używają naprawdę dokonują zmian. W CERT Polska mamy takich ludzi, a 2023 rok przyniósł nam wiele istotnych zmian, o których opowiadamy w tej publikacji.

Farmscape for October 31, 2024

Saskatchewan Agriculture reports the province's farmers are disappointed with this year's crops but relieved that things weren't worse.
Saskatchewan Agriculture released its final crop report of the season yesterday.
Tyce Masich, a Crops Extension Specialist with Saskatchewan Agriculture, says producers were able to get their crops off well before the heavy frosts set in.

Quote-Tyce Masich-Saskatchewan Agriculture:
Starting in May when producers were seeing it was very cool and wet so there were some seeding delays and also the early season cool temperatures specifically delayed crop development in the first two months of the growing season, which wasn't great for crops but the moisture did allow them to be well established for the lack of moisture in July and August that we saw.
In July and August there were hot and dry conditions throughout most of Saskatchewan which really hurt the early season yield potential that producers were expecting.
Early season, with all of the moisture that we had, there were more reports of early season root rot in crops which hurt crop establishment early in the season and then, as the season progressed and things got warmer and drier, that's when the grasshoppers really came out and started to feed on crops.
I know in the west and southwest producers were spraying for grasshoppers specifically and in areas of the province that would have gotten rainfall in the beginning July when canola was full canopy there were a lot of producers spraying for sclerotinia stem rot and there were some reports of sclerotinia stem rot in Saskatchewan but I think overall it had a pretty minimal impact on yields this year.
The biggest thing was the hot conditions in July really heat blasted a lot of canola which would have resulted in most of the yield loss for canola and other crops as well.

Masich says yields for most crops in Saskatchewan were slightly above average with the exceptions of crops like canola and mustard that were slightly below average but, given the dry years we've had the past couple of years, growers are happy with that.

The Communications and Marketing Coordinator with Sask Pork says the 47th edition of Saskatchewan Pork Industry Symposium will provide an opportunity for pork producers to learn the latest in research and technology development, to interact with government officials and industry leaders and to network.
The Saskatchewan Pork Development Board's Saskatchewan Pork Industry Symposium 2024 is scheduled for Saskatoon Tuesday and Wednesday.
Sask Pork Communications and Marketing Coordinator Steve Seto says the symposium focusses on fostering an environment that supports sustainability, efficiency and profitability.

Quote-Steve Seto-Saskatchewan Pork Development Board:
The symposium is our annual event where many of our producers come to Saskatoon for two days.
It does give our producers a great opportunity to talk with industry leaders.
Water quality is probably going to be a big one, just making sure that the water quality up to par.
The changes to the Code of practice with the Canadian pork Council will probably be discussed.
Funding and government grants, I assume will be a big talking point between producers and some of the government officials that will be there.
Always trying to make things more sustainable and efficient and helping our producers be profitable is kind of our main goal every year, making sure the industry is very strong going forward.
Those are going to be some of the key highlights but it's also a great opportunity to just talk and network not only with other producers but industry leaders.
We've been doing it now for 47 years and it's a really good opportunity for people to come together.
