Political violence against social activists has risen in recent years despite 
the signing of a peace accord between the government and the leftist guerrilla 
group, the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (FARC). According to 
Colombia’s Ombudsman, more than 311 political murders have been registered 
since the accords were signed in November 2016.

In the aftermath of Turkey’s June 24 elections, “won” amid fraud and 
intimidation by President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan and the alliance between his 
Justice and Development Party (AKP) and the far-right Nationalist Movement 
Party (MHP), Muhsin Yorulmaz takes a look at the post-election climate.

I have a copy of Edgar Snow’s The Pattern of Soviet Power that I’d like to pass 
along to a scholar in this area of study.

Drought and lack of rainfall are important factors contributing to the 
current crisis. However, growing population, disastrous agricultural 
practices, poor water management, and aggressive groundwater withdrawal 
and dam building without proper impact assessment are the leading causes 
of the current water bankruptcy and socio-economic drought. But these 
are also political issues for they touch on the financial interests of 
powerful institutions. Companies linked to the Islamic Revolutionary 
Guard Corps have been involved in dam-building businesses. The military 
has commandeered wildlife protected areas.


Conservationists and environmentalists are under enormous pressure and 
subject to mistrust and suspicion. Decades-long activities have suddenly 
become illegal.


Kavous Seyed-Emami, an Iranian-Canadian professor who ran the Persian 
Wildlife Heritage Foundation (PWHF), lost his life while in detention in 
the infamous Evin Prison in Tehran in February. There are still 
environmentalists and conservationists in prisons. A brilliant Iranian 
scientist Kaveh Madani, from Imperial College in London, joined Hassan 
Rouhani’s government as deputy head of Iran’s Department of Environment 
because of his belief that security in the Middle East and Iran is 
directly linked to water security. He came under the surveillance of the 
Iranian Intelligence Services and was eventually forced to leave the 
country under pressure from hardliners.
