Religions united for the environment against Four Major Rivers Restoration Project
by Theresa Kim Hwa-young
Catholics, Protestants and Buddhists are working together to stop the project. Strongly backed by the South Korean government, the scheme could destroy the ecosystem of the country’s major river systems. Masses, demonstrations and prayer vigils are held for strictly religious reasons.
Licence to practice not renewed for lawyers who defend human rights or Falun Gong
Each year, Chinese lawyers must have local bar associations renew their licence to practice. Last year and even more so this year, renewal has been often rejected or made very difficult for lawyers who defend Tibetans, pro-rights activists or Falun Gong members.

Sex vs God in the Philippines
The long-standing debate about sex education in the Philippines is heating up, with the government and Catholic Church at loggerheads over plans to integrate discussions on human reproduction into elementary and high school curriculums. Muslims have also joined the opposition, while supporters say issues concerning the country's runaway population growth should be paramount. - Jennee Grace U Rubrico
Amid war talk, arms buildup continues
Talk of an Israeli strike against Iran won't go away, despite the latest rounds of sanctions placed on Tehran aimed at avoiding just such an offensive. In Lebanon meanwhile, where Israel still has unfinished business, Hezbollah is reported to be acquiring a large number of game-changing missile launchers. - David Moon
Iran blames US for mosque attack
After at least 30 people were killed at a Shi'ite mosque in the latest in a series of bloody attacks, Iran pointed the finger at US backing for Jundallah, the Sunni group that claimed responsibility for the double bombing. United States officials have long denied Washington supports the group. To some analysts, their denials are unconvincing. - Jim Lobe
The folly of common currencies
Europe should not be surprised at the difficulty it faces in maintaining a common currency across widely divergent economies. The examples of Argentina and Hong Kong in their efforts to peg their currencies to that of another country should have been lesson enough. - Henry CK Liu
