Charminar
Charminar ("Cuatro Torres") es un enorme monumento localizado en la ciudad de Hyderabad, capital del estado de Andhra Pradesh, en el sur de la India, construido por el sultán Muhammed Quli Qutub Shah en el año 1591, poco después de que decidiese mover la capital de su reino de Golkonda a la que en la actualidad se conoce como Hyderabad.
Es una estructura cuadrada, en la que cada lado mide 20 metros, sostenida sobre cuatro arcos de 11 metros de anchura cada uno. Desde cada esquina del cuadrado se elevan cuatro delgados minaretes de casi 50 metros de altura con escaleras espirales en su interior.
Este hermoso coloso de granito, cal, mortero y, según algunos, de mármol pulverizado, fue en cierta época el corazón de la ciudad, y actualmente es uno de los principales puntos de referencia de Hyderabad.
Algunos anglófilos consideran a Charminar como el Arco del Triunfo del Este.

Spanish authorities
accuse 14-year-old of terrorism:
!!Documentary Campaign!!!
Spanish authorities have prosecuted a child for terrorism! Incredible but true!
14-year-old Èric Bertran e-mailed companies requesting labeling in
Catalan language, using the "Phoenix" monicker from the Harry Potter
books. The Spanish police accused him of organizing an Al Qaeda cell.
The authorities took him all the way to the Spanish High Court.
From August 27 to September 2, we're getting the word out, through
blogs, press releases, and other media. Here's the idea: We want this
film about the Èric Bertran case to be seen as many times as possible
from September 3rd to 9th, so that it ends up ranking in the "most
watched" circuit.
Through this coordinated effort, with the help of new communications
and information technologies, we hope to get some international
coverage of this case, and the true deficit of democracy in the
Spanish State, as well as the fact that the Catalan people are now
demanding their right to define themselves as a sovereign nation.
The documentary has been uploaded to YouTube in five parts. Here's the
link to the first part of the video, for the purposes of the mass
viewing:

Juvenile Èric Bertran was prosecuted for demanding labelling in Catalan language, a right given to him by the Spanish Constitution. This is a democratic state within modern Europe?
