Ci auguriamo che la cancellazione della partecipazione di Arnold Schwarzenegger al Festival di Sanremo, sia dovuta ad uneffettiva strategia politica della Rai a favore del diritto alla vita e della difesa dei diritti fondamentali di ogni essere umano, contro la spettacolarizzazione della morte - afferma Guido Barbera, presidente del Cipsi. Auspichiamo che questa scelta rappresenti un impegno concreto non solo della Rai per dare spazio a testimonianze positive in difesa dei diritti umani, del diritto alla vita". Prendendo spunto da questo episodio, il Cipsi propone un Codice Etico per le trasmissioni di massa anche sulle pubblicitą. La Rai in sostituzione di Schwarzy ha perņ invitato John Cena, campione di wrestling. "Esprimiamo al rigurado la nostra preoccupazione perchč questo č uno sport che trasmette violenza. La Rai e tutti i canali di informazione di massa hanno enormi responsabilitą informative ed educative che si ripercuotono inevitabilmente anche su atteggiamenti sociali quali lattuale crisi internazionale di rapporti tra religioni e tra culture diverse" - nota il presidente del Cipsi.

In riferimento al comunicato stampa pubblicato oggi dal Ministero dell'Interno, in cui si definiscono "destituite di fondamento" le denunce della Sezione Italiana di Amnesty International sulla detenzione di minori migranti e richiedenti asilo al loro arrivo in Italia, la Sezione Italiana di Amnesty sottolinea che le norme italiane che escludono la detenzione dei minori non accompagnati, menzionate dal Ministero, non hanno purtroppo evitato che dal gennaio 2002 all'agosto 2005 almeno 890 minori, accompagnati e non, siano stati effettivamente trattenuti, per tempi anche lunghi, nei diversi centri di detenzione esistenti in Italia (Centri di permanenza temporanea - Cpt). Il comunicato stesso del Ministero dell'Interno conferma di fatto che la detenzione di minori subito dopo il loro arrivo č una realtą in Italia, come denunciato dal rapporto 'Invisibili' di Amnesty International.
