On February 22, 2007, bombing from U.S. fighter planes
destroyed four homes in Ramadi, a city in western Iraq's
  Anbar     province. 26 people were killed, and many more were injured.

For the past four years homes have been destroyed,
schools have been occupied, supplies of food and medicine
  have stopped, and the skies have been filled with fear.

Civilian deaths and their bereaved loved ones
have continued to multiply during this period� 
as  have the numbers of people fighting back in armed resistance.

A young man from the war zone of Ramadi, which has become the l
  argest site in the "war on terror"�and where media from around
  the world do not have access�has traveled to Japan in order to share
  his personal story.

Speaker Profile:

Name: Kasim Turki
Age: 30
Birthdate: November 27, 1976
Profession: Aid worker
Hometown: Ramadi, Anbar province, Iraq
Education: Mechanical Engineering  degree from Anbar
University

Kasim served in the Republican Guard during the Iraq War.
After reporting to media in the Baghdad area regarding an
assault that took place in Fallujah on April 28, 2003
whereby U.S. forces began shooting at participants of a
demonstration, Kasim began working with U.S. television
network CNN, as well as freelance Japanese journalists.

In June of the same year, Kasim was unjustly arrested by
U.S. forces while doing research with a Japanese
journalist, and was held for nine days. Following     his
release, he began chairing the Rebuild Youth Group of
Iraq. Projects to date include rebuilding schools and
other facilities, opening a medical clinic, and providing
emergency support to displaced civilians. Since 2004,
Kasim has also served as the local area supervisor for the
Fallujah Reconstruction Project, which provides assistance
from the private sector in Japan.

Last year, a  blog written by Kasim in English that
describes local conditions in Ramadi drew attention in the
U.S., and caused him to once again be detained by the U.S.
military.

About
東京プログレッシヴは1997年の発足以来、様々に形を変えて現在に至っています。当初は英語を学ぶ日本人学生の一助として、また批判的読解力を育てるためのオルタナティヴ・メディアとしてスタートした後、民主的メディアを推進する情報源として発展してきました。｢民主的メディア｣とは時に分かりにくい言葉ですが、企業メディアによって非公開とされたり歪曲された情報を解放するメディア、という意を含みます。それはまた、東京プログレッシヴも含めたすべてのメディアは、そのメディア独自の視点を持ち、｢メディアの客観性｣という言説は神話にしかすぎない、ということの理解でもあります。

TokyoProgressive has been in existence in various incarnations since 1997. Originally conceived as a tool to help Japanese students of English and alternative media develop critical literacy skills, it has developed into a resource for promoting a democratic media. This is a sometimes ambiguous term that includes liberating information withheld or distorted by the corporate media. It also means understanding that all media, including TokyoProgressive, is biased and that objectivity is a myth.
