China accuses Britain of interference over Hong Kong
BEIJING: China on Wednesday accused London of
interfering in its internal affairs after British Deputy Prime Minister
Nick Clegg met two leading Hong Kong pro-democracy activists urging
greater freedoms from Beijing.
China "lodged solemn protests" with Britain over Tuesday's meetings with Martin Lee, founder of Hong Kong's opposition Democratic Party, and Anson Chan, the former number two in the city's government, the official Xinhua news agency reported.
"What Britain has done is interference in China's internal affairs. China strongly opposes it," said Beijing's foreign ministry spokesman Hong Lei.
"Hong Kong's affairs fall within China's internal affairs. China firmly opposes any interference in Hong Kong affairs by any country under whatever pretext," said Hong.

US President Barack Obama mounted a defiant defense of his global
leadership Wednesday, rebuking critics who see him as weak but warning

He also pledged to ramp up support for Syrian rebels, vowed to stand up to Russia over Ukraine and promised to make drone strikes against terror suspects more transparent.

UN human rights commissioner criticizes Turkey’s Internet law
The Office of the United Nations’ High Commissioner for Human Rights
(OHCHR) has criticized Turkey for its controversial Internet law, saying
it may lead to breaches of human rights.
A statement released by the OHCHR on Feb. 14 criticized the law, which was allowing Turkey’s telecommunications authority (TİB) to block websites without first seeking a court order. The law was adopted Feb. 6 by Parliament and is currently awaiting President Abdullah Gül’s approval.
