Russian anarchist and anti-war movement in the third year of full-scale warAntti Rautiainen
Anarchist group ANA Regensburg hosted my online-presentation on 16th of May 2024, in which I discussed tactics of anti-war activism in Russia, and reasons why the anti-war movement has not been able to make an impact to change the course of events yet. Cases of anarchists repressed for anti-war activities are presented, as well as strategies of support for political prisoners, and modest successes in supporting their struggles.

2. WHO WE ARE
WE ARE A PRIMARILY SELF-FUNDED
SOCIAL SERVICE ORGANISATION
WITH IPC STATUS
Early in 1995, a group of parents of children with Down
syndrome recognised the need to support and educate
families, professionals and the public about Down
syndrome. Down Syndrome Association (Singapore)
[DSA] was established in 1996, awarded official
recognition by National Council of Social Services and
registered as a charity with the Commissioner of
Charities in 1997.
The Association is affiliated to international bodies such
as Down Syndrome International (DSI), the Asia-Pacific
Down Syndrome Federation (APDSF), Asian Federation
of Mental Retardation (AFMR) and the International
Association of the Scientific Study of Intellectual
Disabilities (IASSID).
DSA organised and hosted the 2nd Asia Pacific
Conference on Down syndrome and the 8th World
Down Syndrome Congress in Singapore.
Every child and
adult with Down
syndrome has a
right to a rich and
meaningful life.
We endeavour to be the centre of
excellence for individuals with Down
syndrome, their families and the
community.
Our mission is to develop individuals
with Down syndrome through lifelong
learning and social integration; support
families through specialist services,
information and education; and
advocate for equal opportunities,
quality of life and their contribution to
society.

3. WHAT IS DOWN
SYNDROME?
IT IS A GENETIC CONDITION
CAUSED BY THE PRESENCE OF AN
EXTRA CHROMOSOME 21
This extra genetic material causes learning
difficulties and gives rise to medical conditions such
as heart or thyroid disorders, and vision or hearing
defects.
Down syndrome usually causes varying degrees of
intellectual and physical disability and associated
medical issues.
Typically, Down syndrome is recognisable at birth,
due to the presence of particular physical features
such as almond shaped eyes, small ears, flattened
facial profile and reduce muscle tone.
They may also face developmental delays and
learning difficulties which may include delayed
motor skills such as sitting, crawling and walking in
fancy; and delayed cognitive skills such as speech
and language acquisition. Most children with Down
syndrome will learn to walk and talk, just at a slower
pace. Persons with Down syndrome may also be
able to live independently if given adequate support
and encouragement.
Down syndrome is a naturally occurring
arrangement, being universally present across racial,
gender or socioeconomic lines in approximately 1 in
800 live births.
As of yet it is not known what causes the presence of
an extra chromosome 21. It can come from either
parent. What we do know is that nothing done
before or during pregnancy can cause Down
syndrome.
