AN 18 YEAR OLD WHO WAS GANG RAPED FACES STONING FOR ADULTERY.

9 MONTHS PREGNANT TEENAGER WHO WAS GANG RAPED STANDS ACCUSED OF ADULTERY AND NOW COULD BE STONED TO DEATH IN SUDAN.                                 Last august when  the teenage divorcee Ethiopian girl was around 3months pregnant , she was lured by seven men to an empty property in the capital Khartoum and violently gang raped, she later reported it to police but the officer in charge did not pursue an investigation because it was the Eid holiday. The officer was initialy charged with negligence but the charge was dropped on tuesday.   The 18 year old, now 9 months pregnant, is currently being held in a bare cell, sleeping on a concrete floor without a mattress or suitable clothing after being charged with adultery, according to the Strategic Initiative for Women in the Horn of Africa (SIHA) network.    SIHA accused Sudan of discriminating against the alleged victim because she is both a woman and a migrant, and demanded her immediate release or transfer to hospital.

According to SIHA one of the attackers filmed the rape and posted it on social media six months later which led to the arrest of both perpetrators and victim. When the case came to court earlier this month 5 of the men between the ages of 18 and 22 stood accused of adultery, another man who said that he didnt have sex with the teenager stood accused of gross indecency.                                        The woman is charged with adultery, although she denied the charges and is pleading not guilty on the basis that the sexual act was against her will. Her attempt to make a complaint of rape has been denied on the technicality that she is under investigation on other charges and she should have complained at the time of the incident. Her request for bail has been denied by the attorney general.    Sudans judiciary has been given up to £20.6m over the period March 2010 to March 2014 to fund a "safety and access to justice programme" in Sudan and South Sudan.  A Department for International Development (DfID)  spokesman said on Tuesday: "We condemn absolutely all human rights abuses and stoning is an abhorrent practice. DfID recently ended its support to the Sudanese judiciary in light of the deteriorating operating environment and our deep concerns about human rights abuses."

100 BRITONS UNDER INVESTIGATION INTO LIVE STREAMING OF CHILD SEXUAL ABUSE.

                                                                                                                         Britains NCA ( national crime agency ) are investigating 100 people in connection over live child sexual has it occured in the phillipines, 17 have been arrested in over 12 countries in the investigation named Operation Endeavour. British police have joined forces with Australian and US investigators in a two-year operation focusing on what the UK's National Crime Agency calls "a significant and emerging threat", particularly in developing countries.                                                                                                                                  Andy  Baker from the NCA said "This investigation has identified some extremely dangerous child sex offenders who believed paying for children to be abused to order was something they could get away with"                                 "Being thousands of miles away makes no difference to their guilt. In my mind they are just as responsible for the abuse of these children as the contact abusers overseas."                                                                                                               "Protecting the victims of abuse is our priority and that means attacking every link in the chain, from dismantling the organised groups who are motivated by profit through to targeting their customers."                                                                                                                                                                                                                       

Another 3 investigations are at present underway with 139 britons said to be involved amongst the 733 suspects.                                                                                                              Northamtonshire Police visited registered sex offender Timothy Ford and searched his computer and found obscene videos and images of children which he was paying for to view "live to order" via the philippines. Ford was preparing to leave the UK and move to the Philippines and set up an internet cafe there. Instead he was arrested and jailed for eight and a half years in march of 2013.  Thomas Owen who was another member of the paedophile ring was found to have nearly 4 million images of child abuse victims on his computer was arrested and sentenced to 7 years imprisonment in july of last year.

 In a statement the NCA said, "The use of webcams to stream live abuse, particulaly from the developing world is a significant and emerging threat according to the NCA's CEOP ( child exploitation and online protection ) command. Extreme poverty, the increasing availability of high speed internet and the existence of a vast and comparatively wealthy overseas customer base has led to organised crime groups exploiting children for financial gain"                                                                                                                                                                                                                     15 children in the age range of 6 to 15 have been identified as being victims of sexual abuse and rescued, Many of them having been sold to paedophiles by their relatives.                                                                                                                                  Of the 17 suspects arrested in the UK five have been convicted, nine are still in the process of being investigated , one has been released without charges being brought and two are dead. ( apologies for there only being two )

KILLER HORNETS TERRORIZE CHINA.

Vespa mandarinia japonica, a subspecies of the giant Asian hornet

42 DEAD AS HORNETS KILL IN CHINA.                                                           

The Asian giant hornet, known scientifically as Vespa mandarinia, carries a venom that destroys red blood cells, which can result in kidney failure and death, said Justin O. Schmidt, an entomologist at the Southwest Biological Institute in Tucson, Arizona.

But perhaps a bigger problem than the toxicity of the venom is allergy, Schmidt says. Some people are naturally more allergic to stinging insects than others; a sting can trigger a deadly anaphylactic reaction, which may involve airway closure or cardiac arrest.

Since July, hornet attacks have killed 42 people and injured 1,675 people in three cities in Shaanxi province, according to the local government. Among those attacked, 206 are receiving treatment in hospitals. The pain of the Asian Giant Hornet is described as a hot nail piercing the skin and lasts for about 4 hours with instant swelling. One victim told local media earlier this month that " the more you run the more they want to chase you" Some victims described being chased about 200 metres by a swarm. Local authorities have deployed thousands of police officers and locals to destroy about 710 hives but " its very difficult to prevent the attacks because hornet nests are usually in hidden sites.
