14yr Old Rape Victim Beaten to Death by Islamic Court
http://www.fortliberty.org/14yr-old-rape-victim-beaten-to-death-by-islamic-court.html
Hena Begum was a fourteen year old girl growing up in the Shariatpur region of Bangladesh until her forty year old cousin decided to rape her.
After she was raped, the rapist and his family then beat her until she was unconscious.
Next, the local Sharia (Islamic) courts ruled that yound Hena should receive 101 lashes for the crime of adultery — for the crime of being a child raped by an adult.
The Muslim clerics took the young girl, who still could not stand on her own, to a public square and proceeded to deliver the 101 lashes. After receiving 80 lashes, young Hena collapsed. Her family was allowed to take her to a hospital where she died from her wounds.
The child’s father, Dorbesh Khan, was also ordered to pay a fine equal to approximately $700 USD — quite a considerable sum in a nation which is suffering under the poverty which almost inevitably results from Islamic rule.
The rapist, Mahbub Khan, had been previously convicted of rape and sentenced to marry his rape victim. The rape victim from that encounter was one of the family members who helped beat young Hena unconscious before her “trial.” Mahbub has since disappeared in order to avoid punishment for this more recent rape.

What sort of people would beat a fourteen year old girl to death in a public square — and call it justice? This is not the sort of religious tolerance that I as a moral human being am willing to accept.

Chechnya: daily life
After two Chechen brothers were named in connection with the Boston
Marathon bombings, Reuters photographer Maxim Shemetov took this
collection of images titled "Inside Modern Chechnya" showing daily life
in the semi-autonomous Russian region known for a centuries-old
tradition of defying Moscow’s rule. Shemetov focused on the area in and
around the capital of Grozny. -- Lloyd Young

What Your Hand-holding Style Says About Your Relationship
What Your Hand-holding Style Says About Your Relationship
As
you probably know, there are subtle things that men and women do in
relationships to demonstrate how they truly feel. Often, the most
telling signs are those that are not immediately apparent. In fact, some
of these signs are completely unconscious.Body language experts around the world study how unconscious body motions and movements signify what men and women are feeling. What your significant other cannot say in words, he or she shows through body language. It’s amazing what kind of information you can pick up on if you’re paying attention.
Although there are literally thousands of different body language signals, one of the most commonly referred to is hand-holding styles, especially when it comes to relationships. How couples hold hands says a lot about how they are feeling about their relationship at the moment. So, what does your hand- holding style say about your relationship?
Palm Facing Down
If your palm is facing down, you are taking the lead in the relationship right now. In this case, your wrist crosses in front of your partner’s. If you are feeling more dominant in the moment, you are likely to choose this hand-holding style.
The next time you plan date night, notice the way you’re holding hands. Body language experts agree that your palm is most likely to be facing down because you feel in control and confident.
If you notice that your palm is consistently facing down, it may be a sign that you naturally take a dominant role in relationships.
Fingers Intertwined
If your fingers are intertwined, you are feeling emotionally and physically connected as a couple. In this case, your fingers should be interlocked. If you are feeling completely in sync, you are likely to choose this hand-holding style.
Body language experts claim that this hand-holding style is more common at the end of a date than at the beginning. After a romantic evening or gesture, it is quite likely that your fingers will be intertwined to demonstrate your closer connection.
If you notice that your fingers are consistently intertwined, it may be a sign that this relationship is going to go the distance.
Loosely Connected
If your fingers are loosely connected, you are feeling emotionally distant as a couple. In this case, you are connected by only a few fingers and your bodies are separated by a sizable gap. If you are feeling trapped by the relationship or more independent, you are likely to go with this hand-holding style.
This hand-holding style is most common shortly after or before a fight. You are feeling more casual about the relationship and need some space.
If you notice that your fingers are consistently loosely connected, it may be a sign that a fight or breakup is coming your way.
Would some clever soul tell me what happened?
AMAZING!!!

GPS Tracking Could Help End People Smuggling
GPS Tracking Could Help End People Smuggling
Human Trafficking
GPS tracking systems have helped police agencies conduct numerous different types of surveillance missions over the past decade. Whether tracking systems are used for following the routes of drug dealers or other serious crimes, there is no denying that the technology has played a critical role in helping investigations. With GPS monitoring devices being commonly associated with various Homeland Security Department and Border Patrol applications, many people in support for the fight against human trafficking want to see tracking devices used more to end the increasingly global problem of human trafficking.What Is Human Trafficking?
Essentially viewed as a crime against humanity, human trafficking involves the process of kidnapping, enslaving, harboring and transporting people through force, persuasion or some other avenue with the intention of exploiting the individual. Human traffickers commonly will recruit children or teen girls and forcefully relocate them to a different and often times international location where the victim is forced to comply with the human traffickers demands. Human traffickers will often use children or young teen girls as prostitutes as a means to generate income. The human traffickers use psychological manipulation, drugs and physical abuse to make victims of human trafficking feel helpless and alone.GPS Tracking: How It Can Help Stop Human Traffickers
GPS vehicle tracking technology is one of the sophisticated ways that both police and government agencies conduct research investigations on criminal activity. This is because GPS car tracking systems offer police a unique way to remotely view the location of potential drug traffickers and human trafficking suspects.Imagine you work for a police department and receive a tip about a group of mafia members of people who have been transporting young girls from Mexico into the United States for the purpose of prostitution. Not only is prostitution illegal, but so to is the transportation of illegal aliens and human trafficking, making this situation a very serious concern for law authorities. Looking to gather evidence and compile a strong case, you and your police colleagues choose to place tracking devices on the vehicles of all the suspects in order to monitor their movements remotely form computer. After a few weeks or few months, you discover that some of the men are traveling to Mexico and making stops at several different locations in Arizona and southern California with consistency. Once you investigate those locations or stops recorded by the GPS tracking systems, you uncover what looks to be an international prostitution ring. With the evidence acquired from the GPS car trackers, you and your police force are credited with ending a human trafficking and prostitution ring, allowing freedom to all of the girls in captivity who were tortured and forced into a life they did not ever choose.
Although the problem of human trafficking is a much larger issue for countries in Eastern Europe and Asia, that does not mean that the United States is not being affected by the problem. Nearly 20,000 people, primarily women and young children, are illegally trafficked into the Unites States every year! Hopefully, with a combination of diligent law enforcement work and GPS tracking technology, human trafficking victims can be granted freedom, and the people responsible for the trafficking of human beings are placed behind bars for life.
