In Romania, the fear of fowl fever and ... the Turks
-----------------
Following news of the appearance of bird flu in the Black Sea basin and in the depths of the Turkish peninsula, the threat of the disease fell on the Romanians. The public anxiety led the Romanian authorities to take unprecedented preventive measures, which according to various experts are no less effective "than... The spokesmen of the Ministries of Health, Foreign Affairs, as well as the Romanian Police and Customs, announced a decision to establish "as soon as possible" a nationwide disinfection system, which will be operated at all land border crossings and sea and air ports. The array also includes Danube River anchorages. Among other things, health inspectors will be stationed at the main train stations, who have the authority to check passenger baggage "If we find something similar to meat, we will confiscate and destroy it without hesitation or tears," said an official in Bucharest. A police officer added that the state police were instructed "to keep an eye on intersections in the rural area to discover smugglers of live or slaughtered poultry."
In marshy areas, where thousands of migratory birds nest, including nesting areas of pelicans flying "on the Israel-Romania line", preparations are being made to prevent the visits of travelers and nature tourists, including birders who come mainly from Europe. A representative of the World Health Organization WHO said in the capital "there is still no room for panic" but a public health inspector, according to him, "what exactly are these disinfection procedures?" He explained that the threat of the flu fell on the Romanians and their Moldavian and Bulgarian neighbors, following news about the spread of the disease in Turkey, all this "because the Romanians have a not so pleasant memory of the era of the Turkish Sultanate"

The Prime Minister of Thailand demands that tourist killers be hanged
---------------
Prime Minister Taksin Shinawatra demanded from the criminal court to bring together the royal executioner, as soon as possible, with two young fishermen accused of the rape and murder of an English tourist.
The Prime Minister's intervention in the expedited legal process stems from a fear that the murder of KATHRINE HORTON, 21 years old from Wales, will "result in a decrease in the number of tourists visiting the kingdom." The murder, kidnapping and rape that preceded it caused a shock in the Thai tourism community, which has not yet recovered from the tsunami disaster and is also dealing with terrorist threats . According to the lawsuit, it appears that the fishermen Baloi Fosit, 23, and his friend Wichai Shumkayon, 24, kidnapped the young backpacker who was traveling in Thailand with one of her friends, Catherine, who went missing "after leaving her temporary accommodation for a short time on January XNUMXnd to buy food." The body of the psychology student was discovered four days later. Koh Samui KHO SAMUI The discovery of the body and various testimonies, mainly from fishermen and passers-by who told, among other things, about the "exploitation of the innocence of the backpacker and Inusa" stirred up the media and caused many backpackers to abandon their travel plans. The Prime Minister, who is known for his aggressive approach to crime, said that in the event that the two defendants are "only" punished with life imprisonment with hard labor, "the kingdom will be shaken and will not rest until the execution" of the fishermen, who appeared in court with their hands and feet shackled, with a "locking sash" connecting the waists For chains, wore prison uniforms and wore prison sandals. The two listened quietly to eight prosecution witnesses. A journalist, reporting on the case, said "that the defendants only smiled when they heard about the postponement of the continuation of the hearing until next week" One of the lawyers assisting the defense, said that the surprise and smile stemmed from her expectation that the two would be found guilty, sentenced to death and immediately sent "to the executioner for as short a wait as possible"

Turban - not in our school
----------
JASMAL SINGH, a Sikh-Malay who observes the religious commandments that include the prohibition of haircuts or shaving, wearing a turban, and more, accused the Ministry of Education in Kuala Lumpur of "racial discrimination against the background of Islamic extremism" The anger of the 45-year-old Sikh engineer was brought to the attention of the Malaysian public through the media , after the principal of the high school, where RAVINDAR, the religious Sikh's 17-year-old son, is studying, announced "Turban, long hair and beard - not in our school!" Ravandar was sent home with a letter detailing the school's procedures and a copy of the Ministry of Education's order. The case angered the Sikh community of Malaysia, which is mostly immigrants or foreign workers from India and led to accusations against various schools, all over the kingdom, forcing Sikh students to "get a haircut or go home". The Ministry of Education rejected the Sikh accusations and pointed out that the laws of the Sikh religion require every man to carry a dagger called A kirpan, a comb, a bracelet "and to pack his clothes" in a turban as symbols of ethno-cultural belonging "The Sikhs know that we are not allowed to come to school with a dagger and the matter does not cause a problem, so why should we give up on Ravandar's shaving and haircut?" asked the administrators of the Education Authority. The response did not satisfy the Sikhs who announced "Operation Turban" whose purpose is to conduct a public campaign to recognize the full religious rights of minorities" Meanwhile, the Sikhs found vocal allies precisely in the extremist Muslim circles who at least support the issue of the beard...

Keychains with condoms - straight to the fire!
------------------
Activists fighting the HIV/AIDS virus in Kuala Lumpur, found themselves in turbulent waters, after they brought thousands of transparent key chains that include a condom box from Thailand. The packaged condoms, one condom per keychain, come in different colors, including gold and glowing green. The good and worthy cause did not justify all the means, after clerics led by extremist "madrasah" directors accused the AIDS fighters of "encouraging break-ins" in several cases, condom dispensers were beaten and in at least one case "dangerous" key chains were "confiscated" that jubilantly ending the evening prayer, were set on fire as an imam He recites Koran verses in the ears of sheep from his flock and declares that the use of contraceptives of any kind is "against the principles of Islam".
Revenge on the key holders who ended up in the fire, spread to some pharmacies and businesses, where condoms can be purchased. The followers of Islam, among others the Ansar e Suna organization which preaches the application of Sharia laws and the establishment of a Malaysian Halacha state, called on the faithful to keep their feet away from "infidel pharmacies" The government announced that "the customs authority is checking who allowed the importation of key holders" which meanwhile have become a sought-after and fashionable commodity.

What's for sure... sure to murder them all
-------------
A 48-year-old South African coal miner who worked in the JAAPILAAS mine near the town of MILRTON, left the mine at the end of a grueling day's work, where he heard rumors about "forbidden romances" run by his wife. The man rushed home when, according to eyewitnesses, "he was shaking with anger" the husband, who believed that his 43-year-old wife was indeed cheating on him, put a 9mm gun to her head and pulled the trigger. Immediately after the murder of his partner, the miner shot his two daughters, two-year-old twins. Police said the miner shot the toddlers as many as eighteen times. While the father goes wild and occasionally uses the cell phone to find out which of his friends suspected of adultery is at home. His five-year-old daughter tried to run away to a neighbor's house. The frightened girl was chased by her father, beaten and shot in the head, when she was about to enter the neighbors' apartment. The killing spree did not end in the miner's house. The man searched in vain for his nine-year-old son, whom he also wanted to murder, and when he did not find the boy, he hurried to visit the homes of his friends, miners who were "suspected" to be lovers of the wife. The killing spree continued when the miner murdered two of his co-workers whom he located in their homes. The news about the death-envy husband spread quickly. Miners and others who feared that knowing the murdered woman would be enough to lead to their untimely death, hurried to escape to hiding places. The tragedy ended when the miner shot himself in the head and committed suicide in front of the police who were chasing him.

He sought revenge on the hospital director and kidnapped a baby girl
-------------------
A 40-year-old man who claims that the manager of a hospital in northern Japan did not respond to his complaints, went to find the manager, explain orally what it was about and demand a qualified answer. When he arrived at the offices of the small hospital, the secretaries claimed that the manager was not there. The man, whose complaint is related to treatment that he believes took longer than necessary, noticed the manager just as he fled the office through the window and ran into the parking lot. The angry patient was unable to reach the manager and decided to surprise him at an unacceptable hour. That same evening, the complainant returned to the hospital with a can of gasoline in his hand "You are the manager now or I will burn the building down!" This is how he shouted and the nurse in charge was unable to convince him that the manager was not available, she called a security guard. Minutes before the security guard arrived on the floor where the short drama took place, the complainant rushed to the room where a young mother and her daughter, a four-day-old baby, were staying. The complainant put down the gasoline tank and instead of setting the hospital on fire, kidnapped the baby and left through an emergency hatch. In the end, the police managed to locate and arrest the kidnapper and reunite the baby with the mother, who according to the nurses "almost lost her mind" when the newly arrested was brought to the court, in order to extend detention until "a multi-case trial" said the hotelier the kidnapper, who saw the manager slipping through the window "chased me until Loss of reason".

Burn down a train station to… . warm up
-------------
Yamaguchi Kaimon, a 74-year-old Japanese man, was arrested in the Fukuda area after setting fire to a small train station. The man, who did not try to flee the scene, told the firefighters and the police that he was restless, tired, hungry and desperate. While the fire is raging and consuming not only the station building but also a cargo warehouse, Yamaguchi asked to stay close to the flames to... keep warm. The man was sent for a psychiatric evaluation, but the hospital where the police car was passing determined that this was not someone who had lost his mind "but during the period when the number of homeless is increasing" Activists of an organization that cares for the poor and especially for the under XNUMXs, said that the case should arouse the conscience of the public, which is aware of the problem of the homeless, the hungry and the hopeless without doing anything against what one of the newspapers defined as a "national disgrace"

Sex tourists from England will also be punished at home
--------------
Alexander Kilpatrick, a father of two from the London area "won" to enter the British legal records as a pedophile and sex tourist who committed crimes outside the kingdom but was tried in his homeland. The man also known as "the uncle with the toys" was arrested in Ghana, after an English tourist noticed the toy dealer inviting local minors to his room. The Ghanaian police discovered that he was a sex tourist, who routinely comes to Africa "to spend time with children" Kilpatrick was arrested and according to an agreement between the British government and countries that are "sex tourism" destinations, he was handed over to the British police. During his trial, "the uncle with the toys" said that he was aware of the seriousness of his actions, but asked the court to take into account the fact that the pedophile impulse "got me out of control" rape Among other things, pronographic photographs of minors surrounded by toys and even photographs of the "uncle" together with victims holding toys that they received in exchange for sexual harassment were shown in court. Kilpatrick's trial was highlighted in the English media of Africa, all this with the aim of discouraging good "uncles and aunties" from handing out candy toys or those who use pimps who specialize in "special tourism" from Gambia. The services of "specialist masseuses" are usually minors or teenagers, who are used as applicators of tanning lotions and cosmetic products, when the payment for the service is made not by the pool, but... in the tanning lust guest room.
