Riots in Suriname boarder town

About hundreds of Brazilian and Chinese in Suriname have got military protection in the barracks of Albina, a boarder town about 140 kilometers from the Suriname capital: Paramaribo. The foreigners are not safe in this area due to a quarrel between inland locals, the Marron, and a Brazilian which got out of hand.

A local residence died yesterday morning from a knife wound injury inflicted by the Brazilian. Hundreds of villagers took revenge and injured 13 Brazilians, who are currently being cared for in hospitals in French-Guyana and Paramaribo.

A marauding mob of between 100 till 500 people were vandalizing the entire area. Seven people, amongst them women, are severely injured. Twenty Brazilian women have reported rape. A shopping complex, a hotel, a fireworks depot and a gasstation were set on fire, and Chinese shops were plundered and set on fire.

Minister of Justice, Chandrikapersad Santokhi, and his colleague minister of Defense, Ivan Fernald, held a pres conference announcing that: ”Military personnel, police, firefighters and paramedics have been sent to the boarder area. French expertise has been called in to track down the culprits.” Firefighters from the neighboring French town, Saint-Laurent-du-Maroni, are also offering their assistance. The police have arrested 4 people till thus far.

In Dublin: Chinese brothels set to open up across Ireland

The Chinese brothels that have opened up in Dublin are set to take off across the country following a decision by the Director of Public Prosecutions not to prosecute two establishments operating in the capital.

As part of a Garda investigation, officers raided both establishments and in one found a man naked on a massage table.

Detectives traced the organisation of the two brothels in Dun Laoghaire to another brothel operating in the Fairview area of the north city. There they found a Chinese man in his 50s who had extensive operating details for the brothels which have sprung up across Dublin in the past two years. Most appear to be centrally organised and offer similar services.

However, following revelations in this newspaper, the women working in the brothels stopped openly offering their services and, it is understood, when a detective asked what services were on offer the girl in question made no reply other than “massage”.

The use of the euphemism rather than the open offer of sexual services appears to be the point on which the DPP has decided that it would not be possible to prosecute the cases in court.

The three young women and middle-aged man have been informed that charges are not to be brought.

As a result it seems that the traditional laws against prostitution in Ireland have fallen and so long as prostitutes do not openly offer services directly to clients at brothels they are free to operate.

The remaining vice laws that can be used concern only the promotion and making of earnings from prostitution contained in two acts of the Oireachtas passed in 1993 and 1997. These laws were used in combination to prosecute the magazine In Dublin in 2000 after it was found to be making €400,000 a year in advertising revenue from brothels in the city.

Since then the advertising of brothels has moved to the internet, though one publication in Ireland still carries up to three pages of adverts for Chinese “massage” centres.

Ironically, the new prostitution operations in Ireland have largely pushed aside the indigenous sex workers, particularly in Dublin. A former prostitute in Dublin who spoke to the Sunday Independent said that the Government and gardai are operating a form of discrimination against Dublin street walkers, who are regularly arrested.

The offence of soliciting or importuning in a street or public place for the purposes of prostitution under the 1993 Criminal Justice (Sexual Offences) Act is still regularly prosecuted by gardai, generally resulting in fines or short terms of imprisonment.

Despite these minor cases no major prosecution appears to be under consideration into the very major organised brothel operations in Ireland which are generally controlled from abroad.

Chinese prostitute battered to death by Bangladeshi driver

Dubai: A driver has denied intentionally killing a prostitute, claiming he defended himself when she tried to strangle him after they quarrelled over her fees.

“I did not kill her premeditatedly…she offered to have sex for Dh25 but we fought over her fees. She pushed me and tried to strangle me. I almost suffocated…I grabbed the first thing I found and battered her head to force her to let go of me because I needed to breathe,” said the 24-year-old Bangladeshi driver when he defended himself before the Dubai Court of First Instance.

Prosecutors charged the suspect, M.R., with the premeditated murder of Chinese sex worker L.M. and stealing her mobile phone.

The suspect pleaded not guilty and argued before Presiding Judge Fahmi Mounir: “She tried to kill me and I acted in self defence…”

Advocate Eisa Bin Haidar volunteered to defend M.R., when Presiding Judge Mounir asked if any lawyers present in the courtroom were ready to represent the suspect.

An Emirati police captain testified that the woman’s body was found in a building in Naif.

Covered in blood

“We reached the flat and discovered that the Chinese woman, in her thirties, had been battered to death … blood covered the floor and surrounding walls. Preliminary investigations unveiled that she succumbed two days before. A special investigation team was formed and combed the area until a suspect was arrested for possessing the woman’s stolen mobile phone. He claimed that L.M. gave him the phone,” the captain testified.

Records said the alleged murder was unveiled after neighbours complained to the building’s watchman that a bad smell was coming from the victim’s flat.

The trial continues.

Man rapes teenager who raped his son

An Azeri man has been arrested after footage of him allegedly raping a teenager who abused his son was discovered.

Police in Azerbaijan’s capital Baku were investigating the distribution of child pornography when they were alerted to what appears to be a strange case of vigilantism.

According to news website aysor.am a 17-year-old teenager is accused of luring the man’s 8-year-old boy into a van, before assaulting and raping him. It is reported that a passerby witnessed the incident then also attacked the boy – threatening to tell everyone about the “shameful acts”.

The child’s father, along with a group of relatives, allegedly tracked down the first rapist and ‘revenge-raped’ him – while filming the attack on a mobile phone.

The camera phone footage was then distributed in Baku before being found by police.

Both men are now in custody.

In Canada: All men watch porn, scientists find

Scientists at the University of Montreal were conducting a study comparing the views of men in their 20s who had never been exposed to pornography with regular users.  But their project stumbled at the first hurdle when they failed to find a single man who had not been seen it.

“We started our research seeking men in their 20s who had never consumed pornography,” said Professor Simon Louis Lajeunesse. “We couldn’t find any.”  Although hampered in its original aim, the study did examined the habits of those young men who used pornography – which would appear to be all of them.

Prof Lajeunesse interviewed 20 heterosexual male university students who consumed pornography, and found on average, they first watched pornography when they were 10 years old.  Around 90 per cent of consumption was on the internet, while 10 per cent of material came from video stores.

Single men watched pornography for an average of 40 minutes, three times a week, while those in relationships watched it 1.7 times a week for around 20 minutes.  The study found that men watched pornography that matched their own image of sexuality, and quickly discarded material they found offensive or distasteful.

Prof Lajeunesse said pornography did not have a negative effect on men’s sexuality.  “Not one subject had a pathological sexuality,” he said. “In fact, all of their sexual practices were quite conventional.  “Pornography hasn’t changed their perception of women or their relationship, which they all want to be as harmonious and fulfilling as possible,” he added.

In New Zealand: Opotiki teens jailed for raping Japanese tourist

A Japanese tourist was brutally raped and robbed in her bedroom by two teenage gang prospects, as her Opotiki host family watched television in another room.

Today her attackers Ranginui Rahi, 18, and Mark Hati, 16, both of Opotiki, were convicted and sentenced in Whakatane District Court to nine years’ imprisonment for rape and sexual violation. Judge Peter Rollo also sentenced them to four years’ jail for aggravated robbery to be served concurrently.

“It was a disgusting, brutal, degrading crime – a prolonged and violent attack on a young Japanese tourist to our country,” Judge Rollo said. He said Hati and Rahi had damaged their 22-year-old victim’s mana as well as physically injuring her internally and externally. “You treated her with degrading violence for your own sexual pleasure.”

Flanked by police officers, the teenagers stood with blank faces and hands clasped in front of them as the judge told how they broke into the Ford Street house on the night of August 31.

Rahi was armed with a baseball bat while Hati had a piece of firewood. Judge Rollo said they saw the host family watching TV and crept into the girl’s room to steal a laptop they had seen through the window.

Finding her in the room, they shut the door and each raped her several times and forced her to perform oral sex on them, all the while threatening her and searching the room for valuables, Judge Rollo said.The pair were caught by police two days later and entered guilty pleas soon after.

The judge said Hati had been prospecting for the Mongrel Mob since he was 13 and said he expected to become a patched member as a result of this offending when he was released from prison.

Detective Senior Sergeant Greg Standen said police would convey the outcome to the victim, who was still in New Zealand, as soon as she could be contacted and they had also been in touch with the Japanese Consulate.

Sexy protest agains sex at the university

Yesterday, in the Ukraine, there was a protest against sexual intimidation at universities. But instead of writing texts on flags and posters, a few very nice looking female students were putting on a show, in front of the ministery of Science in Kiev, about what sexual harrasment in higher education really is.

The protest was organized by the task force Femen, who act on behalf of the womens rights.

The protest was very visual. For example a nice blond student with an extremely short skirt and high heels bends over a “professor”, while she simulates an oral sexual act. Next to her another student with high red boots is taken from behind.

Sexual intimidation is only the tip of the iceberg. In the big cities of the Ukraine, sextourism is thriving, while a lot of female students work as prostitutes. Because of the insufficient scholarships, and rising prices, and limited carreer possibilities a lot of university students work as prostitutes.

“Most of the women are ashamed of their situation”, tells Ana Hutson of Fremen. “There are barely any good jobs for graduates. The girls see luxurious cars and expensive villas, and also want to live like that. They enter the prositution on their free will.”

Chinese workers living in Angola targeted by gangs

Chinese businessmen in Angola said Sunday that armed gangs are staging “mafia-style” attacks on their workers, calling for the local government to deploy more police to fight crime.

“In the last three months, everyday I have gotten reports from Chinese targeted by robbery, rape and beatings. The criminals are so cruel that they make me feel horrible,” said Xu Ning, the head of the Chinese Business Council in Luanda, who has lived in the Angolan capital for more than 10 years.

Xu told the Global Times that gunmen took away his newly bought Mitsubishi truck Saturday near a police station. “The robbers are not afraid of the police at all,” Xu said. “Some police offices only have one policeman, and they themselves are frightened by the gunmen, not to mention helping us.”

“These are not just normal robberies. … They are planned, like mafia-style attacks. The gangs go first to inspect premises, and then they go back with AK-47s,” said Eddie Zhang, head of the Shanghai Urban Construction Group, the company building Luanda’s new football stadium for the 2010 Africa Cup of Nations.

Zhang said his staff had not had any problems, but he had warned his workers to take extra care. More than 40,000 Chinese workers are employed in Angola, around 90 percent on construction sites. Language, cultural barrier, and the habit of carrying cash, seem to be the reasons they are targeted.

Xu said the largest amount robbed he knew of was $700,000. “As the Chinese seldom resist, the hijackers became ever bolder,” he added. According to Xu, Angolans are allowed to carry guns, but foreigners who are not entitled to permanent residency are not.

A spokesman for the Chinese embassy in Luanda said that they were aware of incidents against Chinese nationals and were working with Angolan authorities to resolve the problem.

Not only in Angola are Chinese nationals facing a rise in violent attacks, theft and extortion, according to Xinhua, but also in Kyrgyzstan. Several Chinese were injured in burglaries and road robberies in which they were attacked with sticks and guns, said a statement released by the Chinese embassy Friday.

Having been to more than 20 African countries, Liu Hongwu, director of the Institute of African Studies at Zhejiang Normal University, told the Global Times ways of looking after oneself abroad.

“First, you should learn about consular protection, and know where and how to get help when an emergency occurs; second, you should have enough knowledge of the culture, religions and laws in the country and make sure you do not go against them. Finally, it never hurts to be cautious, cautious and cautious, especially when you know the place is not safe,” Liu said.
