A court in France ordered the case of a 29-year-old man who went on trial for having sex with an 11-year-old girl to be sent back for further investigation after outrage over the initial decision not to try the man for rape.

There was anger when the prosecutor's office in the town of Pontoise, a north-western Parisian suburb, put the father of two on trial for charges of "sexual abuse of a minor under 15," rather than for rape.

While the girl's family filed a complaint for rape, the public prosecutor's office decided that that there was no evidence to suggest that the sexual relationship had been obtained by "threat, violence, surprise or coercion."

The crime of "sexual assault" is punishable in France by five years in prison, while the rape of a minor under 15 is punishable with up to 20 years behind bars.

Italian police have arrested two more Nigerian immigrants in their investigation into the brutal murder of Pamela Mastropietro, the Roman 18-year-old whose dismembered remains were found inside two suitcases outside Macerata in central Italy earlier this month.

Shortly after the murder, law enforcement officials arrested Innocent Oseghale, a 29-year-old Nigerian drug dealer, and afterward discovered blood-stained clothes, large kitchen knives, a cleaver, and other items belonging to the murdered woman in the man's apartment. They immediately began a search for the man's accomplices since various elements of the crime indicated the participation of more than one person.

On Saturday, police arrested two more Nigerian asylum-seekers, 22-year-old Lucky Desmond and 27-year-old Awelima Lucky, respectively living in Montecassiano and Macerata. One of the two men was reportedly fleeing toward the northern Italian region of Lombardy, which made the arrests all the more pressing.

The prosecutor of Macerata is charging the three men with murder, along with the sale of narcotics and the desecration and concealment of a corpse, based in part on a coroner's report delivered Friday evening, which provided further details of the murder.

In the analysis of the woman's mutilated corpse, investigators found that certain body parts were missing, including the victim's neck and a portion of the genital organs.

87-year-old Belgian man violently assaulted for criticizing Islam


Voice of Europe

belgian man
A man with a 'migrant background', attacked the 87-year-old Hendrik Keuleers and left him for dead last year. Since the elderly man started criticising Islam he is no longer safe in his own house.

Keuleers, who lives in the Belgian city of Ghent, is known for his window posters that criticise bull fights, Spain's prime minister and Islam.

It wasn't the first incident for the old man. Belgian media say his house has been terrorised for years after he started criticising Islam with self-made window posters.

His flower pots were destroyed, his windows were smashed, and last year it resulted in the latest attack, during which he was kicked off his bicycle.

Re: Harvey Weinstein lawsuit...AG says 'we have never seen anything as despicable'

After filing suit against Harvey and Bob Weinstein and their company, Eric Schneiderman describes 'flagrant' pattern of misconduct -- Weinstein suit may be turning point, experts say: 'They'll bring him down'

New York attorney general Eric Schneiderman said on Monday that a pervasive pattern of sexual misconduct and corporate enabling at the Weinstein Company was some of the worst his office has investigated.

"We have never seen anything as despicable as what we've seen right here," Schneiderman told reporters, a day after his office filed a 39-page complaint against the company, Harvey Weinstein and his brother Bob. The suit is part of an effort to ensure adequate funds are put aside from the impending $500m sale of the company, and to ensure an end to the pattern of abuse.
"We have to ensure that this all cleaned up and that any deal that removes the two Weinstein brothers, but essentially leaves the rest of the management team intact, should be unacceptable to the purchasers," Schneiderman said.
The complaint, brought by the civil rights division, alleges a pattern of systematic sexual coercion that involved company employees as targets of sexual harassment or as complicit in it.

There is no excuse for the recent "barbaric attack on Donetsk," Russian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Maria Zakharova said, adding that Kiev broke "all moral norms" in attacking civilians during the night with Grad missiles.

In the early hours of February 3, Donetsk was
"heavily bombarded by the Ukrainian military," Zakharova said. "The city's residential areas were shelled dozens of times with heavy guns, including 'Uragan' and 'Grad' multiple rocket launchers. As a result, several civilians were killed and many - children among them - suffered wounds," the Russian diplomat stated Friday during a press briefing, as quoted by Interfax.
"This barbaric attack cannot be justified. By its actions, Kiev has violated not only the Geneva Convention for the Protection of Civilian Persons in Time of War, dated August 12, 1949, but has also broken all moral norms," the Russian diplomat said. "Only barbarians can bombard a sleeping city and kill innocent people. We have no other name for those who carried out this attack," she added.

The US and Germany are set to become the locations of two new NATO headquarters, according to officials. The German command center would reportedly be responsible for deploying troops after a possible incursion from Russia.

Speaking to Bloomberg on condition of anonymity, NATO officials said the US will become home to a command center focused on maritime security in the Atlantic.

Defense News, also citing officials, said the headquarters will be a national office run by Americans until activated by NATO in a time of crisis. At which point, the command would be under the control of NATO's supreme commander.

The official cited by Defense News hinted that the new US headquarters would be "not far" from the location of the old Supreme Allied Commander Atlantic office, suggesting that Norfolk, Virginia, is a likely location. However, the day-to-day operations for maritime security will continue to be run from the Allied Maritime Command (MARCOM) in Northwood, UK, according to Defense News.

Watch out for distorted data advises Kremlin on reports of Russians killed in Syria

Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov warned journalists not to be misled by distorted data, following multiple reports emerging of Russians killed in Syria.

Peskov added that the Kremlin doesn't have specific data on the number of Russians other than servicemen present in Syria. However, the presidential spokesman did not rule out the possibility that some Russian nationals other than official military personnel might be currently in Syria, as there are no travel restrictions barring private trips to the country.
"We do not have concrete detailed information that would allow us to draw any conclusions. It cannot be ruled out that Russian citizens can be present in Syria. They are not Russian military servicemen, that's all we can say," Peskov told journalists on Wednesday, adding that "our citizens remain Russian citizens whatever happens."
He added that Russia does not plan to impose any legislative restrictions on citizens' private trips to Syria. "There are no restrictions or legislative prohibitions on such trips," Peskov said.
