A Delhi man has been detained by police for allegedly luring a 22-year-old woman to India from Uzbekistan, before holding her captive and raping her for six months, local media report.

The man, known only as Sonu alias Sumit, was charged with rape and "immoral trafficking" on Sunday, The Times of India reports.

Sonu allegedly met the woman online and while posing as a senior IT executive, offered her a job in India. After meeting her at the airport, he drove her to a house in the Mehrauli neighborhood of Delhi.

"Sonu took her passport and money, claiming that he needed to keep them as a security deposit. He then moved in with the woman and raped her for nearly half a year," a police officer told the Hindustan Times.

Sonu also reportedly forced her into prostitution and threatened her if she tried to leave the house. Eventually, the woman got in touch with a lawyer and filed a complaint with the police on Friday. Sonu was arrested after a medical examination of the woman confirmed the rape. Police are now investigating if he was part of a larger human trafficking ring.

A Russian newspaper has reported that "over a hundred men" were recently detained in the Chechen Republic and at least three killed because of their possible homosexuality. A spokesman for the Chechen leader has denied the reports.

The report on alleged detentions and killings was published on Saturday by Novaya Gazeta.

Citing "a big number" of unnamed sources in the Chechen interior ministry, president's administration, prosecutor's office and the local LGBT community, it said "mass detentions" of men who are gay or are "suspected" of being gay have occurred in Chechnya recently.

The report resonated in the media and social media. On Sunday, an LGBT activist in St. Petersburg reportedly handcuffed himself to the Akhmat Kadyrov bridge, named after the former Chechen leader, to protest the alleged persecution in Chechnya.

Racism against Aborigines in Australia is widespread and "deeply disturbing", a United Nations envoy said Monday, urging the government to work more closely with indigenous people.

UN special rapporteur Victoria Tauli-Corpuz has been on a 15-day visit at Canberra's invitation to check on progress made since the last such trip in 2009.

She said she found racism against the indigenous population widespread. "As I have travelled across the country, I have found the prevalence of racism against Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples deeply disturbing," she said.

"This manifests itself in different ways, ranging from public stereotyped portrayals of them as violent criminals, welfare profiteers and poor parents and to discrimination in the administration of justice."

Officers from the Russian Center for Syrian Reconciliation took patronage over an orphanage located in the Syrian city of Aleppo, according to RIA Novosti.

The damage wrought during the Battle for Aleppo extends beyond the ruins of what was once Syria's economic capital. Countless children lost their parents and found themselves alone, with no escape. Their plight compelled officers from the Russian Center for Syrian Reconciliation of Warring Parties to take responsibility for a local orphanage, RIA Novosti reported.

It took a year for war to arrive in what had been Syria's largest city, and when it did, the struggle between government troops and Islamist militants literally ripped the city in two. Between July of 2012 and December of 2016, Aleppo was rocked by the deadly clash as the opposing sides vied for control of its streets.

The Iraqi Army keeps press coverage of its operation in Mosul "censored and suppressed," only allowing access to certain locations, RT's Murad Gazdiev, reporting from the scene, says, as the UN warns of soaring civilian casualties.

When Murad Gazdiev arrived in the embattled city to cover the latest events, Iraqi officers warned his crew not to film what is being done to the city.

Gazdiev gave as an example an operation to dismantle a bomb, apparently left behind by Islamic State (IS, formerly ISIS/ISIL) militants in one of the houses.

Iraqi troops made the decision to blow up the building rather than demine it. They also did not allow the media to cover the event.

We will fulfill our duty wherever we are sent," said Sachenyuk, when asked about the possibility of a trip to Syria.

Nigeria's water bill could criminalize drinking water for millions

Lagos, Nigeria, is surrounded by an abundance of water that millions of people, in Africa's most populous city, don't have access to. And now, it may become criminal to try and access it because the coastal city is in the middle of a water crisis.

Only 1 in 10 people have access to the water that the state utility provides. Everyone else is on their own; either by drilling their own boreholes or fetching water from lakes or rivers. If you can afford to pay local water vendors (and you'll PAY), you do that. But buyer beware- water is often sold in unsanitary jerry cans, bottles, and cellophane sachets.
