Three Teen Sisters Killed Their Father after Years Of Molestation In Russia

A case against three teenage sisters who killed their father after what lawyers say was years of beatings and sexual abuse has sparked protest and highlighted Russia’s dire record on domestic violence. Krestina, Angelina and Maria Khachaturyan have been in custody or under house arrest since July 2018, when they stabbed father Mikhail to death. The sisters — who were 17, 18 and 19 at the time of the killing — face between eight and 20 years in prison if they are convicted of conspiring to murder as a group.
But lawyers and activists say the teenagers were forced to act to save their own lives, pointing to poor legal protections for abuse victims in a country where punishments for domestic violence have been scaled back in recent years. Women’s rights campaigners insist the sisters should receive psychological rehabilitation instead of a prison sentence and demand the father be tried posthumously. The Khachaturyan sisters were beaten “practically every day” by their father, who also regularly sexually abused them, lawyer Alexey Liptser told AFP. He also shot at them with an air gun, he added. A neighbour and relative had approached police but their reports were not taken seriously. According to Liptser, Mikhail Khachaturyan had “good relationships” with people in law enforcement. In 2016, Krestina tried to commit suicide but her sisters saved her. Lawyers say last year the father took each girl into his room one at a time and used pepper spray on them, almost suffocating the eldest. Liptser said the two older girls “decided that if they did not act, one of them would die”.
They waited until he fell asleep and stabbed him dozens of times. Their trial is expected to begin in mid-August. Women’s rights campaigners say Russia’s legal system effectively leaves women without any state protection for abuse in the home. There is no separate law covering domestic violence in cases where the victim is living with the attacker, but rather it is included under the offense of battery.
Russian President Vladimir Putin signed a decree softening the punishment of abuse in families in 2017, making a first offence punishable by only a fine instead of a jail sentence. Domestic violence is rarely discussed publicly and rights campaigners say police often ignore cases. Instead women who commit violence while protecting themselves from an abuser face heavy jail sentences. More than 160,000 people have signed an online petition to free the sisters and campaigners have held small protests outside the court where pre-trial hearings have taken place. “The girls were living in hell,” said Anna Rivina, who runs a centre providing free legal help for victims of domestic violence. “They saved their lives like that because they knew there will be no help from anyone — not from the police, the neighbours or teachers,” she said. “Domestic abuse against women is not recognised by the state, there is no lawful mechanism to protect these people.” She partly blames Russian state media for only covering domestic abuse stories “when there are injuries, corpses or limbs cut off”. Rivina referred to the widely-covered case of Margarita Gracheva, whose husband took her to a forest where he tortured her and chopped off her hands in December 2017. Her complaints to police had been ignored. Alyona Popova, one of Russia’s leading women’s rights activists, said a guilty sentence for the sisters would have “catastrophic” consequences for other victims of domestic violence. “There will be more fatalities,” she said, adding that the trial will show “if the state supports abusers or victims”. The outcry around the case, she said, will affect similar ongoing trials. In one case, 19-year-old Daria Ageny faces nine years in prison for using a pencil-sharpening knife to fend off a male attacker. In another trial in southern Russia, 28-year-old Kristina Shydukova faces 15 years for killing her abusive partner with a knife during a regular beating. Online petitions calling for charges to be dropped against the two women have gathered a total of almost 300,000 signatures. Activists expressed hope that campaigns were raising awareness of violence against women in Russia. Rivina said such efforts had led to small victories in the past. Last year a court in far eastern Nakhodka overturned the three-year sentence of Galina Katorova, who killed her husband after long-term abuse and complaints to police that were ignored. She served over a year behind bars but her release was “seen as a victory,” Rivina said. “Now if we defend the Khachaturyan girls, it will also be a victory,” she said.

Pakistan's Wor;d Cup Bears Striking similarities With Their 1992 Compaign

Twenty-seven years and a generation apart, Pakistan’s World Cup bears striking similarities with their 1992 campaign — when they started slowly but ended up lifting the trophy in Melbourne. An identical sequence of wins and losses, and other eerie parallels, have struck a chord with millions of fans who believe that Pakistan could be set to come out on top once again. In both World Cups, Pakistan started with a one-sided defeat to the West Indies, before recovering to win their second game — against Zimbabwe in 1992, and England this time around. At both tournaments, their third game was rained off and they then went on to lose their next two games and win the following two. Not only that, but the final win in both sequences was against New Zealand, who were unbeaten in both 1992 and 2019 until they ran into Pakistan. “It was same, the same sequence of results, points and then we wanted Australia to beat the West Indies for us to qualify,” said legendary fast bowler Wasim Akram, who played for Pakistan in 1992. “Then also we beat New Zealand — who was unbeaten then too. A lot of similarities, I hope the end result is also similar now and we win the World Cup,” said Wasim, now a TV commentator. In another similarity, Wasim was the leading wicket-taker in 1992 with 18 and another Pakistan left-arm pacer, Mohammad Amir, is second on the bowler’s chart with 16 so far. Pakistan win the match number 7 with five balls remaining. They won the game 7 with five balls remaining in WC 1992 too. This is getting unbelievable!! #CWC19 12.5K 11:27 PM - Jun 26, 2019 “I am not sure if players are following all these (discussions) but this should motivate them,” said Wasim. But Pakistan skipper Sarfaraz Ahmed played down any parallels with 1992. “That’s history but after we won against New Zealand someone told me that even in 1992 we chased down New Zealand’s target with five balls to spare,” said Sarfaraz, whose team reached their 238-run target in 49.1 overs on Wednesday. Fans are now hoping that the similarities don’t end there, and even that they continue beyond the World Cup. “Imran Khan was Pakistan captain in 1992 World Cup and 26 years after that triumph he became country’s prime minister, so Sarfaraz should also join politics and become premier in 2045,” said one comment on social media.

When It Comes To Global Stardom, It does not Get Any bigger Than Michael Jackson

When it comes to global stardom, it doesn’t get any bigger than Michael Jackson. To say that MJ was a legendary performer would be an understatement. The late King of Pop captivated fans all over the world for years with his unmistakable vocals, slick dance moves one-of-a-kind charisma on-stage, making him an icon many still miss watching dearly. June 25 marks MJ’s 10th death anniversary. To commemorate the musical genius, here are 10 iconic moments from MJ’s life, as compiled from Biography.com, that made him the best-selling recording artist of all time. 1. ‘Thriller’ This iconic album debuted in November 1983 and included some of MJ’s biggest singles to date, like Billie Jean and Beat It. As of 2018, Thriller had sold at least 66 million albums around the world. The Jackson 5 Years This was actually how he kicked off his music career: as part of a band with his siblings. The Jackson 5 are Hall of Fame-rs, credited with shaping rock n’ roll history forever.
3. Dangling his son from a balcony
Whilst on a visit to Berlin, MJ drew ire when dangled his child Blanket out of his hotel window. He was holding the child with an arm around his neck. Later on, he called it a “terrible mistake.” 4. The moonwalk and glove
The Black or White hit maker’s signature move was revealed to the world on the 1983 television special Motown 25: Yesterday, Today, Forever. It was a moonwalk followed by a one-handed pelvic thrust. 5. All the headlines
No one could command a headline like MJ, even if those headlines claimed that he bought the Elephant Man’s bones and slept in an oxygen chamber to stay young. Or accused him of being a child molester, for that matter. 6. Record eight Grammy wins
His solo breakthrough, Off the Wall, has sold more than 20 million copies worldwide and netted eight Grammy Awards, including the elusive Album of the Year. 7. The relationship with Lisa Marie Presley
The couple announced their relationship at the MTV VMAs and got fans reeling with their public lip-lock. MJ’s legacy long outlasted the actual marriage, of course, which stuck around for a mere two years. 8. All the fashion
Few other artists have made fashion such an iconic part of their music and stardom. The fedora. The white socks. The statement sparkling jackets. MJ’s defining fashion moments continue to dominate clothing today. 9. Bubble, his pet chimp
Bubbles was MJ’s favourite pet chimpanzee who lived with him at the Neverland ranch. A statue of Bubbles and MJ can be found at the Alstrup Fearney Museum of Contemporary Art in Oslo, Norway. 10. “We Are the World”
As part of his humanitarian efforts, MJ created a unifying single for the ‘USA For Africa’ campaign to end famine in African countries. He composed the track with Lionel Richie, which went on to become the fastest selling pop single in history. The promotion and sales from We Are the World are over $140 million today.

Muslim Man beaten and killed by Hindus Whike forcing Him To chant Hindu slogan

Indian police are searching for around a dozen people who tortured a Muslim man for hours, forcing him to shout Hindu slogans and capturing it on a video which has gone viral since the victim died. A 10-minute video shows scores of men beating Tabrez Ansari in the latest suspected case of religious violence to stain India’s secular image. The mob also forced Ansari to shout “Jai Shri Ram” — Hail Lord Ram — a slogan widely used by Hindu hardliners. Ansari died in hospital on Saturday, four days after he was attacked, tied to a pole, then beaten and punched over accusations that he carried out a burglary in Jharkhand state. “We have arrested the main accused for the murder, but a dozen people from the mob are on the run,” Kartik S, the Seraikela police chief, said. Kartik said the villagers accused the 24-year-old of being a thief and beat him for nearly 12-hours before he was taken into custody and then hospital. He acknowledged that the video showed Ansari being forced to shout the Hindu slogans. News of the death emerged as the Indian government rejected a US State Department report that said religious intolerance and violence against minorities has spiked under the right-wing Hindu Prime Minister Narendra Modi. An annual report on international religious freedom released by Pompeo on Friday said Hindu-groups had used "violence, intimidation, and harassment" against Muslims and low-caste Dalits in 2017 to force a religion-based national identity. @AFPhttps://au.news.yahoo.com/india-rejects-critical-us-religious-freedom-report-064600471--spt.html … India rejects critical US religious freedom report India hit out Sunday at a US report saying religious intolerance was growing under its right-wing government, setting off a new spat ahead of a visit by Secretary of State Mike Pompeo. The Express Tribune > World tribune news Muslim man beaten, forced to chant Hindu slogans succumbs to injuries Share Tweet Muslim man beaten, forced to chant Hindu slogans succumbs to injuries By AFP Published: June 24, 2019 Tweet Email NEW DELHI: Indian police are searching for around a dozen people who tortured a Muslim man for hours, forcing him to shout Hindu slogans and capturing it on a video which has gone viral since the victim died.

News of the death emerged as the Indian government rejected a US State Department report that said religious intolerance and violence against minorities has spiked under the right-wing Hindu Prime Minister Narendra Modi. The US religious freedom report said there had been growing numbers of attacks by groups claiming to protect cows — considered sacred by Hindus — on Muslims and low-caste Dalits since 2014 when Modi came to power. The foreign ministry said: “India is proud of its secular credentials, its status as the largest democracy and a pluralistic society with a longstanding commitment to tolerance and inclusion.” Dozens of people have been killed by Hindu groups over the past five years over allegations that they had slaughtered cows or eaten beef. Experts said the landslide election win in 2014 by Modi’s conservative Bharatiya Janata Party had emboldened Hindus hardliners. The BJP won an even bigger majority in May leading to fears of more communal violence. Critics have accused Modi government of turning a blind eye to vigilante attacks on minority Muslims in the name of cow protection. Modi has called the deaths “unacceptable” and called the mobs “anti-social” in his rare comments on the cases. Slaughtering cows is illegal in many Indian states and some require a licence to transport them across state borders.

Usman khalid criticised mehwish hayat for her song in film Baaji

">
Actor Osman Khalid Butt has given us another reason to stan him forever! The Janaan star, known for feminist viewpoints, took to Twitter late Friday night after self-proclaimed "social media influencer" abused actor Mehwish Hayat in his criticism on her performance in a song from an upcoming film called Baaji. "This is the language used by a 'social media influencer' for a contemporary actress while criticizing her performance in a dance number," Butt wrote. "He has the nerve to bring religion into the mix. Pehlay apni zabaan saaf karen phir deen ka dars dijiye [Introspect and improve your language first, then talk about religion," he added. Earlier, Hayat had tweeted about her cameo in "Gangster Guriya," a song from the movie Baaji. She uploaded the music video with the caption: "After 5 years another cameo that I am very proud of. R u ready for Gangster Guriya?" Twitter/Mehwish Hayat TI (@MehwishHayat)/ "A woman in control of herself & knows wat [sic] she wants," she wrote. @ItsHarriss, the social media user who abused Hayat, had written that the performance was "so heartbreaking" owing to the "nudity" and bashed "our writers our producers [for having] direction item no". "Shame on this industry tbvh," he had added. It is not easy to raise a voice in a society which is dominated by conservative and patriarchal norms. But Butt was quick to jump in and defend Hayat, saying it was "not too much to ask that you be civil in your criticism. No one is taking away your freedom of speech or your right to call out something you feel strongly against. Twitter/Osman Khalid Butt (@aClockworkObi)/Screenshot via Geo.tv "But that doesn't give you the right to tag someone and hurl obscenities & vicious abuse their way," he added. This is not the first time the actor has raised his voice for injustice with women. Earlier, he also stood up for singer-actor Meesha Shafi after she publicly accused her peer, Ali Zafar, of sexual harassment. After Meesha Shafi, more women accuse Ali Zafar of harassment Butt fearlessly stood in solidarity with Shafi despite a large number of people — and even some celebrities — maligning her character or alleging that she did so for fame or to obtain Canadian immigration. He has never shied away or shown hesitance in speaking about social issues and cases of violence against women. One thing, however, is for sure: We definitely need more people like him in the film and entertainment industry to call out abuse and sexism and make the Pakistani society a better place for women.

The most Miser Billionaire Of The World (video)



There Is Credible Evidence Linking Saudi Crown Prince to the Killing of Jamal Kihashogi- UN Expert

There is "credible evidence" linking Saudi Arabia's Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman to the killing of Saudi journalist Jamal Khashoggi last October, an independent UN rights expert said Wednesday, calling for an international investigation. In a fresh report, the UN's special rapporteur on extrajudicial, summary or arbitrary executions, Agnes Callamard, said she had "determined that there is credible evidence, warranting further investigation of high-level Saudi Officials’ individual liability, including the Crown Prince's." The report stressed that "no conclusion is made as to guilt. The only conclusion made is that there is credible evidence meriting further investigation, by a proper authority, as to whether the threshold of criminal responsibility has been met." Callamard said, for instance, she had found evidence that "Khashoggi was himself fully aware of the powers held by the Crown Prince, and fearful of him". Khashoggi, a Washington Post contributor and critic of Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, was murdered at the Saudi consulate in Istanbul on October 2. Riyadh initially said it had no knowledge of his fate but later blamed the murder on rogue agents. Saudi prosecutors have absolved the crown prince and said around two dozen people implicated in the murder are in custody, with death penalties sought against five men. Callamard has been conducting what she has described as "an independent human rights inquiry" into Khashoggi's death. UN special rapporteurs are also independent and do not speak for the world body. Moments before Khashoggi was killed and dismembered last October, two of his suspected murderers lay in wait at the kingdom’s Istanbul consulate and fretted about the task at hand, according to the UN's report. Will it “be possible to put the trunk in a bag?” asked Maher Mutreb, a Saudi intelligence officer who worked for a senior advisor to Saudi crown prince, according to the report. “No. Too heavy,” responded Salah al-Tubaigy, a forensic doctor from the Interior Ministry who would dismember and dispose of the body. He expressed hope his task would “be easy”. Tubaigy continued: “Joints will be separated. It is not a problem. The body is heavy. First time I cut on the ground. "If we take plastic bags and cut it into pieces, it will be finished. We will wrap each of them.” At the end of the exchange with Tubaigy, Mutreb asks if “the sacrificial lamb” has arrived. At no point is Khashoggi’s name mentioned but two minutes later, he enters the building. Khashoggi is ushered to the consul general’s office on the second floor where he meets Mutreb, whom he knew from when they worked together at the Saudi Embassy in London years earlier. Mutreb tells Khashoggi to send his son a mobile text message. “What should I say? See you soon? I can’t say kidnapping,” Khashoggi responds. “Cut it short,” comes the reply. “Take off your jacket.” “How could this happen in an embassy?” Khashoggi says. “I will not write anything.” “Type it, Mr. Jamal. Hurry up. Help us so that we can help you because, at the end, we will take you back to Saudi Arabia and, if you don’t help us, you know what will happen at the end; let this issue find a good end,” Mutreb says. The report says the rest of the recordings contain sounds of movement, heavy panting, and plastic sheets being wrapped, which Turkish intelligence concluded came after Khashoggi’s death as Saudi officials dismembered his body. Mutreb and 10 others are now standing trial in closed hearings in Saudi Arabia for their role in the crime. The report, which calls for Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman and other senior Saudi officials to be investigated over their liability for Khashoggi’s death, relies on recordings and forensic work conducted by Turkish investigators and information from the trials of the suspects in Saudi Arabia. The report concludes that his murder was deliberate and premeditated. The CIA and some Western countries believe the crown prince ordered the killing, which Saudi officials deny. In Wednesday's report, she said she found that the probes conducted so far by Saudi Arabia and Turkey had "failed to meet international standards regarding the investigation into unlawful deaths." She urged UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres to launch an official international criminal investigation into the case, which she said would make it possible to "build-up strong files on each of the alleged perpetrators and identify mechanisms for formal accountability, such as an ad hoc or hybrid tribunal." She also called on the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) in the United States — where Khashoggi was a resident — to open an investigation into the case if it has not already done so "and pursue criminal prosecutions within the United States, as appropriate". For her investigation, Callamard said that, among other things, she had viewed CCTV footage from inside the consulate of the killing itself. The report identified by name the 15 people she said were part of the mission to kill Khashoggi and suggested that many of them were not on the list of 11 unnamed suspects facing a closed-door trial over the murder. Wednesday's report also found that there was evidence that "Saudi Arabia deliberately used consular immunity to stall Turkey’s investigations until the crime scene could be thoroughly cleaned." "In view of my concerns regarding the fairness of the trial of the 11 suspects in Saudi Arabia, I call for the suspension of the trial," she said in the report. Saudi Arabia’s minister of state for foreign affairs, Adel al-Jubeir, rejected the investigator’s report as “nothing new”. He added in a tweet: “The report of the rapporteur in the human rights council contains clear contradictions and baseless allegations which challenge its credibility.”

Where Did Pakistan Stand 360 Years Ago In Sub Continent (video)



Tennis Star Sania Hit Back At Veena Malik After Video Of Sania And Shoib Visiting Sheesha Cafe Went Viral (videos)

Indian tennis star Sania Mirza put Pakistani actor and host Veena Malik in her place after the latter said was "actually so worried for" the former's child. The back-and-forth transpired after a picture and video of cricketer Shoaib Malik, Mirza, and other Pakistan cricketers visiting a sheesha cafe ahead of Pakistan's match against India went viral. In a series of tweets, Malik had reacted to a now-deleted fan video of the couple and other cricketers and questioned the tennis star’s parenting. She asked: "You guys took him to a sheesha place isn't it Hazardious? "Also as far as I know Archie's is all about junk food which isn't good for athletes/Boys," she added, questioning: "You must know well as you are mother and athlete yourself?" The picture and video that went viral on Sunday night started generated controversy as Pakistan faced an upsetting defeat in their match against arch-rivals India due to the players' poor performance. Mirza then shot back at the actor-model, telling her first that it was not "any of your or the rest of the world’s business cause I think I care about my son a lot more than anyone else does". She clarified that she did not take her child to the sheesha place. "Secondly I am not Pakistan cricket team’s dietician nor am I their mother or principal or teacher,” Mirza wrote. Later, in another tweet, Mirza tried to end the discussion and tweeted: “To know when they sleep, wake up and eat .. thank you for your concern though .. means a lot.” Mirza, in a now-deleted tweet, had also referred to a "'not so decent' magazine cover" of Malik, who has time and again emphatically denied its authenticity. Twitter/Sania Mirza (@MirzaSania)/Screenshot via Geo.tv Mirza, however, ended up blocking Malik, and tweeted: "Twitter cracks me up and some ppl for sure .. you guys really need other mediums of taking your frustrations out .. peace out guys it’s break time". After the match, fans alleged that Malik, Mirza, and other Pakistan cricketers were at a sheesha cafe till 2AM in the morning, hours before Pakistan’s critical match with India. However, it emerged that the video was, in fact, from Friday night (June 14) and not Saturday was alleged by fans on social media. In a statement, the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) later clarified that no player had violated curfew and returned to their hotel rooms in a timely manner the night before Pakistan’s match against India. The board added that players had gone out with their families two days before the match.

Who Will Be The First Female Moonwalker?

Photo: AFP More than fifty years after the end of the Apollo program, NASA plans to return to the Moon by 2024 as a "proving ground" to test the next generation of spacecraft ahead of an eventual crewed mission to Mars. The new program has been named Artemis after Apollo's twin-sister in Greek mythology, and the space agency has said that the mission will see the first woman to stride the lunar surface. So, who will she be? No one knows for sure, but it's a likely bet the candidate will be selected from among NASA's current roster of 12 female astronauts. They're aged between 40 and 53, and are former military pilots, medical doctors and scientists who were picked from among thousands of applicants since the late 1990s. Predicting who will join Neil Armstrong in the annals of history isn't an exact science, but several former astronauts and experts interviewed by AFP say the proximity of the deadline mean it probably won't be a new recruit. "Now personally, I'd be okay with flying a rookie astronaut to the Moon," former astronaut Eileen Collins, who flew and commanded Space Shuttles in the 1990s and 2000s, told AFP. "But if you have enough astronauts who have already flown, they know how they're going to react in space. "Some go up there and they have symptoms that might interfere with their ability to do the work. But you don't know who that is." Ken Bowersox, a senior official at NASA, agreed. "I think it will be better to send people who have had at least one flight," he told AFP. That objective will be easier than ever before because there have never been so many women astronauts. When NASA was first established in 1958 it only recruited from the military, which was at the time exclusively male. All 12 moonwalkers between 1969 and 1972 were men, and it wasn't until 1983 that Sally Ride became the first American woman sent to space. Scientists and soldiers The four women of the 21st class of astronauts, recruited in 2013, represent a good mix of youth and experience. Currently between the ages of 40 and 41, they will all have made their first space forays between now and 2020. Anne McClain, an ex-army helicopter pilot, will be in the International Space Station (ISS) until the end of June. Well spoken, with a self-assured gaze and a light smile, she embodies the ineffable "right stuff" of NASA's early recruits. Also currently in the ISS is Christina Koch, an engineer and passionate mountain climber. She will soon beat the record for the longest time a woman has been in space, at 11 months. Back in March, the pair almost conducted the first all-female space walk, but a lack of a proper fitting spacesuit meant McClain had to give her place up for her male colleague Nick Hague. "I think Christina Koch or Anne McClain would be my two top picks," said Janet Ivey, the presenter of a children's show on space and a governor of the National Space Society. But their two female colleagues from the same class, Jessica Meir, a marine biologist who specializes in penguins and geese, and former F/A 18 fighter pilot Nicole Mann, are also highly qualified. They are both in the middle of their training to go to the ISS. In a 2016 interview, all four declared themselves ready to go to Mars if the opportunity presented itself. It's hard to imagine them turning down a trip to the Moon. Especially since NASA has long "appreciated the leadership skills that came along with test pilots," according to Kent Romninger, the former chief of the astronaut office from 2002 to 2006. "Suni," as she's known, has piloted about thirty different aircraft in her military career. Two other women, Serena Aunon-Chancellor and Kate Rubins, have also flown to space recently. The other five haven't flown since 2010 but remain on active duty. There are five women in the 2017 batch but they have yet to complete their initial training. They're not ruled out yet, but the calendar isn't on their side - especially since NASA tends to stick to a cycle of astronauts once their order is set, says Michael Lopez-Alegria, a former astronaut who spent 20 years with the agency. When it comes down to the final call, though, the process "is fairly opaque," he conceded. In Houston, the chief astronaut will be keen to build a team whose profiles will be complementary, a mix of ex-military and scientific backgrounds, and of different personalities. The mission forsees a four-member crew, two of whom will walk the Moon. Why not have two women?
