according to this story, back in may in london, 2 men ran over a veteran soldier, and then dragged him into the middle of the street and started hacking at him with a meat cleaver and a knife, almost decapitating him. the men were apparently disgusted that the soldier had taken part in wars against muslims.
the two men are now in court, and the gruesome story is being relived for the jury.
i find this story disgusting. i hope that the men responsible for this are held responsible. i hope that as the hearing progresses the news continues to follow the status, and i am able to hear of the outcome.

international law: pakistani activist malala given Sakharov prize for bravery against taliban
link: http://www.cnn.com/2013/11/20/world/europe/eu-malala-prize/index.html?hpt=wo_mid
Malala Yousafzai, a teenager who survived an assassination attempt by the taliban due to her voice regarding education was recently honored by receiving the Sakharov prize. Malala, of course, externalized and pleaded for help for undereducated countries.
i simply blogged about this because i was impressed by her during the interviews i've seen and she has an amazing story.

international law: british spy found in padlocked gym bag probably died by accident, police say
link: http://www.foxnews.com/world/2013/11/13/uk-police-spy-whose-body-was-found-in-padlocked-gym-bag-probably-died-by/
basically a british spy was found dead in his apartment. he was naked, stuffed inside a gym bag, which was also padlocked shut. the government said that it was accidental and not related to his work.
my opinion: really? was he practicing his escape routine?

international law: india supreme court investigates ex-judge for sexual harassment
link: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-asia-india-24909511
Apparently, while interning with an Indian Supreme Court Judge, graduate Stella James was sexually harassed. She claims that in December, while in a hotel room, the judge harassed her in a non physical way.
The court has set up a panel of 3 that will review the claims and come to a conclusion. The committee is headed by senior Justice RM Lodha, and includes other Justices as well. They indicate they cannot take the accusations lightly.
It will be interesting to see exactly how she was assaulted, since she did indicate that it did not result in physical injuries. I think that it is hard for her to stand up against someone so influential and prestigious, so I am glad that she is doing that.
