On Monday, before doing my matter in Court, I witnessed the trial of two rape cases. In the 1st case, records available before the Court shows that the Prosecution was lackadaisical and grossly incompetent. They missed out on too many crucial things, including medical report.
The accused was charged on a 2 count charge of which rape was among the charges. He is accused of raping a 21-year-old lady. Apparently, he did it. However, when taking his plea, he pleaded not guilty. The lawyer defending him was brilliant. He destroyed the evidence of the
Prosecution. By the time he was done with his cross examination, the alleged rapist was smiling. He was sure of walking out of prison a free man. The questions put forward by his lawyer during cross examination were such that, the Court found it difficult to convict him.
That was not so in the 2nd case. The accused person (a rapist), defile a child of 10 years of age, using his finger. The fact of the case has it that he invited the little girl into his room. The little girl innocently obliged with a godly mindset and conscience.
This rapist now instructed the little girl to remove her clothes that he wants to 'bath' her.

She did not question why the rapist wanted to bath her.

Seeing that the little girl was naked, the rapist tried repeatedly to force his penis into the little girl's vagina.
For obvious reasons, he could not penetrate. Not stopping there, he used his middle finger to penetrate the little girl, causing severe bruises.... She currently still receiving treatment.

Well, when he was brought to Court, to the surprise of his lawyer, he admitted twice.
He pleaded twice. From all the evidence available before the Court, the rapist was just returning from prison for the offence of rape. He said he is addicted to defiling little girls. The Court sentence him to 20 years in prison.

AFGHANISTAN IN THE EYES OF INTERNATIONAL LAW

The granting or refusal to grant recognition to a government is not purely a matter of international politics and diplomacy. There are some legal aspects to it and legal consequences arising out of such recognition.
For a start, the problem is not with regard to the 'state' of Afghanistan, but with regard to the 'government' of Afghanistan. In international law, the continuity of a state terminates only when its population or territory undergo changes.
As we can see, Afghanistan is enjoying continuity in character despite the fact that its internal legal regime has fallen into the hands of Taliban militants.

On this International Day Commemorating the Victims of Acts of Violence based on Religion or Belief, I stand in solidarity with all victims of persecution, wherever they may be.
In a year when, among other challenges, the COVID-19 pandemic has led to limitations in the exercise of and put respect for human rights to a test, we continue to witness how religious intolerance leads to individuals across the world being harassed
threatened, detained, scapegoated, and killed for their religion or for holding humanist and/or atheist beliefs. Individuals have also been discriminated in accessing health services and social protection measures on religion or belief grounds.

The Council today decided to prolong the framework for restrictive measures against cyber-attacks threatening the EU or its member states for another year, until 18 May 2022.

.
This framework allows the EU to impose targeted restrictive measures on persons or entities involved in cyber-attacks which cause a significant impact, and constitute an external threat to the EU or its member states.
Restrictive measures can also be imposed in response to cyber-attacks against third states or international organisations where such measures are considered necessary to achieve the objectives of the Common Foreign and Security Policy (CFSP).

Today, I addressed students of Government Girls Secondary school...and told them that no amount of bride price can sufficiently quantify the worth of any woman. I also told those promising las that marriage is not an achievement.
I further told them that they had a duty to succeed in life, make their parents proud and, the society better. I made it clear to them that every girl or woman out there can succeed without the help of a man. I told them that they need not get laid in order to succeed.
I took special pains to interview and interact with some of them and discovered that, some of them, have been sexually exploited to a heightened degree. I assured them that all those who took advantage of their innocence will be severely dealt with, in accordance with the law.
