Uttar Pradesh: The family of the Delhi gangrape victim today termed the Juvenile Justice Board’s decision of ruling the sixth accused in the case as minor as “unfortunate” and said that they would challenge it in the court.

“The family is not ready to accept that the sixth accused get anything less than death penalty,” the brother said, adding that the minor accused should also get the same punishment of death penalty for which the central government should make necessary changes in the law.

On the decision of the Juvenile Board, the brother said that it is based on his school documents whereas he should have been sent for medical examination.
He expressed apprehension of some kind of “fraud” in mentioning the date of birth in school documents and alleged that the minor accused was the one who had played the main role in the incident

FBI ( Taunted by Anonymous Group - They Hijack Federal Website )

Activists from the hacker collective known as Anonymous assumed control over the homepage of a federal judicial agency this morning.

In a manifesto left on the defaced page, the group demanded reform to the American justice system and what the activists said are threats to the free flow of information.

The lengthy essay largely mirrors previous demands from Anonymous, but this time the group also cited the recent suicide of Reddit co-founder and activist Aaron Swartz as has having "crossed a line" for their organization. Swartz was facing up to 35 years in prison on computer fraud charges.

Prosecutors said he had stolen thousands of digital scientific and academic journal articles from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology with the goal of disseminating them for free.

Anonymous says Swartz was "killed because he was forced into playing a game he could not win - a twisted and distorted perversion of justice - a game where the only winning move was not to play."

"There must be a return to proportionality of punishment with respect to actual harm caused," it reads, also mentioning recent arrests of Anonymous associates by the FBI.

In their statement, the hackers say they targeted the homepage of the Federal Sentencing Commission for "symbolic" reasons.

The group claimed that if their demands were not met they would release a trove of embarrassing internal Justice Department documents to media outlets. Anonymous named the files after Supreme Court justices and provided hyperlinks to them from the defaced page.

As of press time the commission's site had been taken offline but an earlier attempt by CNN to follow the files' links yielded dead-ends, mostly offline sites.

The file names use an ".aes256? suffix, denoting a common encryption protocol. The same system was used to encrypt the Wikileaks Afghan war documents before their release.

It was only after their father Leonel died earlier this month that the Almeida children began clearing out a second-floor room which he had filled with broken electrical items and always kept locked.
Leonel's son, Leandro, said he was astonished to find Manuela alive inside a box containing an old record player.
He told Brazil's Globo G1 website said: 'I put the box on the pavement for the rubbish men to collect, and a neighbour said, "you're not throwing out the turtle aswell are you?"
'I looked and saw her. At that moment, I turned white, I just couldn't believe what I was seeing.'
Daughter Lenita, who had been given the tortoise as a childhood pet, said: 'Everything my father thought he could fix, he picked up and brought home.

'If he found an old television he thought he might be able to use a part of it to fix another one in the future, so he just kept accumulating things. We never dared go inside that room.
'We're all thrilled to have Manuela back. But no-one can understand how she managed to survive for 30 years in there, it's just unbelievable.'
Rio de Janeiro vet Jeferson Pires explained that Manuela's red-footed species of tortoise, can go for long periods without eating.
He said: 'They are particularly resilient and can survive for two to three years without food. In the wild they eat fruit, leaves, dead animals, even faeces.'
He said Manuela may have survived by eating termites from the wooden floors.

John Amaechi Eze, a 23-yr-old Nigerian student studying at a college in Kuala, Lumpur in Malaysia has been sentenced to death by hanging over drug trafficking.

John was found guilty of cannabis trafficking two years ago but his sentencing took place few days ago.

According to the judge in charge of his case, the prosecution had proved its case beyond reasonable doubt against John Amaechi Eze.

According to reports on NewStraitsTimes, in his judgment, Judicial Commissioner Mohd Zaki Abdul Wahab said the accused claimed he was waiting to board an express bus at a restaurant in front of the Lye Huat Garden hall when he was arrested by police.

However, he said the court did not believe his claim that he did not own the luggage when witnesses had testified that he was with the luggage all the time.

After his sentencing, a blogger who lives in Malaysia by the name of Ola shared his experience on how Nigerians are battling to survive in Malaysia over racism and discrimination.

He additionally warned people against cocaine, drug trafficking.
