Dozens of juvenile offenders below the age of 18 continue to face the death penalty in Yemen, in violation of the United Nations Convention of the Rights of the Child.
The latest victim was a girl named as Hind Al-Barti who was executed on the 3rd of December this year.
The UN Committee on the Rights of the Child says although it was not aware of the nature of the crime committed, information gathered indicates that Hind Al-Barti was about 15 years old at the time of the offense.
Chairman of the committee Jean Zermatten says the executions were a serious infringement of the commitment undertaken in 2005 and 2009 by the Government of Yemen to abolish the death penalty, torture, and other inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment to offenders below the age of 18.
"What is important for us is the moment of the commission of the offense, not the moment of the judgment. We have information that 14 children have been executed between 2006 and 2010. Yemen came before the committee in 2005 and we made recommendation to Yemen to stop the execution and to ban death penalty. I don’t know why they continue to execute children because they were also before the Human Rights Council where they assured to observe and respect the obligations under the convention."
The committee says it has information that 21 juvenile offenders, all under 18 years at the time of the commission of the offenses, have been condemned to death.
Another 186 young offenders are threatened with execution.

Arizona ( Sheriff Joe Arpaio claimed ICE refused to pick up illegal immigrants )

Late last week, Sheriff Joe Arpaio claimed Immigration and Customs Enforcement "refused" to take custody of two suspected illegal immigrants that MCSO deputies found in the desert.

Arpaio suggested that he saw this was coming, and had discovered a back-up plan to keep turning over immigrants to federal agents.

From MCSO's press release:

Sheriff's detectives were unable to gather enough evidence on the remaining two suspects to charge them with a state crime of human smuggling and attempted to turn the suspects over to ICE as has been the practice during the last six years. ICE agents, after asking a series of questions, refused to take the suspects from Sheriff's detectives.

"I expected that it would happen eventually, so I had a back up plan in place which was to take these illegal immigrants not accepted by ICE to the Border Patrol," Sheriff Arpaio said. So as directed by the Sheriff, last night deputies took the two suspects to the Border Patrol.

Not so fast, said ICE, which turned over its own version of events.

"...ICE agents referred the sheriff's office to the Ajo Station of the U.S. Border Patrol. Border Patrol is the primary DHS agency responding to recent border crossers encountered in the Gila Bend desert area," an ICE spokeswoman said in a statement. "Agents from the Ajo Border Patrol station responded to the scene in Gila Bend and took custody of the individuals. ICE and Border Patrol work closely together to ensure a coordinated response to our state and local law enforcement partners, in accordance with our enforcement priorities."

Rolling Stones Defy Boycott Groups To Perform In Israel Update: Not True, Jewish Press Playing “Purim Prank”

Mick being Mick gives the perfect response- Boycott? Heck, no, I’ll play MORE concerts!
Via Jewish Press:

Despite a barrage of attacks from British, European and U.S. Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) groups, the Rolling Stones will perform their planned concert in Jerusalem on Israel’s Independence Day, Monday, April 15.
“We’ve been slammed and smacked and twittered a lot by the anti-Israeli side,” said Mick Jagger, the band’s leader and most recognizable member since 1963. “All I can say is: anything worth doing is worth overdoing. So we decided to add a concert on Tuesday.”
Needless to say, tickets to both concerts, Monday night in Teddy Stadium in Jerusalem and Tuesday night in Bloomfield Stadium, Tel Aviv, have been sold out even as Jagger was speaking.
“This is a huge mistake for the Stones,” declared BDS proponent Rabbi Lynn Gottlieb. “They stand to lose a lot of money as a result of showing solidarity with Zionism, because their most devoted fans also support boycotting Israel.”

CALIFORNIA ( Sex Offenders get slap on wrist because of Gov. Jerry Brown )

Thousands of California’s paroled child molesters, rapists and other high-risk sex offenders are removing their GPS trackers and receiving very little consequences.
A Los Angeles Times investigation found that the state’s prisons are so packed to the brim that sex offenders are more often paroled than jailed, and they can easily disable their tracking devices without serving time for it. Many even go on to commit more crimes including sexual battery, kidnapping and attempted manslaughter.

“It’s a huge problem,” said Fresno parole agent Matt Hill. “If the public knew, they’d be shocked.”
Gov. Jerry Brown and the legislature’s “realignment” program began referring parole violators to county jails instead of prisons to reduce overcrowding. Arrest warrants for GPS tamperers increased 28 percent in 2012 compared to the 12 months before the change in custody began, The Times reports.
Some county jails have freed parole violators almost immediately, while some have refused to accept them at all. The investigation found that parole violators in San Joaquin County are often set free in less than 24 hours.
With such little consequences, parolees “certainly are feeling more bold,” Jack Wallace, an executive at the California Sex Offender Management Board, told The Times.
In Fresno County, 42 sex offenders violated parole repeatedly during the yearlong period starting in October 2011. One was Fidel Tafoya, who has a history of assaulting women on college campuses. He was ordered to serve five months for violating parole in May of last year, but the jail had no room for him. He was released immediately, The Times reports.
