Mexicans Block Roads, Hurl Molotov Cocktails over Missing Students

MEXICO CITY – Mexico marked Thursday’s 104th anniversary of its 1910 Revolution with mainly peaceful protests over the abduction and apparent murder of 43 students, though some militants blocked roads and hurled Molotov cocktails at police.

The most significant confrontation took place in Mexico City, where some 200 hooded protesters battled police in an attempt to reach the capital’s international airport and shut it down.

Repulsed by cops in full riot gear, the protesters retreated to a city square to prepare for marches set for later Thursday.

From San Cristobal de las Casas in the southern state of Chiapas came reports of youths smashing shop windows and setting off homemade bombs.

Authorities in the southwestern state of Guerrero, scene of the Sept. 26 abduction of the students, saw more than 2,000 people temporarily shut down a stretch of the expressway that links Mexico City with the Pacific resort of Acapulco.

In the northern state of Chihuahua, bordering Texas, around 300 students and teachers disrupted a parade for the anniversary of the revolution with a protest on behalf of the missing students.

The largest university in Guadalajara, Mexico’s second city, suspended classes Thursday in solidarity with the 43 students.

The 43 missing students from Ayotzinapa Normal School, a teacher’s college, were detained by police on the night of Sept. 26 and handed over to the Guerreros Unidos drug cartel, which killed them and burned the bodies to eliminate all traces of the victims, Mexican authorities say, citing statements by suspects in the case.

But the parents of the missing young people say they won’t accept that explanation without solid proof.

HRANA News Agency – Mohammad Ali Taheri’s students – a prisoner of conscience and the founder of Interuniversalism Mysticism – Erfaneh Halgheh – gathered in front of Evin Prison to protest against the imprisonment of their teacher and to express their concerns about his condition.

HRANA reports that according to Sahamnews , on Tuesday , 18 November 2014, a group of Mohammad Ali Taheri’s students gathered in front of Evin Prison and demonstrated by shouts of “Allaho Akbar” ( God is the greatest). These people who protested against the concerning condition of Mohammad Ali Taheri in front of Evin Prison, demanded his freedom.

Mohammad Ali Taheri has been on hunger strike since 26 October 2014, was initially sent to the prison’s clinic due to his extreme weakness and then was transferred to an external hospital. His extreme condition was the main concern of his students.

Mohammad Ali Taheri previously announced that he would break his hunger strike as soon as the forged case made against him by security forces on the charges of “Corruption on earth” is closed.

Tuesday protests of Mohammad Ali Taheri’s students in front of Evin Prison, intervened by the security police but according to the received reports, police forces were not successful to disperse the protestors as they strongly resisted.

Protestors demanded to visit Mohammad Ali Taheri to make sure of his health and they also asked for his unconditional release from prison. Based on received reports, these protests will continue to support Mohammad Ali Taheri.

On Tuesday demonstrations, apart from the “Allaho Akbar” motto, a poem by Mr Taheri was also sung by the group of protestors.

Friday, 21 November 2014

A Jewish man was reportedly stabbed in the back and another was beaten with a metal bar as they walked among a group of Jews to pray in the Israeli-occupied East Jerusalem, Al Arabiya’s correspondent reported on Friday.

"A group of Jewish worshippers were attacked as they walked...to Beit Horot," a police statement said according to Agence France-Presse.

Beit Horot is a Jewish seminary set up on the Mount of Olives by ultranationalist rabbi Benny Elon in 1999.

On Tuesday, two Palestinians attacked a synagogue in West Jerusalem, killing four worshippers and fatally wounding a policeman who arrived at the scene.

Tensions heightened over the past days between Israelis and Palestinians in the area, mostly over Palestinian claims that Israel wants to change the status quo at a contested Jerusalem holy site by allowing Jewish prayer there.

Tucson Az - Woman injured, dog dies in incident with javelina

TUCSON- A woman was injured and her dog died during an incident involving two javelina on the northwest side Saturday night.

According to Game and Fish spokesman Mark Hart, the woman opened the back door of her house in the 2300 block of W. Ruthrauff Road and her dog broke loose from its collar and attacked two javelina.

During the incident the woman sustained a leg wound and was transported to the hospital.

"Javelina may react instinctively to the presence of dogs, which they cannot distinguish from a natural predator such as a coyote," said Regional Supervisor Raul Vega of Game and Fish in Tucson. "The victim was taken by surprise by the presence of the javelina and unfortunately was unable to control her dog. We recommend that dog owners out walking their pets immediately head in the opposite direction if they encounter javelina."

Filmmakers apologize for fake 'Syrian hero boy' video

In an open letter to Klevberg and the film's financers, journalists and other opponents of the clip wrote, "Syrian children have been the target of snipers, barrel bombs and massive atrocities for over three years, much of which has been documented, painstakingly, by citizen journalists and journalists alike in the most dangerous and dire of circumstances. This film undermines the work and the people who continue to document crimes against humanity."
