SAN DIEGO – U.S. Customs and Border Protection officers working at the Otay Mesa cargo facility Thursday discovered more than seven tons of marijuana in a commercial truck with cargo manifested as furniture.

“My officers are out there rain or shine to disrupt illicit activity,” said Otay Mesa cargo Port Director, Rosa Hernandez.  “This seizure demonstrates that and their commitment to keeping our community safe from dangerous contraband.”

On April 28, at about 9:40 a.m., a 47-year-old male Mexican citizen driving a 1994 Freightliner pulling a trailer entered the port of entry for inspection.  The CBP officer referred the driver and conveyance for a more in-depth examination.

Officers ran the truck through the port’s imaging system which revealed anomalies with the shipment.  Officers inspected the shipment, they opened the trailer and discovered boxes stacked throughout. When the officers began to open the boxes they discovered large wrapped packages that field-tested positive for marijuana.

CBP officers extracted 587 packages of marijuana from the trailer, weighing 14,219 pounds with a street value of $7.1 million.

The driver was turned over to the custody of Homeland Security Investigations agents for further processing.

CBP officers seized the marijuana and the tractor and trailer.

Rebecca Zahau Case - death threats 2 months before she was killed ?

There was talk on the Coronado Patch blog that Rebecca Zahau filed a police report with the ( Coronado Police ) 2 months before she was killed ? The report was she had concerns about her safety and that she thought Dina Shacknai was going to kill her?



We do not know if the Zahau Legal team has confirmed this report ever took place but this would be devastating evidence in this case . It would be hearsay at this point unless a report  surfaced.

The blogger called ( Lipp ) from the Coronado Patch seem to have a lot of inside information regarding Rebecca's safety issue's.

Iran - 100 lashes for woman caught cheating on husband

NCRI - Iran's fundamentalist regime has flogged a woman in public in Golpayegan, central Iran, it emerged on Wednesday.

The woman, who was only identified by her initials S. T., was given 100 lashes, state media reported.

The flogging was carried out as punishment over an affair she allegedly had with another man, according to Najafali Alyan, the regime’s prosecutor in Golpayegan. His remarks were carried by the state-run Serat News Agency on April 27.

There haven’t been reports in state media of women being flogged in public in Iran in recent years.

The woman is currently serving a 15-year prison sentence for her alleged role in the murder of her husband in July 2012. The Iranian regime's judiciary is notorious for handing down draconian verdicts without due process, and it has been repeatedly condemned by international human rights organizations.

Farideh Karimi, a human rights activist and member of the National Council of Resistance of Iran (NCRI), strongly condemned the public flogging in Golpayegan.

“The public flogging of a woman in Iran is a new misogynist measure by the Rouhani government, which is extremely disturbing and abhorrent. The women politicians from the West who visit Iran should reconsider such outreaches and their impact in emboldening the regime in its attitude,” she said.

She added: “In view of the new wave of suppression of women in Iran, we urge women’s rights activists and organizations to stand up and speak out against the mullahs’ misogynist policies.”

Last week the mullahs' regime launched a new plan to suppress women for "improper veiling." It deployed some 7,000 so-called undercover 'morality police officers' in Tehran tasked with suppressing women on the streets and alerting official law enforcement agencies of instances of “mal-veiling” and other “violations” of the mullahs’ fundamentalist laws.

The Iranian regime has hanged at least 66 women and 2,300 men since Hassan Rouhani took office as President in 2013.

Iran - 6 year old girl raped and killed covered in acid

Civil and human rights activists in Herat, northwest of Afghanistan have protested outside the Iranian regime’s consulate, demanding that the perpetrators who raped and murdered a six-year-old Afghan girl in Iran to be brought to justice.

Setayesh Ghoreishi was reported as missing on April 9 in the Iranian city of Varamin, south-east of Tehran. Her body was discovered the following day after she was assaulted and stabbed to death by an attacker who tried to dispose of her body by putting her in a bathtub and covering her in acid, according to the International Business Times.
The protesters in Herat on Wednesday carried Setayesh’s photo as they chanted slogans demanding justice.
In the Iranian capital Tehran this week the mullahs’ regime attacked a group of mourners who had prepared to gather to protest Setayesh’s murder.
Her devastated family claimed that the Iranian regime’s state media failed to give the case much coverage, due to their status as Afghan migrants, and asked that the perpetrator be treated the same as he would if the case was reversed and a migrant had killed a young Iranian girl.
The case sparked a huge reaction on social media, where the hashtag #IamSetayesh was shared to raise awareness of the under-reported case.

Mrs. Maryam Rajavi , President-elect of the Iranian Resistance, sent a message of condolences and sympathy to the people of Afghanistan and ‪Afghan‬ immigrants in Iran for the murder of ‪Setayesh‬.‬‬

She said that the attack by members of the Iranian regime’s Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps (IRGC) on the gathering for Setayesh in front of the Afghan Embassy showed that the mullahs are the “enemy of the people of Iran and Afghanistan.” ‬‬
