Mexico ( Ex-L.A. Cop Went Missing in Mexico in 2010, - possible homicide ) Abducted

MEXICO CITY – A Mexican man who had returned to his homeland after working as a police officer in Southern California went missing three years ago in the central state of Morelos, his relatives said.

The family had not reported the case until now because they had received numerous threats while searching for clues to the whereabouts of Angel Saul Muñoz Perez, his sister, Lorena, told Efe.

“That’s why we’re now reporting this case for the first time,” she said in a telephone interview.

Muñoz Perez worked a lengthy stint as a Los Angeles police officer until deciding for personal reasons to return to Mexico, where he planned to continue his work in law enforcement.

His experience in the United States instilled a desire to improve police work in Mexico, according to Lorena, who said her brother worked in the previous Morelos administration under then-Public Safety Secretary Luis Angel Cabeza de Vaca.

“They offered him work so he could start investigating how the police was working. Cabeza de Vaca hired him to start training” other officers, she added.

After a while, he started becoming aware of numerous corruption-related issues, according to Lorena, who declined to elaborate.

On Feb. 16, 2010, Muñoz Perez, 50, and another man who had worked as a bodyguard for local government officials were abducted by a group of individuals riding in an SUV.

When the family tried to look for him, they were warned to remain silent or stonewalled, “and the United States did not help us because they said that when someone works for the government here they can no longer intervene,” Lorena said.

Muñoz Perez’s family is one of six who traveled Wednesday from Morelos to Mexico City to meet and discuss their cases – four disappearances and two murders – with federal authorities.

Morelos is one of the Mexican states most beset by drug-related violence and an area of the country where kidnappings, homicides and extortion rackets are commonplace. EFE

LIMA ( 58 Arrested in Coffee Growers’ Protests in Peru -they clash with police )

Hundreds of coffee growers clashed with police during a march along Peru’s Central Highway to demand that the government allocate more resources to combat the coffee rust fungus

LIMA – Violent protests by coffee growers demanding government help in dealing with a crop blight resulted in police arresting 58 people and an undetermined number of people being injured, Peruvian media said.

Hundreds of coffee growers clashed with police during a march along Peru’s Central Highway to demand that the government allocate more resources to combat the coffee rust fungus.

The Central Highway was cleared by police, while the coffee growers’ leaders reiterated their demand for a government response to the serious economic losses the fungus has caused.

The demonstrators belong to the Central Jungle Coffee Growers Confederation, which is asking for loans to allow them to replant on the plantations ruined by the coffee rust fungus and to refinance their debts.

The group on Tuesday declared itself to be on an open-ended strike and set off on a march from the city of La Merced, in the jungle in Junin region, en route for Lima.

Agriculture Minister Milton von Hesse said that so far 250 million soles ($89 million) has been allocated to attend to the problems that have arisen this year from the disease affecting the coffee crop.

The government in May decreed an emergency in the coffee sector and developed a plan to distribute fertilizers among the growers affected by the fungus.

The president of the National Coffee Board, which represents 170,000 families, Anner Roman, two months ago estimated that the blight threatened to cause the loss of 2 million quintals (220,458 tons) of coffee, or 25 percent of the annual harvest. EFE

The sentence was issued few days before the TV channel had its 16th fund raising Telethon on August 9-12 during which Iranian from inside the country and across the world contributed more than $4m to this TV channel.
This telethon was a vivid example of the Iranian people’s solidarity and their strong will for change in Iran. The participants expressed their support for the Iranian Resistance and its President-elect Mrs. Maryam Rajavi.
In this telethon that marked the 25th anniversary of the 1988 massacre of 30,000 political prisoners, released political prisoners and family members of the martyrs and Ashraf and Liberty residents, revealed more shocking accounts of the massacre of members of the People's Mojahedin Organization of Iran (PMOI /MEK), and strongly condemned the regime’s conspiracy aimed at cloaking this crime against humanity, and exposed the regime’s elements involved in this policy.

A mysterious carcass was recently discovered on a beach in Spain and has many asking, “What is that thing?”
Though multiple guesses have been made, no one has been able to definitively identify the sea creature.
Guesses include a thresher shark and a giant oarfish, but one scientist says it will likely never be conclusively identified, as it was buried by sand due to health reasons.
The 13-foot, horned sea creature was found on Luis Siret Beach in Spain’s Andalusian village of Villaricos.
A woman reportedly discovered part of the carcass and called Cuevas Civil Protection, who uncovered the rest.
Now that the creature has been buried scientists have only photos to help identify it, though a specialist at Florida State University believes the creature found on the Spanish beach is indeed some kind of shark.
The photos have reportedly been sent to various organizations for additional help in identifying the animal.

A man in North Carolina has been arrested for allegedly entering a woman’s home, getting into her bed, and giving her a back rub.
Julio Antonio Yanez, 29, was arrested after he allegedly entered an unlocked apartment and tried to give the sleeping woman a back rub.
Last week’s incident, however, was not Yanez’s first attempt to give unwanted rub-downs. He was arrested in July after another woman reported he had entered her home as well. Additional women then came forward and shared similar stories.
For the most recent incident, Yanez has been charged with two counts of Misdemeanor Breaking and Entering and two counts of Misdemeanor Assault on a Femalee.
