Egypt’s Mubarak jailed for embezzlement

A court in Egypt has sentenced former President Hosni Mubarak to three years in prison after finding him guilty of embezzling public funds.
His two sons, Alaa and Gamal, were also convicted and given four-year terms.
The three were also fined $3m (£1.8m) and ordered to repay the $17.6m (£10.4m) they were accused of stealing.
The 86-year-old is also on trial for abuse of power and conspiring in the killing of protesters during the 2011 uprising that forced him to resign.
He was found guilty of the charge relating to the protesters in 2012 along with his former Interior Minister, Habib al-Adly, and sentenced to life in prison.
But in January 2013 the Court of Cassation upheld an appeal by the two men against their convictions and ordered a retrial.
In August, a court ordered Mubarak’s release from prison and transfer to a military hospital in Cairo, where he is being held under house arrest.

Filipino maid in Saudi says boss's mother scalded her

Disturbing and graphic images have emerged on Facebook that appear to show a Filipino maid with burns all over her back, arms and legs after her Saudi boss's mother allegedly poured boiling water on her.

The 23-year-old woman, Pahima Alagai Palacasi, was at the home of her employer's mother on May 4 when "her sponsor's mother poured boiled water over Palacasi due to a simple misunderstanding," according to a Philippines Labor Ministry statement posted Tuesday.

While at hospital, Palacasi was able to reach a relative who lives in Riyadh who helped her sneak out of hospital. The cousin then posted graphic photos of Palacasi's wounds on Facebook, showing bright pink and white scalded skin all over her back, the backs of her arms, and parts of her leg, according to the ministry statement.

The Philippines government said it would help Palacasi file a case against her employer and has suspended the work of the Saudi recruitment agency that hired her. The English-language Saudi daily Arab News reported Wednesday that Riyadh police were conducting a joint investigation of the case.

Palacasi alleges that her employer began physically abusing her within days of her arrival, kicking and lashing her after she complained of being homesick. She also claimed her employers deprived her of food.

"[My employer's mother] asked me to throw away all the leftover food but I didn't do it so that when I got hungry I could have something to eat," Palacasi said in a cellphone video reportedly taken by her cousin and released to ABS-CBM, a CNN affiliate in the Philipines. CNN cannot independently verify the authenticity of the video.

"Please help me," Palacasi says in the video. "Help me file a case against my employer. I suffered a lot."

Palacsi is currently at an embassy shelter in Riyadh. "She is stable, in high spirits, and is relating well with fellow [Filipino workers]" according to the government statement. CNN has been unable to reach Palacasi or her cousin.

US Congress Reveal Where Boko Haram Received Training

Members of the United States House Committee on Foreign Affairs have disclosed that members of the dreaded Boko Haram sect were trained by Al-Qaeda.

Ed Royce
Speaking on Wednesday, May 21 during the Committee’s Hearing on the Menace of Boko Haram tagged: ‘Boko Haram- The Growing Threat To School Girls, Nigeria And Beyond’, the Chairman of the Committee, Rep. Ed Royce said, being trained by the global terrorist sect meant greater terror for Nigerians, and greater challenges for Nigerian security forces.
The government of the United States had earlier said that Boko Haram sect, is not a branch of the global terrorist organization, Al Qaeda and it should be treated as 'its own terrorist group.'
Meanwhile, President Jonathan had during the security summit hosted by French President Francois Hollande in Paris on Saturday described the Boko Haram, as the “al Qaeda of West Africa."
The Nigerian government has been fighting tooth and nail to curb Boko Haram which has been one of its biggest challenges and so far, all efforts have proved futile.
Despite troops of Nigerian soldiers sent to the areas being terrorised by Boko Haram, they are wrecking havoc, killing innocent people and destroying properties.
They have gained global recognition and their name seems to be on everyone's lips at the moment after they abducted over 200 girls from their school in Chibok. The government is working with foreign countries to make sure the girls are released and returned safely to their homes.

60-day jail sentence for father who killed daughter with slap

Moussa Sidime was not satisfied with how 13-year-old was doing her chores

 

 

Moussa Sidime, third from right, returns to the Longueuil court room with family and friends after a break, Sidime plead guilty to killing his daughter by slapping her, The judge sentenced him to 30 day in jail and two years probation in Longueuil, Wednesday, May 21, 2014.

MONTREAL – A father who killed his daughter by slapping her when he wasn’t satisfied with how she was doing her chores has been sentenced to a sixty-day prison term.
Moussa Sidime, 73, was emotional before the sentence was read out by a judge at the Longueuil courthouse on Wednesday morning.
The judge who heard sentencing arguments earlier this year agreed with the prosecution that a prison term would be appropriate to denounce and dissuade the way Sidime treated his 13-year-old daughter Noutene when he slapped her.
Quebec Court Judge Richard Marleau sentenced Sidime to a prison term he was likely to be able to serve on weekends. This will be followed by two years of probation.
Marleau said he allowed the 60-day sentence to be served in a discontinuous fashion because of Sidime’s age and his good reputation in his community.
Sidime already served 19 days while he was detained following his arrest in 2010.
The defence had requested a suspended sentence.
