17-year-old Nigerian girl who was tricked into prostitution in Russia then abandoned when she fell sick

Anti-Trafficking activists were recently honoured in Washington, D.C. at an event marking the release of the State Department's 2016 Trafficking in Persons report.

The U.S. State Department's Anti-Trafficking Heroes came from very different corners of the world: Nigeria, Cyprus, Pakistan, Russia, Senegal and they all carry same thing in their pocket or purse: photos of the victims they had rescued from human trafficking, stored in their mobile phones.

Goats and Soda spoke to some of the honorees at NPR's headquarters, including a Nigerian activist Oluremi Kehinde, who each shared a story about a trafficked victim they have rescued. They 've been asked not to give the full names of the trafficking victims to protect their identities.

Oluremi Kehinde works with Africans who have been trafficked for sex work in Russia. He shared a photo of an 18-year-old Nigerian girl brought to Russia with what she thought was a student visa, then forced into prostitution.(pictured showing a photo of the Nigerian teen forced to work as a prostitute in Russia. She was hospitalized because of internal injuries) Below is his story:

Turkey's 'cleansing' begins

• 3,000 soldiers detained
• Arrest warrants out for more than 2,700 judges and prosecutors
• Strains on Turkey/US relations
• "The cleansing is continuing," Bekir Bozdag, Turkish justice minister, says 

Turkish authorities on Sunday began rounding up dozens of generals as well as senior judges and prosecutors accused of supporting a failed military coup aimed at ousting President Recep Tayyip Erdogan.

The government has already said that almost 3,000 soldiers had been detained on suspicion of involvement in the putsch, which began on Friday night but faltered in the early hours of Saturday.

NTV television said that 34 generals of various grades had been detained so far. They include senior figures like Erdal Ozturk, commander of the third army and the commander of the Malatya-based second army, Adem Huduti.

Three Baton Rouge cops shot and killed in shooting by lone gunman

A lone gunman wearing all black and toting a rifle shot and killed three cops in Baton Rouge and wounded three more Sunday, authorities said.

Cops killed the shooter in a wild shootout around 8:40 a.m. local time on a main thoroughfare in the Louisiana capitol.

Authorities said there was not an “active shooter situation” in the city, indicating there were not two other suspects in the attack, as they’d said earlier. 

Police were used a robot to check the body of the dead suspect for explosives.

Dispatch audio obtained by The Advocate revealed that cops responded to a call before 9 a.m. local time about a man armed with an assault rifle near a B-Quik convenience store on Airline Highway. The store is across from a shopping center, Hammond Aire Plaza.
