1. Ottawa judge brands sadistic rapist a dangerous offender

The designation is for life and comes after Ahmed committed horrific rapes — one at knifepoint in an alley — in 2011 and 2009. The high school dropout originally from Kenya pleaded guilty to the vicious sex crimes, and also pleaded guilty to a severe, foot-stomping beating of another inmate at the Ottawa jail in 2015. Ahmed, 32, also pleaded guilty to assaulting a guard — he threw his urine on a correctional officer — at the Ottawa-Carleton Detention Centre. “Based on all of the evidence on this sentencing hearing and without any evidence of Mr. Ahmed’s treatability beyond a hope for change, I cannot risk the safety of the community,” Ontario Superior Court Justice Lynn Ratushny said in her decision. The judge said his release would now rest in the hands of the parole board. The lengthy dangerous offender application was successfully argued by Assistant Crown Attorney Peter Napier.



2. London is “acid attack capital of the world”

A burns surgeon who treats many acid attack victims coming out of East London has suggested that the proliferation of such crimes is now at epidemic levels. Dr Martin Niall, a burn surgeon at Mid-Essex Hospital, told National Public Radio (NPR) in the U.S. that acid attacks in Britain “are now at levels that one of my colleagues described as epidemic”. He added: “Everyone, ourselves included, has been shocked by this emerging threat to public health.” In terms of attacks per head of population, London is now the acid attack capital of the world, with a 74 per cent rise in assaults — from 261 to 454 — between 2015 and 2016. Hundreds of attacks have already been logged for the first few months of 2017. Twelve people suffered burns and in some cases lost their vision after an attack in a Hackney nightclub at Easter, and two moped-mounted teens attacked five people around London in under 90 minutes in a July crime spree.



3. Naples: 30 Immigrants surround five soldiers to impede questioning

“In the video, in the centre of Via Firenze close to the station, a patrol of five soldiers, armed and tasked with Operation Safe Streets, are searching a man, on the ground to check him out. Some foreigners come running from the right, then back off. Others arrive from the left. The soldiers, already surrounded, try to keep calm, but suddenly chaos is triggered. Shouting, shoving, someone tries to free the detained man. Then a young man in a green t-shirt intervenes, saying something that causes the thirty immigrants in revolt to disperse.”

5. Report: Afghans grossly over-represented in sexual violence in Europe

In the realm of “Criminal acts against sexual autonomy and self-determination” alone, 3,404 asylum seekers were registered as sexual criminals. About nine times a day somewhere in Germany, a woman, or a child, is being raped, sexually coerced, tormented, cornered, humiliated and debased by men, who — coming here allegedly seeking protection — have been taken in unconditionally and were given accommodations and everything else. That is what the official numbers say. But an estimate of unreported cases will most likely be much higher. This is not just the case for Germany, but for all European countries which have permitted significant migration from mostly Islamic chaos-zones in the Third World. Another example is Austria. Cheryl Benard, the Austrian-American social scientist and feminist, has studied the phenomenon of an increase of sexual attacks on women by asylum seekers in her country of birth.
