1. Psychiatrist says serial rapist Sofyan Boalag high risk to re-offend without treatment

Gill had previously assessed Boalag at the Waterford Hospital and, in court Monday, said Boalag told her that Canadian women don't respect men, and that he doesn't like the fact that women in this country drink, do drugs, and have friendships with men. […] Gill said that when Boalag came to Canada, he was married to a woman in Algeria named Nadia. Gill said that Boalag told her that his wife was "respectful" of him, and that she stayed at home and only associated with family, and that's the way he liked it. Boalag told Gill, "Nadia never did anything to make him mad." She said Boalag described his sex life with his wife as normal, with no violence, and said they did not have premarital sex.

8. EU: ‘Illegal Migrants in Morocco Have European Union Refugee Rights’

The European Court of Human Rights has made a landmark ruling that migrants who cross border fences which are still outside European Union territory have ‘rights as refugees’ – meaning Spanish authorities will no longer be allowed to return illegal immigrants to Morocco who storm border fences at the enclaves of Ceuta and Melilla. The precedent was set following the ruling of two cases of illegal African migrants who were returned by Spanish border guards to Morocco after crossing the border fence in Melilla – despite the migrants technically still being in Moroccan territory at the time of their apprehension, reports Die Welt. In the case of ‘N.D. and N.T. vs Spain’, the Strasbourg judges ruled in favour of two migrants from Mali and the Ivory Coast who were, on two occasions, directly arrested by the Spanish border police and handed over to Moroccan authorities at the Melilla border in 2014.
