 UK Onews,-- I should say at the outset that I was turned down by the Equality and
Human Rights Commission (EHRC) for a post they advertised. I'd never
have dared apply had it not been for Trevor Phillips, who headed it at
the time. "Why don't you have a Christian on board?" I had asked him.
"Why don't you apply?" he'd graciously replied. Alas, he was leaving the
Commission when he said it. But when I saw his replacement – Baroness O'Neill
– I wasn't upset about my failed application: the philosopher is, at

Jakarta Ones,-- A non-governmental organization (NGO), National Papua Solidarity
(NAPAS), urged the government to investigate the cause of death of 95
people in Tambrauw regency, West Papua, saying that the Health Ministry
neglected Papuans in remote areas. Previously, the Sorong Raya
chapter of Nusantara Traditional Community Alliance (AMAN) reported that
as many as 95 people in Tambrauw died after failing to receive medical
care. In Baddei village 45 out of a total 250 sick residents have
died, in Jokjober village 15 of its 210 sick people are now dead and in
Kosefa village 35 of the 75 sick villagers did not recover. "The
lack of healthcare in the three villages has meant sick residents
eventually die,” Sorong Raya chapter AMAN head Konstan Magablo cited,
adding that the residents suffered from symptoms such as headache, high
fever and skin irritation. He said that since 2010, due to a lack
of personnel, the three vi

 Jakarta Metrotvnews.com, Jakarta: hoisting the flag of Aceh as describing the region wants independence and secession from the Republic of Indonesia. It could have happened. |
 Onews CUBAN revolutionary leader Fidel Castro has called for long-time ally North Korea and the United States to avoid hostilities on the Korean peninsula. "If war breaks out there, the peoples of both parts of the peninsula will be terribly sacrificed, without benefit to all or either of them," he said in a column published in Cuban state media. "Now that (North Korea) has demonstrated its technical and scientific achievements, we remind her of her duties to the countries which have been her great friends, and it would be unjust to forget that such a war would particularly affect more than 70 per cent of the population of the planet." Castro, 86, reminded the US of its duty to avoid a clash, amid mounting tensions this year between North and South Korea. "If a conflict of t

happening over there, because there are many human rights issues
happening over there. We want West Papua to be a full member of the
Melanesian Spearhead Group - this is something that we’
