Police Mistakenly Rescue Camping Metalheads They Thought Had Entered a Suicide Pact
World metal music Police Camping Police in Scotland rushed to rescue metalheads who were out camping, mistakenly thinking the small group—which included young children—was about to act out a suicide pact, according to a report from The Guardian on Tuesday. It was not some minor response. Authorities rushed fire engines, ambulances and lifeboats to the scene in southeastern Scotland. In total, there were some 20 service vehicles and 50 people waiting to save the group of three adults and three children—all because of an apparent tip from a passerby, who somehow thought the campers were involved in a suicide pact, according to The Guardian. Police even smashed the window of one metalhead's car apparently in search of a suicide note. "For some reason, the police had received a tip that we might be in grave danger, and they came to rescue us," Panagiotis Filis, one of the metalheads, told The Guardian.

Muslims Forced To Eat Pork and Drink Alcohol At Chinese Camps, Inmates Claim
World China Islam Xinjiang Former prisoners of Chinese “re-education” camps for Muslims have said they were forced to drink alcohol and eat pork as part of Beijing's battle to stifle dissent and ensure compliance to the central government. As many as 1 million Chinese Muslims are believed to have been detained in the camps. They are primarily from the province of Xinjiang, which has stubbornly resisted Beijing’s efforts to instill Chinese culture. Former inmates of the camps have now told the Washington Post just how far China is willing to go to crush opposition. Prisoners were subject to brainwashing, humiliation and torture to re-wire them into willing subjects of the Chinese Communist Party and President Xi Jinping. With no access to legal representation and no official charge, the prisoners were helpless. Ethnic Uighur members of the Communist Party of China carry a flag on June 30, 2017, in the old town of Kashgar, in the western Xinjiang … [Read more...] about Muslims Forced To Eat Pork and Drink Alcohol At Chinese Camps, Inmates Claim

Dershowitz: Hayden’s Death Camps Comparison a ‘Form of Holocaust Denial’
Ex-CIA Chief Michael Hayden’s tweet invoking a Nazi concentration camp to slam family separation at the border is “a form of Holocaust denial,” Harvard Law professor Alan Dershowitz said Monday. “Michael Hayden is a great man. He was a great public servant,” Dershowitz said on Fox News. “But I think making comparisons to death camps and concentration camps is a form of Holocaust denial.” Hayden, also a former director of the National Security Agency under presidents of both parties, compared the Trump administration’s practice of separating families to Nazi Germany in a tweet he sent out over the weekend. “Other governments have separated mothers and children,” he tweeted along with a photo of the Birkenau death camp at Auschwitz. "I was trying to point out we need be careful not to move in that direction," Hayden told CNN's John Berman Monday. His decision to use the photo, he said, was an attempt to reflect how Germany went … [Read more...] about Dershowitz: Hayden’s Death Camps Comparison a ‘Form of Holocaust Denial’
