This Nigerian Human Rights Lawyer Wins Second Order of Restraint Against Government

Lawyer Gloria M. Ballason was granted an interim court order by Kaduna State High Court in Kaduna, Nigeria, on January 15, 2020, that prohibits the government from arresting her. This order came after Ballason filed a motion for her “fundamental rights,” — including freedom of expression and human dignity — under Order IV, Rule 4 of the constitution.

This interim order is the second of its kind issued against her arrest.

Ballason is a principal partner at Mive Legals in Kaduna State with a focus on human rights. She is also a columnist and chief executive officer of the “House of Justice,” a human rights call-in radio program, who has written articles critical of the Kaduna State government.

Ballason has experienced ongoing intimidation and harassment by Kaduna State Governor Nasir El-Rufai and his administration, amid a growing crackdown on freedom of expression and dissent in Nigeria.

Between November and December 2019, officers from the Nigerian police force in Kaduna State visited her office in Barnawa, Kaduna. According to her detailed Facebook post, she was harassed, threatened and intimidated since November 28, 2019, when the visits began:

Iraqi security forces fire tear gas, live bullets amid protests

Jan. 25 (UPI) – Iraqi security forces moved closer to Iraq's main anti-government protest site Saturday after firing tear gas and live bullets near the location.

Security forces used the tactics at Khilani Square, near Baghdad's Tahrir Square, at about noon, medics said. Police also set fire to protest tents on the nearby Sinak Bridge, according to several witnesses.

No casualties were reported, but medics said several protesters were injured.

Officials reopened several roads that protesters had previously shut down amid demands for government reforms.

CT senators demand DHS explain ban on Plum Island visitors

Washington – Connecticut’s senators, joined by one from New York, are demanding Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen explain why her agency has shut down visitor access to Plum Island, a spit of land in the Long Island Sound that for years has been shrouded in mystery. Plum Island has been off limits to the general public because it’s the site of research into the world’s most deadly animal diseases, including swine flu and hoof-and-mouth disease, a highly contagious livestock illness.

Operations of Plum Island’s Animal Disease Center are being moved to a larger, more secure site in Manhattan, Kansas, that will be called the National Bio and Agro-Defense Facility. The new Kansas facility is expected to open in 2022.

Meanwhile, the General Services Administration has been tasked with selling Plum Island, a sale that’s opposed by environmental and conservation groups who fear commercial development of Plum Island will harm natural habitat for a variety of birds, fish and other animals.

Norfolk Naval Shipyard breaks ground on $200M dry dock renovation

Jan. 24 (UPI) – Norfolk Naval Shipyard has broken ground for the renovation of its historic Dry Dock 4, the Navy has announced.

The renovation is expected to cost $200 million and span nearly three years, the branch said in a press release.

6 Also their love, and their hatred, and their envy, is now perished; neither have they any more a portion for ever in any thing that is done under the sun.

Mysterious GPS outages are wracking the shipping industry

For the global maritime shipping industry, spotty satellite navigation is a disaster waiting to happen.

The call came in by radio one evening last September, at around 9 p.m. On the line was the master of a tanker, approaching the end of a monthlong journey from the Port of South Louisiana and carrying more than 5,000 metric tons of ethanol. The message was urgent: The ship’s GPS signal had suddenly disappeared—leaving the crew to navigate Cyprus’s shoreline in the dark.

On the other end of the line was the pilots’ office at the Vasiliko oil terminal, whose staff oversees shipping traffic at Vasiliko’s harbor on Cyprus’s arid, palm-fringed southern coast. Stelios Christoforou, the pilot on duty, recognized the gravity of the situation right away. In daylight, an experienced ship captain can maneuver using paper maps, markers, and the coastline as guides. But at night, GPS becomes a critical tool in unfamiliar waters—especially near Cyprus, where NATO and Russian warships roam. And any accident could spill the tanker’s cargo across miles of coastline.

Adam Schiff Even Lied When He Said ‘Truth Matters’

I regret to say that the lead impeachment manager for the Democrats is a congenital liar. Case by case, point by point, like an army of Russian trolls, Adam Schiff is driven to mislead, and to trap his followers and fellow Democrats in a web of deceit and manufactured evidence.

His lies aren’t accidental or without purpose. Clearly, Adam Schiff is on an important mission.

Even his words, “Truth matters,” are to mislead. He lied about that. It doesn’t matter to him at all.

To Mislead Is In His Nature and It’s With Purpose
