<<Parents of girl found in suitcase urge French politicians to stop
exploiting death.
The parents of a French schoolgirl whose death stunned the country have
urged rightwing politicians to stop using her photograph for political
ends. A 24-year-old woman from Algeria with a history of psychiatric
disorders was last week charged with the rape and murder last week of
the girl, identified only as <Lola>. Investigators have learned that the
woman had overstayed a student visa and in August had received notice to
leave France within 30 days. Conservative and far-right parties have
accused President Emmanuel Macron's gover-nment of failing to enforce
immigration laws, saying strict application of deportation orders could
have prevented the child's death. But Lola's parents, who met Macron
this week, have pleaded with politicians to stop exploiting their
daughter's death, after her photo was displayed at a far-right
demonstration in Paris on Thursday. They asked that <any use of the name
and image of their child for political ends immediately cease and be
removed> from the internet and in protests, their lawyers said. The
request was made so they could <honour the memory of their child in
peace, respect and dignity>. Speaking on the sidelines of a Brussels
summit on Friday, Macron said the family needed <the nation's respect
and affection>.>>

<<Femicide sparks fury in South Korea amid calls for tougher punishment
of stalkers.
One year ago, an anti-stalking law came into effect in South Korea, in a
bid to combat a type of harassment that over 10 percent of Koreans say
they have experienced. Perpetrators, who had pre-viously been fined a
maximum of 80 euros, now face three years in jail. But one particularly
harrowing case has brought the law back into the spotlight. In
September, a 28-year-old woman was murdered in a public toilet by a man
she had accused of stalking her. Activists and politicians now say the
legislation is too weak and are wonde-ring what more can be done to
protect victims before it's too late. Our correspondents report.>>

<<Washington state woman survives being stabbed and buried alive.
A woman in Washington state managed to escape after allegedly being
bound, stabbed and buried alive by her estranged husband.
Thurston county police officers were dispatched to a home around 1am
local time on Monday, where they found a distressed woman hiding behind
a shed screaming, <My husband is trying to kill me,> reported NBC News,
citing a court document. The woman had been tied up with duct tape
around her neck, legs and ankles, noted the court filing. <There was
extensive bruising to her legs, arms and head and her clothing and hair
were covered in dirt,> it said.
Chae Kyong An, 53, was arrested later that morning after police found
him in his van near a local hiking trail, reported the Olympian.
Kyong An faces numerous recommended charges, including attempted
first-degree murder and first-degree kidnapping. He is being held
without bail. According to the court filing, Kyong An attacked his wife
while the two were discussing their impending divorce and money. The
woman told police that her husband bound her with duct tape and
kidnapped her in the family's van. She said she was able to send out
emergency notifications to her close contacts from her Apple watch and
managed to contact 911 but couldn't communicate further as her mouth was
covered.
Kyong An later smashed the watch with a hammer, then drove her to a
local wooded area and began digging a hole before stabbing her multiple
times in the chest, she told police. He then allegedly drag-ged her into
the hole and covered it with a tree. <After being put into the ground
she could hear her husband walking around the hole and dirt being put on
top of her,> the filing said. The woman es-timated to police that she
had been buried for several hours. She said she managed to remove some
of the duct tape from her hands and was able to escape the hole. She ran
for almost 30 minutes until she found a house, where the residents
called 911.>>

<<The culture of incest: Ending the system of victim-blaming
The French government proposes new laws on dealing with incest as
figures reveal that some 160,000 French children are victims of incest
every year. Annette Young talks to Franco-American author and
journalist, Iris Brey, whose latest book tackles the issue. As the
protests in Iran continue, Iranian women living-in-exile are closely
watching events unfold with horror as the government enforces a harsh
crackdown. Plus Brussels' famed comic strip walk and its murals are
accused of sexism, forcing city officials to take unique steps.>>

<<Australian women sue Qatar Airways over forced examinations at Doha
airport.
Five Australian women are suing Qatar Airways in the New South Wales
supreme court over a 2020 incident in which they were forcibly removed
from aeroplanes at gunpoint in Doha, and some intimately examined
without explanation or their consent. The women are seeking damages from
both Qatar Airways and the Qatar Civil Aviation Authority - owned by the
Qatari government - over the <unlawful physical contact> and mental
health impacts, including depression and post-traumatic stress disorder.
On 2 October 2020, women on planes on the ground at Doha, including 13
Australians, were subjected to the examinations as authorities searched
for the mother of a newborn baby found abandoned in a plastic bag in the
departures lounge at Hamad international airport. Women on 10 flights,
including five Australians who were on a Sydney-bound Qatar Airways
flight, were removed from planes at gunpoint and taken into ambulances
on the tarmac. Some were instructed to remove their underwear and some
were forced to submit to invasive gynae-cological examinations for
evidence they had recently given birth.
Women who were examined said they were given no information by officials
on why they were being forcibly examined, and did not have an
opportunity to provide informed consent.
The infant survived.
According to the statement of claim filed in the NSW supreme court,
three of the five women were subjected to <unlawful physical contact>.
<Each of the applications has suffere... from anxiety, depression,
post-traumatic stress disorders and other psychological effects.> The
women have incurred medical expenses, and some have suffered economic
loss <as a result of needing to take medical leave from work due to the
effects of the events on … mental health>. Papers were served on Qatar
Airways at the airline's Melbourne offices on Thursday. The airline has
not responded to requests for comment from the Guardian. Damian
Sturzaker, partner at Marque Lawyers, told the Guardian he was <proud to
stand with this group of brave women who have been forced to take on the
Qatar government after it gravely breached their human rights.> >>

<<Paris investigators on Monday charged a woman suspected of raping and
murdering a 12-year-old girl whose body was found in a trunk on Friday,
a source close to the case told AFP. The main suspect, identified as a
24-year-old woman suffering from psychiatric disorders, was questioned
earlier Monday alongside an older man suspected of sheltering her. The
24-year-old has been charged with the rape and murder of a minor aged
under 15 along with torture and abuse, the source said. A judge ordered
that she be held in provisional custody. Prosecutors said in a press
release Monday that under questioning, the woman made <varying
statements, switching between admitting and denying the facts of the
case.> But she eventually said she had brought the girl -- identified
only by her first name, Lola -- to her sister's apartment in the same
building, where she forced her to take a shower. The woman said she had
then <committed harm of a sexual nature and other violent acts against
(Lola) that caused her death, and hid her body in the trunk,>
prosecutors said. According to the autopsy, the young girl died due to
<cardio-respiratory failure with signs of asphyxia and cervical
compression>. Other non-fatal wounds were found on her face and back as
well as large gashes on her neck, and the numbers 0 and 1 were written
in red on the soles of each of her feet. <Investigations are continuing
to determine exactly what happened (and) to esta-blish the criminal
responsibility of the people involved,> prosecutors added. The suspect's
lawyer Alexandre Silva expressed sympathy for Lola's family, before
calling on the press not to report <rumours> and insisting on the
presumption of innocence for his client. The 43-year-old man also
questioned in custody on Monday admitted that he brought the 24-year-old
woman to his home with the trunk and two suitcases, where he said she
stayed for two hours before leaving again in a chauffeur-driven car he
had called for her. Spotted on CCTV
The main suspect was arrested on Saturday in Bois-Colombes in Paris'
northwestern suburbs, after investigators tracked her move-ments on CCTV
cameras from the building and the surrounding area as well as using
phone records and physical searches. Lola's parents had called police
after their daughter did not return from middle school on Friday
afternoon.>>
