Lebanese security ‘cuts internet’ to Syrian refugees

The news came as Lebanon deported dozens of Syrian refugees to Syria as the first part of a “repatriation” plan. Rights groups have condemned the move, pointing out that refugees forced to return to Syria could face arrest, detention, and torture at the hands of President Bashar al-Assad’s regime.

SMEX said it had received a recording of a man warning refugees “in a threatening voice” that possession of internet connection equipment was prohibited and saying this “was an order from Lebanese intelligence”.

The human rights group added that a source in the Lebanese security forces denied that any equipment was confiscated from refugees.

A Syrian media activist living as a refugee in Lebanon, who preferred to remain anonymous, told SMEX that the confiscations had been ongoing for the past four months in the Western Bekaa, Zahleh, and Barr Elias areas.

He said there were 13 reported incidents.

Moroccans frustrated over France ‘revenge visa’ in Morocco

“We call on France to stop insulting Moroccans, placing impossible conditions on them, imposing unfair fees on them, depriving them of visiting their relatives, participating in conferences, and their right of movement,” said Aziz Ghali, the President of the Moroccan Association for Human Rights (AMDH), during the protest.

Turkeys will cost more because 6 million died during bird flu outbreak | Stars and Stripes

With Thanksgiving fast approaching, turkey farmers from California to Pennsylvania are watching in horror as a virulent new strain of avian influenza wipes out their flocks, killing birds practically overnight and forcing hundreds of thousands more to be euthanized to prevent further infection.

The rampant spread of the virus has already eliminated more than 6 million turkeys nationwide, about 14% of the nation’s total turkey production, according to the U.S. Agriculture Department. It is leaving farmers short of their usual offerings and pushing up prices for those that remain, forcing consumers already walloped by inflation to pay an additional 20% or more per pound for Thanksgiving turkeys compared with prices last year, according to several estimates.

लम्हे / Moments

Kaushal Kishore

लम्हे आते हैं
और चले भी जाते हैं,
लेकिन जिन लम्हों को मैं
कलम से पिरो देता हूं शब्दों में,
वे रह जाते हैं सदा के लिए साथ मेरे…

Moments come and go,
but the moments
that I weave into words
with a pen,
stay with me forever….

What Do You Want: Governance Or A Show? — Filosofa’s Word

There are many policy and ideological differences between the two major political parties in the U.S., but as I was reading an article yesterday, one came to me that I had not thought of before:  Democrats in Congress take lawmaking seriously, while for Republicans it is a game, a show.  Republican voters seem to require […]
