The French handball men “silverise the Swedes” and walk home with 2012 Olympic Gold.

Posted by African Press International on August 12, 2012

22 to 21 goals gives victory to defending champions, the Frenchmen.

It is always pressure defending a title than fighting for it for the first time. The French team which exhibits many good qualities derives their strength from the many players race-mixed who manage to style themselves and focus as a unit loving the art.

It was a very exciting game to watch, just as one watches art in the making..

The Swedes exhibited excellence as well baging in Silver.They were good, only that a game will always have one winner and one loser. Taking home silver, the team has made the Swedish people proud..

API Staff congratules all players, and the winners especially, for exhibiting professionalism throughout the competion in group games through to the finals..

Pakistani police dismissed due to naked parading

Posted by African Press International on August 12, 2012

Some Pakistani police lost their jobs due to their stupid behaviour. They took the law into their own hands when they decided to punish a couple publicly instead of taking them to the court.

They were on duty when they decided to parade naked a pair in public as punishment for extra-marital sex.

Their dismissal should serve as a lesson to all policemen worldide who think they can do as they please and in disregard to the laid down rules.

These pakistani police had an easy jod to do. The couple was not armed. They should therefore have made the arrested and hand them over to the courts to decide their fate, instead of becoming enthusiastic and chosing to parade them in style through public streets.

Being policemen who are always paraded and inspected by their superiors, this may have been the best they could think of at the time. .

Should honour killings be punishable by death? Pakistani couple handed life sentences in the UK for killing daughter

Posted by African Press International on August 12, 2012

The couple originally from Pakistan has received a life sentence. They are accused of killing their daughter who chose to embrace western values.

The parents wanted their adult daughter to adhere to pakistani traditions and culture only, even if they lived in the west.
This is a failure by parents to imagine that children born into a culture will automatically stagnate there, even when living amongst majority cultures, just as in this case where the daughter grew up in Britain surrounded by many world cultures and traditions.

The daughter who disappeared September 1st, 2003 was found dead 6 months in Kent river in Cumbria.

A life sentence is considered the best option in Europe because the death sentence does not exist.

To serve a good purpose for the society, death sentence should be made possible. Those who commit this kind of crime because they want to adhere to their cultural values deserve death sentences. Europe should introduce death sentence for honour killing crimes.

Norwegian police takes facebook to court

Posted by African Press International on August 12, 2012

The police in Norway have now instituted a court case against facebook. They want the court to force facebook to release a password belonging to the 16 year old girl who is suspected to have been murdered.
Facebook account may help the police to catch the culprits. She disappeared 5 days ago.

Facebook says they have gone through the girl’s account and sees little relevance between her disappearance and the last activity she undertook in the account before the reported incident took place..

The police do not want to hear such and is now demanding for the release of her password. They have gone to go court seeking a court order to that effect.
They want to get into the account for details and decide the relevancy. They accuse facebook for the delay, telling them not to play detectives and investigators in the case.
It now remains to be seen whether the court will value life or blindly follow privacy laws that facebook claim must be respected..
