Sex attacks in Basel

Let’s say your house had become infested with wasps because you had no screens and you leave the windows open. These wasps, being especially aggressive ones, are not content to get in your fridge and cupboards, eat your food, nest in your linen and build giant hives wherever your family likes to gather, but they sting your family members and your welcome guests every opportunity they have.

You have lots of options. You could install good screens so you can still enjoy the fresh air and keep the wasps out, meanwhile systematically removing all the wasps from inside your home to the outside. You could segregate a part of the house for the wasps if you really wanted to, and confine them to that room, keeping your family safe that way even though you would still probably have to feed and provide linen for their increasingly large and loud nests, eventually having to go back to plan 1.

The Swiss have another idea though.

They want to hang “quadrangular” boxes on all the women so if they get stung, it will make a loud noise. I can’t quite understand the utility of this plan unless it is to attract all the other wasps in the area to come sting her also.

From Blick.Ch:

Insecurity and fear with women

BASEL: In Basel, sex attacks are getting more frequent. Blick.ch asked women how they felt, with regard to the shock reports.

He pretended to be helpful, then he attacked his victim

Friday night, an unknown man raped a woman in Elisabethenanlage in Basel. It was the seventh sex attack during the last two months in Basel that was communicated by the administration.

Many women are now in fear to be around Basel all on their own. ‘I feel insecure, especially when going out’, says a young Basel woman towards Blick.ch. ‘I try to avoid strange places.’ Another young woman dares no longer being about town on her own: ‘It is very bad that even in Switzerland, we now do no longer have the freedom to be outside on our own’, says her girl friend.

Alarm buttons

Experts recommend women to have mobile alarm appliances with them. Alessandra Pini, Opferhilfe beider Basel [= aid for victims in both Basels – meaning in both Basel-Stadt (city canton) and Basel-Landschaft (rural area canton)]: ‘We recommend women to, if possible, go home together, or take a taxi. Another possibility for women is to carry an alarm button with them. We distribute them already in cases of domestic violence. It is a quadrangular box. If you pull the plug, a loud noise sounds, similar to that of a car alarm.’

Every woman should have the right to move on her own in the public sphere. Pini: ‘Unfortunately, there is no absolute security. It is also important to warn the public.

If you notice that a woman is being harassed, you should interfere or, if you are afraid, notify police. As a passer-by, it is important that you keep an eye on what is going on around you.’

René Gsell, Basel public prosecutor’s office, speaks about a growth of sex attacks against women in Basel. Also the chief inspector [presumably the just mentioned René Gsell] recommends women to carry a mobile alarm system with them. ‘Once triggered, they make a hell of a noise. If you use defence sprays you run the risk of hurting yourself.’

An Asian takeaway owner has been jailed for 15 years after paying under-age girls for sex and inciting others to become child prostitutes.

Now detectives are also investigating possible links to the child sex ring gang in Rochdale who were jailed last week, it was revealed today.

Azad Miah, 44, targeted his victims in what the prosecution at Carlisle Crown Court described as a ‘cold, clinical exploitation of the desperate and vulnerable.’

The married father-of-four paid for the sexual services of two teenagers who were both introduced to him by the same woman.

One of those girls was encouraged to have sex with him out of desperation for cash when she was 15, while he had a sexual relationship with the other, a heroin addict, when she was aged between 15 and 17.

A jury also found the Bangladeshi national guilty yesterday of inciting three other girls, one as young as 12, into prostitution, while running a brothel above his former Spice of India shop in Carlisle city centre.

Today, Judge Peter Hughes QC said police needed to learn lessons from not heeding her complaint and that there were a number of ‘missed opportunities.’

‘A sad feature of this case is that there were a number of occasions when witnesses complained to police or community support officers about the defendant pestering them but their complaints were not taken further. As a result, opportunities were missed.

The judge added that the investigation of the case owed much to the ‘dedication and determination of one officer to trace the witnesses and make it possible for them to feel they could come forward.’

Miah groomed vulnerable white girls as young as 12 for paid sex and told one of his five child victims: ‘In my country it doesn’t matter about age’.

Rochdale grooming: More child sex arrests

BBC:

A second sexual grooming case has been uncovered in Rochdale, it has been reported.

Several men have been arrested on suspicion of sexually abusing a teenage girl over a a six-year period, the Manchester Evening News has reported.

It follows the conviction of nine men from Rochdale and Oldham who were jailed for running a child sexual exploitation ring.

The men had targeted vulnerable girls as young as 13.

During the trial, five girls gave evidence, but police believe there may have been up to 47 victims.

Chief Constable of Greater Manchester, Peter Fahy, said he hoped more victims of sexual abuse would come forward after the men were sentenced.

But he said the vulnerability of the witnesses made it difficult to bring the cases to court, describing the girls as “damaged individuals”.

Police said the latest arrests were not related to the case that concluded with the nine men being jailed from four to 19 years.

They had been found guilty of offences including rape and conspiracy to engage in sexual activity with a child.

“No remorse”: Ibraheem Giwa called friends to his home to rape “vulnerable” girl

04 May 2012

A teenager who organised the gang rape of  a vulnerable 11-year-old girl was unmasked by a judge today and sentenced to  five years’ detention.

Ibraheem Giwa, 15, was 13 when he and fellow gang members took turns to sexually assault the child on three occasions including once in a McDonald’s lavatory. He was convicted of two charges of rape.

Judge Patricia Lees ordered that Giwa, who had denied the charges and shown “no remorse”, lose the anonymity usually afforded to an offender of his age. She said the girl was subjected to a “high degree of degradation and sexual violation”.

Inner London crown court heard that the first attack on the girl was carried out by Giwa and another boy in Central Park, East Ham, in September 2009. The second was at Giwa’s east London home and involved up to eight friends he had summoned by phone and text.

On the final occasion in March 2010, the girl was cornered in the lavatory of McDonald’s in East Ham.

A second youth, now aged 16, who cannot be named, was ordered to be detained at a young offender institution for a year after admitting raping the girl at the restaurant.

Oxford child sex trafficking probe widens as number of ‘victims’ doubles to 50 girls, some as young as 11

A suspected sex trafficking ring in which girls as young as 11 were allegedly targeted was far larger than previously feared, according to police.

As many as 50 young girls have come forward claiming to have been sold for sex in Oxford, detective confirmed today.

It was originally thought that 24 girls, aged between 11 and 16 years, were the only victims but more youngsters have since contacted the police alleging they were also victims.

Oxford police commander, Acting Superintendent Chris Sharp, said more ‘potential victims’ had come forward as a result of the publicity the case had received.

 

 

A total of 13 men were arrested when more than 100 police swooped in the raids across Oxford, codenamed Operation Bullfinch.

A group of six Asian men – including two sets of brothers – have been charged by police in connection with allegedly running the sex trafficking ring in the university city known for its dreaming spires.

Since the initial dawn raids last month, officers had made a further two arrests as part of the probe, a police spokesman said.

A 39-year-old man and a 40-year-old woman were detained on suspicion of ‘grooming’ this week.

The man has been freed on police bail to return to a police station in May, pending further inquiries and the woman was released without charge.

Police arrested 13 men in raids across Oxford on Thursday, March 22, after investigating the suspected ring since May last year.

Afghan refugee who said raping woman was part of ‘cultural differences’ is jailed for 14 years

An Afghan man who fled from the Taliban to begin a new life in Australia will spend the next 14 years behind bars after a judge rejected his claim that cultural differences had led to him raping a woman.

Esmatullah Sharifi, 30, was told by Judge Mark Dean in Melbourne that his background as a traumatised Muslim refugee was no excuse for the rape of a drunken and vulnerable teenager.

The judge noted that a psychologist had told the Victoria County Court in Melbourne that Sharifi, who arrived in Australia in 2001, had an ‘unclear concept of what constitutes consent in sexual relationships’.

Rejecting that argument, the judge said Sharifi’s background and flight from the Taliban was not an excuse for violence, telling the Afghan: ‘You well knew the victim was not consenting to the act of sexual penetration you performed.’

Cultural Enrichment News

This is another example of a brutal crime in Oslo in which any hint of ethnicity has been carefully cleansed from the Norwegian media report. Once again, I’ll offer to eat my pickelhaube if there turns out to be no cultural enrichment involved.

Our Norwegian correspondent The Observer, who translated the report, has this to say about it:

The article doesn’t mention that the perpetrators of this horrific incident were immigrants, but they did threaten her in English, so I think it’s fair to assume that they weren’t Norwegians.

Nor does the article mention anything about the ethnicity of the victim, but I wouldn’t be surprised if she turns out to be ethnic Norwegian. Most of the victims are.

Grünerløkka is a culturally enriched neighbourhood in Oslo.

Rape charge: Victim suffered a 12 cm [5 inch] gash to the throat

Two men have been charged in connection with a brutal assault rape in Grünerløkka in Oslo

The young female victim suffered several knife cuts to the throat and was raped repeatedly.

“Shut up or I will kill you,” [she was told this in English, which would tend to suggest that the perpetrators were foreigners. — translator] she was told by one of the accused when she started crying.

The rape occurred early in the morning on August 28 last year in an apartment complex in Kirkegårdsgata. The young woman had just entered the building when she was assaulted.

A successful businesswoman has told of her agony after being forced into an abusive marriage at the age of five – despite living in Britain.

Samina Shah, who is now in her 40s and too frightened to reveal her real name, spoke out after revelations that Britain’s Forced Marriage Unit had handled the case of another five-year-old girl last year.

Mrs Shah said she believed she was being dressed for her fifth birthday party on the day of the Islamic ceremony which effectively ended her childhood.

She told The Sun: ‘There was a lot of activity – a lot of relatives in the house. I was dressed up in an outfit which my mother-in-law had bought for me.

‘My sister told me later that my mother-in-law had said, “At last, the beautiful girl belongs to me!”‘

Pondering why a tiny girl from a large northern town would be forced to undergo such an ordeal, she said she thought it was to do with maintaining tradition – and control.

Mrs Shah was born into a close-knit Asian community, and while her family lived in Britain they remained true to the conventions of remote Pakistani villages.

Aged just 13, she was removed from school without explanation. Instead of an education, she was taught that a woman’s place was in the home – and reminded that the greater her sufferings on earth, the more lavish her reward would be in Paradise.

Samina was still a frightened girl of 14 when she went through the formal wedding ceremony which marked her transition from her parents’ house to that of her husband. At 6am the day after, she was forced onto a plane to Pakistan, told only that she would return to Britain with her husband when she reached 16.

Long before that time, the teenager endured the forced consummation of her marriage after suffering an appalling beating.

Forced marriage: Girl aged five among 400 minors helped

Back in the day we had names for ‘forced marriage’ that were actually meaningful. Rape and slave were two of them. Pedophilia was another. Of  course, the term ‘forced marriage’ is an oxymoron to us in the West and for me actually causes a kind of cognitive dissonance as of course, marriage by definition is a consensual contract between two adults. It cannot be forced or with a child by very definition.

bride's hands Forcing someone to marry against their will is already a criminal offence in Scotland

A five-year-old girl is thought to have become the UK’s youngest victim of forced marriage.

She was one of 400 children to receive assistance from the government’s Forced Marriage Unit in the last year.

The figures have emerged as the public consultation into criminalising forced marriage in England, Wales and Northern Ireland comes to an end.

Amy Cumming, joint head of the Forced Marriage Unit, said 29% of the cases it dealt with last year involved minors.

“The youngest of these was actually five years old, so there are children involved in the practice across the school age range,” she said.

To protect the child, the authorities have not disclosed details of the case or where the marriage took place.

But the case comes as no surprise to the Iranian and Kurdish Women’s Rights Organisation (IKWRO), which deals with more than 100 cases of forced marriage a year.

“We have had clients who are in their very early teens, 11-year-olds, 12-year-olds, the youngest case we had was nine years old,” said IKWRO campaigns officer Fionnuala Murphy.

Now the consultation on forced marriage has come to an end, IKWROs hope it will become a criminal offence.

“Our organisation is pro-criminalisation because we believe that it will empower victims to know that this is a crime, to stand up to their parents and to stand up for their own rights and it will enable them to come forward and seek help and say what’s happening to me is wrong.”

An asylum seeker has been jailed for punching a woman to the ground and raping her in a historic park – after being freed while he awaited deportation.

Palestinian Ali Aboalkassem, 29, was arrested by the UK Border Agency a year ago after he entered Britain illegally in a bid to claim asylum.

But immigration officials released him back into society on bail while they made arrangements for him to be deported.

The attacker approached his 32-year-old victim as she walked through Parker’s Piece, in the middle of historic Cambridge, and asked her for a light for a cigarette, then offered her an alcoholic drink.

When she declined he grabbed her and dragged her off the path, silencing her screams with punches before raping her on the grass.

He then stole her mobile phone and fled, leaving the distressed woman to flag down a passing cyclist who called the police.

Vimmerby Tidning: Worst crime ever Gang-rape without parallel in Swedish criminal history

From Gates of Vienna:

Quote (from image of Vimmerby Tidning headline at Avpixlat):

Gang-rape of mother of two in Mariannelund Asylum Centre “unprecedented in Swedish criminal history”

This story concerns the case of a brutal assault on a mother of two in December 2011, for which eight Afghans are now facing charges. The assault took place in the Mariannelund Asylum Centre and was extended over a seven-hour ordeal. According to the men, the victim was “a bad woman, and a whore.”

The woman went into shock while the rapes were still underway, and has since been in a heavily traumatised state. She is now subject to nightmares and panic attacks, and lives in a psychiatric clinic. She is bound to a wheelchair due to damages to her abdomen, and suffers from faecal incontinence. However, the woman has sufficiently recovered to testify in the trial. She has demanded damages of 1,250,000 Skr.
