-Lurid Crime Tales-
Afghan refugee sets himself on fire due to child pornography convictions in Australia
[Khaama (Afghanistan)] An Afghan refugee is at death's door after he set himself on fire due to child pornography convictions which led to cancellation of his permanent visa.

The man identified as Ali Jaffari was held at a West Australian immigration detention centre when he set himself on fire, Australia's Special Broadcasting Service (SBS) reported.

He is currently undergoing treatment at Fiona Stanley Hospital in Perth with the officials saying Jaffari has suffered burns to 90 per cent of his body.

Refugee Action Coalition front man Ian Rintoul told AAP the visa of Jaffari was cancelled in May last year and he has previously attempted to end his own life.

Rintoul further added that Jaffari had been held at the detention centre, 90km east of Perth, for about eight months.

Jaffari was charged with viewing child pornography on his laptop using free wi-fi for up to three hours a day at a Melbourne public library.

The court had also sentenced him to 300 hours of community service besides his visa was cancelled and placed on the sex offenders register for 15 years over an incident involving a teenage boy in Geelong in November 2012.

#2  IMO, that's an improvement over strapping on a bomb and killing a dozen innocent bystanders.

#3  Can we send him some lemon juice and salt water for his skin?

#4  Shouldn't we bathe him first in alcohol and iodine to ensure he doesn't get any infections?

#5  How about some naphtha and a 'do-over?'

#6  He came on a boats after flying in to Indonesia first with his passport and paying thousands of dollars to people smugglers to secure passage. He had money and ID.

He was in detention so long because they have to check he is who he says he is, and half of them throw away their ID and their passports, and make up a name. Don't know if this guy did that or not.

None of these people should be given diddly shit. They should be given a deportation flight back to Jakarta. Jakarta wants to let them fly in, Jakarta can keep them. He is a migrant not a refugee.

The refugees Australia should be taking are the 15,000 West Papuans running away from an Indonesian genocide, sitting over the border in PNG which the Indonesian military regularly crosses, kidnapping independence activists who have fled. Photographing the others and making dossiers. Those people need to come to Australia as the only safe haven. They are also Christians fleeing a Muslim genocide which is increasingly religious in nature with churches burned and children stolen and forced into madrassas.

Has anybody noticed the illegal migrants being sent to Australia by Muslim Indonesia are usually Muslim Afghans, Rohingyas etc? Transmigrassi

#7  so now this man is sucking dry my tax dollars being treated in a public hospital. Should have been sitting in Indonesia 12 hours after making landfall.

However. There is a problem here. The Australian public can no longer believe any accusation of wrongdoing based on what people have on their computers. Our government passed a law in November last year giving bureaucrats, cops and spies the right to hack all computers and plant, alter and delete information.

so nobody can believe what they say anymore. This right was passed in a bill that also gives them the right to break state, territory and commonwealth laws and that forces courts to accept illegally obtained evidence. NSA Bill No.1 did the damage.

So you see we have a problem here.

Because we did not deal with the problem of Islamofascism and the Islamist invasion the direct, right and honest way - declare the Islamofascist enemy and immediately deport illegal migrants -

then we have damaged up the laws of the country so that now you have a horrible case like this

horrible and totally unnecessary

Horrible because it *might* be true

But horrible also because it *might* be all lies and in fact is legal to do so if an SIO is declared, and as that SIO is secret we the public will not know about it.

So we no longer know if this kind of thing is true or not.

Our rulers have destroyed our trust in our security forces by giving them the right to break the law, to lie and plant information and the right to absolute secrecy.

All instead of just facing down the domestic opposition and doing the simple, clean and fair thing: deport.

Afghanistan
'Girl run away from home' incidents unprecedentedly increased in Daikundi
[Khaama (Afghanistan)] The Women Affairs Directorate of Daikundi province reports unprecedented increase in the incidents of girls leaving homes in order to marry according to their choices.

Zakia Razai, head of the Women Affairs Directorate of this province is quoted by VOA news as saying that it has turned into a tradition in this province that a girl would escape home in order to marry according to her choice.

She says it is rare to find a couple that has married as normal.

Razai said that Daikundi had record incidents of girls escaping from their homes in Afghanistan last year, adding that these incidents have increased violence against women, corruption and even the imprisonment of the escaped girls.

The Women Affairs Directorate of Daikundi has recorded 40 incidents of 'girl escaping home' in the first five months of the current year which shows an increase by %15 in comparison to the incidents recorded last year.

She says that these marriages usually do not last long and lead to divorce or violence against the girls.

She expressed concern
...meaning the brow was mildly wrinkled, the eyebrows drawn slightly together, and a thoughtful expression assumed, not that anything was actually done or indeed that any thought was actually expended...
over the matter and said that these incidents are rapidly increasing.

High cost of marriage, Mahr 'dowry' of up to 1,000,000 AFG against against the principals of and force marriage are said to be the main causes behind the incidents.

#2  "Our girls should be courted, not raffled?
And fillies prefer to be snaffled?
And you find our curbing
Such creatures disturbing?"
Afghani horsetraders are baffled.
