REUTERS/Adnan Abidi/file photoMOIRANG/CHURACHANDPUR, India, Aug 8 (Reuters) - In the sectarian violence that has ravaged India's Manipur state, women have been victims of brutal attacks. Kukis say a loosely formed group of Meitei women, known as Meira Paibis, or Women Torchbearers, is responsible for instigating some of the rapes of women of the minority community. India's Supreme Court announced this week that it will monitor investigations into cases of sexual violence in the state. "Meira Paibis does not differentiate between Kuki or Meitei," she said, speaking alongside a group of other Meitei women. WORSE THAN ANARCHYThe women said they had heard of nine Meitei women being raped, but they had no evidence and were not directly aware of any incidents.

The Florida state representative who sponsored legislation opponents dubbed the “Don’t Say Gay” bill resigned Thursday, a day after he was accused of fraudulently obtaining tens of thousands of dollars from a federal Covid-relief program. State Rep. Joseph Harding, a Republican, said his resignation would be "effective immediately." He has been indicted on a slew of charges, including wire fraud, money laundering, making false statements and other crimes. He sponsored a bill this year prohibiting “classroom discussion about sexual orientation or gender identity” in the state’s primary schools. The bill, which was criticized as an attack on Florida’s LGBTQ community, was signed into law in March by Republican Gov.
☆ Legislator behind Florida's 'Don't Say Gay' law is accused of Covid-relief fraud

The Florida legislator who sponsored legislation critics dubbed the “Don’t Say Gay" bill was accused of illegally obtaining tens of thousands of dollars in Covid-relief funds, authorities said Wednesday. Joseph Harding, 35, was indicted on six counts of wire fraud, money laundering, making false statements and other crimes, the U.S. attorney’s office for Northern Florida said in a release. Harding sought more than $150,000 in loans and received roughly $45,000 in January and February 2021, according to the indictment. "This bill goes way beyond the text on its page," former Rep. Carlos Guillermo Smith, a Democrat who is gay, said in February. He could face 20 years in prison for the fraud charges, 10 years for money laundering and five years for making false statement, the release says.
