☆ Forced marriage: She wanted ‘the world’ for her daughter. Instead, she got a landmark prison sentence
  + stars: | 2024-08-03 | by ( Hilary Whiteman | ) edition.cnn.com   time to read: +13 min
Jan is the first person in Australia to be convicted of forced marriage since it was criminalized in 2013. Sakina Muhammad Jan was the first person convicted under Australia's forced marriage laws. Some of the measures borrow from forced-marriage laws in Britain, where hundreds of people take out protection orders each year to thwart an impending forced marriage. Other countries such as France, Canada and Germany also have specific laws against forced marriage. A month before Jan’s sentencing, the immigration minister circulated a directive specifically naming the crime of forced marriage as serious enough to warrant the removal of a visa.

☆ Afghans in Pakistan say US help is so slow they're being sent back to the Taliban they fled
  + stars: | 2023-07-28 | by ( Nick Paton Walsh Alessia Tinti | Nick Paton Walsh | Alessia Tinti | ) edition.cnn.com   time to read: +6 min
CNN —Afghans who were promised a home in the United States after their country fell to the Taliban say they have waited so long for the US to process their applications that they are now being sent back to the enemy they fled. “They did not hand us over to the (Taliban) Afghan border forces,” he said. Many Afghans fled the Taliban after the August 15, 2021 fall of Kabul to the hard-line group. At least two Afghans awaiting P-2 visas have been swept up in this crackdown, CNN has learned, and complain of Pakistani police persecution. Afghans waiting in Pakistan have reported harassment by Pakistani police, including arrest and demands for money.

☆ China still conducting police activities in Germany -German ministries
  + stars: | 2023-05-15 | by ( ) www.reuters.com   time to read: +1 min
BERLIN, May 15 (Reuters) - German security authorities believe that China is still conducting police activities on German soil even though Beijing assured Berlin in February that it had ceased to do so, the German foreign and interior ministries said on Monday. "The security authorities continue to assume that there are two so-called overseas police stations in Germany," a spokesperson for the interior ministry said at a regular press conference. Berlin called on Beijing in November to shut down extraterritorial police stations in the country. The interior ministry spokesperson clarified that the police stations in question were "not fixed-location offices, but mobile facilities" from which Chinese and non-Chinese nationals were conducting "official duties" on behalf of Beijing. Germany is reassessing its bilateral relations with China amid increased wariness of Beijing as a strategic rival even as it remains Berlin's largest trading partner.
☆ China operating over 100 police stations across the world with the help of some host nations, report claims
  + stars: | 2022-12-04 | by ( Nina Dos Santos | ) edition.cnn.com   time to read: +11 min
Madrid-based human rights campaigner Safeguard Defenders says it found evidence China was operating 48 additional police stations abroad since the group first revealed the existence of 54 such stations in September. When approached by CNN last month about Safeguard Defenders’ original allegations, China’s foreign affairs ministry said the overseas stations were staffed by volunteers. However, the organization’s latest report claims one police network it examined had hired 135 people for its first 21 stations. The organization also sourced a three-year contract for a worker hired at an overseas station in Stockholm. The NGO determines Italy has hosted 11 Chinese police stations, including in Venice and in Prato, near Florence.
