PORTSAID, EGYPT - FEBRUARY 1: Protesters approaching Mansheyya Square
-
Thousands went down to the streets on Friday in memory of the dozens killed in clashes with security forces, also in solidarity with local football fans sentenced to death.
Protesters demanded the downfall of President Mohamed Morsi and called for the army to take over. Some protesters even demanded the independence of Porsaid - to be a separate country from Egypt.
The violence started after 21 football fans were sentenced to death for their involvement in last year's stadium riot that left 74 dead.
Army was deployed to the streets after Morsi announced a curfew - a curfew defied by protesters - to be imposed in Portsaid, Ismailia and Suez.
On 21 August 2015, three judges of the Appeals Chamber held a hearing for the purpose of the review concerning the reduction of sentence of Mr Thomas Lubanga Dyilo, pursuant to article 110 of the Rome Statute.

Our innocent Schapelle today in tears after sentencing in Bali for 20
years.
A Bali court has sentenced our girl, Australian Schapelle Corby to 20
years in prison for trying to smuggle 4.1kgs of marijuana into
Indonesia.
Judges also fined Corby 100 million rupiah ($A13,875). Her lawyers
immediately said they would appeal. Prosecutors had sought a life
sentence.
"Longer sentence than the bali bombers? What did they get for their
hundreds of murders and lifelong injuries... two to three years.
That's your priorities for you.
The Indonesian police did not take fingerprints, nor take into account
vital evidence proving Corby's innocence. Many feel this is payback for
Australia's role as part of the Coalition of the Willing, bombing us
wasn't enough.
"I am devestated with the verdict of the Indonesian Courts for
Schapelle Corby. When the verdict was given, I fell into a bit of a
heap, but Schapelles strength made me gain my composure pretty quickly.
"I will continue to work with others to try and bring the girl home.
The Sentence Schapelle has recieved (sic) is absolutely bloody
disgusting - Australians need not travel to Bali or help Indonesia
anymore. They have done nothing for us or Schapelle. NO MORE HELPING
BALI - NO MORE MONEY FOR THEM
Where does our Government get off offering her the support of a QC
today after the vicious verdict was handed down.Too little too late for
our Indo bum sniffer PM.

History[edit]
Built in 1890, Cape Meares Light served as the light station for Tillamook Bay. When it was built, the lighthouse complex included two keeper's houses, two oil houses, and two cisterns, and was connected to the light by a 1,000-foot (300 m) boardwalk. Later additions included an attached workroom in 1895 and a garage in 1934.[1] The light itself was iron-plated, and due to its exposure to the elements, it required frequent repainting over the years. No foghorn was ever installed at Cape Meares. In 1934, the light received electricity. Now unnecessary, the oil houses were removed.[2]
In 1963, the lighthouse was deactivated and replaced by a newer tower.[1] The following year, the Coast Guard made plans to demolish the light. However, due to public outcry, the plans fell through, and the Coast Guard turned the station over to Tillamook County. The light remained vacant until 1968, when the site was turned over to the Oregon State Parks Department. During this time, vandalism became a major problem for the light. Eventually, the vandalism took its toll on the keeper's quarters and they were subsequently demolished. Among the damage, four of the bulls-eyes in the Fresnel lens were stolen. That same year, the light was opened up to the public and the light was restored, with the exception of the missing bulls-eyes. Since then, three of the four missing bulls-eyes have been recovered.[3] In 1980, the tower itself was opened to the public.[2]
The structure was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1993.[4]
The U.S. Coast Guard permanently switched off Cape Meares Light (LLNR 675) on Wednesday, June 25, 2014, as it is no longer considered necessary for safe navigation of the seacoast.[5]
2010 vandalism[edit]

Between the afternoon of January 9 and noon on January 10, 2010, an unknown vehicle reportedly drove down a blocked maintenance road to the lighthouse viewing area. A number of rounds were fired, breaking 15 of the lighthouse's windows and several parts of the historic Fresnel lens. Additional rounds were fired into a nearby active Coast Guard light and surrounding equipment. While driving off the maintenance road the suspect vehicle also caused significant damage to a grassy area. Damages were initially estimated to be over $50,000, but subsequent inspections have shown it may cost more than $500,000 to repair the lens. A park ranger stated that the lens was created in Paris in 1888 and had been shipped around the tip of South America to Oregon.[6] Early news reports stated a $1,000 reward was being offered for information leading to arrests, a figure which was raised to $3,000 by the evening of January 11.[6][7] On February 10, two Oceanside men, Zachary Jon Pyle, age 23 and David Regin Wilks Jr., age 26, were arrested in connection with the vandalism.[8] At the time of the arrests the reward figure had climbed to $6,000. The men were convicted and received a creative sentence by a Tillamook County District Court judge. David Wilkes Jr. and Zachary Pyle were ordered to pay $100,000 to the lighthouse and serve three 16-day jail terms over three years. Each jail term will start on December 27, which coincides with the date of the vandalism. They served their first sentence from December 27, 2010, to January 11, 2011, and they will do so again at the end of the this year and the end of next year.
The men, who admitted they were drunk at the time, said it was the dumbest thing they had ever done. In handing down the sentence, the judge said, "Some people go to Hawaii for vacation and some people go to jail. The next three years will serve as a reminder, and you are going to get some time to contemplate that." as quoted in a news story at Lighthouse Digest.[9]

Steven sat nervously on the edge of the examination table. He mused that time must crawl to a halt inside a doctor's office. It seemed that he had been sitting there for hours waiting to hear the bad news, when in fact he knew it must have only been five, ten minutes tops.
He had researched his symptoms endlessly: Loss of appetite, sleeplessness, headaches, and a general malaise that trailed him everywhere like an unwanted stray. It would be only moments before the doctor would confirm what he already knew: he had cancer... probably leukemia.
By preparing himself ahead of time, he figured he could skip the first four stages and go right to the last one: acceptance. He already planned out he would break the news to his friends and family. He would urge them not to cry for him and that he lived a full, albeit, shortened existence and they would just have to carry on without him the best they could. He would undoubtedly have to give up the partnership track at his accounting firm that he toiled over for the last few years so he could enjoy the few, remaining months he would have left. Probably his fiancee would be the hardest hit; he would break off the engagement knowing it was in her best interest not marry a man who had no future.
A cold breeze washed over him when the door to the examination room flew open. The doctor appeared, an elder man in his early seventies, chart in hand.
"Hey Steven. Well I've got your blood results here. Cholesterol...good, triglycerides...good, red blood cells, white blood cells, platelets, enzymes...all normal."
"In other words, you're healthy as a horse"
Steven shook his head in disbelief. "You mean I don't have cancer?"
"Cancer? What? No, of course not!"
"Nope, your going to live a long, healthy time on this planet. "
Before the doctor turned away, he added with a smile...
"I'm afraid it's a life sentence for you!"

Five members of United Cafeteria and Restaurant Workers union Local 471 are sentenced to six months in jail for clashes on the picket line during their 78-day strike in 1948.
The April 18, 1948 Washington Post article reports on the sentences that were given after the strike was settled.
As the article reports, the harsh sentences were designed to send a message to Local 471 and other unions.

In Boston, about 45 demonstrators, including a dozen speakers, out for Pvt. Manning on the day of her sentencing. A number of speakers took up the PVT Manning Support Network's call to urge people to sign the petition at pardon.privatemanning.org that calls on President Obama to issue a pardon. Other speakers expressed the view that this approach will be ineffective and that other approaches need to be considered. Everyone who spoke agreed that the 35 year sentence for acts of whistle-blowing is excessive. A number of folks discussed the issues with onlookers and passers-by.

Continuing from “A true and exact relation of the death of TWO CATHOLICKS...” (1737)-
“The Sentence was to be attended with further Cruelty; the Gaoler conveying the Prisoner back, had Orders by the Sheriff from the Judge to load him with the heaviest Irons. He had been commanded before to put the servant of GOD into a Dungeon without Light, and far from Company; but the Gaoler signifying there was no such Place, he was recommended to the worst he had. When he was loaded with those heavy Irons, he was so oppressed with the Weight, that he was rather carried, than walked. In this Conjuncture he recited in an audible Manner the 'Miserere' one of the Psalms of the Royal Prophet's Penitence....* He then was confined to a little darksome Place, where he could not lie, but was forced to sit with a little Bolster that the Humanity of the Gaoler offorded him to lean upon. The News of his Condemnation struck even the Felons and Malefactors with Horror of the Judge's Cruelty, and Compassion to the Prisoner, whose Virtues and Innocence could charm a Gaol, but had no Force on a merciless Judge. The confused Noise of their Groans, and Outcries was so great, as to be heard at a very great Distance.
The weight of heavy Bolts oppressed a weak Body, but were no Incumberance to a Soul longing for Eternity, Pious Breathings, fiery and warm Aspirations, a joyful Prospect of the eternal Years, in which he was to be united by everlasting Love and Contemplation to his Creator, took up the short Remains of his Life. He was watched Day and Night by three or four of the Sheriff's Men; no one was permitted Access, by severe Orders from the Judge under the Forfeiture of £100. He continued thus from Tuesday about one or two, till Thursday about twelve, with little or no Nourishment, as appeared from the Emptiness of his Bowels at his Execution.
A severe Order had been given by the Judge to admit no one to the Prisoner, but only as a Hindrance of any Comfort from Friends; for the Justice-Parson Mr LEIGH, so often mentioned, was allowed to visit him in his Shackles; and came to challenge him to a Dispute without witnesses...; by this mean Artifice to obliterate F ARROWSMITH's Success; and boast, that he had non-plused his Adversary the Prisoner.... He prudently rejected this unsincere Proposal of a Person, who, not long before, had falsely reported Advantages, which he never got, in a Dispute with a learned Catholick Gentleman... On the other Side, it was not so easy for Catholicks to speak to the Prisoner: A Catholick Gentleman was seen, by some busy Body, at the Door; upon which he was detained, but soon after called to the Bar; and examined, what Business he had there, he pretended some Excuse, and was dismissed...
The holy Missionary's Body was confined, his Zeal could not. He that had been indefatigable in his Duty, gave himself no Rest in Gaol: His Charity and Zeal of Souls continued with him, he exhorted the Prisoners to their Duty, and his Words had such Power and Efficacy, that he engaged the Felons and made them his Friends, He preached the Gospel with Success, and converted one, who followed him in his Death...”.
The parallel text of 1630 has Edmund Arrowsmith
“so loaden wth Irons that he could not go, but was fain to be carryed to Prison, & there shut up in so little & narrow a Closet that he was not able to lie in it, & there was kept apart from his old fellons, ye Judge secretly charging the head Sheriff that none so speak with him under 100 l fine, & so day & night was he still attended upon by 2 of the Sheriff's men their Turns about till Thursday at one a Clock after Dinner being S Augustin's day....”.
The “darksome Place” or “little & narrow Closet” may well have been the tiny cell, also known as The Smoothing Iron, which can still be seen in Hadrian's Tower at Lancaster Castle. It is shown above on 7 February 2018 along with (right, top) some of the instruments of restraint and torture now displayed there.
The illustration -“They load him with the greatest and heaviest irons in the castle”- is from an account of Edmund Arrrowsmith's martyrdom in “A Complete Modern British Martyrology...” (London: T Jones, 1836), where it is credited to W H Craig.
*Psalm 51 (Masoretic numbering; otherwise 50): “Have mercy upon me, O God, according to thy lovingkindness...”; in the Vulgate: “Miserere mei, Deus, secundum misericordiam tuam...”.
