NEWS GLOBAL




THIS WEEK'S STORIES
From a myriad of news and feature articles published throughout the world each week, a selection is made to republish on Connect. From those selected, our local editorial team choose specific themes to share.
Our intention is to make available thought provoking articles on major topics of interest in today's world. Whilst we have no answers, we understand enough to know, we all need to ask searching questions.
We hope you find the selection valuably informative.

JIMMY WINS A PARTIAL VICTORY
This is a legal victory - but alas, only a small one. The Chinese gov't have J.Lai where he's silenced - in prison for his remaining life. But his supporters are not silenced - so who is listening to them?

POLICE FAIL TO PROTECT WOMEN
Female genital mutilation [FGM] - plus "honour" killings and forced marriages are going on in Britain - and the police aren't prosecuting. Why are they protecting the perpetrators of these hideous crimes?
