Buttigieg, two years into Biden’s Cabinet, ‘not planning on going anywhere’

[ad_1]

He noted that the decision on how long he’ll head up the Transportation Department is ultimately “above his pay grade” and that he serves “at the pleasure of the president for the time being,” as it says on the certificate on his wall. “Every political appointee accepts that,” he said.
Still, he said, he has no current plans to leave.
“I love this job and I feel like we’re right in the middle of the action,” he said. “I’m not planning on going anywhere because we’re smack in the middle of historic work.”
He said his job leading DOT is “taking 110 percent of my attention and energy” and that he thinks it’s “the best job in the federal government — even if it’s pretty demanding some days.”
“It’s a privilege to be doing the work,” he said. “That’s what I’m going to be doing.”

After two years in jail, Kerala journalist Siddique Kappan walks free

[ad_1]
After spending two years in Lucknow jail, Kerala journalist Siddique Kappan finally walked out free on Thursday. The sessions court had ordered his bail the previous day.
“I will continue my fight against draconian laws. They kept me in jail even after I got bail. I don’t know who’s benefiting from me being in jail. These two years were very tough, but I was never afraid,” he told NDTV after his release.
Kappan was arrested by the Uttar Pradesh police in October 2020 while on his way to Hathras district where a Dalit woman had died after being allegedly gang raped. A case was lodged under the draconian UAPA (Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act).
He was arrested by the Mathura police for having links with the Popular Front of India and being a part of a “conspiracy” to instigate violence.
However, after the Supreme Court of India granted bail to the journalist in the UAPA on September 9 and Allahabad High Court also granted the same in the PMLA (Prevention of Money Laundering Act), Kappan’s release was marred by difficulties in finding two local sureties.
A surety is a person that assures the defendant will attend his or her court hearing after being granted bail.
In 2020, a Dalit woman was allegedly gang-raped in the Hathras district of Uttar Pradesh. Her body was cremated by the police and village administration without the knowledge of her family members leading to widespread protests and condemnation.

Iran sentences couple for over 10 years in prison after dancing in public

[ad_1]
Tehran: An Iranian couple was sentenced to 10 and a half years in jail on Tuesday for dancing in Azadi Square in Iran’s capital Tehran.

The 16-second video clip, posted on Instagram, showed the couple dancing romantically without the fiancee wearing a headscarf, which activists considered a symbol of defiance of the regime.
Haghigi did not wear a headscarf in defiance of the strict dress code imposed on women in Iran, where women are not allowed to dance in public or mix with men.
Watch the video below
Haghigi and Ahmadi were reportedly arrested on November 10 in 2022, after their video went viral.
Tehran court sentenced each of them to ten years and six months in prison, a two-year ban from using the internet, and a two-year ban from leaving the country, according to the Human Rights Activists News Agency (HRANA).
Protests in Iran continues
Iran has been witnessing protests since the death of 22-year-old Mahsa Amini, on September 16, after she was arrested in Tehran by the morality police on suspicion of not respecting the country’s dress code.
The demonstrations involved people from all walks of life and different sects in Iran after Amini’s killing.

Iranian women are at the fore in the demonstrations, in which many young people participate, to chants of “Woman life freedom” and “Death to the dictator.”
The protests represent one of the country’s boldest challenges since the 1979 revolution.

Telangana: 8 years after domestic violence case filed, 7 receive 2 years jail term

[ad_1]
Hyderabad: Seven members of a family were handed a two-year jail term, eight years after a case of domestic violence and dowry harassment was filed against them.
The accused included a husband and six in-laws, of the victim from Ramannapet village in Yadadri Bhuvanagiri district of Telangana.
Ramannapet Police had received a complaint from Akkanpally Sreesha, 29 in August 2015, of her being harassed by her inlaws physically and mentally, for an additional dowry.
According to the police, Sreesha got married to 37-year-old Ravi and has a son from their marriage. She was married to her husband along with Rs 10 lakh, 15 gm gold, and household articles as dowry from her parents.
Six months into their marriage her husband A Ravi, mother-in-law Koteshwari, her brother-in-law Kiran, her sister-in-laws C Kalyani and her husband C Srikanth Reddy, J.Janaki Ram, J Laxmi started harassing her for an additional dowry of Rs 5 lakh from her parents.
Sreesha informed her parents of the trauma after which they intervened in the matter in view of the settlement.
Even after their effort, the harassment continued, following which Sreesha’s parents called for a panchayat session in November 2013 and the matter was resolved.
However, the accused subsequently forced the victim to write a note stating that her husband and inlaws will not be responsible if she commits suicide

Sreesha approached the police following the gruesome act, and a case was registered under section 498(A) (harassment of the woman) of the Indian Penal Code, and section 3 (presents which are given at the time of a marriage to the bride) of DP Act in Ramannapet police station Rachakonda.
A probe into the matter revealed the accused to be guilty in the court trial on January 31, 2023, where the Ramannapet court convicted the accused people to undergo 2 years imprisonment and imposed a fine of Rs 1 thousand on each of them.

Southwest hires its first new lobbyist in years amid multi-prong controversies

[ad_1]

Southwest Airlines has brought on new lobbying firepower for the first time in almost half a decade, as the airline weathers new scrutiny in Washington over the scheduling meltdown last month.
The carrier hired former Rep. Jerry Costello (D-Ill.) earlier this month to lobby on the upcoming Federal Aviation Administration reauthorization, according to disclosures filed over the weekend. The Illinois Democrat, who left Congress in 2013 after 25 years in the House, previously served as chair of the aviation subcommittee of the House Transportation and Infrastructure panel.
The airline spent $1.1 million on federal lobbying last year — the same as in the previous year. But Costello’s firm is the first new addition to Southwest’s roster of outside lobbyists — which already includes fellow former lawmakers Kit Bond and Kenny Hulshof — since 2018, when lawmakers were crafting the last FAA reauthorization.
