Eyes Gouged Out

A 6-year-old boy was recovering in hospital in China's Shanxi province today after his eyes were gouged out in an attack that has left him permanently blind, according to state media reports. Local police said a female suspect had gouged out the boy's eyes on Saturday evening, but ruled out the possibility that organ traffickers had carried out the attack. Earlier state media reports said the boy, named as Xiao Binbin from Fenxi County in Shanxi Province, was found four hours after he went missing in a drugged state and missing his eyeballs. That is not cool. Whoever did it should be lucky they didn't do it to my niece (pictured), or else I would be tracking down the bellend(s) responsible and then gouging their eyes out. But enough about that because a Muslim woman who says she was stopped at an airport without reasonable suspicion is awaiting a court ruling on whether her rights were breached. Sylvie Beghal was held at East Midlands Airport under anti-terrorism laws. Police did not suspect her of terrorism but wanted to speak to her about "possible involvement". To that end, Mrs Beghal, a French National living in the UK, was stopped by UK Border Agency staff in January 2011 after arriving on a flight from Paris. She was then questioned by police using powers conferred by Schedule 7 of the Terrorism Act 2000, but refused to answer some questions until her lawyer arrived. People held under Schedule 7 "must give the examining officer any information in his [or her] possession which the officer requests", and Mrs Beghal was charged with failing to comply. She pleaded guilty at Leicester Magistrates' Court and was given a 12-month conditional discharge. But she later took the case to the High Court on the grounds that stopping and questioning people without reasonable suspicion breached the European Convention. The Crown Prosecution Service disputed Mrs Beghal's claim and argued her rights had not been breached. That is bollocks. They only targeted Beghal because she was Muslim. Not all Muslims are terrorists, and not all terrorists are Muslim. It has been almost twelve years since 9/11, so they should've ended the witch-hunt long ago.
