Did Hunter use classified documents as part of his Ukraine business dealings?
By Andrea Widburg
Two Biden scandals are converging: (1) Joe’s illegal possession of classified documents and (2) the contents of that genuine, 100%, all-real Hunter Biden hard drive. The conversation isn’t only pictures of Hunter Biden, drug addict and “international businessman,” suspiciously close to the garage trove of classified documents; it’s also a compelling claim that, on at least one occasion, Hunter Biden sent his business partners an email that has the smell of a reworked classified briefing.
From the moment in October 2020 when the New York Post broke the news about Hunter Biden’s laptop, Miranda Devine has been all over the laptop story. She’s probably one of the few people with the breadth and depth of knowledge that allows her to suggest that one of Hunter Biden’s business emails, written while he was on Burisma’s payroll, seems awfully like a classified briefing, not a typical Hunter scribble.
In an article entitled “There’s no hiding Biden’s fright over classified document scandal,” Devine notes that many of the documents being discovered, to the extent we know anything about them, are from 2013 through 2016 and include intelligence memos and briefing materials from multiple foreign countries, including Ukraine and China. Devine explains, “That three-year period corresponds to the most frenetic influence-peddling activity overseas by his son Hunter and brother Jim Biden, who made millions of dollars from shady interests in Ukraine, China, Russia and elsewhere.”
However, just because things happen at the same time does not mean they’re related. Devine, thankfully, is too good an analyst to stop with mere temporal correlation. Instead, she assembles other pivotal facts: (1) The laptop reveals Joe’s involvement in Hunter’s business deals; (2) Hunter traveled on Air Force 2 with his Dad to countries that figure in both the stolen documents and Hunter’s deals; (3) during the key time period, Hunter lived in the Delaware mansion in which documents were found and drove the Corvette parked next to documents; and (4) during the same time period, Hunter had unlimited access to Biden’s official White House office.
What really grabs Devine is a “striking email.” The predicate for Devine’s analysis is that most people have a distinctive writing style. Hunter’s consistent writing style is terse, ungrammatical, poorly spelled, and poorly organized. That’s why it sticks out a mile when he suddenly writes an email showing none of those traits:
It was from Hunter to Archer on April 13, 2014, a week before Joe Biden visited Ukraine to meet then-Prime Minister Arseniy Yatsenyuk and refers to “my guys upcoming travels.”
For Hunter, it was an uncharacteristically lengthy email, listing 22 points about Ukraine’s political situation, with detailed information about the upcoming election and predicting an escalation of Russia’s “destabilization campaign, which could lead to a full-scale takeover of the eastern region, most critically Donetsk.
“The strategic value is to create a land bridge for RU to Crimea. That won’t directly affect Burisma holdings but it will limit future UK exploration and utilization of offshore opportunities in particular,” Hunter wrote.
“It will also result in further destabilization of UK nationally and for whatever govt is in power. And the US will respond with even stronger sanctions. Those sanctions will threaten the tenuous support of the EU which does not have the political will to incur steep energy price increases.”
In point 22, Hunter instructed Archer to buy a “burner phone,” presumably to keep their conversations private. “Buy a cell phone from a 7/11 or CVS tmrw and ill do the same.”
It’s a prescient and very well-informed email, unlike anything else Hunter wrote in the nine years covered in the laptop, and it has the distinct flavor of an official briefing, perhaps even a classified one.
To check if Hunter copied from a website, I ran through Grammarly’s excellent plagiarism tool, one of the phrase’s Devine reprints, the one beginning “The strategic value is to create….” Grammarly returned only one match, and it was to Devine’s article. Hunter didn’t download his analysis from some online news or analysis site. Those words came from a source to which the ordinary public has no access.
Currently, there’s no proof; only suspicions. But Devine is right to be suspicious when a drug-addled man who writes in a semi-literate, marginally informed, telegraphic style suddenly bursts forth with a highly detailed, deeply knowledgeable, well-organized, and literate analysis of a complex foreign situation.
That the Democrat establishment is now desperate to rid itself of Joe Biden is obvious. Biden’s departure, however, standing alone, isn’t necessarily good for conservatives. The best outcome isn’t just Joe’s removal but also the entire corrupt Democrat establishment’s collapse. Sadly, the Democrats and the Deep State are adept at protecting their interests, even as they pull down everything else around them.
J.K. Rowling Questions Why Left Politicians Photographed In Front of ‘Decapitate Terfs’ Sign
A number of politicians within the progressive Scottish National Party have come under fire after reportedly being pictured by a sign calling for trans-critical “terfs” to be beheaded.
A number of MPs and one MSP within the ruling Scottish National Party (SNP) have been roundly criticised after images emerged of them at a protest standing beside a sign calling for individuals critical of transgenderism — sometimes known by the neologism “terf” — to be beheaded.
The pictures were reportedly taken at a demonstration protesting the UK government’s decision to block a law that would allow children aged sixteen years and over to legally declare their own gender without medical supervision which was recently passed by the Scottish parliament.
According to a report by The Telegraph, MPs for the SNP Alison Thewliss, Kirsten Oswald and Stewart McDonald were all pictured standing near the handmade sign, which read “decapitate terfs” alongside images of heats and a guillotine.
The representatives have reportedly claimed that, despite the allegedly accurate images, they were unaware of the sign at the demonstration.
Also snapped beside the sign was SNP member of the devolved Scottish parliament in Holyrood Kaukab Stewart, who is also reported as denying being aware of the sign while present at the demonstration.
Such a claim has been mocked by some online, with famous author and women’s rights campaigner J.K. Rowling posting a picture of Stewart near the sign with the caption “I too beam with delight when having my photograph taken with things of which I am entirely unaware”.
Meanwhile, some members of the UK Conservative Party have called for a criminal investigation to take place into the existence of the sign, with some representatives seemingly keen to brand it as a form of hate speech.
“As this display of this appalling sign is clearly a hate crime and a public order offence, I have reported the matter to [Police Scotland] and would encourage others to do so,” Murdo Fraser, a Tory representative within the Scottish parliament, wrote online, adding that “[s]uch behaviour should not be tolerated in our society”.
Such censorious demands appear to have been met by police in the country, with The Times reporting that an investigation is now underway into the “hateful” banners present at the demonstration.
Australia: Death by Heart Attack Surges by 17% in 2022 – What Changed?
Time Shows That The ‘Paranoid’ People Were Correct About COVID
By Huck Davenport
We are now three years after the COVID-19 apocalypse began, and the CDC and WHO still refuse to acknowledge that the virus was created in and escaped from the Wuhan Institute of Virology (WIV). But they, along with all our institutions, have lied so often and so egregiously that 72% of the public doesn’t believe them. If nothing else, that is a very positive sign.
The evidence for the lab leak is as overwhelming as the evidence for a zoonotic origin is non-existent. For anyone trained in the art of biology to deny the lab origin betrays either deceit or, worse, willful ignorance.
Here I examine just three facts that together, if not singularly, prove dispositively that SARS-CoV-2 was a man-made lab creation. Not least of which is that they told us exactly what they were going to do.
Viruses are obligate intracellular parasites composed of genetic material—codonsthat specify the specific amino acids (there are 20) used to construct proteins—that hijack the machinery of the cell to produce more viruses.
This is no easy task and, to do so, viruses are extremely specialized and highly specific to their host. Viruses can and do randomly mutate; that is, they undergo random changes to their genetic code that can give them fitness in another host, albeit infrequently. Once they get a foothold in a new host, they continue to evolve by natural selection, making themselves better adapted to reproduce in their new host.
One key factor for a virus to be successful in a new host is to have a highly tuned receptor binding domain (RBD). The RBD allows the virus to recognize the host cell, bind to it, and get inside. In SARS, the RBD is 201 codons long. Jesse Bloom of Caltech analyzed the RBD codon sequence to determine what sequence would maximize binding to human cells. Of the 4000 possible combinations, SARS-CoV-2 showed up on day one over 99% optimized—only 21 codons short of perfection. As a verification of the validity of Bloom’s work, one of those 21 codons was later found in the more contagious Omicron variant to have mutated to Bloom’s prediction.
To put this in context, when SARS-CoV-1 crossed over to humans, its RBD was only 15% optimized, and there is a long chain of documented mutations in its RBD that eventually gave it the ability to be transmitted from human to human. How could SARS-CoV-2 have been so pre-perfected?
Ralph Baric of UNC, a co-author of several papers with the WIV on bat coronavirus, experimented with transgenic mice — mice genetically altered to have humanized lung tissue — as early as 2005 to demonstrate they could be infected with human coronaviruses. In his statement before Congress, Dr. Steven Quay testified that “the WIV has acknowledged that for several years they’ve worked with humanized mice developed in Dr. Ralph Baric’s laboratory.”
Humanized mice are the perfect vehicle for researchers to develop viruses optimized for human infectivity. Quay continued, “a commonly used gain-of-function method to optimize the COVID virus would have been by serial passage in a laboratory on a humanized, genetically modified mouse that can develop a human-like pneumonia. You infect the mice, wait a week or so, and then recover the virus from the sickest mice. Then you repeat. In a matter of weeks this directed evolution will produce a virus that can kill every humanized mouse.”
Once bound, there is still a highly complicated molecular ballet the virus must perform to gain entry. One vital step is the cleavage of the spike protein, which activates viral fusion with the cell membrane. Many viruses, including the deadliest, like Ebola, have furin cleavage sites (FCS) in their spike proteins to facilitate cleavage. However, in the clade of viruses containing SARS-CoV-2, Sarbecoviruses, none had an FCS…until now.
Since the effectiveness of the FCS was demonstrated in a 2004 paper, inserting it into viruses to increase infectivity has long been a staple of gain-of-function researchers. As early as 2006, FCS modifications were being made: “We show that furin cleavage at the modified R667 position generates discrete S1 and S2 subunits and potentiates membrane fusion activity.” Baric teamed up with the WIV and submitted a proposal to DARPA for funding to continue FCS work: “We will analyze all SARS-CoV gene sequences for … potential furin cleavage sites.”
If the multitude of papers and proposals telling us they are inserting FCS isn’t enough, there is also a molecular fingerprint to their handiwork. There are several ways to create an FCS, but they all include adding the amino acid arginine (Arg) at the site. Six different codons will specify an Arg, but in Sarbecoviruses, Nature prefers some and disfavors others. The codon used in SARS-CoV-2, CGG, is the least common of the six, representing just 1.5% of the total Arg codons. But wait: They inserted two of them, back to back. This is not surprising because CGG is the codon widely used in labs for Arg for over a decade.
When virologist and Nobel Prize winner David Baltimore first saw that the FCS was inserted in SARS-CoV-2, he said it “was the smoking gun for the [lab] origin of the virus.” To his credit, even with the vicious condemnation by his institutional betters, his later retraction was hardly a retraction:
[I] should have softened the phrase ‘smoking gun’ because I don’t believe that it proves the origin of the furin cleavage site but it does sound that way. I believe that the question of whether the sequence was put in naturally or by molecular manipulation is very hard to determine but I wouldn’t rule out either origin.
It is almost comical to read the fact check pages declaring the FCS insertion “factually inaccurate” with half-truths: “The CGG CGG genetic sequence and furin cleavage sites also exist in naturally-occurring viruses.”
True, the CGG codon pair does exist, rarely, in other coronaviruses, but not the Sarbecovirus clade, not the Pangolin viruses often alluded to as the source, nor any of the closely related bat viruses. And in the coronaviruses with a CGG codon pair, it’s not located in the FCS. And the same is true of FCS itself. Yes, some coronaviruses have FCS, but again, not any in the Sarbecovirus clade. There are literally 1000 years of evolution between coronaviruses that have FCS and the Sarbecovirus clade.
As powerful as the RBD optimization and FCS insertion are for the lab origin, both pale compared to the molecular fingerprint left by lab codon optimization. I already mentioned that different codons can code for the same amino acid and that Nature prefers some codons over others. Well, it turns out, so do labs. As long strands of RNA are fed into the cellular machinery to be translated into proteins, the RNA’s secondary structure, depending on the specific codons, can form internal loops impeding translation. Naturally, labs favor codons that avoid this problem as long as they code for the same amino acid.
Consequently, as standard practice, researchers optimize their choice of codons when synthesizing genetic material. The closest genetic match for SARS-CoV-2 is a virus, RaTg13, that killed 6 miners exposed to bat guano in a cave in China’s Yunnan Province in 2012 with symptoms nearly identical to Covid. Analysis of the coding regions for the spike protein in both viruses yielded 200 mutations, all of them synonymous. That is, the codon was changed but still coded for the same amino acid.
Every time there is a mutation to a codon, there is only a 15% chance it will be synonymous. The likelihood that 200 synonymous mutations occurred by chance is so low it wouldn’t be expected to happen in the expected lifetime of the universe. Clearly, the WIV used codon optimization in creating SARS-CoV-2.
There is much more proof, especially the modifications to SARS-CoV-2’s ORF8, endowing it with the diabolical ability to be transmitted asymptomatically, but looking further, at this point, is superfluous.
Six million dead worldwide, the entire world economy ravaged, trust in our institution destroyed, and all because cavalier gain-of-function researchers in Wuhan, financed and assisted by the U.S. government, created and accidentally (at least, we hope) unleashed its chimeric Frankenstein pathogen into the world—all in the name of science. Many of the world’s worst have done less damage in the name of genocide and conquest.
Asylum seeker convicted in UK of murder shot 2 people dead in Serbia and dealt drugs in Italy before heading to Britain
The life of crime of an Afghan asylum seeker living in Britain was made public on Monday following his conviction for the murder of an aspiring Royal Marine who was stabbed to death after an altercation in the English town of Bournemouth last year.
Lawangeen Abdulrahimzai, 21, was found guilty of murder at Salisbury Crown Court on Monday, after plunging a 10 cm knife into the chest of 21-year-old Thomas Roberts during a row over an e-scooter in the early hours of March 12 last year. His victim is understood to have been attempting to keep the peace between his friend and Abdulrahimzai.
Following the verdict, Abdulrahimzai’s violent past came to light, as it was revealed the Afghan asylum seeker had already been convicted in absentia by a Serbian court for a double murder and was found guilty of dealing drugs in Italy as he traveled freely across Europe.
Abdulrahimzai’s uncle reportedly helped him be smuggled out of Afghanistan into Pakistan in 2015 over concern for his safety. He claimed the Taliban had killed his parents after suspecting them of working with NATO and told the court he had been tortured by the militants, including an incident in which he said he was stabbed 28 times.
Abdulrahimzai subsequently made his way through Iran and along the Western Balkan migratory route, through Turkey and Bulgaria, into Serbia.
Prosecutor Ellie Fargin told the court that Abdulrahimzai had received a 20-year prison sentence in Serbia for shooting two migrants dead outside a refugee center.
Abdulrahimzai fled the country and spent time in Norway and Italy. He had an asylum request rejected by the former in 2019 and was convicted of dealing drugs in the latter, for which he received a non-custodial sentence after pleading guilty.
He subsequently traveled to France where he took the ferry to England. He told border officials he was a 14-year-old schoolboy and was placed into foster care.
He was under the guardianship of Nicola Marchant-Jones in early 2020, who recounted to the court how Abdulrahimzai frequently suffered from night terrors, regularly carried a knife, and said the killer had a “Jekyll and Hyde” personality.
“He would go from zero to 100 almost instantly,” a statement by Ms. Marchant-Jones read.
“I was always worried he would do something with a knife, particularly when reporting he was missing to police,” it added.
Numerous troubling incidents during his time in the U.K. were recounted by Ms. Marchant-Jones before the attack that killed Mr. Roberts in March last year.
She told the court how Abdulrahimzai had been involved in street fights for money, had engaged in altercations with people at the Alton Towers theme park during a visit, and had posted footage on social media of himself beating up an older man with the caption, “We are Afghan, we keep it real.”
Following an altercation in 2021, where Ms. Marchant-Jones was nearly headbutted by the killer during an argument, he was removed from her care.
After his arrest on suspicion of murder in March last year, Abdulrahimzai attempted to con U.K. police by telling them he was 16 years old in order to be treated as a minor.
Following age verification checks by U.K. authorities, he was determined to be an adult born in October 2001 and was thus 20 at the time of the attack.
UK: Pakistani national Abdul Wahab sentenced to life imprisonment after he admits torturing and killing his 5-year-old stepdaughter
On January 19 (Thursday), a Pakistani national named Abdul Wahab was sentenced to life imprisonment by the Belfast Crown Court in the United Kingdom after he admitted to torturing and murdering his 5-year-old stepdaughter.
The 5-year-old, Nadia Zofia Kalinowska was found dead at the family home at Fernagh Drive in Newtownabbey in December 2019.
Her mother, Aleksandra Wahab, 28, and the child’s stepfather, Abdul Wahab, 34, were charged with murder on Wednesday at Belfast Crown Court.
On Thursday, when the case was resumed, Abdul Wahab pleaded guilty to murder. The judge, Justice O’Hara, sentenced Wahab to life imprisonment and charged him with two counts of severe bodily harm with intent. A minimum period before he can be released will be determined at a later date, the court ruled.
According to reports, the accused had brutally assaulted the 5-year-old on two occasions. Once, sometime between July 1 and December 14, 2019, and the second time merely 24 hours before she died.
Nadia Zofia Kalinowska was pronounced dead at the Royal Victoria Hospital for Sick Children in the early hours of December 15, 2019
An autopsy examination revealed that Nadia died as a result of a fractured skull and lacerated liver. The examination further revealed several pre-existing injuries, indicating the five-year-old girl had been exposed to a long-running abuse campaign.
Her ribs had been fractured and re-fractured. She also suffered fractures to her collarbone, pelvis and bowel injuries.
Pathologists said they identified 70 surface injuries, including cuts and bruises, on the youngster’s body. The injuries were reported as being comparable to those found on car crash victims.
Nadia’s mother Aleksandra Wahab has been charged with negligence and allowing the long-term abuse of the child.
The post-mortem report led the Crown to believe that Nadia had been subjected to a campaign of physical abuse by her parents, which resulted in her death.
Green party moves to ban certain pets in Germany
The Green party is moving to ban certain pets from Germany, with the party working to create a list that clarifies which animals are allowed to be kept in households.
German Agriculture Minister Cem Özdemir (Greens) announced he is moving forward with a ban on certain pets, saying, “Why does someone need exotic animals that are difficult to keep, such as snakes or a chameleon, at home? I never understood that.”
The Green party has been active in calling for a ban or restrictions on pets in the past. For example, the Green party branch in the city of Bremen called for restrictions on the number of cats and dogs an individual pet owner could have in his or her house. At the same time, the party also wanted to impose regulations that made it difficult to purchase cats and dogs in shops, with the politician saying that the animals should no longer be freely available.
“Animals are not things and should therefore not be traded like them,” said Philipp Bruck, the Greens spokesman for animal policy in 2021. The Bremen Greens also demanded that people obtain a license to own a pet.
There are 14.7 million cat owners and 10.1 million dog owners in Germany; however, there are also 5.2 million people who own “small animals.” It is unclear how many of those in the “small animal” category will fall under the ban on exotic animals being proposed by the federal government.
In the past, some representatives of the Greens have called for a ban on all pets, including cats and dogs; however, such a proposal has not yet been entertained by any Green politicians in the federal government. Those opposed to cats have also labeled them “bird killers” that should only be kept in closed apartments and no longer be allowed to access outdoor areas.
The Green minister, Özdemir, wants to draw up a “positive list,” with only animal species on the list permitted to be kept as pets.
“Some people get animals that I don’t think have any place in private households,” the minister said.
The 57-year-old minister said that there is a serious crisis in animal shelters, many of which are being confronted with a large number of exotic animals that people have abandoned. Such animals often have high costs associated with their upkeep, and it can be time- and labor-intensive to ensure proper care.

French pension reform: 150 000 young demonstrators according to organisers
Some 150 000 students marched in Paris on January 21 against pension reform, according to the youth organisations that initiated the demonstration, but only 14 000 according to sources close to the Macron administration.
Two days after the day of protest against pension reform called by the unions, it was the turn of youth organisations to march in the capital on Saturday. “We are 150 000. The #March21January is a huge success,” wrote Colin Champion, president of the union La Voix Lycéenne, on Twitter, while L’Alternative, another student union, hailed “a very massive mobilisation at the call of the youth”.
This figure was also taken up by La France insoumise (LFI), a supporter of the demonstration, and other youth movements within the parties present in the march. Jean Luc Mélenchon criticised the Occurrence tally. According to Occurrence carried out for a group of media, including AFP, the procession was made up of only 14 000 people between the Place de la Bastille and the Place de la Nation.
This figure was strongly criticised by Jean-Luc Mélenchon, who was present at the demonstration. The rebel accused Occurrence on Twitter of being a “manipulative Macronist agency”.
A police source estimated the attendance at 12 000. These estimates are far from those of the January 19 mobilisation. Between one and two million people had demonstrated throughout France, depending on the estimates of the police or those of the CGT, during this first big day of mobilisation against Macron’s pension reform.
However, the objective of the march on January 21 was to obtain a mobilisation at least equal to that of the “march against the high cost of living” organised by the rebels last October, which had attracted 140 000 participants according to the organisers, and 30 000 according to the police. The draft law on pensions includes the extension of the legal retirement age from 62 to 64 years, and is to be presented on January 23 in the Council of Ministers.
Trade union march a huge success
The eight main trade unions have meanwhile agreed on a new day of strikes and demonstrations against pension reform on January 31.
The representatives of the unions met in the late afternoon of January 19 at the headquarters of Solidaires, after a day of strikes and demonstrations that brought together 1,12 million according to the Ministry of the Interior and more than two million according to the secretary general of the CGT.
This is a level of mobilization higher than that of December 5, 2019. At the start of the protest against the previous draft pension reform, the police had counted 806 000 demonstrators in France, the CGT 1.5 million.
President Macron, PM slipping in the polls
According to an Ifop poll the president of the Republic and his prime minister have seen their popularity ratings drop by 2 and 4 points respectively as the government tries to defend its pension reform.
The popularity ratings of Emmanuel Macron and Elisabeth Borne fell by 2 and 4 points respectively in January, against the backdrop of pension reform, according to the poll for the Journal du dimanche (JDD) published on 22 January, with only 34 percent of the respondents saying they were satisfied with the action of the head of state.
According to this monthly barometer, this is a decline of seven points in total since his re-election last April. It is also the lowest level for Emmanuel Macron since February 2020, on the eve of the Covid-19 crisis, and again in a tense context of pension reform.
Elisabeth Borne’s rating has fell to 32 percent of favorable opinions, its worst result since her accession to Matignon. The Prime Minister presented the government’s pension reform project on January 10, which she must have adopted on 23 January in the Council of Ministers before its arrival in Parliament at the end of the month.
The text includes a postponement of the legal retirement age from 62 to 64 years. This reform project has already been strongly contested, both by the opposition and by the unions, which organised a hugely successful day of action on January 19.
The survey was conducted online and by telephone, from 12 to 19 January, among a sample of 1 963 people representative of the French population aged 18 and over, according to the quota method, with a margin of error of between 1 and 2,3 points.
India: Muslim school teacher rapes 26 minor girls
Kannur police arrested a serial rapist Arabic teacher who allegedly sexually assaulted 26 female students. The accused is Mecheri Faisal (52), an Upper Primary school teacher in Taliparamba taluk of the Kannur district and a native of Kondotty in the Malappuram district. He targeted 7th-class minor students.
Initially, five female students were the first to disclose the harassment. In total, the police received about 26 complaints from students against the teacher.
Since the victims were between ten and eleven years old, they did not understand the gravity of harassment. They did discuss Faisal’s assault between themselves. This was when other teachers understood what was happening. The accused was staying at the same school, and this assisted Faisal in indulging in pedophilia.
The students revealed information about the harassment during the counseling conducted by another teacher at the school. Later, Child Line officials recorded the statement of the students and handed it over to the police. Taliparamba police, led by Circle inspector A V Dinesh then registered five Protection of Children from Sexual Offences (POCSO) cases against the accused.
Currently, the police have arrested the teacher and taken him into custody. Police registered another 21 POCSO cases against Faisal based on statements from girls students of the Kerala school during their regular counseling sessions. The police said more cases would be registered after hearing other students’ complaints.
Reports state that the harassment started after the Covid period when the school resumed. Police said they would look into any instances in which the school administration failed to notify police promptly. As more and more incidents surfaced, parents of the students became concerned.
Incidentally, similar complaints were raised from a school in Valapattanam in the Kannur district where Faisal had worked earlier. It is unknown why he continued to teach or whether POCSO cases were registered against him. The Arabic teacher was transferred and ended up at the current school around four years ago.
The local Magistrate recorded the victim’s statements, and Faisal was remanded.
Another madrasa teacher was arrested for sexually assaulting a student for a month. 63-year-old Muhammad, a native of Arookutty, was arrested. The alleged incident occurred in a madrasa at Chandiroor in the Alappuzha district. Aroor police registered a complaint and arrested the accused.
The accused tortured the student in the madrassa for about a month. It is suspected that he had similarly abused other children. Earlier, Muhammad was expelled from another madrassa for sexually assaulting minors. Back then, madrassa authorities hushed up the incident and did not file a police complaint.
The earlier incident came to light after locals demanded action against the authorities who tried to cover up the incident despite allegations of harassment. An investigation into the incident is in progress. The accused was charged under POCSO, produced in court, and remanded to judicial custody.
In both cases, the accused are teachers and have a history of pedophilia, but the state failed to punish them. School authorities allegedly helped them. This attitude is prompting such Islamists to indulge in similar crimes against children.
Several such crimes are being reported every week in Kerala. Until every molestation is promptly reported and adequate retribution is elicited, such crimes will continue.
