Campaign: Amnesty International's petition has gathered worldwide momentum
The Indian village elders who sparked international fury when they
ordered that two sisters to be raped are facing arrest for their vile
'sentence'. The sickening punishment was handed down because their brother ran off with a married woman. Now it has been reported that Indian police are looking into the 'Khap' court - which has handed down illegal sentences before. More than 100,000 Brits have now signed a petition to save the sisters. Meenakshi
Kumari, 23, and her 15-year-old sister have fled their home after an
unelected all-male village council made the order. The council also demanded the sisters were paraded naked with blackened faces to humiliate them for their brother's actions.

Amnesty International condemned the "disgusting" ruling as celebrities rallied behind the petition. Rachel Alcock, Amnesty
UK's Urgent Action Coordinator, said: "Rape is a revolting crime, not a
punishment. It’s no wonder this disgusting 'sentence' has provoked
global outrage." "These Khap courts routinely order vile sexually violent punishments against women. "India’s Supreme Court has rightly declared such orders illegal. "The government of Uttar Pradesh has an urgent duty to keep this family safe. "There
must also be a proper, independent investigation into these barbaric
and illegal orders which apparently continue to be issued by the khap
panchayat courts."

Petition: Amnesty said rape is a 'revolting crime', not a punishment
Sumit Kumar, another brother of Meenakshi, told Amnesty that
members of the Jat caste were powerful members of the village council,
saying: "The Jat decision is final." His family fears for their
lives if they return. Meenakshi has filed a petition with India's
Supreme Court asking for protection. They are also worried about the safety of the Jat woman, who is believed to be pregnant with Ravi's child. Sign the Amnesty International petition urging the Principal Secretary of Lucknow, Uttar Pradesh, to take action.

Healing with Urine Therapy Urine is not a dirty and toxic substance rejected by the body. Urine is a by-product of blood filtration, not waste filtration. Medically it is referred to as "plasma ultra-filtrate". It is a purified derivative of the blood itself, made by the kidneys--whose principal function is not excretion but regulation of all the elements and their concentrations in the blood. Urine can be compared to leftovers from a meal, and this metaphor may help us understand why our bodies excrete elements that are valuable to our health and well-being. Nutrient-filled blood passes through the liver where toxins are removed to be excreted as solid waste. Eventually, this purified "clean" blood undergoes a filtering process in the kidneys, where excess water, salts, vitamins, minerals, enzymes, antibodies, urea, uric acid and other elements not usable at that time by the body are collected in the form of a purified, sterile, watery solution that is urine...
In a stunning turn of events that demonstrates fair play and unwavering commitment to unearthing the truth, the Benin Zonal Command of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has granted bail to Miss Nancy Olibe! According to our source, what started as a malicious petition filed by her disgruntled ex-boyfriend, "Trevon Packard an alleged Black American claiming a 3,000,000.00 romance fraud, has quickly unraveled into a terrifying tale of revenge, cyberstalking, and ruthless extortion. The narrative took a dramatic shift when Nancy presented undeniable evidence to the Commission exposing how Packard systematically targeted her. While they dated, Packard secretly screen-recorded their intimate video sessions. When the relationship ended, he weaponized those recordings leaking her nudes across social media and local blogs. Despite already extorting her of 1,250,000.00 , her power generator, double-door fridge, and expensive human hair wigs through local accomplice...
