describes crimes - President Announces Initiatives to Combat Human Trafficking Tampa Marriott Waterside Hotel - Tampa, Florida 7/16/04 "Worldwide, at least 600,000 to 800,000 human beings are trafficked across international boarders each year. Of those, it is believed that more than 80 percent are women and girls, and that 70 percent of them were forced into sexual servitude. The United Nations believes that the trafficking of human beings is now the third largest source of money for organized crime, after arms and drugs....It is estimated that between 14,500 and 17,500 victims of trafficking cross our borders every year. U.S. law enforcement has documented cases of Latvian girls trafficked into sexual slavery in Chicago, or Ukrainian girls trafficked in Los Angeles, and Maryland, or Thai, Korean, Malaysian and Vietnamese girls trafficked in Georgia, or and Mexican girls trafficked in California, New Jersey and here in Florida. Many of the victims are teenagers, some as young as 12 years old. Many victims are beaten. Some are killed." http://www.whitehouse.gov/news/releases/2004/07/20040716-11.html

Arrest In Seminary Sex Scandal Vienna, Austria, 7/19/04 "The affair has rekindled anger and disgust among Austrian Catholics still scandalized by pedophilia allegations that surfaced in 1995 against the late Cardinal Hermann Groer, prompting the Vatican to oust him. (AP) Prosecutors on Monday charged a 27-year-old Polish candidate for the priesthood with possession and distribution of child pornography, invoking a tough new federal law in a widening investigation into a vast cache of lurid images found at a seminary. The student, whose name was not released, had downloaded "numerous" photographs from a Web site in his native Poland, state prosecutor Walter Nemec said in a statement. If tried and convicted, he faces up to two years in prison. Authorities say some 40,000 photos and numerous videos, including child pornography, sadomasochistic sexual acts and pictures of trainee priests kissing and fondling each other and their older instructors, were found at the seminary in St. Poelten, 50 miles west of Vienna." http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2004/07/19/world/main630516.shtml
describes crimes - Torturing Children By William Rivers Pitt 7/20/04 ���"�The biggest story of the Iraq war is about the torture of Iraqi children. A German TV magazine called 'Report Mainz' recently aired accusations from the International Red Cross, to the effect that over 100 children are imprisoned in U.S.- controlled detention centers, including Abu Ghraib. "Between January and May of this year, we've registered 107 children, during 19 visits in 6 different detention locations," said Red Cross representative Florian Westphal in the report. The report also outlined eyewitness testimony of the abuse of these children. Staff Sergeant Samuel Provance, who was stationed at Abu Ghraib, said that interrogating officers had gotten their hands on a 15 or 16 year old girl. Military police only stopped the interrogation when the girl was half undressed. A separate incident described a 16 year old being soaked with water, driven through the cold, smeared with mud, and then presented before his weeping father, who was also a prisoner." http://www.truthout.org/docs_04/072004A.shtml www.ctrl.org DECLARATION & DISCLAIMER ========== CTRL is a discussion & informational exchange list.
