500 Boat Migrants From Middle East Lost at Sea


[From article]
The International Organization for Migration says about 500 migrants are feared dead after their boat was deliberately rammed, causing it to sink off the Malta coast last week.
Christiane Berthiaume, spokeswoman for the organisation, said witnesses claim that the boat left Damietta in Egypt earlier this month with Syrians, Palestinians, Egyptians and Sudanese on board.
It sank last Wednesday after a group of human traffickers deliberately rammed it with another boat when the passengers refused to transfer on to smaller vessels, she added.
News of the shocking incident comes as dozens died when a boat carrying at least 250 Africans to Europe capsized before it even managed to leave the Libyan coast this morning.
Ms Berthiaume said two Palestinian survivors claim there was a violent confrontation between the migrants and traffickers who wanted to move everyone on to one of their smaller vessels.
She says the traffickers subsequently 'used one boat to knock the other' - severely damaging the migrants' vessel and causing it to sink, killing hundreds.

Sex Slavery In Miami, Three Thugs Force 15-year-old Into Sex Trade


[From article]
The girl, identified only as D.J. in the affidavit, was held against her will by the gun-toting trio and plied with drugs and alcohol, police said in the report. She ran away from home and was reported missing on December 10.
She and two 15-year-old friends shacked up at a seedy motel in North Miami. They soon met a man referred to only as AP, he brought them to a nearby home.
The two other girls were dismissed for being too young, but D.J. insisted she was 18, said the report.
Mr Ward had sex with the teen at least six times and she was forced to have sex with a man at a motel for only $80, the affidavit said.
Her captors did not give her any of the money, and forced her to strip when she railed against having sex for money, the report said.
