Woman deported to Singapore despite 27-year marriage

    source= BBC


















A women married to a British man for 27 years has been deported to Singapore. Irene Clennell was being held in a detention centre in Scotland, and told the BBC she had been sent back to her country of birth without any warning. She had been living in Durham with her husband, and has two British sons, as well as a granddaughter, in the UK. She is believed to have been abroad to care for her parents, this may have invalidated her residential status in the UK. She also told the BBC she was put in a van and taken to the airport from a detention centre in South Lanarkshire (Scotland) on Saturday. She said that she was unable to contact her lawyer and did not have a chance to get any clothes from her home. She also says that she has made repeated attempts - both in Singapore and in the Uk - to re-apply for permission to live with her husband, who is in poor health and she has become his carer.  Mrs Clennell, who had been living in Chester-le-street, was given permeant residence in the UK after her marriage.    

I chose this story as it is extremely unfair that she has been deported, especially as she was given permission to stay in the UK and also the fact that she has a family in the UK and has been living here for 27 years.

Source = BBC
















A British IS fighter died in a suicide bomb attack on Iraqi forces in mosul is a former Guantanamo Bay detainee. Originally known as Ronald Fiddler, was 50 and from Manchester, was sent to Guantanamo Bay prison 2002. It was 19th of February  where he detonated a car bomb at an Iragi army base, south west of Mosul.

It is reported that he recieved a million pounds in compensation from the government when he came back into the UK. The BBC has seen IS registration papers signed by Fiddler in April 2014 when
he crossed into Syria from Turkey. He volunteered to be an IS fighter, saying that his knowledge of Islam was basic. 

I chose this story as it is interesting how British people are joining IS and are under there influence to commit extreme violence.

A 17 year old has been accused of carrying out 30 murders and has been arrested by the police in Columbia. known only by his Nickname "Frijolito" - was held in the city of Cali in Columbia. Police have described the teenager as a "highly dangerous criminal" and said that he was caught after a four-month manhunt.

Police Chief Hugo Casas said "He is only 17 years old and has committed more than 30 homicides. he is a really dangerous person, it was good to get him and lets say the city is free of a person who could continue going these deeds outside authority." Officers have claimed that "Frijolito" means 'Little Bean' and that he started killing people at around the age of 12. They allege he was head of a gang of drug traffickers and assassins who ruthlessly terrorised the city of Cali. He is being held at a juvenile detention centre until he turns 18 when he will be moved to an adult prison.

I chose this source as it shocked me, if a middle age man had killed 30 people in Columbia then i would not ahem found this story, as it was a teenager it makes the story quite interesting and rather unbelievable.
