Anti-maskers clash with police in Victoria<\/em><\/p>\n

In just one day last week, Victoria Police fined<\/a> 170 people for breaking the state\u2019s lockdown rules. Among them were 18 people who weren\u2019t wearing masks, some of whom refused to accept masks offered by officers. The \u2018sovereign citizens\u2019 movement has been growing<\/a> in Australia since the start of the pandemic, and more people have felt emboldened to disregard authorities\u2019 orders. In response, Premier Daniel Andrews has given police extraordinary powers<\/a> to enforce tougher regulations as coronavirus cases and deaths rise in Victoria.<\/p>\n

Report says US police are guilty of human rights abuses<\/em><\/p>\n

Amnesty International has accused<\/a> US law enforcement authorities of committing mass human rights violations during the Black Lives Matter protests that followed George Floyd\u2019s death. The Amnesty report<\/a> documents 125 instances of excessive use of force by police and security personnel across 40 states and in Washington DC. The report recommends that authorities at all levels address \u2018systemic racism and systemic use of force\u2019 and change their approach to policing protests to comply with international human rights law<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Australia won\u2019t repatriate the partners and children of IS fighters<\/em><\/p>\n

Foreign Minister Marise Payne has said that Australia is not in a position<\/a> to bring back the wives and children of Australians who fought with the Islamic State terror group. At the AUSMIN<\/a> talks with US officials last week, the minister said that, given the pressure Australia was under due to the Covid-19 pandemic, it would not be able to dedicate the necessary resources to \u2018re-integrate, to monitor, to secure, and to deradicalise people who are brought home\u2019. This stands in contrast to calls from the US<\/a> for coalition members to bring foreign fighters home to be prosecuted or rehabilitated and from organisations such as the International Crisis Group to repatriate<\/a> women and children on moral grounds.<\/p>\n

German special forces unit disbanded over extremist activity<\/em><\/p>\n

Germany\u2019s defence ministry has disbanded the 2nd Company of its Special Forces Command after an investigation revealed far-right views and activity within the group. Germany\u2019s Military Counterintelligence Service is investigating<\/a> around 600 cases of suspected far-right extremism, 20 of which involve members of Germany\u2019s special forces. Experts believe the case indicates<\/a> \u2018how deeply rooted right-wing extremism could be within the German army\u2019.<\/p>\n

US Border Patrol raids humanitarian aid camp <\/em><\/p>\n

US Border Patrol agents have conducted a raid<\/a> on a humanitarian aid camp run by faith-based organisation No More Deaths in southern Arizona. This is the second such raid<\/a> in two years, signalling the agency will continue its hardline approach to humanitarian aid workers assisting undocumented immigrants and refugees. No More Deaths has claimed<\/a> that the raid was retaliation for its publication of agency emails about a 2017 raid on the same camp.<\/p>\n

North Korean defector returns<\/em><\/p>\n

A defector has returned to North Korea from South Korea, swimming<\/a> from Incheon through a drain under barbed-wire fences. The defector fled South Korea, where he had been living since 2017, after being accused<\/a> of sexual assault. North Korea blamed<\/a> the man for introducing coronavirus into the country, having previously claimed<\/a> it had no cases. At least 11 North Korean defectors<\/a> have returned in the past five years.<\/p>\n

UN convention on worst forms of child labour ratified<\/em><\/p>\n

All 187 member states of the UN International Labour Organization have ratified<\/a> Convention No.\u00a0182 on the worst forms of child labour. ILO Director-General Guy Ryder said<\/a> universal ratification of the convention ensures that \u2018all children now have legal protection against the worst forms of child labour\u2019. The convention<\/a> prohibits the use of children under the age of 18 in armed conflict, prostitution, pornography, illicit activities and hazardous work.<\/p>\n

Queensland borders shut again<\/em><\/p>\n

The Queensland government announced<\/a> that it will reclose its borders with New South Wales and the Australian Capital Territory after the state reported a confirmed Covid-19 case. Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk said the government could not risk a new outbreak of the virus and emphasised the need for decisive action. The state has increased<\/a> the maximum fine for providing false or misleading information on border declarations to $13,345.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
