Life sentence for slipper thrower
An Indian judge has sentenced a robber to life imprisonment for hurling a slipper at him.
Judge C D Gongale managed to duck in time when Rajkumar Sharma threw his slipper at him, reports The Times of India. Judge said: "The accused's conduct is unpardonable."
The 19-year-old appeared before the judge in Mumbai after he was accused of robbing an auto rickshaw driver of £5.20.
Using footwear as missiles is not new to courts in Mumbai and there have been several incidents where disgruntled convicts have flung their slippers at judges, the accused front without their shoes in some courts.
Yahoo the Dobber
Beijing -- Yahoo! provided Chinese authorities with information about one of its users that was used to jail the man for eight years, an activist group said Thursday. It was the second time Yahoo! was accused of helping authorities jail a Chinese user.
Yahoo!'s Hong Kong unit provided information about Li Zhi, a man from southwestern China who was sentenced to prison in 2003 on subversion charges after posting comments online criticizing official corruption, Paris-based Reporters Without Borders said.
