jail served as an
excellent weight-loss

KHARTOUM, Sudan
A Sudanese female journalist
facing 40 lashes for wearing
trousers in public in violation
of the country's strict Islamic
laws told a packed Khartoum
courtroom Wednesday she is
resigning from a U.N. job that
grants her immunity so she
can challenge the law on
women's public dress code.
Lubna Hussein was among 13
women arrested July 3 in a
raid by members of the public
order police force on a popular
Khartoum cafe for wearing
trousers, considered indecent
by the strict interpretation of
Islamic law adopted by
Sudan's Islamic regime. All but
three of the women were
flogged at a police station two

County Supervisor Bill Horn
Bill Horn's Bogus Civil Rights
Story

..."During the civil rights
movement I worked for Ralph
Abernathy and went to jail
over the rights of the
minority ... to be heard," Horn
told the audience. "Now I don't
take offense here 'cause you
can speak whatever you want
about us, but I just want you to
know my background and the
fact that I consider every citizen,
no matter what the color might
be, an equal right here."
His claim got traction. The
Union-Tribune repeated his
account in a story about the
redistricting meeting, quoting
Horn as saying he had been
arrested during a civil rights
protest in the early 1960s...
"From 1962 through 1964, Horn
was a student organizer and civil
rights activist for C.O.R.E. (the
Congress of Racial Equality)
and was arrested during a
protest march in 1963," his
campaign website for county
supervisor said in 2002,
according to internet archives.
So we asked Horn if he had a
written record of his arrest.
No, he said in an interview.
San Diego police never
handcuffed him,
fingerprinted him or booked
him into a jail.
While a student at San Diego
State University in the early
1960s, Horn joined the San
Diego chapter of C.O.R.E. to
protest for civil rights. Horn said
he joined fellow members of
C.O.R.E. for a downtown protest
outside the Bank of America,
which employed few
African-American people at the
time. Similar protests against the
company erupted across the
country in 1964.
Horn said another protester
threw a brick through the bank's
window, so San Diego police
detained each protester for
questioning and took them to a
police station. "We went
voluntarily," he said. "We
were never jailed. We were
just taken in."
The frustrating part, he said,
was that police made the
protesters walk a long way
back to their cars
afterwards...
John Culea, a spokesman for
Horn, said the supervisor knew
of only two men who could
corroborate the story. They
were Hal Brown, chairman of the
local C.O.R.E. chapter at the
time, and Rosey Grier, the
former football star who went on
to become an aide and
bodyguard to Robert F.
Kennedy. Culea wrote:
[Horn] knows that Brown and
former NFL star Rosey Grier
came to his office many years
ago to reminisce about the
incident. The Supervisor has a
football in his office with the
faded signature of Grier.
Unfortunately, both of those men
have passed away, and short of
a séance, there's no way to
confirm with them the events of
a half century ago.
That was news to them.
"I'll be darned," Brown said.
"Something's going on because I
certainly haven't passed away
yet."
Both men are alive and well.
Brown, 77, lives in Del Cerro
and Grier, 78, lives in Los
Angeles.

Clooney arrested at anti-Sudan
protest in Washington
By Kevin Fogarty
Mar 16, 2012
(Reuters)
Hollywood movie star George
Clooney was arrested at
Sudan's embassy in
Washington on Friday during a
protest against an escalating
emergency as the country
blocks humanitarian aid from
reaching a volatile border
region where hundreds of
thousands of people are short
of food.
Clooney, his father Nick and
other anti-Sudan activists
ignored three police warnings to
leave the embassy grounds and
were led away to a Secret
Service van in handcuffs, a
Reuters journalist covering the
demonstration said.
"We need humanitarian aid to
be allowed into the Sudan
before it becomes the worst
humanitarian crisis in the world,"
Clooney told reporters just
before his arrest.
"The second thing we are here
to ask is for the government in
Khartoum to stop randomly
killing its own innocent men,
women and children. Stop
raping them and stop starving
them. That's all we ask."...
Activists have drawn parallels
between the current crisis and
the violence almost a decade
ago in the western region of
Darfur, where Khartoum
sparked international
condemnation by violently
suppressing a rebellion in a
conflict that the United Nations
estimates killed some 300,000
people.
U.S. CONCERN
The United States has voiced
serious concerns about the
deteriorating conditions in the
border region, where Sudanese
troops are fighting rebels
aligned with its
newly-independent neighbor
South Sudan.
Clooney, who recently visited
the area, told a Senate hearing
this week that Sudan's forces
were launching repeated
attacks on unarmed civilians
and preventing aid from
reaching a region where U.S.
officials say as many as
250,000 people face severe
food shortages.
Clooney, who has long been a
prominent celebrity activist
critical of the Khartoum
government, had been widely
expected to provoke police into
arresting him.
Others arrested on Friday
included several U.S.
congressmen, the son of slain
U.S. civil rights hero Martin
Luther King, Jr, and John
Prendergast, the co-founder of
the Enough Project and a
veteran human rights
campaigner, protest organizers
said.
Tom Andrews, president of
United to End Genocide,
another group involved in the
protest, said it was time for the
United States government to
turn up the heat on Khartoum to
stop the violence and allow
humanitarian access...
