Woman on the street without her hijab
Take a good look on the almost unbelievable courage and dignity of the brave Muslim woman. She is kneeling, and facing death with dignity, with her head held high. The way this brave woman behaved, her calmness, clearly shows that she was fully aware what is happening to her. She was a hero. This video was, as per international agreements, blocked from my page by You Tube. For this reason, I placed it back, but on an independent server. This is absolutely outrages to block, to censor, videos of this kind. Videos such as this one must never be censored! This kind of shocking brutality is important to publicize, here to specifically honor memory of this brave and dignified woman. Her bravery and courage is a victory over brutality. To publicize such a conduct is not only desirous, but necessity and an obligation, too! The identity of this woman should be ascertained and she should be posthumously decorated for her bravery. I ask for wide publicity of this particular video.

He casts a long shadow over globe. Russian leader Vladimir Putin has outlasted three American presidents and is on track to stay in power until 2024. His incursions in Georgia, the Crimea and Ukraine have rattled the West, while his crackdowns inside Russia have riled his democratic opponents.
But a joint investigation by the fifth estate and PBS’ Frontline reveals an even darker side to one of the most powerful leaders in the world: Allegations of criminal activity dating as far back as his early days as a top official in St. Petersburg; ties to organized crime and money-laundering activities; and a secret personal fortune said to be in the billions.
