After anger from victims’ families, UK says criminals will be forced to attend sentencing

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 18:15:04 GMT

LONDON (AP) — The British government said Wednesday it will change the law to force serious criminals to attend their sentencing hearings, after an outcry from the families of murder victims.The move follows widespread outrage at the refusal of nurse Lucy Letby to come to court this month to be sentenced for the murder of seven infants and the attempted murder of six others.That meant the killer did not have to hear anguished victims’ statements from the babies’ families, or listen as judge James Gross imposed a sentence of life without parole, saying Letby had acted with “deep malevolence bordering on sadism.”Politicians and victim advocates were already calling for changes in the law to force criminals to appear for sentencing after several high-profile convicts chose not to face their victims in recent months.Currently, offenders can be found in contempt of court if they refuse to attend, but they can’t be forced to come. The government said it will change the law to make clear t...

DAKAR, Senegal (AP) — Nearly 170 migrants returned to Senegal on Wednesday after spending almost a week in limbo on a Spanish rescue boat. Spain’s interior ministry said 168 migrants were safely transported to Saint-Louis, a major coastal city in the north of Senegal. Since Thursday, the migrants had been stuck aboard a Spanish Civil Guard vessel near the northwest African nation of Mauritania after authorities there refused to let them disembark, according to leading Spanish newspaper El Pais. Ibrahima Cissé, spokesperson for the ministry of Senegalese abroad, confirmed the migrants had arrived in Saint Louis but did not provide further details. The Civil Guard is one of two national police forces in Spain. For years, it has worked with local authorities in Mauritania and Senegal to try to prevent migrants from attempting to reach Spain’s Canary Islands, an archipelago in the Atlantic Ocean off the northwest coast of Africa.In recent months there has been a surge of migrants depart...

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 18:15:04 GMT

TOKYO (AP) — Japan’s Prime Minister Fumio Kishida and three Cabinet ministers ate Fukushima fish sashimi at a lunch meeting Wednesday, in an apparent effort to show that fish is safe following the release of treated radioactive wastewater from the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant that began last week. Kishida and the three ministers had sashimi of flounder, octopus and sea bass, caught off the Fukushima coast after the water release, along with vegetables, fruits and a bowl of rice that were harvested in the prefecture, Economy and Industry Minister Yasutoshi Nishimura, who was at the meeting, told reporters.

China immediately banned all imports of Japanese seafood in response. In South Korea, thousands of people joined rallies over the weekend to condemn the discharge.All seawater and...
