Pet python strangles owner
Email Print Normal font Large font February 27, 2007 - 4:09PM

A pet python strangled its 69-year-old owner in southern Vietnam, despite his daughter-in-law's desperate efforts to save him, police said today.

Nguyen Viet Ho was feeding the 20kg snake when it suddenly attacked him yesterday, said Nguyen Hoang Minh Dung, a police officer in Kien Giang province.

His daughter-in-law heard him struggling and discovered Ho with the python wrapped around his neck. She tried to pull it off, but the creature was too strong.

Ho had raised and cared for the python, which are common in southern Vietnam, at his home in the town of Ha Tien, for 10 years.

In Vietnam, some snakes and other wild animals are considered delicacies. It is also widely believed that they can help to cure health problems.

BLOGGER NAILED, BAIL FAILED & JAILED

Blogger jailed for insulting Islam
February 23, 2007 - 12:50AM

* Now he does his blogging in the showers

An Alexandria court convicted an Egyptian blogger yesterday for insulting both Islam and Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak and sentenced him to four years in jail over his writings on the internet.

Abdel Karim Suleiman, a former law student in his early 20s, was the first blogger to stand trial in Egypt for his internet writings. He has been in custody since November over eight articles he wrote on his blog since 2004.

Rights groups and opposition bloggers have watched Suleiman's case closely, and worried the conviction could set a legal precedent limiting internet freedom in Egypt, the Arab world's most populous country.

"It's a dangerous precedent because it will impact the only free space available now, which is the internet. The charges were undefined and vague," said a fellow blogger who attended the trial and runs the sandmonkey blog.

"Tell me. What does insulting the president mean? What is the difference between criticising religion and being in contempt of religion?" he added, asking to remain anonymous.

The internet has emerged as a major forum for critics of the Egyptian government to express their views in a country where the large daily newspapers and main television stations are state-run.

Suleiman, a Muslim and a liberal, has not denied writing the articles but said they merely represented his own views.

One of his articles said that al-Azhar in Cairo, one of the most prominent seats of Sunni Muslim learning, was promoting extreme ideas. Another article, headlined "The Naked Truth of Islam as I Saw it", accused Muslims of savagery during clashes between Muslims and Christians in Alexandria in 2005.

Suleiman has also denounced Mubarak, likening him to the dictatorial pharaohs who ruled ancient Egypt.
