Court Denies Bail to Woman Accused of Trafficking Children

Tbilisi City Court has denied Yulia Suslyak, a Ukrainian woman accused of trafficking children, bail.

Yulia Suslyak was arrested in Kutaisi in April with 10 children under her care four of whom were born in the same year, sparking suspicion of human trafficking.

Tests showed that Suslyak was the biological mother of four of the children, whilst her husband was the father of all 10 children.

Georgian and Ukrainian authorities have said that they need to study obscurities in the case. It is unknown why the family was traveling and what happened to an eleventh child, who is thought to have died in Russia.

Suslyak’s lawyer has maintained that she is innocent and “there is no evidence confirming her fault.” They claim that for of the children were born via a surrogate.

2 get life term for trafficking 2 newborn babies

A Dhaka tribunal today sentenced two people including a woman to life term imprisonment in a case filed for trafficking two newborn babies in Dhaka in 2006.

The convicts are Jharna Begum of Sirajganj and Manik of Naryanganj. The court also fined the duo Tk 50,000 each.

Judge Jayasri Samaddar of the Third Special Tribunal for Prevention of Women & Children Repression handed down the verdict after examining nine prosecution witnesses and other documents.

According to the prosecution, a team of Khilgaon Police Station arrested Jharna along with a baby (eight or 10-day-old) from Dhaka’s Khilgaon area on January 6, 2006.

Getting information given by Jharna during interrogation, police also recovered a baby boy from another accused Manik.

Argentina: Abuelas de Plaza de Mayo anuncian el hallazgo del nieto 130

Argentina: Grandmothers of Plaza de Mayo announce the discovery of the grandson 130


The human rights organization is responsible for restoring the identity of those babies stolen and handed over to other families during the last military dictatorship.

Grandmothers of Plaza de Mayo, a historic Argentine human rights group that restores the original identities of babies stolen by the last military dictatorship (1976-1983), reported Monday June 10 that found the grandchild number 130. "We happily announce a new restitution of identity," says the statement issued by the organization of white handkerchiefs, a symbol that represents the struggle of women who are still looking for their relatives detained during the times of State terrorism. In effect, they are the children of persons abducted during the de facto government who were born in conditions of detention, and then handed over by the military to other adoptive families. Likewise, human rights organizations estimate that in this historical period, 30,000 individuals disappeared for political reasons.


For now, the name of this person has not yet been released, but it is known that "he lives outside the Federal Capital", that is, the City of Buenos Aires. Also, we expect to know new details about this case next Thursday at 13 (local time) at the headquarters of Grandmothers, where a press conference with the presence of the recovered grandchild will be offered. "We appreciate the displays of affection and happiness for this task that has become collective," they added. Finally, they asked for "patience and prudence until Thursday", when they will be "able to provide all the information".

La organización de derechos humanos se encarga de restituir la identidad de aquellos bebés robados y entregados a otras familias durante la última dictadura militar.


Abuelas de Plaza de Mayo, una histórica agrupación argentina de derechos humanos que restituye las identidades originales de los bebés robados por la última dictadura militar (1976-1983), informó este lunes 10 de junio que halló al nieto número 130. 

"Con felicidad anunciamos una nueva restitución de identidad", dice el comunicado emitido por esa organización de pañuelos blancos, símbolo que representa la lucha de mujeres que todavía buscan a sus familiares detenidos durante los tiempos del terrorismo de Estado.

En efecto, se trata de hijos de personas secuestradas durante el Gobierno de facto que nacieron en condiciones de detención, y luego fueron entregados por militares a otras familias adoptivas. Asimismo, los organismos de derechos humanos estiman que en ese período histórico desaparecieron 30.000 individuos por razones políticas.

Por lo pronto, todavía no se dio a conocer el nombre de esta persona, pero se sabe que "vive fuera de Capital Federal", es decir, la Ciudad de Buenos Aires. Asimismo, se esperan conocer nuevos detalles sobre este caso el próximo jueves a las 13 (hora local) en la sede de Abuelas, donde se brindará una conferencia de prensa con la presencia del nieto recuperado. 

"Agradecemos las muestras de afecto y felicidad por esta tarea que se ha vuelto colectiva", añadieron. Por último, pidieron "paciencia y prudencia hasta el jueves", cuando estarán "en condiciones de brindar toda la información".

SEARCHING FOR STRANGERS

BANGLADESH DHAKA 11OCT00 - Lisa studies adoption papers presented to her by Mr Moslem Ali Khan, a wealthy businessman who personally handled Lisa's adoption case in 1975. Although Mr Moslem Ali Khan worked very closely with the Salvation Army's child adoption programme for several years (and enjoyed his status as power of attorney), he enjoys a dubious reputation. In the past, he had to defend himself against accusations of child trafficking and kidnapping which remain unresolved to this day...jre/Photo by Jiri Rezac..© Jiri Rezac 2000..Tel/Fax: +44 (0) 20 8968 9635.Mobile: +44 (0) 7801 337 683..Email: jiri@jirirezac.com.Web: www.jirirezac.com..All pictures © Jiri Rezac 2000.

‘Ik kan mij heel goed voorstellen dat mensen die in onzekerheid verkeren over hun identiteit op zoek zijn naar antwoorden. De omstandigheden van hun adoptie destijds kunnen een stukje van de puzzel zijn. Daarom laat ik onderzoeken of er zich mogelijk misstanden hebben voorgedaan bij sommige adopties waar de Nederlandse overheid een rol bij heeft gespeeld. Ik doe een beroep op de meest ervaren en onafhankelijke onderzoekers die ons land kent zodat duidelijk wordt wat er precies is gebeurd.’

Onderzoek naar rol Nederlandse ambtenaren bij illegale adopties

Een onafhankelijke commissie gaat onderzoek doen naar misstanden bij adopties van buitenlandse kinderen door Nederlanders, en de mogelijke betrokkenheid van de overheid daarbij. Dat heeft het ministerie van Justitie en Veiligheid zojuist bekendgemaakt.

Politieke redactie 06-12-18, 14:12 Laatste update: 14:25

Nederlandse ambtenaren waren in het verleden mogelijk betrokken bij illegale adopties uit Brazilië, aldus het ministerie. Daarnaast is mogelijk geprobeerd om deze betrokkenheid ‘buiten beschouwing te laten bij een strafrechtelijk onderzoek’, schrijft minister Sander Dekker (Rechtsbescherming). Hij wil weten of dit vaker voorkwam, en in hoeverre de overheid een actieve rol speelde bij illegale adopties.

De informatie over de mogelijke betrokkenheid kwam aan het licht door een informatieverzoek op basis van de Wet openbaarheid van bestuur (Wob). ‘De belangrijkste onderzoeksvraag is wat de feitelijke gang van zaken is geweest en wat de rol van de Nederlandse overheid was’, aldus Dekker.

'Overheid heeft niet veel krediet meer'

Als voorzitter van de Onderzoeksraad voor Veiligheid opereerde Tjibbe Joustra decennialang in het hart van politiek Den Haag. In die tijd zag hij het regeringscentrum veranderen, maar niet altijd ten goede. Volgende week treedt hij terug.

Een van de meest invloedrijke mannen van Den Haag werkt zonder computer. Tjibbe Joustra was lang de machtigste ambtenaar op het ministerie van Landbouw, baas van uitkeringsinstantie UWV, de eerste coördinator terrorismebestrijding en nu scheidend voorzitter van de Onderzoeksraad voor Veiligheid (OVV). Maar de technologische ontwikkeling heeft hij niet bijgebeend. Althans, die indruk wekt hij graag.

Erkenning met oog op omzeiling van adoptieregels is strijdig met openbare orde

Erkenning met oog op omzeiling van adoptieregels is strijdig met openbare orde

CB 2012-209 Geplaatst op 6 november 2012 door Marijse Neuteboom-Klink

HR 2 november 2012, LJN BX6962

Een door een gehuwde Nederlandse man buitenslands verrichte erkenning, waarmee wordt beoogd de regelgeving op het gebied van de interlandelijke adoptie te omzeilen, is kennelijk in strijd met de openbare orde, ook al staat niet vast dat de man naar Nederlands recht onbevoegd was tot erkenning.

Kerala NGOs block adoption home rules - The Economic Times

The Centre’s efforts to map and register all Child Care Institutions in the country seem to have been thwarted by 579 homes in the state of Kerala that have contested the requirement in court.

Kerala has the most number of child care homes (1,396) that allow for legal adoption, with almost 50,000 children living in them, according to the women and child development ministry.
The ministry had stepped up the mapping and registration of the country’s almost 9,000 homes after allegations of illegal adoption from homes run by the Missionaries of Charity in Jharkhand surfaced in June last year.

As per figures provided by the ministry in Parliament last week, 7,907 homes had registered so far, while 888 homes are still unregistered, a majority of them in Kerala. In a bid to make child care homes more accountable, the Juvenile Justice Act, 2015, mandates the registration of all child care institutions and has laid out strict norms for living conditions in them and inspections by child welfare committees. Ministry officials said the homes in Kerala, many of which are run by NGOs, have approached the state high court for a relaxation in the norms, which may add to their financial burden. The norms include hiring of staff and the size of living space for each child living in the home.

“The matter has become sub judice and we cannot take any action till the matter is resolved,” a ministry official said. Other states with a chunk of the unregistered CCIs are Karnataka (115), Andhra Pradesh (78) and J& K (77).

Foreign couples adopt 18 unwanted children in 2019

The number of children in the orphanage and foster homes is growing rapidly, making them feel unwanted and heartbroken. The cases in Hyderabad are only increasing and one such child was Sree, who was abandoned at Niloufer Hospital nearly three years ago. She's  HIV positive and hearing this, a couple from Nashville, Tenessee, came to adopt her.

Not only this case, many cases in the city made Child authorities of Hyderabad come to the conclusion that foreign couples are stepping forward to adopt unwanted children, especially who are ailing or with special needs.

It is reported that a total of 18 children are adopted since early this year by foreign nationals and all those children either had impairment issues or HIV positive. Talking about Sree, who was adopted by a couple from Nashville, it gives immense happiness to see her with new parents who are also medically treating her.

And, all these abandoned children in India are going to mostly US, Italy and Finland. The couple from these countries are coming forward in joy. Another case, Harsha, was abandoned by his family when he was six years old as he was HIV positive. Today, a Washington couple has adopted him and he flew happily to settle in the US.

The Child adoption authorities tell that no family was willing to adopt Harsha but a foreign couple did. Recently, a malnourished child, weighing 1.8kgs has been adopted by Finland couple from Gandhi Hospital. They are also reportedly taking care of her walking disability.
