| Sri Lanka's Tamil refugees released | |
| After the end of Sri Lanka's bloody civil war, the government and the Tamil Tigers it was fighting have come under fire for human rights abuses. A report by the US state department has accused the Tigers and the government of atrocities. Meanwhile, the Sri Lankan government is stepping up up the pace of its release of thousands of ethnic Tamil refugees. They have been living in squalid conditions in camps in the country's north since the end of the war in May. Azhar Sukri has the latest. | |

| Rape used as a weapon in DR Congo war | |
| Rape as a weapon of war has become an every day practice in the Democratic Republic of Congo. More than 5,000 women have been attacked, terrorised and mutilated in South Kivu province this year alone, according to the United Nations. About 90 per cent of the rapes are allegedly committed by armed groups or regular forces. Mohammed Adow reports from Goma, where rape victims are admitted to the hospital each and every day. The number of patients is so high that patients have to wait for months for reconstructive surgery to heal injuries inflicted through torture by their attackers. | |

| Police attack anti-war protest in Rochester, NY | |
| October 7, 2009. Squashing dissent and killing the First Amendment in Rochester, NY. Did that cop just say he arrested a kid for swearing?! I guess you can't have a peaceful anti-war protest anymore. These cops aggressively broke up a group of students who were expressing their opposition to endless war. "Move along kiddies"??? How disrespectful and demeaning these thugs are. The war against the American people is in full swing. More bloody faces to come. | |
