Aussies Make Emotional Plea To Return Home

Exasperated Australians in heart-wrenching binds have vented emotional pleas for the government to urgently lift the cap on overseas arrivals. A Senate committee scrutinising the federal government's coronavirus response has heard from citizens suffering intense hardship due to travel bans. Canberra woman Gina De Ruyter, 24, moved to the Philippines late last year to set up an animal shelter. When the pandemic hit, she began working out how to ensure the 40 animals were cared for when she returned to Australia. She then broke her leg in two places, but the initial surgery hasn't healed. "It's been badly infected for two months, just weeping pus all the time," Ms De Ruyter told the committee on Thursday. "My leg has swollen up again with pus, but the doctor can't do anything anymore because all the hospitals are filling up with coronavirus patients." The young Canberran is booked on a Friday flight but like so many Australians, [https://www.kynghidongduong.vn/tours/tour-trung-quoc-nam-ninh-truong-gia-gioi-phuong-hoang-co-tran-6-ngay.html kynghidongduong.vn] fears ticket cancellations that have [http://realitysandwich.com/?s=prevented%20homecomings prevented homecomings]. Peta Stoyanovich's husband Luke and mother-in-law Stanika are stranded in Serbia. Mr Stoyanovich received an exemption to travel after his father died in July, with the intention of bringing his 79-year-old mother home. But three attempts to return to Melbourne have been thwarted and their accommodation finishes on September 30. They've been split up on separate flights but there's no confidence the mother and son will board the plane. Peta Stoyanovich is worried her grieving mother-in-law will face airports, transit, hotel quarantine and taxis alone. "It's complete madness. It's absolute madness," she said through tears. Mrs Stoyanovich said she was shattered by the loss of confidence in Australia looking after its citizens abroad who had been left at the mercy of airlines. "Do your bloody job, for God's sake." She said the support available to Australians overseas was disgusting, [https://www.kynghidongduong.vn/tours/tour-trung-quoc-nam-ninh-truong-gia-gioi-phuong-hoang-co-tran-6-ngay.html tour trương gia giới] while the planned weekly rise in the cap on overseas arrivals to 6000 was insulting. "The cap has abandoned my family and it's abandoned our citizens," Mrs Stoyanovich said. "They are not stranded - they are abandoned by the government." On her emotional state, she said: "An overwhelming sense of hopelessness just engulfs me." Deanne Vowels, husband Paul and their five children travelled to the UK for a family reunion two days before the travel ban was imposed in March. The Newcastle family have run out of money and are worried about defaulting on their mortgage after having five flights home cancelled. "It just feels like a long-term boyfriend cheating on me. I've given my life to Australia and in my time of need they have dumped me," Mrs Vowels said. The family was told to upgrade to business class, which would have cost $120,000, and government officials suggested setting up a crowdfunding website. There are 26,700 Australians overseas who want to return home, with 4000 considered vulnerable. The Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade defended its actions in trying to bring Australians home, arguing the caps were due to state hotel quarantine capacity. "Over the last six months our people have done everything possible to find pathways home for Australians. Helping Australians get home is our foremost priority," DFAT secretary Frances Adamson said. Meanwhile, Victoria recorded just 12 new coronavirus cases and two deaths on Thursday, taking the national toll to 861. Queensland will allow gatherings of up to 30 people after two weeks without community transmission. NSW will further ease restrictions on weddings, community sport and school activities after three days without community spread.

Former Kosovo Separatist Commander Appears In Court

THE HAGUE, Netherlands (AP) - A former commander of separatist fighters in Kosovo´s 1998-1999 war appeared at a special court in the Netherlands on Monday to face charges that he was involved in the torture of detainees and the murder of one prisoner held at a compound in Kosovo during the conflict. Salih Mustafa was arrested Thursday and transferred to the Netherlands to stand trial. He is the first suspect to appear in court at the Kosovo Specialist Chambers. He sat in the courtroom wearing a suit and tie and a face mask, which he removed as he stood and confirmed his name and other personal details, identifying himself as an economist and adviser to the Kosovo defense ministry. He listened in silence as a court officer read out the four charges against him, and Presiding Judge Nicolas Guillou read him his rights. Mustafa didn't enter pleas to the charges during the 35-minute hearing. He has 30 days to enter pleas. The Kosovo Liberation Army was made up of ethnic Albanian rebels who fought for Kosovo´s independence from Serbia. Mustafa oversaw fighters in the Llapi area, 35 kilometers (20 miles) north of the capital, Pristina. Mustafa is charged with the war crimes of arbitrary detention, cruel treatment, the torture of at least six people and [https://www.kynghidongduong.vn/tours/tour-trung-quoc-nam-ninh-truong-gia-gioi-phuong-hoang-co-tran-6-ngay.html tour trương gia giới] the murder of one person at a detention compound in Zllash, Kosovo, in April 1999. The victims were accused by KLA fighters of collaborating with Serbs or not supporting the KLA, according to the indictment. In one incident alleged in the indictment, Mustafa interrogated a detainee "about his knowledge of the identities of thieves and spies, and beat him with a baseball bat all over his body, causing him severe mental harm and severe physical injuries." He is charged in the indictment under different modes of criminal liability, including command responsibility and as a member of a joint criminal enterprise. The court and an associated Special Prosecutor´s Office were established five years ago following a 2011 report by the Council of Europe, a human rights body, that included allegations that KLA fighters trafficked human organs taken from prisoners and killed Serbs and fellow ethnic Albanians. The court is mandated to investigate and prosecute allegations of war crimes and crimes against humanity in Kosovo, or linked to the Kosovo conflict, from 1998-2000. Two leaders of the Kosovar war veterans´ association, Hysni Gucati and Nasim Haradinaj, [https://www.kynghidongduong.vn/tours/tour-trung-quoc-nam-ninh-truong-gia-gioi-phuong-hoang-co-tran-6-ngay.html kynghidongduong.vn] were arrested last week and transferred to The Hague accused of "offences against the administration of justice, namely intimidation of witnesses, retaliation and violation of secrecy of proceedings," the court said. They are likely to make their first appearances before the court in coming days. Prosecutors in The Hague also have isssued an indictment against Kosovar President Hashim Thaci, [https://www.kynghidongduong.vn/tours/tour-trung-quoc-nam-ninh-truong-gia-gioi-phuong-hoang-co-tran-6-ngay.html tour phượng hoàng cổ trấn] former parliamentary speaker Kadri Veseli, and others for crimes that include murder, enforced disappearances, persecution and torture. A pre-trial judge has yet to confirm those indictments. Both men have denied committing any war crimes. The 1998-1999 war for Kosovo´s [http://www.examandinterviewtips.com/search?q=independence independence] from Serbia left more than 10,000 people dead - most of them ethnic Albanians from Kosovo. More than 1,600 people remain unaccounted for. The fighting ended after a 78-day NATO air campaign against Serbian troops. Kosovo, which is dominated by ethnic Albanians, declared independence from Serbia in 2008, a move recognized by many Western nations but not Serbia or its allies Russia and China.
