Your account will be renamed
Hello,

The developer team at Wikimedia is making some changes to how accounts work, as part of our on-going efforts to provide new and better tools for our users like cross-wiki notifications. These changes will mean you have the same account name everywhere. This will let us give you new features that will help you edit and discuss better, and allow more flexible user permissions for tools. One of the side-effects of this is that user accounts will now have to be unique across all 900 Wikimedia wikis. See the announcement for more information.

Unfortunately, your account clashes with another account also called Metal Thunder. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Metal Thunder~enwikinews that only you will have. If you like it, you don't have to do anything. If you do not like it, you can pick out a different name.

Your account will still work as before, and you will be credited for all your edits made so far, but you will have to use the new account name when you log in.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Yours, Keegan Peterzell Community Liaison, Wikimedia Foundation 23:18, 17 March 2015 (UTC)

Corby's star witness convicted of rape

January 29, 2006

John Patrick Ford, the Australian prisoner who testified at  Schapelle Corby’s Bali drug trafficking trial, has been convicted of 11 charges relating to the rape and assault of a woman.

Ford’s trial was postponed to allow him to travel to Bali in the custody of Australian Federal Police officers to testify that he had overheard a jailhouse confession. Ford alleged he had heard another prisoner claim ownership of the marijuana found in Corby’s possession. He told the Balinese court that Corby was the victim of an Australian domestic inter-airport drug-smuggling operation. She is currently serving a 20-year prison term after being convicted in that case.

In December 2005, a County Court jury convicted Ford of 11 charges, including rape, intentionally causing injury, threatening to inflict serious injury, false imprisonment, aggravated burglary, burglary, making threats to kill and stalking, but a suppression order issued by the court prevented publication of the convictions until the pre-sentencing hearing on Friday, January 27, 2006.

Ford’s lawyer, Tom Danos, told the hearing that Corby had written to Ford thanking him for risking his own welfare by agreeing to testify. Danos urged the court to be lenient in sentencing Ford, claiming that his victim had effectively forgiven him for his crimes and that he deserved a lighter sentence for co-operating with authorities investigating the Corby case.

Ford has been attacked twice in jail since testifying at Corby’s Bali trial. Since returning from Bali in March, 2005, Ford has remained in protective custody, to prevent further attacks. Danos claimed that this would make any jail sentence particularly difficult for his client.

County Court Judge Margaret Rizkalla adjourned the pre-sentencing hearing to a date yet to be set.

World celebrates Chinese new year

January 29, 2006 Millions of people celebrated the arrival of the Chinese Year of the Dog throughout the world's time zones.

Chinese families spent New Year's Eve cleaning their houses to get rid of bad luck from the past year, before celebrating with reunion dinners.

Throughout China and the world's Chinatowns, dragon dancers danced and fireworks went off to mark the arrival of the new year.

In the Chinese lunar calendar, the Chinese Year of the Dog ends on February 17, 2007, making it 385 days long, or 13 months. The last time a Chinese year was this long was in 1944.

Firefighters find burning body parts in oil drums

January 29, 2006

New South Wales Rural Fire Service officers called to extinguish a small bushfire in the Tomerong State Forest, about 210 kilometers south of Sydney, discovered two oil drums containing burning body parts.

The firefighters called nearby Nowra police who established several crime scenes in the area. It is believed the drums contained the remains of two people who police believe lived in the area.

NSW Police Superintendent Kyle Stewart told the ABC that officers were confronted with an horrific scene. "[It was a] fairly horrific scene, the two bodies were on fire at the time, or the barrels in which they were located, were on fire when the RFS responded and certainly that doesn't add to the pleasantness of the situation," he said.

A 27-year-old man and a 36-year-old woman have presented themselves to police. Police say they are assisting detectives with their inquiries.

Bob Woodruff injured by improvised explosive device in Iraq

January 29, 2006 ABC News anchorman Bob Woodruff and his camera operator Doug Vogt have been seriously injured in an explosion. Early reports indicate that both men sustained head injuries in the blast.

Woodruff was evacuated to the Balad Airbase, 68 kilometers north of Baghdad and is currently undergoing surgery. "Bob and Doug are in serious condition and are being treated at a U.S. military hospital in Iraq," ABC said in a statement.

Reports say Woodruff was taping a report inside an Iraqi mechanized military vehicle near Taji, Iraq when the vehicle ran over and detonated an improvised explosive device. ABC also reports that exchanges of small arms fire took place shortly after the explosion. MSNBC reports that Woodruff and Vogt were wearing body armor and helmets when the explosion occurred, measures that may turn out to have saved their lives. The Associated Press is reporting that the two men were standing in the hatch of the vehicle at the time of the explosion, and that no other people were injured.

Woodruff and Vogt had been embedded with the 4th Infantry Division that was accompanying an Iraqi Army unit.

ABC also said that both Woodruff and Vogt were wearing body armor and helmets.

The U.S. military headquarters in Baghdad has confirmed the attack took place. However, no further information has been made available.

Vogt, a 46-year-old Canadian based in France, is an Emmy-award winning cameraman for ABC News with 25 years of experience.

According to the Committee to Protect Journalists, 61 journalists have been killed in the line of duty in Iraq since the U.S.-led invasion in 2003.

Woodruff became the permanent co-anchor of ABC's World News Tonight, with Elizabeth Vargas on January 3, 2006, replacing the late Peter Jennings.

Talk:Bob Woodruff injured by improvised explosive device in Iraq

Insurgents reference
Just as we do not immediately infer that the recent airplane/drone bombing of a village or group of Iraqi people was done by the US by saying "This method of attack has been a common tactic of the US military throughout the course of the post-war military action in Iraq." Neither should we infer that insurgents are responsible for this attack without either an admission by some insurgent group or some type of reported evidence, at least I think so. Neutralizer 15:11, 29 January 2006 (UTC)
 * Is copy and pasting the definition of and IED and facts from Wikipedia copyvio? Jason Safoutin 15:28, 29 January 2006 (UTC)
 * I think it's better to just wikify the term. Neutralizer 16:21, 29 January 2006 (UTC)

If it was copyvio, I didn't know. I didn't C&P the wikipedia entry on IEDs. I just happened to know the acronym and thought it might be worth mentioning that IEDs are a common insurgent practice. I also didn't consider it an NPOV problem, just some useful information. At any rate, the article doesn't lose much without the reference, and the wikiifying is sufficient for any who don't know the info. Besides, the wikipedia article probably has more info than I provided. Sorry for any issues.MattM 18:09, 29 January 2006 (UTC)

AP is reporting that the two are out of surgery and stable. That Woodruff has broken bones in addition to the reported head injuries, and that they will be evacuated to Germany over night. I have a question about the protocol? Should this article be updated with this new information or should a new article be started? 66.57.113.59 22:30, 29 January 2006 (UTC)

Your account will be renamed
Hello,

The developer team at Wikimedia is making some changes to how accounts work, as part of our on-going efforts to provide new and better tools for our users like cross-wiki notifications. These changes will mean you have the same account name everywhere. This will let us give you new features that will help you edit and discuss better, and allow more flexible user permissions for tools. One of the side-effects of this is that user accounts will now have to be unique across all 900 Wikimedia wikis. See the announcement for more information.

Unfortunately, your account clashes with another account also called Sycthos. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Sycthos~enwikinews that only you will have. If you like it, you don't have to do anything. If you do not like it, you can pick out a different name.

Your account will still work as before, and you will be credited for all your edits made so far, but you will have to use the new account name when you log in.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Rare snow storm in Portugal

January 29, 2006

Today an uncommon snow storm covered much of Portugal. Apart from mountainous regions, snow is usually a rare vision in this south European country because flat terrain and a Mediterranean climate. However, January 2006 saw a cold wave sweeping across Europe, and since early morning snow fell in seaside towns like Figueira da Foz, in central Portugal, and the storm reached record south locations such as Algarve.

Lisbon, the Portuguese capital, received snow for the first time in 52 years. Other towns with a record snowfall were Leiria, Santarém, Évora, Setúbal, Portalegre, Sesimbra, Palmela, Fátima, Pombal, Abrantes, Torres Novas and Ourém.

Highways and roads were closed in much of central and south Portugal. In Montejunto, one hundred people were evacuated from their vehicles. The storm caused electricity to be cut in Elvas and other parts of the Alentejo region. A number of car accidents and fallen trees were reported to have only resulted in minor injuries. In Lisbon, the city government demanded subway stations to remain open overnight, so that homeless people could find shelter.

At 1500 GMT, phone companies saw a record level of calls and text messages due to surprised people contacting and warning each other.

Congressional staff actions prompt Wikipedia investigation

January 30, 2006

Edits by Massachusetts congressman Marty Meehan's staff on his Wikipedia article spurred a Lowell Sun story and a subsequent Wikipedia investigation of all Internet addresses assigned to the Congress of the United States.

While edits from the Capitol are not generally news, the biographical article for Mr. Meehan was carefully edited, removing negative comments while expanding with content from the congressman's political flyer. The IP address which made these edits has an extensive editing history on Wikipedia, and has been repeatedly blocked in past months for article vandalism and violation of Wikipedia policies (Wikipedia's log of 143.231.249.141 being blocked from editing).

Wikipedia administrators, alerted to the Marty Meehan article edits, realized that many edits to politically-sensitive articles had been made from IP addresses assigned to the US Capitol building, and have begun an investigation into all edits from such addresses.

Editing from U.S. House computers
At the center of the investigation are edits by the IP address 143.231.249.141, which is the proxy through which most of the U.S. House Internet traffic passes. Jon Brandt, spokesman for the Committee on House Administration confirmed House ownership of the IP. An aide for Rep. Meehan made two edits to the article on Meehan's biography. The first was on July 18, 2005 and replaced the article with his official biography, which was biased towards Meehan. A later edit on December 27, 2005 removed text referring to Mr. Meehan's pledge to only run four terms, or 8 years. The text that was removed said "He also ran on a platform of term limits. However, after serving four terms as US Congressman, the number of terms he pledged that he and no other congressman should serve out, he has since gone back on his word and now is adamently [sic] against the idea of term limits for Congressmen."

The text was replaced with: "His fiscally responsible voting record since then has earned him praise from citizen watchdog groups."

Congressman Meehan has served seven terms as Representative of his home state of Massachusetts.

Most of the edits from Capitol Hill IPs have not been harmful edits. Many edits have been made which were neutral, correcting factual, spelling, grammar, and punctuation errors. A sampling of both positive and harmful edits to politically-related articles are included here.

The communications director for Rep. Joe Wilson took a different approach to editing Rep. Wilson's article. She contacted Wikipedia founder Jimbo Wales, who advised that she supply a biography on the Wikipedia article's discussion page, rather than edit the article directly, for other Wikipedia editors to check and to incorporate into the article itself. After she added the official bio to Wilson's discussion page, Wikipedia editors used it and several other sources to expand the article substantially.

Further investigation
Following the reports of the edits from the House IP address, a so-called checkuser (a check of confidential information to determine the accounts used by staffers coming from that IP) was performed to determine what users logged-in with an account edited from the House IP address, and the edits made by all of those users were checked as well. They all showed little bias and no vandalism.

Editing from Senate computers
Unlike the U.S. House, computers from the U.S. Senate are assigned individual IP addresses. To identify possible vandals, the edit history for all senators was checked, and a list of 25 addresses was extracted. While some had good faith edits, others showed unacceptable behaviour.

The entire 156.33.x.x netblock is for Senate use only
 * OrgName:   U.S. Senate Sergeant at Arms
 * NetRange:  156.33.0.0 - 156.33.255.255

Senator pages edited
The following is a partial list of U.S. Senator biographies on the English-language Wikipedia edited by Senate employees.

 * Senator Conrad Burns' page was edited to remove negative comments as positive comments were added.
 * Senator Norm Coleman's page was also edited to remove negative comments while positive comments were added.
 * Senator Robert Byrd's page was vandalized
 * Senator Tom Harkin's criticism section was deleted, a major section on Israel & military removed and later vandalized by a different IP
 * Senator Joe Biden's page had a major edit removing significant criticism
 * Senator Tom Coburn's page was vandalized more than once

Edits categorized by IP
While the identity of these IPs are not known, a small sample of edits from Capitol IPs shows both helpful and harmful edits.

 * 156.33.148.107 (contribution list)
 * This IP has had extensive edits at Wikipedia, including:
 * Improving William Swain Lee article from a stub to a full-fledged article.
 * Expanded Michael Davidson article.

 * 156.33.150.38  (contribution list)
 * Removing negative elements from Corrine Brown bio - ,

 * 156.33.43.214  (contribution list)
 * Vandalized George W. Bush -
 * Vandalized Robert Byrd -

A complete list of all the Senatorial IPs that contributed to political articles can be found here.

Wikimedia Foundation and Wikipedia response
The attention of Wikipedia administrators was drawn to the pattern of edits to Wikipedia articles by Congressional staffers at 18:47 on January 29. In response, Wikipedia administrators began a systematic examination of all edits to articles made from IP addresses that have been assigned for use by the U.S. Senate and House of Representatives.

Administrators found several places where edits from U.S. Senate IP addresses had been to articles on Senators.

Following online discussions using IRC, Wikipedia administrator FireFox blocked the U.S. House of Representatives' Wikipedia editing privileges for one week while the issue is discussed. The block was lifted shortly thereafter by a dissenting admin.

While the Wikimedia Foundation has not yet issued a statement regarding this, Jimmy Wales was quoted by the AP discouraging the removal of facts. "You don't delete it," Wales said. "If they wanted to put in their side of things, that would seem ethically relevant, rather than just omitting it."

The article states you investigated computers of "all 50 senators". I know what "all 100 senators" would mean, but don't know which 50 you might be referring to.209.161.166.94 06:33, 30 January 2006 (UTC)JPG
 * I've checked the Administrator's Noticeboard. Rick Block checked all senators. Uncle G 10:44, 30 January 2006 (UTC)
 * My apologies, I meant to write Senators from all 50 states Achille 11:52, 30 January 2006 (UTC)

more information at RFC
There is currently an RFC going on concerning the entire US Congress which also have results (may warrant being in the report) at w:Wikipedia talk:Requests for comment/United States Congress. Natalinasmpf 10:06, 30 January 2006 (UTC)

Another article
It's mainly sourced from the same Lowell Sun article, however. Uncle G 10:47, 30 January 2006 (UTC)

Examples moved here
I don't think the actual examples should be used in the actual article, but instead be sourced here. They should be described, however, in the article. --MrMiscellanious (talk) – 11:30, 30 January 2006 (UTC)
 * I think that saying "Major Section on Israel & military removed" in the article and requiring readers to come to the talk page to find the actual hyperlink to follow is needlessly burdensome on readers. Also note that we are already summarizing the edits in the article.  The full raw list, per the source cited, is a lot longer. Uncle G 11:36, 30 January 2006 (UTC)
 * Yeah, it looks pretty good as is. Nyarlathotep 13:36, 30 January 2006 (UTC)
 * I just it somewhat tacky (for lack of a better term) to include them in the article, especially how they look at present. --MrMiscellanious (talk) – 20:18, 30 January 2006 (UTC)

Ongoing stuff
At some stage I'll be going over all the relevant IPs with CheckUser to give the Board a list of all usernames used from these IPs for their consideration. That probably isn't actually news yet, as I need to get around to it ... - 212.85.21.254 11:38, 30 January 2006 (UTC) (w:user:David Gerard)
 * If you do manage to get the user names, let me know...I would like to write that article. I wish we knew exactly WHO was making these edits. That would be some interesting information. Jason Safoutin 11:54, 30 January 2006 (UTC)
 * A checkuser was done by Fred. User names should not be published unless agreement by the board (see privacy policy). Thanks User:anthere 10:35, 31 January 2006 (UTC)

I'm not quite sure of the policy on this, but to the degree that the website has been violated, im considering a permenant ban on the proxy, is this feasable? p.s. I have a huge list of government operated servers and proxys around here somewhere, ill post when i find -Andy

Local edits
Is there any easy way to query contributions for an IP block here on Wikinews? I'd like to make sure these folks haven't been editing the news too. I don't want to go through thousands of addresses by hand, or are there a small list of proxies in use by house.gov that can be checked? --Brian McNeil / talk 12:55, 30 January 2006 (UTC)
 * Funny you should mention that, I was thinking the same thing and even looked at the Block list to see if we blocked any of them for vandalism and we have NOT. But if worst comes to worst I will help look at that info if I am able to Brian...how do we do that? Jason Safoutin 12:58, 30 January 2006 (UTC)

 * The rather prolific Wikipedia contributor 143.231.249.141 has edited here, but the edit I found was deleted. You can see this from the talk page. The story was 31 travelers from Rwanda die in terrible horrible bus crash.  See: [deletion log].  Admins can see the last version before deletion...
 * "June 8, 2005

A bus collision with a truck in Uganda has resulted in at least 31 fatalities and has left a furture 21 injured. The bus, which was heading for Nairobi in Kenya, crashed in the Kabale district of Uganda near the Rwandan border. Of the 31 fatalities, 25 died instantly upon impact while the remaining 5 died later in hospital.

The survivors of the accident were initially taken to Kabale Hospital in Uganda, but were later flown back to hospitals in Rwanda. It remains to be seen what exactly caused the accident"

 * I'm trying to think up ways to check if there is content on any of the other user talk pages for the IP block. --Brian McNeil / talk 18:13, 30 January 2006 (UTC)

Brian, I'm currently checking all known IP ranges for the Senate. Please note that this takes quite a long time (I'm looking at about 4 - 5 hours per range of 65,025 IP's each, and I currently have 4 ranges, bringing the total to over 260,000 IP addresses.

Edits on 2003 Invasion of Iraq
This is a nice one from the Wikipedia investigation, but it would require that someone establish who was using housegate10.house.gov (IP:143.231.249.141) at the time. Here are the edits...

 and  "Links between al Qaeda and Iraq were often mentioned in the run-up to war. Before the invasion, journalists were generally skeptical -- an about-face from years prior when the media generally trumpeted Iraq / al Qaeda connections."

"In 2004, the National Commission on Terrorist Attacks Upon the United States, also known as the 9/11 Commission, concluded that there was no credible evidence that Saddam Hussein had assisted al-Qaeda in preparing for or carrying out the 9/11 attacks. Such a link was never suggested by President Bush or the Bush administration as a justification for the invasion; rather, that such a relationship existed at all is seen as compelling."

Edits on [ 9/11 history]
Have any of the large number of edits to the 9/11 entry been made from the House IPs? Investigation of this would probably yield some very interesting results.

Matt Yancey
I just had a lengthy telephone conversation w/ Matt Yancey of AP, he the head for national stories regarding the U.S. Congress. He repeatedly said he does not see anything important, he does not see a story here. He said "that's a problem with your website, if you allow anyone to do this then there's something wrong with security on your website". I told him AP already had a story out and he dismissed that as a local story. *shakes head* I'm a newcomer to Wikinews and now I understand its potential. Achille 14:33, 30 January 2006 (UTC)
 * I wonder what he would say if a senator would bribe a Britannica or Encarta writer to sanitize his entry. --Deprifry|+T+ 14:42, 30 January 2006 (UTC)
 * There is a story here. Senators possibly trying to change their own history and or their employees? That a story to me. Especially if these people violate policy...Dismissed the article that AP did? Do we have a link or something for this AP story they did not do? Deprifry, I wonder too...wouldn't that be something if they did. Jason Safoutin 15:14, 30 January 2006 (UTC)
 * Yes, a good story, but it's like fishing trut, don't break the line ! ;) Jacques Divol 15:23, 30 January 2006 (UTC)
 * and i asked to the french wikipedia admin if there's cases in french (i know one case but from a political party) Jacques Divol 15:39, 30 January 2006 (UTC)
 * Is that case in english? Jason Safoutin 15:39, 30 January 2006 (UTC)
 * There has actually been a case in the German Wikipedia where IPs originating from the Bundestag edited the pages of candidates competing for the May 2005 state legislature election in North Rhine-Westphalia. --Deprifry|+T+ 15:42, 30 January 2006 (UTC)
 * Are there links to any of these cases or edits? I think this could make a even bigger story if we postively link the gov't(s) purposely editing their biographies and such to mislead the "people"...hhhmmm....sounds exciting already. Jason Safoutin 15:45, 30 January 2006 (UTC)
 * IPs belonging to the Bundestag are for example 193.17.243.4 or 193.17.243.1. You can see quite a lot of edits from these to articles concerning MPs, most of them are positive though. (Well, maybe not this one. A literal translation of that edit would be "You gotta fuck more. We need more eggs." ;) ) The real controversy however, with extensive press coverage, occured in May 2005 when the article of Jürgen Rüttgers (then candidate for governor in North Rhine-Westphalia) was sanitized. You can read an extensive discussion by the community on this here (in German). --Deprifry|+T+ 16:00, 30 January 2006 (UTC)

 * Ok my next question is, when was the most recent edits done with all of the IP addresses in question? If there is a place and I missed it let me know. Jason Safoutin 16:03, 30 January 2006 (UTC) Also, are there any other governments or organizations that can be linked to unusual edits elsewhere? Jason Safoutin 16:05, 30 January 2006 (UTC)
 * (Not sure if you're talking to me) About 6 hours ago, but it was a good edit. You can actually see the contributions if you click on the IPs in my previous post. --Deprifry|+T+ 17:00, 30 January 2006 (UTC)
 * A partial response, nothing like that in French somes cases but nothing we couldnt manage (i asked to admins just one answer) Jacques Divol 16:25, 30 January 2006 (UTC)

Confirmed by spokesman
Jon Brandt, spokesman for the Committee on House Administration confirmed House ownership of the IP http://www.thetranscript.com/headlines/ci_3452611
 * It's official, you can stop doing IP-arin-checks. -- Achille 18:13, 30 January 2006 (UTC)
 * It already was official. ARIN is authoritative. Uncle G 20:24, 30 January 2006 (UTC)
 * For whatever reason people kept disputing this. That same news story also metions that 10 000 employees go through that account. (blame it on the Janitor) Achille 05:08, 31 January 2006 (UTC)
 * The janitor? sorry only Senators and employees of senators (aka assistants etc) have access to the IP's mentioned in this article. Jason Safoutin 03:05, 31 January 2006 (UTC)
 * It was just a joke... 10K is a lot of people. Achille 05:08, 31 January 2006 (UTC)

Good faith
Despite the fact that such edits and "sanitation services" only prove that the Wikimedia Foundation is doing a good job, it's painful to realize that, to maintain the quality of that job, one has to spend a lot of energy, because more and more it's impossible to rely on the good faith of some users.

Two people charged over burning bodies in drums

January 30, 2006

A man and a woman have been charged with the murders of two people whose bodies were found burning in oil drums in the Tomerong State Forest, about 210 kilometers south of Sydney on Sunday.

The bodies were found by New South Wales Rural Fire Service officers who were called to extinguish a small bushfire. The firefighters notified the local Nowra police who established several crime scenes in the area. The crime scenes are believed to include an area surrounding a burnt out vehicle believed to belong to the victims, a house where the murders are thought to have occurred, and areas in the State Forest.

27-year-old Stacey Lea-Caton voluntarily attended Nowra Police Station and told officers he had witnessed a man and woman being tied up in a house in Nowra and he feared they were about to be murdered by another man and woman.

Police then attended a property in Calymea Street, Nowra, where 36-year-old Kim Leanne Snibson agreed to accompany them to the station for questioning.

Lea-Caton and Snibson have both been charged with two counts of murder and faced Nowra Local Court today.

Magistrate Doug Dick issued a suppression order on the identities of the victims, but refused Snibson’s request for a suppression order on her identity to protect her children who attend a local school, saying the court processes must be transparent.

Lea-Caton appeared briefly in the court dock but Snibson refused and remained in the cells.

They did not apply for bail and both were remanded into custody to appear in court on April 10.

Steve Kubby, co-author of California Proposition 215, grows dangerously ill in US custody

January 31, 2006

Steve Kubby who was facing extradition from Canada, returned to California, was arrested, and is now in custody in Placer County, California Jail, pending a hearing today. He is a medical cannabis patient who relies on the drug to regulate the symptoms of malignant phenochromocytoma, a cancer of the adrenal gland which can cause the level of adrenaline in his system to fluctuate out of control. If left unregulated, this can result in sudden, fatal heart attack, stroke, pneumonia, and a variety of other conditions.

Kubby was arrested on arrival at San Francisco International Airport Thursday night on behalf of the Placer County Sheriff's Department, having exhausted his extradition appeals in Canada. He was taken to San Mateo County Jail, pending transport to Placer County Jail. While at San Mateo County Jail, he was reportedly denied access to medication and sufficient bedding. On arrival at Placer County Jail, his blood pressure was dangerously high, and so was given Marinol, a THC synthetic.

Communication with Kubby is highly restricted. According to his wife, Michele, Kubby has been placed in solitary confinement, denied access several times to sufficient bedding to keep him warm, and denied access to the cannabis which, according to several experts on his universally fatal condition, has been solely responsible for keeping him alive for decades. The Marinol he is being given partially mitigates his symptoms, but does not completely control them. He now grows dangerously ill.

In particular, he relates how he was ordered by prison medical staff to take beta-blockers for his blood-pressure. Due to the episodic nature of the adrenaline spikes causing the high blood-pressure, according to all of his doctors, the beta-blockers would likely kill him once the spikes dropped. In an interview by phone with journalist Pat McCartney over the weekend, Kubby reported that, for refusing the beta-blockers, he was coerced into signing a waiver absolving the prison of liability, and has since been refused all care, including even Tylenol for pain management.

Activists concerned with medical marijuana, human rights and prison reform will hold a rally at noon today in front of the Placer County Superior Courthouse, where Steve Kubby is scheduled to be arraigned on violation of probation charges.

Kubby was a co-author of California's Compassionate Use Act of 1996, also known as Proposition 215. He fled to Canada in 2001 to escape the possibility of incarceration for an extended period without access to cannabis, a possibility which, in both his and expert medical opinion, would certainly prove fatal.

Portal:Australia/Schapelle Corby

Wikipedia says:

 * Schapelle Leigh Corby (born 10 July 1977) is an Australian former beauty therapy student from Queensland who was sentenced to 20 years imprisonment for the importation of 4.1 kg of cannabis into Bali. Corby is currently serving her sentence in Kerobokan Prison, Indonesia.'

11 May, 2005

 * Schapelle Corby found guilty, sentenced to 20 years
 * Schapelle Corby was today found guilty by an Indonesian court for the importation of 4 kilograms of marijuana to Bali. She was sentenced to 20 years in prison. The verdict was handed down by three judges amidst tight security at the Denpasar District Court. The verdict was read in Indonesian and relayed to Corby via her translator. The court erupted as the outcome became clear. Her family and supporters screamed at the judge, and said that justice had not been done. "Scheppelle is innocent!" one supporter said.

11 July, 2005

 * Australian PM promises to assist Corby
 * ''Australian Prime Minister John Howard has promised that his government will do whatever it can to assist Schapelle Corby's legal team. He said this as part of a three page letter sent in response to a request from Corby herself. "Let me assure you that the Australian Government will continue to provide every assistance it can under our legal system, consistent with our approach to date," he said.

7 April, 2005

 * Australia appeals for no execution in Indonesian drug case
 * A 27-year-old former beauty student from the Gold Coast of Australia faces the death penalty. She was allegedly caught at Bali airport importing marijuana from Australia in October. Appearing before an Indonesian judge after authorities found 4.1kg of high-grade cannabis in her unlocked boarding bag, she could be sentenced to death by firing squad, the maximum penalty for the crime.

19 January, 2006

 * Corby's 20 year sentence reinstated
 * Schappelle Corby has been told by an Indonesian court that her 20 year sentence for allegedly smuggling drugs into Indonesia would be reinstated following an appeal attempt. Her lawyers had previously been successful in reducing her sentence to 15 years. Indonesian police allege that Corby smuggled 4.1Kg of marajuana hidden in a body board bag into Bali. Corby has maintained that the drugs did not belong to her and must have been placed in her bag between Brisbane, Sydney and Bali.

29 January, 2006

 * Corby's star witness convicted of rape
 * John Patrick Ford, the Australian prisoner who testified at Schapelle Corby’s Bali drug trafficking trial, has been convicted of 11 charges relating to the rape and assault of a woman. Ford’s trial was postponed to allow him to travel to Bali in the custody of Australian Federal Police officers to testify that he had overheard a jailhouse confession. Ford alleged he had heard another prisoner claim ownership of the marijuana found in Corby’s possession. He told the Balinese court that Corby was the victim of an Australian domestic inter-airport drug-smuggling operation. She is currently serving a 20-year prison term after being convicted in that case.
