The 55 year old Keith Scott Brown, father of the music group 5 Browns, is pleaded guilty last Thursday on Provo, Utah courtroom of sexually abusing his three daughters when they were children. The sentencing is due to March 31 and could spent 10 years in prison.

The sentence charge are first-degree felony sodomy on a child, which he will face 10 years in prison, and two counts of second-degree felony, each will be 1 to 15 years payment. The imprisonment charges will run concurrently.

Neither of the sisters appeared on the court although Kimball Thomson, the group spokesperson, said that they were satisfied by the plea agreement.

“While clearly the current events surrounding the family are painful, the sisters were well prepared for this day, and are relieved and grateful to close this chapter in their lives,” said Kimball.

“They wanted their father to take responsibility more than anything else,” David Sturgill, Deputy Utah County Attorney, also added.

Brown leaved the 4th District Judge David N. Mortensen’s courtroom who rejected to comment any to the reporters.

“Today was the next step in a very long process of accountability for a reprehensible act,” Steven Shapiro, Brown’s attorney said.

The three daughters – Desirae, 32, Deondra, 30, and Melody, 26 – cooperatively gave their identity to the media.

It is reported that Brown engaged sexual activity, under the age of 14, with one of his daughters. During the identical time, Brown also molested another daughter, who is also under the age of 14, and repeated the offense between March 1997 and March 1998.

“They are killing us!” a man told reporter as police shoots buckshot and teargas. Demonstrators camped outside at Bahrain’s capital on Thursday making three or four dead people on the ground. Reports still not clear whether 3 or 4 people are killed. The rally is inspired by Egyptians which made Hosni Mubarak to resign.

There are about 2,000 people of varied gender, including children too, who have camped for three days at Pearl Square in Manama when polices attack them. Dozens people were also detained. The capital now is locked with army patrols and tanks and streets are being circulated by army patrols, too.

After some hours of the bloodshed, military announced on state TV that gatherings are banned and it had “key parts” of the capital under control. Banks and other institutions did not open, workers did not went work and people are afraid to pass through checkpoints. Interior Ministry gave warning that Bahrainis should stay off the streets.

Police totally cleaned the demonstrators’ site, Pearl Square, after flattened the tents, crash the banners and barbed wires and blue police lights are also seen. A white sheet covered a body in a pool of blood about 20 yards at the landmark square.

“We yelled, ‘We are peaceful! Peaceful!’ The women and children were attacked just like the rest of us,” Mahmoud Mansouri, a protester, said about the bloody encounter. “They moved in as soon as the media left us. They knew what they’re doing.”

A doctor, who is shifting to give medical support to the tents, is also caught, tied up and severely beaten then, thrown to a bus where the others are to.

“I was yelling, ‘I’m a doctor. I’m a doctor.’ But they didn’t stop.” Dr. Sadek Al-Ikri said.

Out of their mourn to a demonstrator who died in clashes of security forces, the Bahrain protesters continue to rally at the Manama’s landmark square on Wednesday. The demand is a political reform. The mourners of a man who was shot on Tuesday after some fightings broke at another protester’s burial.

Security forces were told to pull back after the death of at least two demonstrators and several injured. The Interior Ministry said that they are willing to take any legal actions if they find the incident ploice used “unjustifiable” force.

The protests began on Monday as a cry for the country’s Sunni monarchy to loosen up and economic hardships, lack of political freedoms and sectarian discrimination.

They chant: “The people demand the fall of the regime!” as men pound their chest, a mourning gesture to the Shi’ite. Shiites have a long complain that in decision-making roles, they are being blocked. Protesters are also chanting to sweep away the ruling dynasty that has ruled them for more than 200 years.

“We are not looking for a religious government like Iran’s, but we demand a civil government,” Sheik Ali Salman, the leader of the largest Shiite political bloc, said in a news conference.

P.J. Crowley, the U.S. State Department spokesman, also commented that the Obama administration is very concerned by the urging violence to the country.

“The United States welcomes the government of Bahrain’s statements that it will investigate these deaths, and that it will take legal action against any unjustified use of force by Bahraini security forces,” Crowley said. “We urge that it follow through on these statements as quickly as possible.”

Last Monday, an Ecuador judge ruled that the Chevron Corp. must pay $9.5 billion for the oil drilling contamination to the country’s northern jungle for damages and clean up costs.

But Chevron, in a statement, that they will appeal as the decision is said to be “illegitimate and unenforceable.”It added that they did not believe the judgement “enforceable in any court that observes the rule of law.”

“We intend to see that the perpetrators of this fraud are held accounable for their misconduct,” Kent Robertson, company spokesperson e-mailed to The Associated Press adding that the evidence on fraud is overwhelming.

The original amount recommended is $27.3 billion, far lower to $9.5 billion but the filed fine is still is the highest cost ever issued in an environmental case.

Pablo Fajardo, the plaintiffs’ lead lawyer, said that the 187-page judgment is “a great step that we have made toward the crystallization of justice” but is still not satisfied with the damage award.

The case was originally filed at New York federal court in 1993 against Texaco which Chevron bought in 2001, but was dismissed three years later because Chevron argued that Ecuador is the more appropriate place to do the hearing. The suit sought damage to around 30,000 people for environmental contamination.

“It is time Chevron clean up its disastrous mess in Ecuador,” Amazon Watch and Rainforest Action Network said on Monday in a joint statement.

Thousands of women gather to protests of Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi’s sex scandal but the PM said last Monday that he has no intention of going down. Italian women fight for their dignity as the 74-year old PM was involved in a prostitution of the then 17 year old Moroccan Karima El Mahroug.

Meanwhile, he refuses that he harmed any women of disrespect.

“I saw the usual factional forces mobilized against me by a certain section of the left which uses any pretext to beat an adversary whom they can’t manage to beat at the polls,” he said at Canale 5 network. “All women who have had the opportunity to get to know me, know how much I respect them. I have always behaved and I always behave with great care and great respect, both in my companies and in my government.

“I have always tried to act in such a way that every woman feels special,” he added.

In regards with this, the second longest-serving Prime Minister of Italy told that his government will not resign.

“There is a lot of confusion but I have very clear ideas. The interest of the country is to have a stable government which carries on with its program with determination,” he declare.

The request of Milan prosecutors for a trial on Berlusconi is expected to confirm whether to accept early this week.

Due to the successes of Egypt and Tunisia that throwed their presidents, now Algeria is on their way into making their own history. Just this Sunday, anti-government protesters said that they will continue what they have started this weekend by calling more demonstrators in their capital, Algiers, until government changes.

Although outnumbered by police riots, thousands of protesters still continue for their demonstrations as they chant in chorus: “No to the police state!”; with banners that read: “Give us back our Algeria.” It has been reported that around 400 were detained by police but no further violence was accured during the weekend in Tunisia.

Civil society groups, several trade unionists and an opposition party is said to have organized the rally and will still continue to recruit more demonstrators as they continue every Saturday to rally.

“We will continue to march until the regime steps down. Each Saturday we will maintain the pressure,” Mohsen Belabes, spokesman for the RCD opposition party, said.

Another participant of the said rally said that their fear is gone. “This demonstration is a success because it’s been 10 years that people haven’t been able to march in Algiers and there’s a sort of psychological barrier,” said Ali Rachedi, the former head of the Front of Socialist Forces party.

Meanwhile, Algeria President Abdelaziz Bouteflika said to make changes in his government to relieve the pressure on his administration.
