Haniyeh's daughter arrested in Israel YNet ^ \| May 29, 2006 \| Efrat Weiss Palestinian prime minister's daughter attempts to enter Eshel Prison in southern city of Be'er Sheva in order to meet with fiancé The daughter of Palestinian Prime Minister Ismail Haniyeh attempted to enter the Eshel Prison in the south using the identity card of another woman in a bid to meet her fiancé who is a prisoner there. Haola Haniyeh was arrested and taken into interrogation, and it is believed a criminal file will be opened against her due to the use of a false identity. In the afternoon hours, Ismail Haniyeh's 18-year-old daughter arrived on a bus carrying family members of prisoners to the jail in Be'er Sheva. Palestinians say she arrived at the prison to visit her fiancé who is also relative, Abd Haniyeh, a Hamas member who is serving a 15-year sentence for attempted murder. As the Israel Prisons Service only allows immediate family members to visit prisoners, Haniyeh is not eligible to visit her fiancé. Haniyeh's office working for release Palestinian sources said that she used an identity card belonging to her fiancé's 15-year-old daughter, but her behavior caused suspicions, and prison staff transferred her to police in the area, who took her into interrogation at a Be'er Sheva police station. A Red Cross representative who accompanied the family members said that contacts are being held to arrange Haniyeh's release. Ynet was told the Palestinian Prime Minister's Office is working for the release of Haniyeh's daughter, although Haniyeh's office is refusing to officially address the incident. In similar incidents, Palestinians who illegally enter Israel and are caught are usually returned to the Palestinian Authority. Ali Waked and Anat Barshkovsky contributed to the report

Pedophile party wants age of consent cut (Netherlands) news.com.au ^ \| May 30, 2006 DUTCH pedophiles were launching a political party to push for a cut in the legal age for sexual relations from 16 to 12 and the legalisation of child pornography and sex with animals. The Charity, Freedom and Diversity (NVD) party said on its website it would be registered officially on Wednesday, proclaiming: "We are going to shake The Hague awake!" The party said it wanted to cut the legal age for sexual relations to 12 and eventually scrap the limit altogether. "A ban just makes children curious," Ad van den Berg, one of the party's founders, told the Algemeen Dagblad (AD) newspaper. "We want to make pedophilia the subject of discussion," he said. He said it had been a taboo since the 1996 Marc Dutroux child abuse scandal in neighbouring Belgium. "We have been hushed up. The only way is through parliament," Mr van den Berg said. The Netherlands already has liberal policies on soft drugs, prostitution, and gay marriage, but the NVD is unlikely to win much support, the AD quoted experts as saying. "They make out as if they want more rights for children. But their position that children should be allowed sexual contact from age 12 is of course just in their own interest," anti-pedophile campaigner Ireen van Engelen told the daily. The party said private possession of child pornography should be allowed although it favours banning the trade of such materials. The broadcast of pornography should be allowed on daytime television, with only violent pornography limited to the late evening, according to the party. Toddlers should be given sex education and youths aged 16 and up should be allowed to appear in pornographic films and prostitute themselves. Sex with animals should be allowed although abuse of animals should remain illegal, the NVD said. The party also said everybody should be allowed to go naked in public. The party's programme also includes ideas for other areas of public policy including legalising all soft and hard drugs and free train travel for all.

Soldier finds winning lottery ticket Tuesday, May 30, 2006; Posted: 11:50 a.m. EDT (15:50 GMT) BAY SHORE, New York (AP) -- A U.S. soldier and his girlfriend found a winning lottery ticket on the ground at a convenience store Monday and turned it in to police, who were able to find its owner -- a $2,500 winner with no idea her lucky ticket was missing. Sgt. Edward Boniberger and Marnie Hall found the ticket in a plastic case at a store, Suffolk County Police said. They tried to find the woman who had signed it, but when they could not, they took it to a police station. Detectives then located Mary Ann Doerrbecker, who had not realized she had dropped the ticket, according to Detective Sgt. Thomas Groneman. "She was shocked," Groneman said. Doerrbecker met the couple at the Third Precinct and offered them a reward, which they declined. "He said, 'Absolutely not,"' Groneman said. Boniberger said he told Doerrbecker she should donate something to charity instead. "There's people out there who need it a lot more than I do," he said. He said he would have wanted someone else to do the same if it had been him who lost the ticket. Boniberger, of the 1st Battalion, 69th Infantry, was stationed in Baghdad and returned to the United States in September 2005.
