2012 Italian shooting in the Arabian Sea
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jump to: navigation, search 2012 Italian shooting in the Arabian sea | The shootings occurred off the coast of Kerala state, India | Enrica Lexie at Kochi | Location | Indian Contiguous zone | Date | 15 February 2012
16:30 IST (disputed) (UTC+05:30) | Attack type | Shooting | Deaths | Indian fishermen: Ajesh Binki and Gelastine (Valentine) | Perpetrators | Italian Marines: Massimiliano Latorre and Salvatore Girone (accused) |

The incident sparked a major diplomatic row between the governments of Italy and India, with Indian police immediately opening a murder inquiry, and the Indian Coast Guard later intercepting the ship and arresting two Italian marines suspected of being involved in the shooting. The two Italian marines were released after 105 days in judicial custody under strict bail conditions and assurances from the Italian government that they will remain available to answer charges before Indian courts.
The Indian government allowed the marines to travel to Italy in February 2013 to vote in Italian general elections, after receiving assurances from the Italian government that the two marines will return to India. However, on 11 March 2013 the diplomatic row escalated into a stand-off when the Italian Foreign Ministry unilaterally announced that the marines will not return to India to stand trial. [1] On 21 March 2013, Italy backtracked from their decision and sent the marines back to India.

    Comparing The Yellow Wallpaper 'And A Rose For Emily'

    The short stories "The Yellow Wallpaper" by Charlotte Perkins Gilman and "A Rose for Emily" by William Faulkner illustrate the plight of women in a patriarchal society. The female characters in these stories are oppressed and dehumanized by the overbearing male influences in each of their lives. Both characters delve into insanity as an escape from the world that devalues them. Although these stories depict a similar era and theme, the portrayal of the female characters in each story is quite different, as are the authors of the stories themselves. Each author weaves into their stories their own perspective of women's lives at this time based on their own life experiences, but also on their own genders. The author's genders and view on their worlds greatly affects the way the female characters in these stories are depicted.…

Doby talks about the war between the Sea Shepherd, an organization that confronts Japanese whalers in the ocean to stop them from killing whales, and the Japanese whaling fleet. The Sea Shepherd would track and attempt to stop the fleet of Japanese whaling ships (135). The war between the Japanese whalers and the Sea Shepherd has grabbed the attention of the media all over the world and caused various attentions to the Japanese whalers. The Sea Shepherd actions seen by the Japanese would be considered “terrorist” or “pirates,” but the Sea Shepherd believed that they are an environmental organization that are protecting the whales. This paper will help me talk about organizations that are fighting the whalers to protect whales in the Southern Ocean. I will also use it to talk about how the media sees the…

    Somali Civil War: Piracy Off The Coast Of Somalia

    Since the second phase of the Somali Civil War, which started in the early 2000’s, piracy off the coast of Somalia has been a great danger to international shipping. Starting in 2005, many international organizations, which include the International Maritime Organization and the World Food Program, have expressed major concern over the rising acts of piracy. Piracy has made trouble for the delivery of shipments and raised shipping costs, which have risen to an estimated 10 billion dollars a year in trade world wide.

    Shipbreaking In The Outlaw Sea

    In The Outlaw Sea, author William Langewiesche states, “Even the lowliest laborers are proud of what they do at Alang. There is no ship too big to be torn apart this way. More important, the economic effects are substantial. Alang and the industries that have sprung from it provide a livelihood, however meager, for perhaps as many as a million Indians” (205). In Chapter 6, Langewiesche examines the lives of the shipbreaking and milling factory workers at Alang and Bhavnagar, and unveils many of the harsh realities behind the shipbreaking business, such as its environmental impacts and the role Western societies play in the exploitation of its laborers throughout…
