Thousands rally against mob violence in India

Protests were held in 16 Indian cites after a series of lynchings across India. In the last 22 months, there have been 17 instances of members from minority communities being targeted by right wing groups.

Many of these attacks have taken place on the pretexts of saving cows. Hindus consider the cow to be their holy animal. Just last week, a 16-year-old was lynched to death in Delhi after a mob accused him of having eaten beef.

The Indian government has condemned the violence and has promised justice.

Manslaughter charges for chief police officer at Hillsborough

Six men including four former police officers will face criminal charges over the 1989 Hillsborough disaster in which 96 Liverpool football fans were killed in a stadium crush in Sheffield. 

The announcement from Britain's Crown Prosecution Service follows  a long campaign for justice from relatives of the victims.  

In the wake of the tragedy, officers from South Yorkshire Police Force suggested hooliganism and drinking by Liverpool supporters caused the disaster.    A second inquest into the deaths in 2016  found the supporters were unlawfully killed due to failures of the police and ambulance service. 

The police officer who had overall command of the match, former Chief Superintendent David Duckenfield will face manslaughter by gross negligence in 95 of the deaths.
