A former special forces soldier turned fashion designer was filled with pride when he saw Australia's top spy wearing a jacket he created while rescuing academic Kylie Moore-Gilbert from her Iranian jail. Mark Wales was watching the prisoner swap on the news last week when he noticed Nick Warner, the 70-year-old director general of the Australian Secret Intelligence Service, wearing a leather Kill Kapture jacket as he escorted Dr Moore-Gilbert into a van. Mr Wales, from the Pilbara region of Western Australia, created the brand in New York after retiring from a distinguished SAS career which included ten tours of duty with four in [/news/afghanistan/index.html Afghanistan]. Mark Wales (pictured in the field), from the Pilbara region of Western Australia, created the Kill Kapture brand in New York after retiring from a distinguished SAS career Mr Wales (pictured) created his brand after 16 years in the military. Australia's spy boss wore one of his jackets during a prisoner swap Mr Warner's decision to wear the brand, which closely identifies with special operations forces, could be interpreted as a subtle tribute to Australia's dedicated and law-abiding soldiers who have been shocked by war crimes allegations reported last week. Mr Wales, who spent 16 years in the military including six in special ops, told Daily Mail Australia he was 'proud as anything' when he saw Mr Warner wearing his design. 'I replayed the footage because I was looking at the guy leaning forward in the van and I was thinking the seam of the back of that jacket looks like one of mine,' he said. 'And then when he turned I saw the chevrons on the neck and I thought "oh sh***" that's Nick Warner in my jacket. 'I thought [http://photo.net/gallery/tag-search/search?query_string=%27%27that%27s ''that's] really cool'' and I was proud as anything to see it in the mix overseas.' Mr Wales revealed that Mr Warner's wife had bought her husband the $1,500 jacket for a birthday present.

The jacket, which features three chevrons on the neck and a tracking system in case it gets lost, is marketed at former troops and other men of action. Australia's special forces have faced scrutiny after a four-year ADF inquiry last week reported evidence of 39 murders of civilians or prisoners by 25 Aussies serving in Afghanistan from 2009 to 2016. The Chief of the Army last week revealed that 13 members face the sack after being handed administrative action notices proposing to terminate their employment.

Mr Wales believes Australia's special forces were overused in Afghanistan and as a result soldiers were ground down and psychologically scarred.

Mr Wales, who is not under investigation, said the allegations of unlawful killings were 'evil' and 'inexcusable' but argued the 'decision-makers that green-lighted this mess of a war, year after year, are just as culpable.' Dr Moore-Gilbert (pictured) was jailed for 10 years in Iran but Australia rescued her He said he feels 'terrible' that his service has been tarnished by the actions of a minority. Dr Moore-Gilbert, an Islamic studies lecturer with British and Australian citizenship, was arrested at Tehran Airport in September 2018. She was charged with espionage and jailed for 10 years after a secret trial. The Australian government rejected her conviction and negotiated her release in exchange for three Iranian terrorists who were jailed in Thailand. When Dr Moore-Gilbert was released after surviving 804 days in Iran's worst prisons, she thanked the Australian government for 'working tirelessly' to secure her freedom. Mr Warner, who was Australia's ambassador to Iran from 1994 to 1997, was said to have played a pivotal role in the negotiations, using his diplomatic contacts. The 70-year-old, who will retire in December, caused a stir in 2017 when he famously posed with Philippines president Rodrigo Duterte while copying the strongman's signature move of a raised fist. It is not suggested that Mr Warner in any way supports or condones the alleged carrying out of war crimes by members of the SASR, only that he may be supportive of the SASR as an institution.

Prime Minister Scott Morrison says the return of Kylie Moore-Gilbert to Australia after two years in an Iranian prison was a "moment of pure joy". The British-Australian academic was freed this week after spending more than two years in detention in Iran on spying charges she and the Australian government vehemently deny. She arrived in Canberra on Friday afternoon and is now undergoing two weeks of mandatory hotel quarantine. Mr Morrison this week described Dr Moore-Gilbert as "an extraordinarily intelligent, strong and courageous woman" and an "amazing Australian".

Women Who Escaped Slavery Turn Anti-trafficking Crusaders In India

2020-12-31T15:06:37Z

172.104.163.75:

By Anuradha Nagaraj CHENNAI, India, Dec 1 (Thomson Reuters Foundation) - S eparated from her parents, Jayashree Ponrajan spent most of her teenage years trapped in a form of bonded labour - forced to live and [https://www.kynghidongduong.vn/tours/tour-thai-lan-bangkok-pattaya-5-ngay.html tour đi thái lan] work in the spinning mills of southern India. It took Ponrajan years to find a way out, [https://www.kynghidongduong.vn/tours/tour-thai-lan-bangkok-pattaya-5-ngay.html tour thái lan giá rẻ] but ever since then she has been denouncing the recruitment of teenagers in India's textile and garments industry and the harsh conditions they face. That made her an obvious candidate for a new initiative that will train victims of forced labour and human trafficking to be campaigners in communities at high risk from modern slavery. "I tell everyone my story - how I went to a spinning mill when I was 14, cried when I was not allowed to meet my mother, lost the nails of my right hand and learnt to continue work with my left," Ponrajan told the Thomson Reuters Foundation. Now 43, she has been recruited to a team of 50 female slavery survivors and hopes her voice will be heard by those who can change the way business and work is conducted in the Indian garment industry, which employs at least 12 million people. The initiative wants to "bring the lived experience of women and survivors to the anti-slavery movement", said Claire Falconer, who heads the Freedom Rising project, launched by anti-trafficking nonprofit the Freedom Fund. "The aim is to give an authenticity to the voice of the movement as their (survivors') perspective is critical to the work of changing the conditions that lead people to be exploited," she added. About 2,260 cases of human trafficking involving more than 6,000 victims were reported in India last year, with sex trafficking and forced labour the most common offences. Networks of former victims across various Indian states play a key role in helping anti-trafficking groups reach people still trapped in modern slavery - from bonded labour in brick kilns to labour abuse in garment factories. In December, survivors from 11 Indian states turned campaigners by roping in their communities to write more than 110,000 postcards to Prime Minister Narendra Modi, urging him to bring in an anti-trafficking law. Several state governments are also working with survivor networks and community groups to track down and help victims. Under the new programme, being launched online on Wednesday, each cohort of 50 leaders in different states will get a minimum of 12 months of mentoring, leadership and technical training, before [http://www.tumblr.com/tagged/graduating graduating] to join the Freedom Rising alumni network. "Besides building capacity of individuals, we want to change organisations culturally. For example, many organisations working to protect the rights of female garment workers are led by men," Falconer said. Following the pilot project in the southern state of Tamil Nadu, the Freedom Fund will roll out the programme to other parts of India, Nepal, Thailand and Ethiopia. For Ponrajan, who eventually graduated in social work and now works as a field coordinator for nonprofit Centre for Action and Rural Education (CARE), her new role is an opportunity for personal growth as well as a chance to help others. "I want to be heard everywhere and by everyone. For that I need to learn English and also be more aware of labour laws," she said. "I'm hoping this programme will help me learn new skills (to) reach out to more people. Then, change will happen faster." (Reporting by Anuradha Nagaraj @AnuraNagaraj; Editing by Helen Popper.

BANGKOK, Nov 30 (Reuters) - Thailand was racing to track down about 200 people in its northern provinces on Monday to stop a potential coronavirus outbreak, after three Thai nationals entered the country illegally from Myanmar and tested positive days later. Three women bypassed immigration checks and entered via natural border crossings last Tuesday and Friday, skipping the mandatory quarantine for new arrivals, Chiang Rai provincial governor Prachon Pratsakul said.
