By Dheeraj Fartode Shocking allegations of misconduct have emerged against a police officer in Nagpur City Police. The officer is accused of abusive and degrading behaviour, particularly targeting accused in Protection of Children from Sexual Offences (POCSO) Act. Sources claim that the senior officer arrives at the police station and calls the accused into a separate room, where the officer not only hurls abuse at the accused but also spits at their face. Later, the officer allegedly kicks the accused in the private parts. In some incidents, when a couple approached a police station in Nagpur to file a complaint following a domestic dispute, the police sent a proposal for preventive action to the officer. However, instead of handling the matter professionally, the officer allegedly made the man sit down, then kicked him in the private parts and leave him in pain and humiliation.

United Nations says the Syrian crisis is a humanitarian tragedy which has killed more than 100,000 people and driven about 6.5 million others from their home

The United Nations says the Syrian crisis is a humanitarian tragedy which has killed more than 100,000 people and driven about 6.5 million others from their home. More than 2 million refugees have fled Syria, many crossing the borders into Lebanon, Turkey and Jordan, and the international refugee agency UNHCR has called for the pressure on Syria's neighbours to be eased.

Immigration Minister Scott Morrison says the commitment to resettle the refugees was made in response to the UNHCR request. He says the Government will work with the UNHCR to determine who gets the places, and that they will focus on highly vulnerable people in urgent need of protection.
US president Barack Obama's administration, meanwhile, has announced it has eased immigration rules to allow more of the millions of Syrians forced from their homes during the country's three-year civil war to come to the United States. Only 31 Syrian refugees - out of an estimated 2.3 million - were admitted in the fiscal year that ended in October, prompting demands for change from rights advocates and many lawmakers.
And Britain announced in January it would give temporary residence to hundreds of vulnerable Syrian refugees, targeting those most traumatised by the war.
