10+ hour, 57+ min ago (550+ words) Pressure is mounting on the Labour Government to call for the release of two British businessmen 'forgotten' for 17 years in a UAE jail. Two leading human rights lawyers have written to Foreign Secretary Yvette Cooper calling on her to personally intervene in the cases of Ryan Cornelius, 71, and Charles Ridley 66, who have been languishing in a Dubai prison since 2008. In their letter, Rhys Davies KC and Ben Keith KC say the 'unlawful' detention of the two Britons after their conviction in a 'kangaroo court', 'is likely to continue unless the United Kingdom Government takes action'. Before their arrest, the two men had agreed to a settlement scheme, in which they had begun to pay back the money before they were detained and convicted. Rhys Davies told the Mail on Sunday that the pair's plight " which has seen both men since…...

14+ hour, 5+ min ago (563+ words) FRONTLINE cops are now reaching for their Tasers much more than a baton or pepper spray when fighting crime, The Sun on Sunday can reveal. New analysis of Home Office data shows that police officers are six times more likely to use a stun device to defend themselves than a traditional police truncheon. The high-tech weapons can be deployed at a distance, increasing the safety for bobbies fighting crime on the streets. The same can be said for irritant spray, with officers now one and a half times more likely to favour using a Taser device for self-defence. This growing trend comes despite both baton and irritant sprays being carried by every officer on the beat, and Tasers only by those who have received specialist training. Analysis by Axon, the manufacturer of the devices for UK police forces, also shows…...

15+ hour, 48+ min ago (292+ words) DOTHAN, Ala. (WTVY) -A man who pleaded guilty to manslaughter could be returned to prison after his latest arrest this weekend. Dothan police officers booked Tayshawn Malik Stevenson, 29, into the city jail on Saturday morning. He faces charges of attempting to elude, possession of marijuana and resisting arrest. Those charges may be the least of his concerns because, as a convicted killer, he could be returned to the Alabama Department of Corrections to complete a 15-year sentence on his prior charge. Court records show that a judge ordered Stevenson to serve three years of that sentence behind bars, followed by probation. Stevenson pleaded guilty to manslaughter, though he was initially charged with murder. Prosecutor to review case Houston County District Attorney Russ Goodman said his office will review Stevenson's latest charges when the police report reaches his office next week....

17+ hour, 34+ min ago (451+ words) Prison officers are leaving the service by the thousand each year amid warnings of threats to their safety and "hardened criminals" running rings around inexperienced staff.There were 3,047 people registered leaving the frontline of the service in the 12 months to September but just 2,416 joiners. This comes amid strong concern about overcrowding in prisons and security risks at a time when the service has been rocked by the mistaken release of prisoners. Shadow Justice Secretary Robert Jenrick said: "Prisonofficers are being put in impossible positions. The Government must have their back and roll out the protective gear they need immediately. The delays are risking lives." Mr Jenrick is alarmed that inmates who had been placed in solitary confinement have successfully argued that keeping them separate from other prisoners is unlawful under the European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR). He said: "[Murderers]…...
