2. China criticized
over alleged 'black
jails'
BEIJING, China -- Chinese
authorities should abolish secret
jails used to unlawfully detain
citizens who travel to the capital
and other major cities to file
complaints, Human Rights
Watch says.
For the past six years, citizens
have been held without commu
nication in so-called black jails,
often located in state-owned ho
tels, nursing homes and psychi
atric hospitals, according to a
new report from the human
rights group.
Most of the detainees are from
rural areas and travel to major
cities to submit grievances at pe
titions and appeals offices,
which address cases without
going to court, Human Rights
Watch said.
3. Japan Cheers
Emperor
Like Mr. Royal, 37, many of
those injured in the methodical
killing spree at Fort Hood, of
which Maj. Nidal Malik Hasan
has been charged, have already
begun the process of moving
on, even as they live with scars
and limps and frayed nerves,
with wheelchairs and stomach
staples and colostomy bags,
with bullets positioned too pre
cariously in soft tissue for doc
tors to remove without risk.
Those with physical injuries,
at least came away from an un
explainable horror with some
thing tangible to focus on in the
weeks and months ahead.
Twelve people are still in the
hospital, some who may need
months to recover.
US President Barack Obam
paid tribute to the fallen on
Tues. at a memorial service for
the fallen.

Tokyo, JAPAN -- Tens of
thousands of well-wishers lined

get the lessons of World War 11.
More than 50,000 people
gathered around the Imperial
Palace for the parade, a concert
and other events marking Aki
hito's ascent to the world's old
est hereditary throne.
Speaking at a news confer
ence, Akihito said he worried
