Marilyn Manson's sexual assault case by former assistant reinstated under new California law A previously dismissed sexual assault case against Marilyn Manson, filed by former assistant Ashley Walters, was revived Monday in Los Angeles Superior Court under a new California law extending the statute of limitations for certain sexual abuse claims. Judge Steve Cochran granted Walters’ motion for reconsideration, vacating his December 2025 ruling that had dismissed the case and allowing it to proceed toward trial. The original suit, first filed in 2021, accused Manson, whose legal name is Brian Warner, of sexual harassment, sexual battery, intentional infliction of emotional distress, and wrongful termination based on her time working for him in 2010–2011. Previous attempts to move the case forward were blocked because the claims were made years after the alleged incidents, with courts initially ruling that the delayed discovery doctrine did not apply.

SOMALIA ESTABLISHES ITS FIRST-EVER NATIONAL HUMAN RIGHTS COMMISSION. (PHOTO).


 Somalia establishes its first-ever national human rights commission


Somali President Hassan Sheikh Mohamud on Wednesday signed into law the establishment of the country's first ever National Human Rights Commission, TRT Afrika reported.


The presidential assent marks the final step in a long reform process that has involved extensive legislative and governmental approval.


The commission, aimed at advancing justice, accountability, and legal transparency, was endorsed by both Houses of the Federal Parliament and approved by the cabinet.


The process reached a milestone on July 3, 2025, when Somalia nominated the commission’s first officials. Minister of Family Affairs and Human Rights, Khadija Makhzoumi, hailed that moment as “a historic breakthrough 65 years after Somalia’s statehood,” saying the country was finally joining the ranks of nations with dedicated, independent national human rights bodies.


President hails milestone


President Hassan Sheikh Mohamud called the commission “a reflection of Somalia’s firm commitment to safeguarding the rights and dignity of its citizens.”


The establishment of the commission comes during a broader reform to shift human rights oversight from international mechanisms to national institutions.


In September, the cabinet, chaired by Prime Minister Hamza Abdi Barre, unanimously endorsed ending the mandate of the UN Independent Expert on the Human Rights Situation in Somalia, as part of the government’s Human Rights Transition Plan.


The UN mandate is set to conclude at the end of October 2025.


Push for commission establishment


Parallel developments occurred at the UN Human Rights Council’s 60th session held on October 8, 2025, when the council ended the mandate of the Independent Expert on Somalia.


Civil society groups have long pushed for a national authority capable of documenting violations, supporting victims, and guiding human-rights-based governance.
