 That’s Not Fair - Kim Kardashian Says Prisoners Who Fought L.A. Wildfires Were Paid 'Just a Few Dollars,' and She Wants to Change That A renewed push for prison labor reform is gaining attention, with Kim Kardashian stepping in to support new legislation aimed at changing how incarcerated workers are paid. The bill, reintroduced on March 19 by Cory Booker, seeks to ensure that people working while incarcerated receive at least the federal minimum wage. It also proposes limits on deductions for fees, fines, and living costs within correctional facilities, through amendments to the Fair Labor Standards Act. Kardashian, who has increasingly focused on criminal justice reform, explained that her support is rooted in what she witnessed during the Los Angeles wildfires.  “I personally watched incarcerated people who risked their lives battling the massive wildfires,” she said, pointing out that many were paid only a few dollars a day despite doing the same high-risk work as profess...

 UN Security Council slaps sanctions on four RSF commanders over Al Fasher atrocities


The UN Security Council has announced sanctions on four RSF commanders for atrocities committed in the October takeover of the Sudan’s Darfur city of Al Fasher.


The four are high-ranking members of the Rapid Support Forces, which a UN probe last week determined had committed acts of genocide in their 18-month siege and eventual capture of Al Fasher.


They are RSF deputy commanders Abdelrahim Hamdan Daglo and Gedo Hamdan Ahmed, Brigadier General Al-Fateh Abdullah Idris, and field commander Tijani Ibrahim.


Since April 2023, Sudan has been gripped by what the UN has called a "war of atrocities" between the RSF and Sudan's regular army, killing tens of thousands and creating the world's largest hunger and displacement crises.


Al Fasher under siege


For a year and a half, the RSF besieged North Darfur's state capital, Al Fasher -- the region's last major city to evade their control -- before storming the city on October 26.


The campaign, which the UN fact-finding mission described as "three days of horror", was marked by summary executions, systematic sexual violence, and mass detention -- primarily targeting the city's ethnic Zaghawa population.


Abdelrahim, brother of RSF chief Mohamed Hamdan Daglo, appears in footage "giving direct orders to his fighters to not take captives but to kill everyone", according to the sanctions announcement, AFP reported.


He is already sanctioned by the United States, the United Kingdom and the European Union.


‘Butcher of Al-Fasher’


Idris, commonly referred to as Abu Lulu, became known as "the Butcher of Al-Fasher" for graphic videos he himself posted of the takeover.


"Abu Lulu has filmed himself smiling and killing people while they begged for mercy, as well as videos where he makes ethnically targeted executions," the Security Council said.


He, Ahmed and Ibrahim were slapped with US sanctions last week over their roles in the "ethnic killings, torture, starvation and sexual violence" committed in Al Fasher.


A special Security Council committee with representatives of all 15 member countries makes decisions on such sanctions.
