ONE YEAR SIX MONTHS OLD BABY KICKED OFF A PLANE BACAUSE HER NAME APPEARS ON THE TERRORIST "NO FLY" LIST


These are the times we live in believe it or not.
Parents of 18 month old Riyanna were left incredulous and humiliated when they were kicked off a Jet Blue flight at Fort Lauderdale airport in Florida on their way home to New Jersey; because their daughter's name had popped up on a 'no fly' list.

They had just boarded the aircraft when an airline employee asked them to disembark saying a representative of the Transportation Security Agency wanted to speak with them. When the toddler's mother asked why they wanted to speak with her, the employee responded "Well, it's not you or your husband. Your daughter was flagged as no fly"

After being detained for over half an hour they were cleared to go back on board without any apologies but the parents were too upset to get back on the plane.

The parents who do not wish to be identified believe they were racially profiled because they are of middle eastern descent and Riyanna's mother wears a hijab.

Jet Blue has released a statement regarding the incident which reads in part:

"We are investigating this particular incident.
We believe this was a computer glitch. Our crew members followed the appropriate protocols, and we apologize to the family involved in this unfortunate circumstance".
The parents however are not buying the story of a 'computer glitch' and are currently speaking with their lawyers.

H&M Winter Lookbook

Sonbahar ve kış artık yavaş yavaş geliyor, yarın da İstanbul'da yağmur yağacakmış hatta. Bu sene bir ilke imza attım, ne yazdan ne önümüzdeki sonbahardan şikayet ettim, hatta daha önceden ilkbahar gelsin diye can attım. Bilmeyenler için ara mevsimleri hiç sevmem, özellikle de sonbahar ve yağmurdan nefret ederim. Her neyse yeni koleksiyonlar beni neşelendirmeye yetti :) Bu yazı tüm sonbahar sevmeyenler için gelsiiin :D Fall and winter are coming slowly, I heard that it will be rainy tomorrow in İstanbul. This year I made a difference and didn't complain about fall - for the ones who don't know I hate rain and fall from seasons. Maybe because of the new collections :) And I send this post to people who don't like fall all around the world :D       Neyse ki karaları bağlamıyoruz, yine rengarenk giyinmeye devam edebiliriz. Kıyafetlerin kesimleri hatları ortaya çıkarmayacak şekilde. Thank God, we can still wear our colourful clothes. But they are going to hide our lines/curv...

VIOLENCE IN CROSS RIVER LEAVES 30 DEAD INCLUDING VILLAGE RULER AND 4 POLICEMEN

30 people were allegedly killed while four police officers and the village head of Ntan Obu Ukpe in Eniong in Odukpani local government area of Cross River State were beheaded in a communal clash between the Ntan Obu and the Ikpanya in Ibiono local government area of Akwa Ibom State on Tuesday. According to a local newspaper, about 2,000 indigenes of Ntan Obu were forced to take refuge in nearby communities of Odukpani council as many houses including churches were destroyed during the crisis. The Chairman of Odukpani Local council, Stephen Asuquo, while confirming the incident, told journalists that the people of Ntan Obu were attacked by the Ikpanaya neighbouring community of Akwa Ibom State, last week. "The remote cause, I can say, is the struggle by people from the Ikpanya for the land that belongs to the Ntan Obu.Ikpanya is in Ibiono council of Akwa Ibom State while Ntan Obu is in Odukpani council in Cross River State," he said.
