  • Budhia Singh, (left) 6, the famous Limca World Record marathoner, is training on the roads near his home in Salia Sahi slum (pop. 30.000) of Bhubaneswar, the capital of Orissa State, on Sunday, May 18. On May 1, 2006, Budhia completed a record breaking 65 km run from Jagannath temple, Puri to Bhubaneswar. He was accompanied by his coach Biranchi Das and by the Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF). On 8th May 2006, a Government statement had ordered that he stopped running. The announcement came after doctors found the boy had high blood pressure and cardiological stress. As of 13th August 2007 Budhia's coach Biranchi Das was arrested by Indian police on suspicion of torture. Singh has accused his coach of beating him and withholding food. Das says Singh's family are making up charges as a result of a few petty rows. On April 13, Biranchi Das was shot dead in Bhubaneswar, in what is believed to be an event unconnected with Budhia, although the police is investigating the case and has made an arrest, a local goon named Raja Archary, which is now in police custody. **Italy and China Out**

Islamic Hip Hop artists like the duo 'Blind Alphabetz', from London, feel more than ever the need to say what they think aloud. In the music industry the backlash of a disputable Western foreign policy towards Islamic countries and its people is strong. The number of artists in the European Union and the US taking this into consideration and addressing the current social and political problems within their lyrics is growing rapidly and fostering awareness for Muslim and others alike.

  • (name changed) Neelam Bharadwaj, 16, is standing inside her family’s home in Rajbhar village, located around 20 kilometres away from Varanasi, in Uttar Pradesh, India. Neelam was raped when she was 13 years old. After walking to a local shop on the main road neighbouring her village, she was forcibly picked up by two men. While one of them was raping her in the bushes, the other watched out. After some time, she managed to free herself and run away, hiding under a bridge in cold dirty water for several hours. When she returned home in the morning, the family was too afraid to go to the police, but activist Mangla Parsad, 34, from PVCHR, convinced the family to take the right action. The police initially insulted and threatened the family for bringing the facts up, but filed the official case (FIR) nevertheless. The rape was not mentioned in the file due to an inaccurate and superficial medical record that did not, in fact, mention it. Because of social shame facing by victims of rape in India, the family agreed to wed Neelam to an older man, with help of an agent. After the marriage, her husband raped her again for a whole month before she decided to return home with her family. Neelam’s father works in the metal industry in Mumbai and manages to send around 2-3000 INR every month. He only visits the family once in a year. Neelam goes to school and she is studying in 11th Class Standard. She is interested in doing BA in Arts after completing her high school 12th final year.

Neelam was raped when she was 13 years old. After walking to a local shop on the main road neighbouring her village, she was forcibly picked up by two men. While one of them was raping her in the bushes, the other watched out. After some time, she managed to free herself and run away, hiding under a bridge in cold dirty water for several hours. When she returned home in the morning, the family was too afraid to go to the police, but activist Mangla Parsad, 34, from PVCHR, convinced the family to take the right action. The police initially insulted and threatened the family for bringing the facts up, but filed the official case (FIR) nevertheless. The rape was not mentioned in the file due to an inaccurate and superficial medical record that did not, in fact, mention it. Because of social shame facing by victims of rape in India, the family agreed to wed Neelam to an older man, with help of an agent. After the marriage, her husband raped her again for a whole month before she decided to return home with her family. Neelam’s father works in the metal industry in Mumbai and manages to send around 2-3000 INR every month. He only visits the family once in a year. Neelam goes to school and she is studying in 11th Class Standard. She is interested in doing BA in Arts after completing her high school 12th final year.

  • Young spectators are taking part to the final moments on stage of the 'Palestine - The Album', a music collection recorded by many different artists in the Islamic Hip Hop scene in London, England, on Saturday, Jan. 6, 2007.  Islamic Hip Hop artists like the duo 'Blind Alphabetz', from London, feel more than ever the need to say what they think aloud. In the music industry the backlash of a disputable Western foreign policy towards Islamic countries and its people is strong. The number of artists in the European Union and the US taking this into consideration and addressing the current social and political problems within their lyrics is growing rapidly and fostering awareness for Muslim and others alike.

  • Zil, 23, from Poland, (right) is playing records at a party in the Ingram Avenue mansion, on Saturday, Oct. 6, 2007, in Hampstead, London, England, while a couple of ravers are preparing lines of the drug speed on his right. The 22-room mansion was last sold for UK£ 3.9M in 2002 and is now awaiting planning permissions to be demolished. Two new houses will soon be taking its place. Million Dollar Squatters is a documentary project in the lives of a peculiar group of squatters residing in three multi-million mansions in one of the classiest residential neighbourhoods of London, Hampstead Garden. The squatters' enthusiasm, their constant efforts to look after what has become their home, their ingenuity and adventurous spirit have all inspired me throughout the days and nights spent at their side. Between the fantasy world of exclusive Britain and the reality of squatting in London, I have been a witness to their unique story. While more than 100.000 properties in London still lay empty to this day, squatting provides a valid, and lawful alternative to paying Europe's most expensive rent prices, as well as offering the challenge of an adventurous lifestyle in the capital.
