Teeth theft from endangered orca carcass being investigated.

A bizarre, macabre theft is being investigated in British Columbia this week, after someone stole the teeth from a dead orca. The Department of Fisheries and Oceans (DFO) is investigating the theft, and while officials couldn’t say why someone would want the teeth, whale ivory can be a hot commodity on the black market. One thing is clear, however: It is very illegal to steal those teeth. The Canadian Press reports that the body of a deceased orca was lying near a boat launch on Vancouver Island waiting to be examined by biologists. The endangered whale had been found floating offshore late last week and was moved to shore for a post-mortem investigation. It is still not clear what killed the whale, though it has been confirmed it was pregnant with a full-term calf at the time of her death. Overnight, however, someone removed several teeth and damaged several others. Her jaw and teeth were in great shape and solid,” DFO co-ordinator Paul Cottrell told the news agency. "It looks like they broke off a couple, and there were a number that were sawed off, and those were cut off right to the gum." Necropsy on killer whale J-32 reveals orca had full-term fetus. (CBC) Necropsy on killer whale J-32 reveals orca had full-term fetus. (CBC) Under Canada’s Species at Risk Act, taking teeth from an orca carcass is illegal. Section 32.2 notes: No person shall possess, collect, buy, sell or trade an individual of a wildlife species that is listed as an extirpated species, an endangered species or a threatened species, or any part or derivative of such an individual. If a person is found guilty, they could be fined as much as $250,000 and receive up to five years in prison. While it seems bizarre that someone would desecrate the body of a whale for a couple of teeth, it is not rare. There is frequently a rush, of sorts, to procure souvenirs when whales wash ashore. Whale bones and teeth are often used in scrimshaw art, a perfectly legal venture except when done on ivory taken from endangered animals. In 2010, a U.S. scrimshaw artist was convicted of smuggling endangered whale teeth to use in his art. He obtained the whale ivory through a European smuggling network. In 2011, another American man was convicted of buying and selling sperm whale teeth. He reportedly sold three teeth for between $70,000 and $120,000. In the recent British Columbia theft, it is not clear whether the incident was tied to the black market, or simple vandalism. But it has upset a lot of people. The whale carcass will be donated to the Royal B.C. Museum… albeit a few teeth short.

UN refugee agency calls for Cambodia to refrain from deporting minority hill people to Vietnam.

PHNOM PENH, Cambodia - Human rights advocacy groups on Tuesday urged the Cambodian government to allow about a dozen ethnic minority hill people from Vietnam hiding in the jungle to be interviewed about their claims for asylum. Cambodian media have been reporting that police are hunting in the country's northeast for 13 hill people — known as Montagnards — with the intention of sending them back to Vietnam. Babar Baloch, a spokesman for the U.N. High Commissioner for Refugees, said in Geneva that their involuntary repatriation without a chance to make a claim for asylum would violate Cambodia's international obligations. "The group had indicated that they wish to seek asylum in Cambodia," Baloch said in an emailed statement, adding that since creating a special refugee office in 2009, "the Cambodian government has been responsible for receiving and adjudicating asylum claims." The New York-based group Human Rights Watch made a similar plea, calling for actions to detain and forcibly return the 13 "to stop immediately." "There is no hiding the fact that Vietnam has continuously waged a systematic and pervasive campaign of discrimination and persecution against Montagnards that includes arbitrary arrests, beatings and torture, and conviction to long prison terms on trumped up charges in kangaroo courts," Phil Robertson, deputy director of the group's Asia Division, said in an emailed statement. Thousands of Montagnards fled to Cambodia after 2001, when Vietnam's communist government cracked down on protests against land confiscation and restrictions on religious freedom. Many resettled in the United States and others returned home, with all cases cleared by 2011. Vietnam's government generally distrusts the Montagnards, many of whom sided with the U.S. during the Vietnam War and attend Protestant churches not recognized by the government.

The USAF Has To Re-Paint Its Trucks Because The F-35 Can’t Fly On Warm Fuel.

After a year of several fleet-wide groundings for the F-35, the latest problem to plague the fifth-generation fighter is forcing the U.S. Air Force to revamp an entirely separate fleet to support the military’s most expensive plane yet. The F-35 can only fly on jet fuel under a certain temperature due to a range of heating issues attributed to the F-35B variant’s short takeoff and vertical landing engine. According to the USAF, the dark-green trucks that carry that fuel absorb too much heat from the sun to keep the planes in the sky. (RELATED: Entire F-35 Fleet Grounded Ahead Of July 4 Holiday) That presents a serious logistical problem for an advanced multi-role fleet expected to maintain U.S. air superiority in areas of potential conflict such as the Middle East and South Pacific — areas with no shortage of sunlight. For the time being the Air Force is addressing the issue by painting the tanker trailers of the trucks a bright reflective white to repel sunlight absorption. That presents a whole new problem for the safety of the trucks, which will be necessary to support the Joint Strike Fighter on forward deployments where large white tankers full of highly flammable fuel could make easy targets. “We painted the refuelers white to reduce the temperature of fuel being delivered to the F-35 Lightning II Joint Strike Fighter,” Senior Airman Jacob Hartman of the 56th Logistics Readiness Squadron at Luke Air Force Base in Arizona said in an Air Force news report. “The F-35 has a fuel temperature threshold and may not function properly if the fuel temperature is too high, so after collaborating with other bases and receiving waiver approval from [the Air Education Training Command], we painted the tanks white.” Luke AFB reportedly got the idea from Edwards AFB in California, where Air Force personnel first discovered the problem some time ago. “It ensures the F-35 is able to meet its sortie requirements,” Chief Master Sgt. Ralph Resch, fuels manager of the 56th LRS, said in the report. “We are taking proactive measures to mitigate any possible aircraft shutdowns due to high fuel temperatures in the future.” “This is the short-term goal to cool the fuel for the F-35; however, the long-term fix is to have parking shades for the refuelers.” The Air Force also plans to try incorporating reflective paint into the trucks’ standard green to reduce the heat absorption and maintain cover. Though the cost of the paint is $3,900 per-truck, it’s undoubtedly cheaper than another costly fix to the entire fleet, which uses the fuel as a coolant to absorb heat from the JSF’s powerful subsystems before passing into the engine.

Rights group criticizes Cambodian crackdown.

PHNOM PENH, Cambodia (AP) — Human Rights Watch criticized the Cambodian government's latest crackdown on dissent, urging foreign donors Friday to condemn an "escalating wave of abuse" against peaceful protesters. In the past week, authorities broke up a string of small protests and arrested more than a dozen people, most of whom were convicted in quick trials and sentenced to one-year prison sentences, the New York-based rights group said. "The Cambodian government's latest crackdown on peaceful protest makes a mockery of promises of democratic reform," Brad Adams, the group's Asia director said in a statement. He called the government's actions "that of a dictatorship, not a democracy." This week's protests were not directly against the government but raised issues sensitive to the ruling party of Prime Minister Hun Sen, which fared unexpectedly poorly in elections last year. Its majority narrowed in the 123-seat National Assembly, while the opposition boosted its presence of lawmakers to 55, up from 29. Hun Sen has run Cambodia since 1985 with little tolerance for opposition and a reputation for ruthlessness. On Monday, authorities arrested seven protesters outside City Hall who were victims of forced land evictions. On Tuesday, security forces arrested four more people calling for the release of those arrested the day before. All were sentenced to one-year in prison on "trumped-up charges" in trials that did not meet international standards, the statement said. Also arrested separately this week were two opposition party members, Meach Sovannara and Tep Narin, whom authorities have accused of involvement in an "insurrection" in July, when the opposition staged a protest to seek the reopening of a park used for opposition rallies. Both are being held without bail. Human Rights Watch urged international donors, which make up as much as half of Cambodia's central government budget, to "publicly condemn this escalating wave of abuse."

Cambodia hikes garment worker wages, falls short of demands.

Cambodia raised the minimum monthly wage for garment workers to $128 on Wednesday after a series of strikes and protests over pay and conditions, but the hike fell short of union demands. The 28 percent raise for employees who currently earn a minimum of $100 a month to make clothes for firms including GAP, Levi's, H&M, Puma and ZARA will take effect on 1 January, 2015, the labour ministry said. "I believe that workers will improve their living standards from previous years and that factories will be able to pay the wage," Labour Minister Ith Samheng told reporters in Phnom Penh after a meeting between government officials, unionists and factory representatives. But garment workers and trade unionists -- who have campaigned for international buyers to lift their basic wage -- said the hike was too small. "We are not satisfied with the figure yet. The increase is still low. We want at least $140 a month," Ath Thorn, president of the Coalition of Cambodian Apparel Workers Democratic Union, told AFP. Unionists and workers will meet in the coming days to decide whether to accept the increase or continue their campaign for higher wages, he added. Earlier the union had demanded a minimum monthly wage of $177 but reduced the figure after negotiations with the government and factories. Cambodia's garment sector, a key source of export earnings, has been hit by a series of strikes and protests over wages and working conditions in factories producing items for top Western brands. Disputes over wages, safety and conditions in Cambodia's lucrative garment industry are frequent and sometimes turn violent. A crackdown on striking garment workers in early January left at least four people dead. Garment worker Prum Savy, 28, who works in one of the hundreds of factories on the outskirts of the capital, told AFP she was willing to join further protests for a better wage hike. "I am happy with the increase, but this is not enough. I want more," she said. The multi-billion dollar garment industry employs about 650,000 people in Cambodia and is a key source of foreign income for the impoverished country. The kingdom earned around $5.5 billion in garment exports last year. A month after the mass strike and subsequent bloody crackdown in January, the minimum wage was increased from $95 to $100 per month. At least six union leaders face charges in connection with that strike, according to rights activists. The new monthly wage applies to textile, garment and footwear workers who will still receive benefits including an extra $10 per month for regular attendance and an extra seven dollars per month for transportation and rent, according to the labour ministry. Cambodia is one of the poorest countries in Southeast Asia, with around 20 percent of the population -- or 2.8 million people -- living on less than $1.25 per person per day, according to the World Bank.

Cambodia a Worry for Vietnamese Refugees in Australia.

As we have recently reported, Cambodia’s treatment of ethnic minority Vietnamese refugees has put the country back in the spotlight and, as Fairfax Bangkok correspondent Lindsay Murdoch has noted, Australia’s deal to send its refugees for resettlement in Cambodia is receiving more scrutiny as a result. One thing not yet reported is what might happen to Vietnamese refugees in custody here. The ethnic minority group are apparently Protestants from the Central Highlands, part of the J’Rai group who are, according to a 2009 World Bank report, among other sources, a group indigenous to Vietnam. Protestants in the Central Highlands can suffer quite high levels of repression from

provincial authorities, thanks in part to their piecemeal assistance to Americans during the war and distrust of their “illegal” home churches. Those who escaped to Cambodia allege ongoing abuse by authorities. If Cambodia repatriates them, what might the nation do to the refugees Canberra gives it? Last year there was a very steep increase in the number of Vietnamese boat arrivals to Australia, from around a hundred in 2011 to over 780 by the third quarter of 2013. It was unclear at first why they had come and groups such as the Vietnamese Community of Australia (VCA) didn’t tell me much when I was developing a piece on this story at the time, past the fact that people wanted to leave because communists are repressive. Diplomatic sources and experts later suggested they were largely young Catholic men and mostly from the one province, Nghe An, in north central Vietnam. Vietnam has the second-largest Catholic population in Southeast Asia, with some six million of its 90 million people following the faith. The Vatican and Hanoi have achieved a cautious rapprochement in recent years and religious freedom is gradually improving, although still very rocky. Nonetheless, many Catholics, thanks to black marks on their families’ histories, may be prevented from accessing education or jobs. Those whose families, for example, may have once support the U.S.-backed Catholic Diem regime of the south can still face forms of discrimination. It is also dependent on what Australian lawyer Peter Hansen, who has worked with Catholic asylum seekers before and has been in and out of Vietnam for decades, has called “ecclesiastical microcultures,” given the different Catholic groups and histories in the nation. Repression can also vary greatly between provinces and the whims of the local officials. There has been ongoing violence between Catholics and authorities in Nghe An and this, in part, explained the increase in Vietnamese boat arrivals. It was alleged last year by refugees and advocate groups that the Australian government may have allowed security officials to interview those detained in Western Australia, which terrified the detainees. This could, in fact, have been a breach of international law. The problem now may be that any Vietnamese resettled in Cambodia may be more vulnerable than most, Catholics especially. Anti-Vietnamese sentiment is an easy populist topic and one opposition politicians such as Sam Rainsy are keen to use. Ethnic Vietnamese were killed in riots this year. Prime Minister Hun Sen was essentially placed in power by Vietnam after its 1978 invasion and the two nations retain close ties. It is worth asking how safe any Vietnamese sent there for resettlement might be. Hansen told The Diplomat, “Unless they were inserted into the Vietnamese diasporic community in Phnom Penh, I think it would be disastrous.”
