Peace activists Medea Benjamin and Ann Wright have been arrested in the U.S. while protesting the Iraq war, but they never dreamed that would prevent them from entering Canada.The arrests l stanley cups anded Benjamin s and Wright s names in an FBI-run database, the National Crime Information Center, which Canada also relies on to screen visitors. When the two women visited the country in August, they were told they would have to apply for criminal rehabilitation and pay $200 if they wanted to visit again. Neither did.On Wednesday, Benjamin, co-founder of the anti-war group Code Pink, and Wright, a retired Army colonel, walked into Canada at Niagara Falls to test whether they really would be denied entry because of their anti-war-related arrests. They were.Now, Benjamin and Wright are asking why the names of people arrested during peaceful protests would be included in an FBI-maintained database meant to track fugitives, potential terrorists, missing persons and violent felons. We are certainly no threat to the Canadian people, Benjamin said.Benjamin said she and Wright, who resigned as a stanley canada senior diplomat at the U.S. Embassy in Mongolia in 2003, planned to protest at the Canadian embassy in Washington on Thursday and to ask the FBI to remove the protest charges from the NCIC database.The protesters believe the inclusion of activists names in the da stanley cup tabase is a form of political intimidation of people opposed to Bush administration policies.F Kmfg Photo Gallery: Sept. 11, 2001
Chinese spacecraftTiangong-1 is tumbling out of orbit above Earth, and is expected to re-enter Earth s atmosphere uncont salomon supercross rolled this weekend, the European Space Agency said.The spacecraft will re-enter Earth s a adidas originals samba tmosphere between Saturday morning and Monday morning.Tiangong-1 was at orbit roughly 200 miles above Earth after it launched in 2011. Slight atmospheric drag causes spacecrafts to decay in their altitude. As a result, spacecrafts have toconduct regular reboost maneuvers to maintain their orbi air force 1 t, the European Space Agency said. Since December 2015, controllers on the ground have been unable to perform such maneuvers to keep it in orbit.Originally the plan was to control its re-entry to direct the craft into an unpopulated section of Earth.With no one able to control the spacecraft, it will tumble to the Earth somewhere between 43 degrees north and 43 south latitude. While that means much of the United States could be impacted by the falling spacecraft the size of a school bus, the European Space Agency projects that much, but not all, of the craft will break apart in the Earth s atmosphere. Owing to the geometry of the stations orbit, we can already exclude the possibility that any fragments will fall over any spot further north than 43潞N or further south than 43潞S, says Holger Krag, Head of ESAs Space Debris Office.The European Space Agency will be providing updates as it better projects when and where the spacecraft tumbles out of space and back to Earth.
