National Public Radio (NPR) news analyst Juan Williams, who is black, has been fired after saying that although he is not a bigot and has written books on civil rights movement, he "get worried" and "nervous" at seeing people on the same plane as him that "identifying themselves first and foremost as Muslims" by wearing "Muslim garb". The comments were made on Fox News Channel's "The O'Reilly Factor" to host Bill O'Reilly. NPR's reason for firing Williams was that the comments were "inconsistent with our editorial standards and practices, and undermined his credibility as a news analyst with NPR."

Video shows barbaric torture of Black Papuans by Indonesian occupiers in West Papua where genocide has already killed a fifth of the population
The Asian Human Rights Commission (AHRC) has made public a video it received showing the recent torture of Black Melanesian West Papuans by Indonesian soldiers in the Tingginambut area near Puncak Jaya in West Papua. The video shows soldiers kicking the head Papuans sitting on grass, slapping and threatening one with a knife to the face and throat, and stepping on the chest of a tied up naked man lying on the ground before burning his genitals with a burning stick while he screams.
West Papua has been under a genocidal Indonesian occupation since 1963, when the Dutch left. Over 100,000 or a fifth of the population has been killed by military action since then. Journalists, human right workers and academics are barred from traveling there. Although the area is rich in resources, the people there live in poverty under brutal repression where peaceful expression of opinion, rallies or raising pro-independence flags results in long prison sentences.
The torture video can be viewed here at this link.
