Carla Bruni branded 'prostitute' by Iran after she campaigns for woman threatened with stoning
Carla Bruni-Sarkozy has been branded a ‘prostitute’ by Iran after she publicly attacked the country for threatening to stone a woman to death.
France’s First Lady is part of a campaign to save the life of Sakineh Mohammadi-Ashtiani, a 43-year-old mother of two.
She is accused of cheating on her husband and then helping to kill him, and is now facing capital punishment for her crimes.
Carla Bruni-Sarkozy, who became President Nicolas Sarkozy¿s third wife two years ago, has signed a petition calling for Sakineh¿s release

Ms Bruni-Sarkozy, who became President Nicolas Sarkozy’s third wife two years ago, has signed a petition calling for Sakineh’s release.
Last week the former supermodel said: ‘I just can’t see what good could
come out of this macabre ceremony, whatever the judicial reasons put
forward to justify it.’
Addressing Sakineh directly in an open letter, Ms Bruni-Sarkozy wrote: ‘Why shed your blood and deprive your children of their mother? Because you have lived, because you have loved, because you’re a woman, and because you’re an Iranian? Everything within me refuses to accept this.’
But Kayhan (which means ‘Universe’ in English), the Iranian daily newspaper which acts as a mouthpiece for the country’s ultra conservative Islamic regime, has now accused 42-year-old Ms Bruni-Sarkozy of being a hypocrite.
An editorial in the paper points to her chequered love life, which has included numerous relationships with high-profile celebrities.
Entitled ‘French prostitutes join the human rights protest,’ the article
singles out Ms Bruni-Sarkozy and Isabelle Adjani, the French actress and
friend of the First Lady who is also calling for Sakineh’s release.
Kayhan aims to ‘defend the ideology of the Islamic Revolution’ and is directly under the supervision of President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad’s government.
Iranian state television also attacked Ms Bruni-Sarkozy for her support for Sakineh, saying she was using it to try and justify her own immorality.
The Elysee Palace had no formal reaction to the slurs in the Iranian media, but an insider said Ms Bruni-Sarkozy was ‘deeply shocked’ by the personal attack.

One in 10 UK brothel workers trafficked
Almost 10 per cent of women working in brothels in England and Wales are migrants who are victims of human trafficking and come mainly from Asia, police said today.
A report by the Association of Chief Police Officers (ACPO) into the sexual exploitation of foreign nationals found that 17,000 of the 30,000 women who worked in brothels or other similar premises were migrants
Of these, 2,600 were deemed to have been trafficked, with 2,200 originally from Asia, mainly China. A further 9,600 women were considered to be vulnerable and who might be further victims of trafficking.
The “Setting the Record” report was the result of a year-long study titled Project Acumen, commissioned by ACPO to discover the true extent of trafficking in “off-street prostitution.”
“It provides us with a more sophisticated and nuanced understanding of how migrant women are involved in prostitution — how they are influenced, controlled, coerced, exploited and trafficked,” said Deputy Chief Constable Chris Eyre.
The government said that in order to tackle the issue it was important they had a better understanding of the problem.
“Human trafficking is a brutal form of organised crime where people are traded as commodities and exploited for profit by criminal gangs,” said Immigration Minister Damian Green
“Having any number of people trafficked into the UK is unacceptable, therefore it is vital that we use Acumen to re-focus our efforts both at targeting the criminal gangs that trade in this human misery and in helping victims escape and recover from their ordeal.”

French footballer Franck Ribery facing three years in jail for underage prostitute offence
Questioning: French football star Franck Ribery, right, arrives at a Paris police station for questioning today
To be Franck: Despite the scandal, Ribery was called up for the French national team for the World Cup
French midfielder Franck Ribery is facing up to three years in prison after being charged with soliciting an underage prostitute for sex.
Karim Benzema, a fellow French national team player, was waiting to hear if officers investigating the case would charge him as well.
The pair were earlier held for questioning by police as part of an investigation into an alleged prostitution ring.
Under age: Zahia Dehar, now 18, has told vice squad officers that Ribery flew her to Munich to celebrate his birthday
Break: Ribery on holiday last week in Spain, pictured with his wife, Wahiba, and one of his two daughters
Inquiry: Munich forward Ribery could face up to three years in prison and a £40,000 fine if found guilty of paying to have sex with a minor
They were taken in by a special prostitution brigade in Paris at the request of an investigating magistrate.
The inquiry became public this year after a young woman claimed that several football players on France's national team paid to have sex with her when she was 16.
Zahia Dehar said the players were not aware of her age when they had sex with her.
Prostitution is legal in France, but prostitutes must be over 18 years old, and clients are liable if they are not.
Munich forward Ribery, 27, could face up to three years in prison and a £40,000 fine if found guilty of paying to have sex with a minor.
'It is an intentional offence, he would have to know her age, which wasn't the case,' said Ribery's lawyer, Sophie Bottai.
'She would have to look minor, which wasn't the case, she would have to tell him she was minor, which wasn't the case, since all over the press she claimed that she was adult and that she was more then 20 years old.'
Dehar said she had been paid for sex since the age of 16 when she began partying in Paris.
She claimed she met Benzema at a nightclub and he bought her services, and alleged that Lyon and France forward Sidney Govou had, too.
She told Paris Match magazine that Ribery flew her to a hotel in Germany for the night as a birthday present to himself.
Dehar, who was 17 at the time, told the magazine: ‘He made reservations at a luxury hotel in Munich. We had sex and he paid me. I was a lovely little present, wasn't I?'
Despite the scandal, Ribery was called up to the national team for the World Cup in South Africa, where France did not advance past the first round following a string of poor performances.
Benzema was left off the squad, with then-coach Raymond Domenech saying it was because of his unimpressive season.
Dehar had written a letter to Domenech asking him not to take the case into account before announcing his squad for the World Cup.
Following the scandal, Ribery said: 'It hurt my family, above all those close to me. That’s all I want to say.’
However, Ribery's childhood sweetheart Wahiba, who he converted to Islam for in order to marry, has clearly decided to stand by her husband after the scandal.
The family put on a united front on holiday in Formentera, Spain recently.

This combination of undated photos released by the Milwaukee Police Department via the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel shows five victims from what Milwaukee police say is a serial killer that has been killing for more than two decades. From left to right are: Tanya L. Miller, 19, found on Oct. 11, 1986; Deborah L. Harris, 31, found on Oct. 10, 1986; Sheila Farrior, 37, found on June 27, 1995; Joyce Ann Mims, found on June 20, 1997; Quithreaun C. Stokes, found on April 27, 2007.

List of 7 victims in a serial killing , caught by DNA evidence of shoe leather and science helped the investigation.
MILWAUKEE — Authorities on Monday charged a 49-year-old man suspected in the killings of as many as nine women over 21 years in Milwaukee, officials announced at an evening news conference.
Walter E. Ellis was charged Monday with two counts of first-degree intentional homicide in the deaths of Joyce Mims, 41, and Ouithreaun Stokes, 28, who were strangled a decade apart.
He was arrested around noon Saturday at a motel in Franklin Milwaukee Police Chief Edward A. Flynn said.
"This search was about shoe leather and science," Flynn said Monday evening.
Ellis’ DNA has been found on at least nine females killed between 1986 and 2007, according to the criminal complaint. That is two more than had been previously stated by authorities.
Police officials have said they think someone else killed one of those victims, Jessica Payne, a white 16-year-old runaway whose throat was slashed. The other victims, all prostitutes and African-American, were strangled.
Police said Monday that investigators matched Walter E. Ellis, 49, with DNA found on each of the bodies of the nine women killed from 1986 to 2007. Police used a search warrant Friday to obtain a DNA sample from Ellis' home. He was arrested Saturday in the Milwaukee suburb of Franklin.
"This case was solved with shoe leather and science," Police Chief Edward A. Flynn said at a news conference. "Continuing advances in DNA technology have enabled us to link these homicide cases, and it was good work pursuing numerous leads that led to the arrest of the suspect."
Flynn said the Milwaukee Police Department's Homicide Task Force Cold Case Unit poured through evidence that included more than 700 names contained in the nine homicide files, 15,000 sexual assault investigations spanning 23 years and 6,000 prostitution-related cases. They searched the state DNA databank of 125,000 people and a national databank of 6 million people.
Ellis has been charged with two counts of first-degree intentional homicide, said Milwaukee County District Attorney John Chisholm. More charges are expected.
