Ogun students tied to cross and beaten for being late.

The three - including the headteacher - were taken into custody after a police officer stumbled across the incident in south-western Ogun State.
Pictures show at least two young people - one boy and one girl - tied to a makeshift crucifix with green string.
A police spokesman described the punishment as "a barbaric act".
Local reports say they were being punished for being late.
The officer - named only as Livinus - tried to intervene, asking the school's owner to free the teenagers. When the owner of the school in Ayetoro, 145km (90 miles) north-west of Lagos, refused, the officer decided to take action - only to be forced back.
"When I tried to untie the pupils, the proprietor and his teachers beat me up," he told Nigerian newspaper Punch. "Before I returned from picking handcuffs from my car, they had grabbed a friend who was with me... and beaten him up with a horsewhip."
The suspects were eventually arrested after back-up arrived.
Ogun State police spokesman Abimbola Oyeyemi confirmed to the BBC the principal, owner and another teacher were arrested and are likely to be charged.
He added: "The act is no longer a corrective measure, it is a barbaric act, it is not acceptable and it will not be tolerated."

General strike turns into violence as two protesters were killed!!!

For more than two years, Venezuela has struggled with a massive economic collapse that has triggered acute food shortages, a lack of medical care and rampant inflation. NPR's Planet Money calls the disaster, caused by government decisions and triggered by a drop in oil prices, an "economic horror story." A political crisis soon followed. Protesters called for the resignation of Maduro, who is now deeply unpopular. But instead of stepping down, Maduro accumulated more and more power. Empty streets, makeshift barricades, burning tires, signs scrawled with "No to dictatorship": Protests continue on the streets of Venezuela as a 24-hour general strike takes hold, the latest development in an ongoing political and economic crisis. Some citizens are trying to go to work despite the shutdown of public transportation; others are taking to blockaded streets in protest.
