Ebola Update !!! Villagers Go on Hunger Strike In Guinea

 Hunger strike has begun in Guinea as part of protests against the presence of the country’s military in Wome Village. 20 leaders from the village have set up camp in front of the country’s parliament since the beginning of the strike.
The military occupied the village after eight volunteers who were raising awareness about Ebola were killed by members of the community in September.
However, the security personnel have been accused of human rights abuses which have caused 6,000 people to flee their homes. The military has not issued an official response to the accusations.
The first case of Ebola in the current outbreak was recorded in Guinea in March 2014.

US nurse sues after being forced into quarantine in New Jersey

A US nurse who works for Doctors Without Borders, has hired a civil rights lawyer to sue after she was forced into quarantine on returning to the US from caring for Ebola victims in Sierra Leone.

The US Govt recently started a mandatory 21-day quarantine order for all health workers who arrived back in the US via airports in New York, New Jersey and Chicago, to help stop the
spread of Ebola.

Kaci Hickox,  who was the first
person to be placed into the 21 day period of isolation, said she was treated like a 'criminal' after risking her life to volunteer in an Ebola- stricken country. Her lawyer said Kaci's human
rights were abused when she was sent to hospital in a protective suit after arriving at New Jersey's Newark Airport.

The mandatory quarantine began after a doctor, Craig Spencer who had returned from treating Ebola patients in Guinea tested positive for the virus after spending five days mixing with the
public without realizing he had the disease.

Man Jailed For Tattooing 3 Year Old Newphew

A New Mexico man has been sentenced to six months in federal prison for using homemade instruments to tattoo the letter "I" on the arm of his 3-year-old nephew.
Federal prosecutors say 29-year-old Cruz Tenorio of Kewa Pueblo was sentenced Tuesday. He must serve six months in a half-way house when
he's released from prison.
Tenorio must also pay restitution. Prosecutors say that will ensure the child has access to any needed medical or psychological services,
including the removal of the tattoo. Tenorio pleaded guilty in March to child abuse. The charge stemmed from 2011, when authorities say he tattooed his nephew's arm using rudimentary and unsterilized tools.

Prosecutors say Tenorio had no formal training and he took no precautions to prevent possible infection.
