Abduction: A Short Story

Kidnapper, Jesse Dimmick, sues hostages for breach of contract. In our research we will discuss the contract that caused the arrest, the consequences, and the reason behind the kidnapper suing the hostages.

There have been over 60,000 reported abductions worldwide. In most cases, the victims are returned but don’t remember a thing. And in some, the victims are lost forever. The story I’m about to tell you is one of the most bizarre ones ever recorded. So bizarre that it took more than ten years to be able

“A third method used by traffickers is kidnapping. Those approached to work in the sex industry but who are unwilling to leave their country of origin may be kidnapped.” (Hodge)

In today’s day and age human trafficking is a serious problem that is only getting worse as we become more technologically advanced. It is easy to transport human beings across the border, on ships, and into foreign countries. Women, children, and even men are the victims of these individuals. These poor souls stolen for the sex trade or for physical labor as a slave in modern world. As our enemies become more sophisticated in their evil craft, so must our law enforcement and investigation agencies. In order to stay up to par with the enemy these organizations make sure they stay up to date with the most advanced programs, tools, and systems in order to not only catch those responsible for mayhem, but to give a sense of justice to those who were wronged in the first place. We begin with a history of what human trafficking is, some current cases that were followed by the world, and way we fight the enemy and counteract their form of terrorism.

After the released from abduction, it is almost as hard to re-inter the world as it was being a victim. Survivors are faced with the media, the excess freedom and the added stress of “getting back to normal”. Families need to give emotional support,

One of the brave survivors was Mr. Mohamed Farag Bashmilah. In 2003 Mr. Bashmilah flew from Indonesia to Jordan to visit his sick mother. Upon arrival in Amman Jordan, Mohamed’s passport was seized. The officials questioned his passport, not believing that he had gotten it replaced. He was told to visit the Jordanian GID, or General Intelligence Department. Upon revealing he had visited Afghanistan three years ago, the Jordanian intelligence department placed him under arrest. For the next four nights and five days, he was tortured by

An abduction therapist, Budd Hopkins was interviewed by Lewis Beale. Hopkins created a support group for other people who've been abducted by aliens. Hopkins has never been abducted, but was able to identify more than four hundred people that were possible abductees. Abduction is a disturbing subject for some; accordingly names have been altered hoping things would

The negotiation for the release of Bowe Bergdahl in 2014 is the subject of my review. Bergdahl was the last United States (U.S) prisoner-of-war from the war in Afghanistan captured in 2009 by the Haqqani network, an ally of the Taliban terrorist group (Wallbank and Ratnam 2014). Bergdahl was taken after leaving his Army post and held by his captives in Pakistan for five years (CBS NEWS). According to reports, Bergdahl left his post as a result of becoming disillusioned with the war effort following the death of a fellow soldier; leaving many, including some members of congress, to consider him as a deserter (Capehart 2014).

Crimes Against Persons can be violently invasive against someone’s will, especially with Kidnapping. In the following discussion, we will see how Common Law and Missouri Statutes define Kidnapping and compare how it has changed over the years. Afterwards, we will discuss reasons for this change and show how existing kidnapping laws should address drug and sex traffickers.

On July 27, 2002 a fifteen year old Canadian citizen Omar Khadr was captured by US forces in Afghanistan. Khadr was captured for the murder of unarmed medic Christopher Speer. The US had held Khadr for a period of ten years (from 2002- 2012). During this time, Canada did not fulfill its obligation to protect Omar Khadr and his rights. Canada failed to protect Khadr and his rights during three instances: Firstly, during the rough interrogation that involved various types of torture Canada did not speak up for Khadr nor did they fight for his rights. Secondly, Canada did not request for the right of Extradition when Khadr was captured, instead letting the US hold him for ten years. Lastly, Canada assisted the unfair prosecution of Khadr while

In the 21st century, human rights have come to the forefront of Canada’s international policy issues, with peacekeeping initiatives being sent around the globe. These human rights initiatives are being met with wholly support from the rest of the world, as Canada is regarded “as a beacon for human rights in this troubled world” (Mcleod). With this in mind, it is perplexing that a man whose rights were egregiously violated by both the Canadian and American governments has met such fierce public opposition to a monetary settlement. Omar Khadr was a mere fifteen years of age when he was accused of throwing a grenade, killing U.S. Army Sergeant Christopher Speer after the troop that Sgt. Speer was with attacked an Al-Qaeda compound (Kay). Subsequently,

Atif Rafay and Sebastian Burns, two young Vancouverites charged with the brutal Triple Homicide of the Rafay family, after 10 years at large, were put behind American bars in 2003. Perhaps recognized as one of the most controversial yet defining cases in the history of Canadian law, United States vs. Burns, is noted for its intriguing story, its subsequent battle over extradition and its controversial use of evidence. Essentially, from a Canadian perspective, this benchmark case challenged the fundamental rights of Canadians embedded deep within our Constitution, and set a distinct precedent in handling extraditions.

While many people may have strong feelings about what to do about terrorist regimes they do not know or understand what is currently being done. One of those such things is extraordinary rendition. A process that when successful can lead to valuable information that saves lives but when it fails can result in the torture of innocent bystanders. It is a process which creates a discussion about torture on a global scale and the morality of it. It is a debate between morality and safety that is not as black and white spectators might perceive. It is also an act which causes global powers to rethink they way they perceive each other and their actions.

Imagine being 6 or 7 years old and being ripped from your mothers grip as some stranger takes you to a different unfamilar place. There are two major types of kidnapping stranger and parental. Today every 40 seconds in the

This actually showed that people took abduction as a source of wealth. The woman reported the conversation to her husband who advised that they report the incident at the local police station. This took her about two days. She
