= = = Ghezel Hesar prison = = =

Ghezel Hesar prison is the largest state prison in Iran. As of 2011 it was holding about 20,000 prisoners, of which 13,000 were held on drug-related charges - said to be four times its planned capacity. It is located in Ghezel Hesar, city of Karaj, 20 km northwest of the Iranian capital Tehran (there are two other prisons around Karaj: Rajai Shahr prison and the Central Prison at Karaj).

The Ghezel Hesar prison is infamous for its conditions. In March 2011 it made headlines when, according to official reports, 14 people were killed and 33 wounded during a prison revolt. The actual number of victims may have been higher. Former prisoners report torture and physical abuse by the staff, catastrophic hygiene conditions and a lack of medical care. There are reports that clashes inside Karaj Ghezel Hesar Prison began when some prisoners protested against the execution of dozens of other prisoners. 150 people are said to have been suffering serious injuries and several dozens to have been killed. Sources close to the government have announced that 47 people have been killed or injured in this incident yet this number is dramatically different from what similar reports from independent sources indicate.

May 2015 has seen mass executions of prisoners: between May 6 and June 10, 2015, at least 77 inmates, all charged with drug offences, were executed in Ghezelhesar prison. The execution wave started after prisoners had gathered in the prison's yard to ask Ali Khamenei for forgiveness.

Justin Hopson is a retired New Jersey State Trooper and award-winning author of "Breaking the Blue Wall: One Man's War Against Police Corruption." As a trooper, Justin Hopson investigated fatal accidents, homicides, suicides, sexual assault, armed robbery, narcotics, and spearheaded the missing person(s) case of Karen Zendrosky (#C02085-393). Trooper Hopson was selected to the NJSP State Governmental Security Bureau where he was responsible for the security operations for the Dept. of Education, Dept. Environmental Protection, Dept. of Health and Human Services, Dept. of Agriculture, Dept. of Taxation, and the supervision of 75 state proprietary security guards. While working with the NJ State Police, Justin Hopson witnessed an unlawful arrest and false charges of a woman made by a fellow trooper. Consequently, Hopson refused to testify in court supporting the arrest and was then targeted by a rogue group of troopers known as the Lords of Discipline or "LOD." The LOD bullied and hazed fellow troopers for decades until Justin Hopson blew the whistle. Hopson brought tangible evidence and a written chronology of events that occurred to internal affairs and the attorney general's office...which sparked the largest internal investigation in state police history and high profile federal case (Hopson v State of New Jersey #1:03-CV-5817). In October 2007, Trooper Hopson was awarded a $400,000 settlement. "ABC News", "The New York Times", "The Philadelphia Inquirer", "The Star-Ledger", "20/20", and other media outlets have interviewed and featured Justin Hopson concerning police corruption. "I was an ordinary cop with an extraordinary cause," says Trooper Hopson.

After retiring from the New Jersey State Police, Justin Hopson founded a private investigative firm in South Carolina. As a private eye, Justin Hopson specializes in both civil and criminal investigations. Investigations such as skip tracing, insurance fraud, marital infidelity, dram shop law, and corruption are his primary cases. Justin Hopson also led the high-profile investigation into the murder of James Belli (Case No. 2:10-cv-02356-RMG). He is a member of the South Carolina Association for Legal Investigators (SCALI) and is a concealed weapons permit holder. SCALI has since selected and appointed Mr. Hopson to its Ethics Committee and invited him as a keynote speaker at its annual conference. In 2013, Mr. Hopson was selected and appointed by Governor, Nikki Haley, to a South Carolina State Advisory Committee. That same year, Justin Hopson was interviewed on ABC News 20/20 and his book, ""Breaking the Blue Wall"" climbed to #14 on Amazon's true crime ranking.

Justin Hopson, Edward Snowden, Deep Throat, and Jeffrey Wigand were featured in the textbook, "Whistle-Blowers: Exposing Crime and Corruption" which was published by Lerner Publishing Group in 2015. Justin Hopson has book signing events and speaks to universities, business conferences, media venues, and corporations nationwide. In 2018, Mr. Hopson, authored the nonfiction book, "IF the Fist Lady Hired Me...A Private Eye's Tell-All on Cheating in America." His provocative book takes readers behind the lens of a surveillance camera and untangles the web of deception cast by America's 45th President as well as other real-life cases of infidelity. "Cheating IS the kiss of death to marriage and monogamous relationships," says Hopson, who has investigated over 100 divorce cases. High-profile lawyer, Elizabeth Lee Beck, who deposed Donald Trump in 2011 said Hopson's book was "...my literary entry into the world of private surveillance, divorces, and literally, sex, lies, and videotapes." Most notably, "IF the First Lady Hired Me..." is the first book ever written to a First Lady of the United States (FLOTUS) and made national headlines in 2018.<ref>

= = = 1899 Edinburgh South by-election = = =

The Edinburgh South by-election, 1899 was a parliamentary by-election held for the House of Commons constituency of Edinburgh South in Scotland on 19 June 1899.

The by-election was caused by the death of the sitting Liberal Unionist MP, Robert Cox on 2 June 1899. Cox had held the seat since the 1895 general election when he had narrowly defeated the sitting Liberal MP Herbert Paul.

The Unionist Association of South Edinburgh held an executive meeting on 7 June to consider their choice of candidate. They provisionally decided to recommend the adoption of Major General Andrew Wauchope but they agreed not to take any formal steps in the selection until after the funeral of Mr Cox. At the time of the by-election Wauchope was aged 52 and had been an officer in the Black Watch since 1865, having been promoted to major general in November 1898 . Politically a staunch Tory, he had previously contested the Midlothian or Edinburghshire constituency at the 1892 general election coming within 690 votes of unseating Mr Gladstone.

The Liberals chose 39-year-old Arthur Dewar, a barrister and member of the Scotch whisky family John Dewar & Sons.

It was clearly the intention of the government to get this by-election over and done with quickly as the writ for the election was issued in Parliament on 9 June, just one week after Cox’s death and election day was set for 19 June, giving the candidates less than two weeks campaigning time.

Dewar had opened the new premises of the South Morningside Liberal Club on 10 June and had taken the opportunity to make a short address. He appears to have accused Wauchope of being a Tory, presumably a reference to the fact that the Unionist mantle had passed from the Liberal Unionists to the Conservatives in Edinburgh South, perhaps judging that this would drive some former Liberal Unionist voters back to the Liberal fold, perhaps also appealing for working-class votes in recalling Wauchope’s stance in 1892 when he refused to support the Eight Hours Bill proposing the restriction of the working day for miners. Wauchope spoke on the same day, in the evening, at the Edinburgh Literary Institute. He responded by saying there was no disgrace in being a Tory. On social issues, he added that much had been done for the working man by the Tories and if returned as MP he would work as hard for the working man as anyone calling himself a Liberal. Dewar renewed this attack on the state of the Unionist coalition later in the campaign, again alluding publicly to Wauchope’s devout Toryism, and arguing that Liberal Unionism was now dead in the constituency. Nonetheless, Wauchope did receive a letter of recommendation from Joseph Chamberlain, the leading Liberal Unionist and at that time Colonial Secretary urging all Liberal Unionists in the constituency to vote for him.

Dewar, it was reported, devoted most of his limited campaigning time to meeting workmen. Apart from social questions he also spoke in favour of the taxation of ground values and for the idea of Home Rule All Round, moves towards devolution or elements of self-governance to all parts of the United Kingdom, although he was known to support Gladstone on his policy on all out Irish Home Rule. Dewar also spoke in favour of the disestablishment of the Anglican Church.

Wauchope was now focusing on foreign policy and the efforts of the government to promote peace. He also received the support of various Protestant church groups who were concerned about the religious implications of Home Rule in Ireland and aspects of Britain's relationship with the Vatican.

Dewar gained the seat for the Liberals with a majority of 831 votes. A separate by-election in the neighbouring seat of Edinburgh East which took place a few days later also resulted in a lower share of the vote for the Liberal Unionists. Despite this apparent trend however Dewar lost the seat to a Liberal Unionist rival, albeit narrowly, at the general election of 1900 when there was also a modest revival in the Liberal Unionist vote in Edinburgh East. He then won it back in 1906, holding it in January 1910 before resigning from Parliament latre that year upon appointment as a judge.

The result of the by-election was not therefore a reliable pointer to the outcome of the next general election, as no doubt Edinburgh Liberals hoped – although the political situation would be transformed by the time of the 1900 Khaki election as a result of the country’s involvement in the Boer War and the depiction of many Liberal candidates as pro-Boer and unpatriotic.

As to Major-general Wauchope, he did not get the chance to stand for Parliament again as he was killed in action on 11 December 1899 during an engagement at Magersfontein in the Boer War and was buried at Modder River in South Africa.

= = = Soltau-Lüneburg Training Area = = =

The Soltau-Lüneburg Training Area (SLTA) was a British and Canadian military training area in North Germany from 1963 to 1994. It was governed by the Soltau-Lüneburg Agreement (, SLA) between the Federal Republic of Germany, the United Kingdom and Canada. The area was located in the Lüneburg Heath in the state of Lower Saxony and was used particularly by tanks and other armoured vehicles.

In spite of the establishment of the Bergen Training Area in 1935 and the two training areas in Munster (1893 and 1916), the protected areas of the Lüneburg Heath Nature Reserve were initially out-of-bounds for military purposes. During the Second World War, however, German military installations were built here, including a "Luftwaffe" observation post on the Wilseder Berg, a satellite hospital for the city of Hamburg in Wintermoor and a military airfield near Reinsehlen.

After the Second World War, Canadian forces and units of the British Army of the Rhine conducted military exercises on the Lüneburg Heath from 1945 as part of their occupation rights. There was initially no defined training area. The site of the former German military airfield became Reinsehlen Camp and was used continuously by British armoured units from 1950. In the early years, the occupying forces continually extended their exercise area until they reached as far as the Wilseder Berg, but they pulled back again in the late 1940s. From 1948 they no longer exercised all year round, but restricted training to eight months of the year.

The president of the Nature Reserve Society ("Verein Naturschutzpark") or VNP, Alfred Toepfer, fought for the preservation of the reserves, but the British commander-in-chief only offered farmland and grassland areas that were desperately needed to feed the population.

In the wake of the integration of West Germany into the West, the country joined NATO in 1955, whereupon the occupation statute ceased to operate. The Paris Peace Treaties contained a new regulation for the presence of foreign troops in West Germany, which henceforth became known as "Sending States' Forces", stationed in Germany to help defend the country against possible invasion by the Soviet-controlled Warsaw Pact. In 1956 the Canadians largely stopped exercising in this area. That year the British withdrew from an area of 600 hectares near Haverbeck, after major protests by the locals.

On 3 August 1959 the Federal Republic of Germany, Canada and the United Kingdom signed a special agreement in Bonn permitting exercises in the area of Soltau-Lüneburg in order to be able to train to defend Germany in the event of attack during the Cold War. The agreement was included in Article 19 of the NATO Status of Forces Agreement (SOFA). Due to its protracted ratification, the law was not published in the statute book until 1961 and it went into force on 1 July 1963 as the Soltau-Lüneburg Agreement ("Soltau-Lüneburg-Abkommen"). In 1965 a Standing Committee for the Soltau-Lüneburg Agreement ("Ständiger Ausschuss für das Soltau-Lüneburg-Abkommen") was formed. It handled complaints, strove to balance the interests of different parties and coordinated civilian and military issues.

The agreement permitted stationed troops to conduct exercises all-year-round within the specified area. Villages and farmsteads were not to be used as military objectives and armoured vehicles could not move on Sundays or public holidays.

The Soltau-Lüneburg Agreement designated an area, 40 km long and 10 km wide, between the towns of Soltau and Lüneburg, with an area of about 34,500 hectares, in which some 26,000 people lived. The federal government rented about 12% of the area, of which the stationed forces were given about 4,600 hectares as red areas for their continuous and unrestricted use. 3,700 hectares of red area belonged to the present-day county of Heidekreis, the remaining 900 ha to the county of Lüneburg. Before the agreement the military had been using 48,000 hectares for training purposes. The red areas were set aside purely for the stationed troops, the Bundeswehr were not permitted to exercise on them.

Around 1,800 landowners were required, under the agreement, to make their property available for military purposes. With over 1,600 hectares, the Nature Reserve Society was one of the landowners affected and they refused to accept the Soltau-Lüneburg Agreement from the outset, although their opposition came to nothing. Another 1,600 hectares belonged to private landowners. In 1970, several landowners were allowed to return their estates to agricultural use. In the mid-1970s, the VNP unsuccessfully sued, citing the unconstitutionality of the agreement before the county court in Lüneburg.

As a result of armoured vehicle training, the heathland of the red areas increasingly resembled a desert. The areas were not, however, placed out-of-bounds like a normal military training area and the public could enter them. In a few cases there were accidents as a result of visitors tampering with training munitions. No live firing was permitted in the area, however.

During the 1970s, an average of 1,500 armoured vehicles and 30,000 soldiers exercised in the training area each year under the terms of the agreement. As a result, traffic on the local roads was heavy due to troop movements and there was an increased risk of accidents. The local population had to put up with noise, dust and vibration. In addition, the harvests were sometimes affected and roads damaged by the movement of heavy military loads. However, significant compensation for the damage caused was regularly paid by both the British and German governments in accordance with the SOFA.
