Former first lady Madikizela-Mandela, 80, was in hospital for several weeks last year for back surgery.

Taliban Stone Afghan Woman To Death After Accusing Her Of Adultery

A 22-year-old woman has been stoned to death by a group of men identified as Taliban insurgents, after she was accused of adultery. Afghan official Abdul Hai Khateby, spokesman for the governor of central Ghor province, said the woman, identified only as Rokhshana, was thrown into a hole in the ground and stoned to death.

Khateby said Rokhshana had been accused of running away from home and committing adultery. A 30-second video appearing to show the punishment has been published online, showing a woman believed to be Rokhshana in a hole in the ground surrounded by turbaned men hurling stones at her.

She can be heard uttering phrases relating to the Muslim faith as the stones strike her. The 23-year-old man Rokhshana was eloping with was let off with only a lashing, Provincial Governor Seema Joyenda told Radio Free Europe.

She added Rokhshana had been married off by her family against her will.

“This is the first incident in the area [this year] but it will not be the last,” she said.

Rokhshana was killed on 24 October in a village about 45 kilometers (28 miles) north of Firozkoh, capital of Ghor.

The area is controlled by Taliban insurgents “who implement their own barbaric laws,” Khateby told the Associated Press.

Stoning is illegal under the Afghan constitution, though incidents are unusual but not unheard of in Afghanistan, where women are the main victims.

"And if I like them, I like them, and if I don't, I don't. It's about the person, you know what I mean? It's about who they are. It has nothing to do with age!

"There's this thing, because I dated Beau [her backing dancer Casper Smart], and he was younger, and he was the first guy I ever dated who was younger than me, but then I got labelled right away.

"For me, it isn't [about age]. If they're older, they're older. If they're younger, they're younger. It depends on whether or not I'm attracted to their spirit, their soul, their whatever... their energy."

French presidential election candidate arrested while campaigning topless

A former stripper who wants to run for the French presidential election was arrested for parading topless in the street to promote transparency.
Cindy Lee, 52, who is the candidate for the Pleasure Party in France, was handing out pamphlets and talking to voters while she was wearing just a pair of hotpants and tassels covering each nipple.

But her desire to shine a light on what she described as corruption in French politics did not go well, as she was arrested by 30 riot police officers who had mistaken her for a radical feminist activist.

The potential presidential candidate stripped down and talked to LCI surrounded by her supporters.
She said: 'We are here to demand transparency when it comes to corruption, and this outfit justifies transparency

'I advocate the well-being of the individual in society, putting people at the centre of politics.'

As well as talking to the local press, she stopped motorists to hand out her manifesto, which includes pumping money into projects to help residents enjoy a more fulfilled sex life.
Her effort to gain support was cut short just as she was getting into the groove of her campaigning when 30 riot police officers led her away.
They wrongly thought she was associated to the Femen movement, which regularly holds topless protest against the exploitation of women that invariably result in those taking part being detained.
