West Bank Violence Escalation

TAPE_NUMBER: EF00/0102 IN_TIME: 04:00:44 - 10:19:55 LENGTH: 02:46 SOURCES: All BBC except shot 3 = HOLOCAUST EDUCATION TRUST RESTRICTIONS: BBC = No access UK/CNN/CNBC/Euronews/Internet FEED: VARIOUS (THE ABOVE TIME-CODE IS TIME-OF-DAY) SCRIPT: Russian/Eng/Nat Investigations into Latvia's state archives by an organisation which tracks suspected Nazis has revealed that the country may be quietly rehabilitating some of those who were responsible for Holocaust-related crimes. Thirty-thousand Jews were murdered in the central European country in just one act of slaughter in 1941. The latest findings were released on the eve of a two-day international conference on the Holocaust, opening on Wednesday in Stockholm, Sweden. In this forest, just outside Latvia's capital, Riga, and in the winter of 1941, a slaughter took place. Thirty-thousand Jews were herded to their deaths. These archive pictures show the victims' last moments. The Jews were forced into a pit by the local security police, the Arajs Commando, and then they were shot. Now it has been revealed that some of the murderers have been quietly rehabilitated, given extra pensions and welfare benefits. The information has been obtained by the Simon Wiesenthal centre which tracks suspected Nazis. The documents the centre has discovered tell a revealing story. SOUNDBITE: (English) "We can give you the dates when they got the rehabilitation, in some cases people applied several times and only got it recently. But the evidence is absolutely unequivocal, it's clear-cut, we have over 40 names of people convicted of terrible crimes who during the past few years were granted rehabilitation by the Latvian authorities." SUPER CAPTION: Efraim Zuroff, Simon Wiesenthal Centre The evidence was found here in Latvia's state archive. This rare access shows the extent of this collection - thousands of files, opened over decades. The archive has not allowed access to the file on Konrad Kaljis, a former Arajs commando officer who left Britain in a blaze of publicity earlier this month. But the state prosecutor in charge of the case says it's too easy to generalise about war criminals. SOUNDBITE: (Russian) "The Arajs Commando didn't only consist of executioners but also soldiers who fought against Soviet Red Army partisans. They didn't commit any war crimes." SUPER CAPTION: Janis Osis, State Prosecutor But the evidence in the Jewish documentation museum paints a different picture. And it's a matter of historical record that the commandos' leader - Victor Arajs - was jailed for war-crimes in the 1970s. This man was also convicted of war crimes and spent 10 years in Soviet labour camps. He joined the Arajs Commando voluntarily in 1942. SOUNDBITE: (Russian) "I was one of the guards when the Jews were shot, my job was just to stop trespassers. There was a special execution unit, and yes, it was a crime against humanity." SUPER CAPTION: Arnis Upmolis, former Arajs Commando This bleak place just outside Riga is the site of a former concentration camp. Inmates here died of the cold, of hunger and random killings by guards. Those guards were Arajs Commando. Now, with rehabilitation, it seems they're no longer counted as criminals. Jewish survivors come here to pay their respects, but their number dwindles by the year and they say that if education about the Holocaust dies with them their suffering will have been in vain.

TAPE_NUMBER: EF00/0038 IN_TIME: 07:18:29 - 10:16:59 // 13:14:39 LENGTH: 02:05 SOURCES: AuBC RESTRICTIONS: No access Australia/Internet FEED: VARIOUS (THE ABOVE TIME-CODE IS TIME-OF-DAY) SCRIPT: English/Nat The Australian government on Monday defended its decision not to reopen an official investigation into Nazi war crimes suspect Konrad Kalejs. The call to have the investigation reopened was prompted when newspaper photographs emerged allegedly showing Kalejs wearing the uniform of a Nazi SS auxiliary in 1942. Under increasing pressure to put Kalejs on trial or change laws so he can be deported to Latvia, the Australian government warned that if it acted without strong new evidence it could jeopardise any future prosecution. Konrad Kalejs, 68, a Latvian-born Australian citizen, went into hiding after returning to Australia last Friday rather than face deportation proceedings in Britain, where he had been living. The Nazi-hunting Simon Wiesenthal Center says Kalejs served in the notorious Arajs Kommando, a Nazi killing squad responsible for the death of 30,000 people, mostly Jews, in Latvia during World War II. He has denied the allegations. Evidence gathered by agencies including the U-S Office of Special Investigations and Australia's now disbanded war crimes unit has led to deportation proceedings in the United States, Canada and Britain. But the evidence against Kalejs has not been enough to prompt criminal charges, which require a higher standard of proof for deportation. Sydney's Daily Telegraph newspaper on Monday published a photograph from London's Mail on Sunday, which it said was taken in 1942 and shows Kalejs wearing the uniform of a Nazi SS auxiliary. Australian newspapers also printed excerpts from a Nazi propaganda newsletter dated June 5, 1942 in which Kalejs describes taking part in attacks on Soviet-held villages. John Anderson, who is Australia's acting Prime Minister while John Howard is out of the country, was unsure whether the photograph constitutes new evidence. SOUNDBITE: (English) "The point I'd make is that I don't know whether that is new evidence or not, I genuinely don't at this point time. It would surprise me if that had not been produced in the various enquiries that have gone on in the past. If it's not it will be properly considered by the responsible authorities." SUPERCAPTION: John Anderson, Acting Prime Minister of Australia Australia's foreign minister warned that if charges were laid and Kalejs acquitted, he could never be tried in Australia again and could neither be extradited on those charges. The Latvian government has said it will immediately seek Kalejs' extradition from Australia if new evidence of war crimes is uncovered. SOUNDBITE: (English) "The fact of the matter is that the file has never been closed, but there is no point pursuing something when clearly, repeatedly, the conclusion has been drawn here and internationally that there is inadequate evidence to proceed in terms of seeking a prosecution. There's no point reopening it, until you know that you are doing so on the basis of substance - new evidence as opposed to new allegations and new claims. They are different things. If the evidence is there, I have no doubt that the matter will be reactivated and moved on as expeditiously as possible. We've indicated that we will co-operate fully with the Latvians as they have another look, but they themselves in the more recent comments that I have heard have indicated that they don't necessarily have the evidence to proceed on, or new evidence to proceed on either. So, it's not a question of being sloppy on this. So I just make myself quite clear on the observation again, that those who want action, need to recognise that there has to be a difference between innuendo claims and allegations and real new evidence." SUPERCAPTION: John Anderson, Acting Prime Minister of Australia The two governments have begun talks on an extradition treaty. In his only interview since returning to Australia, Kalejs told the Special Broadcasting Service that he was an officer in the Arajs Kommando. But he denied he had ever been present when civilians were shot. Kalejs said he was a student in Latvia before being told by German generals in 1942 that he would be placed in command of a unit of Latvian soldiers. Kalejs said he discovered later that the soldiers were members of the Arajs Kommando. He said he met only briefly the Kommando's leader Viktor Arajs, who was charged in 1948 with mass killings.

Various, Kalejs being taken into court 3. Various, Kalejs being loaded into ambulance STORYLINE: Lawyers for Nazi war crime suspect Konrad Kalejs began a federal court bid on Tuesday against his extradition to Latvia where he faces genocide charges. In May, a magistrate ruled that Kalejs was eligible for surrender to Latvia to face the charges of genocide and war crimes. He is accused of being a guard at the Salaspils concentration camp near the Latvian capital, Riga, where Jews and Russian prisoners of war were executed, tortured or died of malnutrition. Kalejs denies the allegations. Jewish and human rights groups also say Kalejs was an officer in the Arajs Kommando, a Nazi-sponsored death squad responsible for the murder of some 30,000 Latvian Jews. His lawyers have appealed against the May decision on technical grounds, saying the Latvian documents requesting the extradition were not properly authenticated. They have also argued that a 1924 extradition treaty with Latvia was still in force. Under the 1924 treaty, Latvia should have supplied evidence of Kalejs' alleged crimes to establish at least a prima facie case against him. Wheeled into court in Melbourne in a stretcher accompanied by ambulance officers, the 88-year old Kalejs was excused from the proceedings until a decision is handed down. According to his lawyers, Kalejs is suffering from dementia and cancer as well as being almost deaf and legally blind. Justice Susan Kenny said Kalejs should be taken "to a more comfortable and appropriate place".

This is against the Palestinian law and international human rights laws. This step by the Hamas government in the Gaza Strip is not the first step. Prior to this, a series of procedures and arbitrary decisions have been taken by the Hamas government; like imposing veils on schoolgirls in the Gaza Strip." 12. Araj at table STORYLINE Gaza's Hamas rulers have banned women from smoking water pipes in cafes, sending plainclothes agents through popular beachside spots on Sunday to enforce the edict. Already under pressure to cover up and even barred from riding motorbikes, some of Gaza's women are grumbling at the new decree. "Everything forbidden becomes desirable," said one defiant 29-year-old who refused to go on camera. The water pipe restrictions are the latest move by the Islamic militant group to gradually enforce a strict Muslim life code on Gazans - many of whom are conservative Muslims themselves and not entirely opposed. But the secular minority feels the crunch. Many residents pile into beach cafes in the evenings to puff on water pipes well into the early hours of the morning. Islamic law does not ban women from smoking the traditional tobacco-infused pipes, but many consider it a cultural taboo. Hamas, which overran the territory three years ago, frequently mixes its strict interpretation of Islamic law with conservative Gaza tradition. Over the weekend, the two dovetailed to produce the smoking ban. Many residents are deeply sensitive to any effort by Hamas to infringe on leisure activities in the territory, which already are limited. "This is a personal freedom and water pipe is the same as tobacco. If they want to ban it, then cigarettes must be banned as well. I'm not for this decision," said Gaza resident and smoker Ashraf. A three-year-long blockade by Israel and Egypt has depressed the economy, limiting options in entertainment and practically every other facet of life available to Gaza's 1.5 (m) million people. But Hamas police spokesman Ayman Batneiji claimed the recent ban "is incompatible with the inherited habits of the Palestinian people and also meant to prevent the transfer of this habit onto future generations and children." However, some women were seen smoking hookahs on Sunday, despite the ban. Helmi Araj, Executive Director of "Hurryyat" Centre for Defence of Liberties & Civil Rights, called the ban "a dangerous decision" and "an encroachment on public freedoms." "This is against the Palestinian law and international human rights laws," he said from his office in the West Bank town of Ramallah. But many in Gaza see the water pipe as inappropriate for women because of its sexual connotation and because it looks crass to smoke, said Palestinian anthropologist Ali Qleibo. It's a sentiment shared in conservative Saudi Arabia, where both sexes are banned from smoking hookahs. It's frowned upon in Egypt, too, although women frequently smoke in trendy restaurants out of view of the general public. Women in Lebanon, Syria and Jordan openly smoke water pipes. Gaza's Hamas rulers have backed down in the past when they sense resistance to its harsh rules. A ban on men working in ladies hair salons was never enforced, and a demand that female lawyers cover their hair before they enter courtrooms was quietly rescinded. But Hamas has successfully banned women from riding motorbikes. Last year the group swooped down on moonshiners, banned foreigners from bringing alcohol into Gaza and ordered shopkeepers to take down scantly clad mannequins. Plainclothes officers frequently stop couples walking in the streets, demanding to see marriage licenses. Some residents say they have been interrogated, even beaten, on suspicion they are gay or had extramarital sex.

On Thursday, prosecutors in Riga, the Latvian capital, charged 86-year-old Konrads Kalejs, with genocide for his alleged participation in the attempted extermination of Jews in Latvia during World War II. The presentation of charges caps a nine-month investigation of Kalejs, who would be the first suspected Nazi to face trial in this former Soviet republic. The next step is for a court to issue an arrest warrant so prosecutors may request his extradition from Australia. Lativan officials said that could happen within a week. Prosecutors claim Kalejs was commander of a Nazi guard unit at Salaspils concentration camp near Riga, where scores of Jews and Russian prisoners of war were executed, tortured or died of malnutrition. Jewish and human rights groups claim Kalejs was an officer in the Arajs Kommando, a Nazi-sponsored death squad responsible for the murder of some 30-thousand Latvian Jews. On Friday Howard said he would link up with the Latvian authorities if need be. SOUNDBITE: (English) "I will facilitate the extradition application, in fact we worked very hard with the Latvian authorities to put in place an extradition treaty but the proper processes of the law will be followed.

A Nazi-hunting centre in Jerusalem has urged the U-K to prosecute or expel an alleged former officer in a Nazi death squad reportedly living in England. Konrad Kalejs, now aged 86, has remained at large since he was deported from the United States and Canada for serving as lieutenant in the Arajs Kommando - a Latvian group that killed at least 30,000 Jews, communists and Gypsies during World War II. Eighty-six year old Kalejs, is said to have arrived in Britain from his home in Australia in July 1998 after deportation from both America in 1994 and then Canada in 1997. Immigration inquiries implicated him in the running of a Nazi slave camp in his native Latvia. He's now believed to be living in this nursing home in Leicestershire. Holocaust experts urged the British authorities on Monday to prosecute or expel an alleged former officer in a Nazi death squad thought to be living in the U-K. SOUNDBITE: (English) "Konrad Kalejs served as an officer in infamous Latvian murder squad 'The Arajs Kommando'. This is a unit that murdered at least 30,000 Jews from Latvia between 1941 and 1943. He also was in charge of some of the guards at the Salaspils concentration camp, not far from Riga, Latvia. We are insisting that the British government either put him on trial in Great Britain, or expel him to a country were he can be put on trial for his crimes." SUPER CAPTION: Ephraim Zuroff, Director of Wiesenthal Centre Kalejs has denied involvement in Nazi-sponsored death squads. The chairman of the Holocaust Educational Trust, former Labour MP Lord Janner, said he would ask British Home Secretary Jack Straw to investigate the allegations against Kalejs. Lord Janner believes that if there was not enough evidence for a prosecution, the Government should follow the example of the United States and Canada and deport him. SOUNDBITE: (English) "It's one thing to be able to prove a case beyond reasonable doubt and its another to be fully satisfied yourself that this man had sufficient involvement not to want him in our country as a citizen or a neighbour. So prosecution is one option, deportation is another, but if there's not enough evidence altogether then that will be the end of it."

Low tracking shot through evidence rooms of war crimes research institution in Australia 9. Various of researchers examining documents STORYLINE: Alleged Nazi war criminal Konrad Kalejs is fighting to stay in Australia. The frail 87-year-old, who is suffering from cancer, blindness and dementia, is expected to learn on Tuesday whether he is to be extradited to Latvia to face charges of genocide and war crimes. Latvia claims Kalejs was an Arajs Commando officer in charge of border guards at a labour camp at Salaspils, near the capital of Riga. It is alleged he ordered guards to shoot escaping prisoners and that inmates were starved and kept in inhumane conditions. Some 80-thousand Latvian Jews were killed during the Nazi occupation. The Kalejs case has opened up deep wounds in Australian society as it's becoming clear that the country has been acting as a sanctuary for war criminals. Antanas Gudelis is another alleged Nazi war criminal who is said to have fled to Australia following the war. He reportedly commanded a pro-Nazi police unit in Lithuania at a time when thousands of Jews were executed. Tens of thousands of refugees arrived from Europe. It was relatively easy to slip through undetected and obtain Australian citizenship. A status which has so far proved an effective protection against extradition. Despite amassing a mountain of documents, Australia's own war crimes investigation unit was disbanded more than five years ago, having failed to gain a single conviction. But there is now a new appetite to tackle the issue. Time is clearly running out to bring Nazi war criminals to account, but there is an increasing feeling in the country that justice should be seen to be done to those guilty of such crimes in order to break the cycle.

Kalejs had been thrown out of several countries amid accusations that he was an officer in a Latvian death squad during World War II responsible for killing thousands of people, most of them Jews. As he arrived in Australia, hundreds of people turned out to demonstrate against the government's decision to allow Kalejs into the country and demanded further investigations into his alleged crimes. The arrival of Konrad Kalejs in Melbourne ignited a rage of protests for the Australian government to re-open his case. Kalejs was assisted through customs checks by airport officials in an attempt to move him off the premises quickly and avoid clashes with irate protestors. At the airport, dozens of angry Jewish students had turned out to demonstrate against what they say is the Australian government's failure carry out sufficient investigations into the allegations against Kalejs. One protester was furious that Australia's image will be tarnished by allowing Kalejs back. SOUNDBITE: (English) "We're not the British rubbish bin. We have to stand that our land has to be clean and good. We want good people in Australia, good people, not bandits, not bandits, good people." SUPER CAPTION: Vox Pop, Protester The students were undeterred by airport officials' plans to usher Kalejs away without passing through any public areas. Latvian-born Kalejs left London on Thursday, where he has lived for the past six months. He fled before the British government was able to deport him for alleged war crimes. Kalejs left Latvia for Australia after World War II and has been an Australian citizen since 1957. He stands accused of belonging to the Arajs Kommando squad responsible for the death of 30-thousand people, mostly Jews, in Latvia during the war. Kalejs says the allegations against him are lies. He was previously expelled from the United States in 1994 and Canada in 1997 in connection with the same allegations. Nazi hunters want him deported to Latvia to stand trial. Australian Immigration Minister Philip Ruddock said his government had investigated Kalejs but did not find enough evidence to charge him. Ruddock said the Australian authorities, would reopen their investigation only if new evidence came to light. SOUNDBITE: (English) "Well, I don't tell the Australian police how to carry out their functions. They have a responsibility towards the war crimes legislation that if evidence is there for it to be investigated. And the point I have made over and over again is that if people believe they have information that is of a substantial character it ought to be made available to the Australian Federal police." SUPER CAPTION: Philip Ruddock, Australian Immigration minister Earlier on Friday, about 3-hundred people rallied outside Federal Government offices in Melbourne, demanding a new investigation. The Latvian government has said it will request Kalejs' extradition if their inquiry finds proof of his guilt.

Planned protests prompted tight security measures to keep Kalejs away from public areas. Hundreds of Australian protestors are calling for their government to reopen the case against Kalejs and investigate his alleged role as a Latvian death squad member in the second World War. A rally of 3-hundred people was held outside the Federal Government's office in Melbourne on Friday as protestors called on the government to re-open the Kalejs case. The Australasian Union of Jewish Students also plans to hold a demonstration at Melbourne airport when Kalejs lands. Kalejs' imminent arrival has sparked fresh calls for a re-examination of the evidence against him and denials from the government that it's not doing enough to bring war criminals to justice. But members of the students' union say they accept Kalejs is legally entitled to return to Australia and say they will not harass him personally or at his home. Australian Immigration Minister Philip Ruddock previously investigated Kalejs but did not find enough evidence to charge him. He warned that protests or claims against Kalejs without new evidence would achieve nothing. Earlier this week, Ruddock said the Australian authorities, would reopen their investigation only if new evidence came to light. SOUNDBITE: (English) "Well, I don't tell the Australian police how to carry out their functions.

"Well, They have got to do more than just welcome Mr Kalejs back. There is now new evidence come to light since the war crimes unit was wound up and that evidence needs to be properly taken on board by the government. And it needs to give serious consideration to urging the federal police to reactivate its consideration of the matter" SUPER CAPTION: Simon Crean, Acting opposition leader Latvian-born Kalejs has held Australian citizenship since 1957. He stands accused of being a member of the Arajs Kommando squad responsible for the deaths of 30-thousand people, mostly Jews, in Latvia during World War II. In spite of his protest against the allegations 86-year-old Kalejs has been thrown out of several countries for his alleged role in mass killings. SOUNDBITE: (English) "We want to send a loud and clear message to Amanda Vanstone, Konrad Kalejs, and to the Australian community in general, that though this man may be legally entitled to enter the country, we are not happy that he is coming here. We don't find him welcome. We think a man with his past should have his past investigated." SUPER CAPTION: Voxpop, student Kalejs was deported from the United States in 1994 after U-S Justice Department investigations found evidence against him, and moved to Australia after he was expelled from Canada in 1997. He's been living in Britain for six months, but left on Thursday after British authorities launched proceedings to deport him for his alleged wartime atrocities. In a statement issued on Thursday, Latvia said it had started a criminal investigation of Kalejs and called for international help in gathering evidence. The statement said Latvian prosecutors would consider requesting Kalejs' extradition if further probes confirms his guilt.

TAPE_NUMBER: EF00/1043 IN_TIME: 09:30:05 // 12:23:44 - 15:18:03 LENGTH: 03:14 SOURCES: APTN RESTRICTIONS: FEED: VARIOUS (THE ABOVE TIME-CODE IS TIME-OF-DAY) SCRIPT: English/Nat XFA Prosecutors from seven countries compared evidence on Nazi war crimes in Latvia, particularly the Rumbula killing field, at an official meeting in the capital Riga. The main targets of the conference are 86-year-old Konrads Kalejs and 87-year-old Karlis Ozols, who are both currently living in Australia. Representatives from Britain, Canada, Germany, Israel, Russia, Australia and the U-S discussed the investigation into the suspected World War Two criminals. The old pine forest is now circled by car dealerships and littered with abandoned tires and scrap metal. Most passers-by would hardly recognize it as site of one of the worst atrocities of the Nazi era. In just two days in 1941 some 25-thousand Jews were put to death here, on the outskirts of Latvia's capital Riga, just off a busy four-lane highway to Moscow. During the 1941-1944 Nazi occupation, 90 per cent of Latvia's 90-thousand Jews perished. The Rumbula massacres stood out in their gruesome assembly line efficiency. On November 30 1941 the Nazis, including Germans and Latvians, swept into the Jewish ghetto, roused men, women and children, and forced them onto the cobblestone streets. To lull people into cooperating in their own death march, they were told they were being sent to a new camp and to pack a suitcase, according to the director of Riga's Jewish museum. The victims, many who were aware they were doomed, walked through the ghetto's barbed wire gates to Rumbula, 6 miles away. Stripped naked, they were beaten and kicked through a gauntlet, one by one, to the pits. Then each was shot in the back of the head. German SS officers bragged they'd used 25-thousand bullets at Rumbula. This was a bullet per murder, according to the Latvian-American historian Andrew Ezergailis, the leading expert on Nazi atrocities in Latvia. 59 years after, the hunt for Nazi killers is still on. At the meeting on Friday between prosecutors from seven countries, who were invited by Latvia to compare evidence on war crimes, attention was focused on the Rumbula killing field. The main targets of the conference are Konrads Kalejs and Karlis Ozols. Both reportedly were officers in the Arajs Kommando, a Nazi death squad staffed mostly by Latvians and involved in various massacres, including those at Rumbula. Kalejs and Ozols now live in Australia and have denied involvement. Latvian prosecutors have been preparing war crimes charges against Kalejs based on evidence he served as a guard at a Nazi concentration camp at Salaspils, a few miles from Rumbula. SOUNDBITE: (Latvian) "The conference itself can not influence the juridical status of Konrads Kalejs. His status will change only when he is charged. As of now, he's not charged. We asked our colleagues to provide some additional evidence on the case." SUPER CAPTION: Janis Maizitis, Prosecutor General of Latvia One purpose of the conference was to scrutinize the strength of Latvia's evidence against Kalejs and determine if it met international legal standards. SOUNDBITE: (English) "I'm just pleased to be here and impressed with the amount of work that the Latvian government has been doing on these matters and on behalf of Canada we are willing to offer complete cooperation with any materials that we can provide and so on." SUPER CAPTION: Max Walpert, Department of Justice of Canada If Kalejs or Ozols were indicted, extradited and put on trial, it would be the first time an alleged Nazi would face a Latvian court on genocide charges since the Baltic state regained independence. Jewish groups say Latvia did not do enough to honestly confront this period of its history. They demand is straightforward - Kalejs and others should be tried in court, legal technicalities or not. SOUNDBITE: (English) "We don't forget, we don't forgive. And it is good that now we speak about Kalejs and people of this kind. I can not call them people because in my mind they are not people - they're animals. If we speak about it and this person now does not feel comfortable - it is good." SUPER CAPTION: Carmela Skorik Prosecutors signaled earlier this year that they were close to indicting Kalejs based on the evidence that he served as a Nazi guard at the Salaspils concentration camp near Riga. But they later said they needed to investigate the matter further. SHOTLIST: Rumbula/Riga, Latvia - September 15, 2000 - APTN Rumbula, Latvia 1. Mid shot of sign for Rumbula car market 2.

The exact cause of death was not immediately released. Had he been extradited, Kalejs would have been the first suspected Nazi collaborator tried in Latvia since the country regained independence after the 1991 collapse of the Soviet Union. He was accused of being a guard at the Salaspils concentration camp near the Latvian capital, Riga, where Jews and Russian prisoners of war were executed, tortured or died of malnutrition. Kalejs denied the allegations. Jewish and human rights groups also say Kalejs was an officer in the Arajs Kommando, a Nazi-sponsored death squad responsible for the murder of some 30-thousand Latvian Jews. He last appeared in court on October 23, when he was wheeled in on a hospital trolley as his lawyers asked a judge to refuse Latvia's extradition request on technical grounds after a magistrate ordered in May this year that he be extradited. Repeated pleas by his lawyers to halt the extradition proceedings because of Kalejs' frail health were rejected at earlier hearings. Kalejs migrated to Australia in 1950 and took citizenship. He would have become the first Australian citizen extradited to face war crimes charges. Australian authorities said there was insufficient evidence against him to put him on trial in Australia, and Latvia only charged him under mounting international pressure. Details of Kalejs' funeral and surviving family members were not immediately available. Kalejs has a history of being hounded out of country after country for alleged war crimes. He had gone to Canada on a visitor's visa in 1994 after being deported from the United States, where he had lived for more than three decades, after being accused of being a war criminal. He was then ordered to leave Canada three years later in August 1997, accused by the Canadian government of war crimes, and headed back to Australia. He also lived in a retirement home in England for six months before Nazi hunters tracked him down and he returned once more to Australia in January 2000. Then in September 2000, prosecutors from seven countries met in the Latvian capital, Riga, to compare evidence on Nazi war crimes in Latvia, in particular the infamous killing fields of Rumbula, six miles (nine kilometres) outside Riga. Here in the space of just two days in 1941, some 25-thousand Latvian Jews were put to death in a pine forest. The site is now marked by a memorial to the victims. Kalejs and another man, 87-year-old Karlis Ozols, were the main focus of the investigation in various massacres, including Rumbula, and extradition procedures were begun against both men.

Wide of sunrise showing protester tents STORYLINE: Hundreds of protesters spent Saturday night at Bahrain's Pearl Monument roundabout after a day of anti-government demonstrations. At sunrise on Sunday, many were still sleeping after a long day of protests which saw jubilant demonstrators reclaim a landmark they had previously used as a focal point for anti-government protests, but which was then taken back by security forces. But some protesters woke early, and by 6am (0300 GMT) a few dozen were staging a noisy protest, chanting "Get out Hamad", calling on King Hamad bin Isa Al Khalifa, the ruler of the tiny island state, to leave. The calls against the king and his inner circle were a recent escalation in the political uprising, which began with calls to weaken the Sunni monarchy's power and address claims of discrimination against the Shiite majority, but hardened after the authorities' brutal crackdowns on unarmed demonstrators on Thursday and Friday. Teenager Amar al-Mubarak, draped in a Bahrain flag, was one of those who spent the night at Pearl Monument. "We slept on wet ground," he said, "we slept with nothing on the ground, just our clothes." Earlier this week, the rulers were quick to use force against demonstrators in the landmark square that has been the heart of the anti-government demonstrations, but appeared to back away from further confrontation, following international pressure. US President Barack Obama discussed the situation with ruler King Hamad bin Isa Al Khalifa, asking him to hold those responsible for the violence accountable. He said in a statement that Bahrain must respect the "universal rights" of its people and embrace "meaningful reform." In a telephone call to the crown prince, British Foreign Secretary William Hague said he welcomed the government's military withdrawal and strongly supported efforts to initiate a dialogue. The demonstrators have emulated protesters in Tunisia and Egypt by attempting to bring political change to the government in Bahrain, home to the US Navy's 5th Fleet - the centrepiece of Washington's efforts to confront Iranian military influence in the region. Crown Prince Salman bin Hamad Al Khalifa, deputy supreme commander of the armed forces, appealed for calm and political dialogue in a brief address on state TV. As night fell, though, defiant protesters in Pearl Monument roundabout erected barriers, wired a sound system, set up a makeshift medical tent and deployed lookouts to warn of approaching security forces. Protesters had taken over the roundabout earlier in the week, setting up a camp with tents and placards, but they were driven out by riot police in a deadly assault on Thursday that killed five people and injured more than 200. The government then clamped down on Manama by sending the tanks and other armoured vehicles into the streets around the monument, putting up barbed wire and establishing checkpoints to deter gatherings. On Friday, army units shot at marchers streaming towards Pearl Monument. More than 50 people were injured, and protesters were then unable to gather at the monument. However, by Sunday morning a small tent village had sprung up, and stalls selling hot milk, scrambled eggs and tomatoes were catering to the hundreds of Bahrainis who decided to stay overnight in the square.

He last appeared in court on October 23, when he was wheeled in on a hospital trolley as his lawyers asked a judge to refuse Latvia's extradition request on technical grounds after a magistrate ordered in May this year that he be extradited. Repeated pleas by his lawyers to halt the extradition proceedings because of Kalejs' frail health were rejected at earlier hearings. Reacting to his death, the President of the Executive Council for Australian Jewry said on Friday that her government had missed a golden opportunity to seek justice for persecuted Jews by failing to extradite Kalejs. Nina Bassat said Kalejs' death demonstrated the federal government had acted too slowly in having him extradited, and was another example of Australia's poor record on handling alleged war criminals. Kalejs migrated to Australia in 1950 and took citizenship. He would have become the first Australian citizen extradited to face war crimes charges. Australian authorities said there was insufficient evidence against him to put him on trial in Australia, and Latvia only charged him under mounting international pressure. Details of Kalejs' funeral and surviving family members were not immediately available. Kalejs has a history of being hounded out of country after country for alleged war crimes. He had gone to Canada on a visitor's visa in 1994 after being deported from the United States, where he had lived for more than three decades, after being accused of being a war criminal. He was then ordered to leave Canada three years later in August 1997, accused by the Canadian government of war crimes, and headed back to Australia. He also lived in a retirement home in England for six months before Nazi hunters tracked him down and he returned once more to Australia in January 2000. Then in September 2000, prosecutors from seven countries met in the Latvian capital, Riga, to compare evidence on Nazi war crimes in Latvia, in particular the infamous killing fields of Rumbula, six miles (nine kilometres) outside Riga. Here in the space of just two days in 1941, some 25-thousand Latvian Jews were put to death in a pine forest. The site is now marked by a memorial to the victims. Kalejs and another man, 87-year-old Karlis Ozols, were the main focus of the investigation in various massacres, including Rumbula, and extradition procedures were begun against both men.

No violence was reported on Sunday, but many parts of the country were paralyzed by a general strike called by opposition groups and workers' unions. Anti-government protests continued nevertheless in the nation's capital Manama, but the streets in the tiny island kingdom were calmer as efforts shifted toward possible political haggling over demands for the monarchy to give up its near-absolute control over key policies and positions. Hundreds of protesters spent the night back in Manama's Pearl Square after the withdrawal on Saturday of security forces, a day after firing on marchers trying to reach the site - seen as the symbolic centre of the protest movement. At sunrise on Sunday, many were still sleeping after a long day of protests which saw jubilant demonstrators reclaim a landmark they had previously used as a focal point for anti-government protests, but which was then taken back by security forces. But some protesters woke early, and by 6am (0300 GMT) a few dozen were demonstrating, chanting "Get out Hamad", calling on King Hamad bin Isa Al Khalifa to leave. The calls against the king and his inner circle were a recent escalation in the political uprising, which began with calls to weaken the Sunni monarchy's power and address claims of discrimination against the Shiite majority, but hardened after the authorities' brutal crackdowns on unarmed demonstrators on Thursday and Friday. Teenager Amar al-Mubarak, draped in a Bahrain flag, was one of those who spent the night at Pearl Monument. "We slept on wet ground," he said, "we slept with nothing on the ground, just our clothes." Many of the demonstrators marching on Sunday were striking teachers. When the teachers reached Pearl Square, they received a round of applause from thousands of other protesters already gathered there. "These people, they are trying to say whatever they want to say to this government" said one man, as he watched the protest march. In Pearl Square, local resident Hussain Sultan echoed the chants of the marchers by saying that after violence this week, he did not believe the royal family could stay in the country any longer. "They have to leave Bahrain," he said. "There is no chance (for them) to live here in Bahrain". At the Sanabis Intermediate Girls School meanwhile, in the city's Sanabis neighbourhood, about ten teachers demonstrated outside empty classrooms. The group displayed anti-government placards, one of which read: "Sit in! Sit in! Until the regime is toppled". One of the teachers, Samira Hamad, said "The purpose of this sit-in is to show our unity with the Bahraini people in order to achieve our demands." Bitterness and tensions still run deep in the island nation following seesaw battles that included riot police opening fire on protesters trying to reclaim Pearl Square and then pulling back to allow them to occupy the site. At least seven people have been killed and hundreds injured since the Arab wave for change reached the Gulf on February 14. Bahrain's rulers appear desperate to open a political dialogue after sharp criticism from Western allies and statements by overseers of next month's Formula One race that the unrest could force the cancellation of Bahrain's premier international event. Bahrain holds particular importance to Washington as the host of the US Navy's Fifth Fleet, which is the main US military counterweight to Iran's efforts to expand its armed forces and reach into the Gulf. Bahrain's ruling Sunni dynasty has strong backing from other Gulf Arab leaders, who fear that Shiite powerhouse Iran could gain further footholds through the uprising led by Bahrain's Shiite majority. A leader of the main Shiite political bloc, Abdul-Jalil Khalil, said the opposition is considering the monarchy's offer for dialogue, but he noted that no direct talks were yet under way. The protest demands include abolishing the monarchy's privileges to set policies and appoint all key political posts and address long-standing claims of discrimination and abuses against Shiites, who represents about 70 percent of Bahrain's 525-thousand citizens.
