  • Blue Devils Stalk Jayhawks for NCAA Title, 72-65
    NCAA VICTORY EDITION At last Once college basketball's perennial brides­ maids, the Duke Blue Devils win it all in their THE CHRONICLE ninth trip to the Final Four. TUESDAY, APRIL 2, 1991 DUKE UNIVERSITY DURHAM, NORTH CAROLINA CIRCULATION: 3,000 VOL. 86, NO. 125A DUKE TAKES CROWN! Blue Devils stalk Jayhawks for NCAA title, 72-65 By MARK JAFFE INDIANAPOLIS — For the first time in its history, the men's basketball team captured an NCAA Championship. The Blue Devils used a 17-7 run early in the second half to pull away from Kansas and fought off a furious late-game assault by the Jayhawks to win, 72-65, Monday night at the Hoosier Dome. "I'm so happy for our guys," said head coach Mike Krzyzewski. "I'm not sure if anyone's ever played harder for 80 minutes to win a national title." The Blue Devils (32-7) had fallen short ofthe championship in eight previous trips to the Final Four, including four ofthe last five years. But in 1991 Duke would not be denied. "I feel good but [not winning the title] has never been a monkey on my back," Krzyzewski said. "Did you see the players' faces? I looked at my three daughters and saw them crying. I'm just so happy." Christian Laettner, the most outstand­ ing player ofthe tournament, had his first double-double—18 points and 10 rebounds — in 12 games to lead Duke. "I'm just very happy about [most out­ standing player honors]," Laettner said. "But there are more things I'm more happy about — a national championship, a big trophy for coach to bring back to Duke.

  • Denial of the Right to Life and Liberty of Person As a Crime of Apartheid Addameer Prisoner Support and Human Rights Association
    Denial of the right to life and liberty of person as a crime of apartheid Addameer Prisoner Support and Human Rights Association Since the beginning of the occupation of Palestinian territories in 1967, more than 700,000 Palestinians have been arrested by the Israeli authorities. As of 1 November 2011, there were approximately 4,897 Palestinian political prisoners held in Israeli prisons. Addameer defines political prisoners as any Palestinian—resident of the West Bank, including East Jerusalem, the Gaza Strip, or Israel—arrested in relation to the occupation. Of these prisoners, 269 were administrative detainees, 10 were women, 176 were children, and 22 were members of the Palestinian Legislative Council. In terms of origin, 141 were from East Jerusalem, 162 were citizens of Israel, 494 were from the Gaza Strip and the remainder (4,100) from the West Bank. These prisoners are arrested on the basis of different legal systems depending on their residence, whether in the West Bank, East Jerusalem, Gaza Strip or Israel. West Bank In the West Bank, Israeli authorities carry out arrests and detentions of Palestinians by virtue of a system of military regulations in place since the beginning of the occupation, with over 2,500 military orders issued over the past 44 years. Currently, the Order Regarding Security Provisions [Consolidated Version] (Judea and Samaria) (No. 1651), which replaces 20 pre-existing military orders, provides the authority to arrest and prosecute Palestinians from the West Bank for so- called “security” offences. These offences include injury to persons; offences against the authorities of the “area” and against the public order; obstruction of judicial proceedings; offences regarding weapons and war equipment, property, espionage or contact with enemy or hostile organization, and a number of other issues.
