...Hildale, Utah, and Colorado City, Ariz. Although wanted for unlawful flight to avoid prosecution charges of forcing underage marriages, he conducted even more underage unions, exiled men from their homes and families who were considered "unworthy," and ordered followers not to pay their taxes. Some fear that his arrest could now create a power vacuum within his sect and attract other Jeffs-minded leaders interested in doing it their own way. There is also the possibility of an exiled member returning to establish new leadership...
...Lacy changed course on Karr when it became clear that his DNA didn't match what was found at the scene of the crime. Her motion to quash the arrest warrant, though, quickly shifted attention away from Karr's delusional confessions toward Lacy's own handling of the investigation.

Chen kept in contact with foreign journalists through cell phones that friends and family smuggled in for him. Last September I wrote a story for TIME about forced sterilizations in Linyi. The magazine subsequently named Chen to its annual list...
...themselves. They were the grim reality of life here before the 1997 election of the liberalizer Mohammad Khatami. The difference today is the sporadic and velvet-gloved implementation of the old codes. Instead of announcing new bans or dispatching morality police onto the streets of Tehran to harass and arrest young people - the crude, classic measures that fomented much anger and discontent - the system is employing more subtle means that seek to make Iranians themselves, instead of uniformed agents of the state, the enforcers...
