About 70,000 angry protesters rallied in central Sofia yesterday demanding the resignation of Bulgarian Premier Andrei Lukanov and his Socialist government.

Sikh militants in India kill 43,
demand Punjab independence
Lukanov refused to resign Saturday despite nationwide opposition rallies and two attempted attacks on his home in Sofia. In a nationally unpopular effort, police fired a pressure "would be a betrayal of democracy."
At least 2,830 people have been killed by Sikh militants in Punjab so far this year. It is the highest yearly toll since the violent separatist campaign started in 1982.
In another Saturday night attack, four Sikhs approached a police checkpoint where a Sikh constable greeted them as relatives and invited them to meet his colleagues, a district police official said.
A Sikh religious leader and five devotees were fatally wounded by three Sikh gummen at a worship service Saturday night at Balachaur, in southeast of Amritsar, Press Trust of India said.
While the group was having tea at the checkpoint near Hararkalan, 18 miles north of Amritsar, one of the visitors pulled out an assault rifle and killed five of the six policemen, said Paramjit Singh, the senior superintendent of police.

CNN loses in high court, can't play Noriega tapes
WASHINGTON — The Supreme Court refused by a 7-2 vote yesterday to give Cable News Network permission to broadcast tape recordings from Panama's Gen. Manuel Norrugge and his lawyer.
The Associated Press
The court rejected an emergency request by CNN that was aimed at lifting a federal judge's order that forbids CNN from broadcasting the video until he can determine what the tapes will disclose.
In addition to the emergency request, the court also turned down a formal appeal filed by the cable company.
The emergency request called the Nov. 8 order by U.S. District Judge William Hoeverle in Miami an unconstitutional "prior restraint" of free speech. But only two justices — Thurgood Marshall and Sandra Day O'Connor — agreed with that assessment.
CNN President Tom Johnson called the court's 'a loss of a battle in a continuing war against'
Voting against CNN were Chief Justice William H. Rehmann and Justices Byron R. White, Harry A. Blackman, John Paul Stevens, Antonin Scalia, Anthony M. Kennedy and David H. Souter.
Jane Kirtley, executive director for the Reporter's Committee for Freedom of the Press, said she
Heeveler. He said CNN was "confident that after he reviews them he will decide on the merits to take action."
"The fact that the court would be willing to tolerate a prior restraint in these circumstances signals a new era in First Amendment jurisprudence." Kirtley said.
Noriage, who is awaiting trial on charges on taking $4.6 million in payoffs to protect cocaine trade through Panama, is being held in a federal prison near Miami. Federal prison authorities monitor and tape record all inmates' telephone calls, and the police interview inmates and their defense teams. The CNN tapes also contain some conversations between the deposed Panamanian leader and his defense lawyers.
CNN is under court order not to broadcast those portions of its tape divulging Norica's conversations with his lawyers. If those conversations are not reported, the case with contempt of court and fined heavily.
In seeking the prior restraint against CNN, Norioga's lawyers argued that broadcasting the tapes would poison their client's fair trial rights in the case. It is hard to imagine compromising his relationship with his lawyers.

Excavators uncover mass grave near war railroad in Thailand
The Associated Press
KANCHANABURI, Thailand — A mass grave has been discovered near the site where more than 100,000 Asian slave workers and Allied prisoners were killed in a railroad for the Japanese during World War II.
The remains of several hundred people have been dug up since Tuesday, when the excavation began. It is being carried out by the Pohidwana jungle, a remote and dangerous reasons, wants to provide proper burials.
The mass grave is about three miles from a bridge made famous in the 1957 Hollywood movie "Bridge Over the River Kwai," which celebrated the heroism of the war captives.
Several dozen workers were digging yesterday in a sugar cane field in Kanchanaburi province, about 70 miles west of Bangkok. One skull was left inside the workers covered with paper so it would not be cold.
A foundation official, Santi Assawaseyotin, said it appeared the bones had been damped into the ground.
Santi said the bones dated back to the World War II era.
"We believe they were bones of Asian people as the skills found were not big," he said. "There also was a war."
He said the remains were being brought to the foundation's office in Bangkok, where they will be.
Also recovered were metal plates and bowls. On the back of several was written "Made in Japan" or on Hong Kong." The Bangkok Post newspaper said that some had the year 1989 imprinted on them.
There was no direct evidence that the bones belonged to the World War II prisoners. No such remains have been found in Kanchanaburi in recent years.

"Traditionally, the right to shelter, the place we call "home" is one of the most nighly valued principles of our society, preceded in value, perhaps, only by the principles of freedom of speech and worship. . . . The freedom to purchase or rent any house or apartment which we can afford financially and which is in a neighborhood of our choice, is each person's or family's right. . . ."
You are invited to spend a morning with us to learn more about the amendments to the federal fair housing law and to generally gain information regarding Fair Housing and what that term really means. There are rights and responsibilities for every person connected to the rental housing business or the sale of rental property. Even though the law has been amended to protect familial status and disability, we find that many persons are still insufficiently knowledgeable even after a year and a half. Too, we also find that other violations continue to occur regarding other categories of fair housing law and/or related housing law.
Please give a few hours of your time to expand your knowledge of your rights and responsibilities in Fair Housing and take advantage of the opportunity to meet some "neighbors." This community is our home and neighborhood...let's meet and learn together!
Pre-registration is not obligatory, however, it would help greatly to ensure sufficient seating set-up if you'd call 841-7722 x 310 if you plan to attend.
