Students and rights groups plan to demonstrate at Stanford University's commencement on Sunday to express outrage over the 6-month jail sentence handed to a former student convicted of sexual assault on the California campus
www.chaussuresmax270.fr , organizers said on Saturday.
UltraViolet, a women's rights group, said it commissioned a plane to fly over Stanford's Palo Alto campus just ahead of graduation ceremonies with a banner reading, "Protect Survivors. Not Rapists. #PerskyMustGo."
The tag refers to Santa Clara Superior Court Judge Aaron Persky, who handed down what many consider to be an extraordinarily light sentence against former Stanford student-athlete Brock Turner, 20
Chaussures Nike Air Max 270 Soldes , for his conviction in a 2015 sexual assault.
In addition, Stanford students said on social media that they planned to carry protest signs as they walk toward the prestigious university's commencement.
Protest organizers from UltraViolet have said online they want to see members of the Stanford community speak out against the sentence. The aim is to strike a blow against a culture on college campuses that they say discourages victims of sexual assault from coming forward.
Turner's sentencing on June 2 gained international attention after a detailed letter that the victim had read aloud in court was posted online. It describes the devastation the woman felt in being sexual assaulted while unconscious after partying.
A Stanford law professor is leading a signature-gathering drive to remove the judge from office for handing down the six-month sentence even though prosecutors had recommended six years.
Santa Clara County Assistant District Attorney James Gibbons-Shapiro told the San Jose Mercury News that his office does not have a legal basis to appeal the sentence because the judge was authorized by law to mete out the sentence he gave.
Some students have said on social media they would protest at "wacky walk," a Stanford tradition where students in costumes hold celebratory signs as they head toward graduation ceremonies, where documentary filmmaker Ken Burns is scheduled to be the keynote speaker.
Persky is legally unable to comment on the case because Turner is appealing his conviction, Santa Clara County court spokesman Joseph Macaluso has said.
Some media commentators have pushed back against criticism of Persky. At Slate, legal writer Mark Joseph Stern this week described the sentence as too lenient

BANDAR SERI BEGAWAN, July 9 (Xinhua) -- At 8:00 a.m. on Saturday, the normally heavily-guarded gates of the Istana Nurul Iman, the seat of power in the sultanate of Brunei, are open and a crowd is gathered at the entrance.
People dressed in their best traditional outfits, the favoured garb for formal occasions

It is the fourth day of Hari Raya, and everyone is waiting to enter the palace to celebrate the Muslim holiday that marks the end of the fasting month with royalty.
"We are going to meet His Majesty," an impeccably dressed man says as he prepares to walk the 20-minute stretch between the parking lot and the palace with his boy. "And also (in the palace), we will eat buffet."
The three-day open house at the palace, from Thursday to Saturday
Homme Nike Air Max 270 Hot Punch Noir Soldes , is one of the highlights of celebrating Hari Raya in the sultanate. The royal residence only opens its doors to the public for three days each year, and those fall on the Eid season, which in Brunei lasts for an entire month.
For people who flock to the halls of the palace on these days, the event is a chance to meet the monarch and his family. The affair is divided into morning and afternoon sessions. In each of these sessions, the King and his family members spend a few hours with visiting guests.
"The visitors, from all walks of life

According to a report from The Brunei Times, more than 100,000 people went to the Istana open house last year. Preliminary estimates by the newspaper for this year peg the number of Istana visitors at 67

Those who go to the open house get royal treatment. "There is a special buffet prepared by the royal caterer, and before leaving the palace, guests also get a souvenir in the form of a Hari Raya card, a beautifully designed box filled with cakes and biscuits," Dewi Rina adds.
Children get green packets that contain cash.
Lavish celebrations of this kind are not limited to the palace grounds. Outside of the royal residence, receptions

In contrast to the solemnity of Ramadhan, the Muslim month of fasting which calls for spiritual reflection and considering the needs of the less privileged, Hari Raya is "festive and merry, with bursts of energy flying around," says Zatty

Opening their homes to relatives, friends and strangers is an opportunity for Muslims in Brunei to share the joy of the season with their guests.
There are no rules to follow for receiving guests into homes, but a generally accepted practice is that elders get the honor of being the first to host a gathering among family members.
"Our family makes it a point to visit our elders first. So (we visit the) grandparents' homes first, where we would meet up with extended family also and have the opportunity to spend time with cousins. And then afterwards to uncles' and aunts' homes, and then to friends," says Izam
