Singapore prisons maintain caning as a punishment for violent crimes. Prison director Quek Shi Lei says sentences include up to 24 cane strokes on the bare buttocks, administered by a skilled executor. Prisoners are bound to a trestle, examined by a doctor, and can faint or show severe pain.

Soviet Jew Begun photo used in Maine Yom Kippur service
For Yom Kippur in Maine Township, a photo of Yosef Begun smuggled from the Soviet Union was displayed in the synagogue with a prayer shawl. The image, kept as a symbol of Soviet Jewish hardship, echoes Begun’s three-year visa battle, during which he has been denied work and communications cut after Nixon’s visit. The congregation’s Soviet Action Committee explains the gesture honors Begun and others seeking to emigrate.
