\u00bbIn my opinion the EU should keep its greasy hands off how we organise our welfare state,\u00ab said the DPP\u2019s lead candidate for the May 26th EU election, Peter Kofod, adding that it\u2019s \u2018deeply unfair\u2019 that people who\u2019ve never set foot in this country have immediate access to social handouts such as SU.<\/p>\n

Rector of the University of Copenhagen Henrik Wegener has written a letter to the King of Saudi Arabia, expressing his support for historian and human rights activist<\/a> Dr. Hatoon al-Fassi.<\/p>\nAl-Fassi, a researcher in women\u2019 history who has been fighting for\u00a0women\u2019s rights and gender equality, was arrested by the authorities of Saudi Arabia in June 2018<\/p>\n
According to the Scholars at Risk group, Dr. Al-Fassi, along with other detainees, has been temporarily released from prison. But there is no information indicating when, if ever, she will return to prison or if the authorities will drop charges against her.<\/p>\n
Details emerge from grave of murdered Bronze Age family<\/h1>\n
15 people found in a Bronze Age mass grave in southern Poland were all killed by a blow to the head. Yet their bodies were buried together with great care and consideration.<\/p>\n
Now, genetic evidence suggests these individuals were members of the same extended family, according to a team of researchers from the University of Copenhagen, the University of Aarhus, and the Archaeological Museum in Poznan, Poland<\/a>. The individuals were positioned in the grave according to their kin relationships.<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/uniavisen.dk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/massegrav496-480x293.jpg\")
<\/picture>The bodies in the grave were placed neatly side by side and with gifts for their last journey. Reconstruction: Micha\u0142 Podsiad\u0142o (polish artist).<\/p><\/div>\n
All 15 skulls exhibited fatal cranial fractures, but no defensive wounds, such as injuries to the upper limbs, were detected, which suggests these individuals were captured and executed, and not killed in hand-to-hand combat.<\/p>\n
Importantly, fathers and older male relatives were missing from the grave, \u00bbsuggesting that it might have been them who buried their kin,\u00ab wrote the authors in the new study.<\/p>\n
\u00bbOur suggestion is that they weren\u2019t at the settlement when the massacre occurred and that they returned later, and subsequently buried their families in a respectful way,\u00ab said biologist Morten Allentoft of the University of Copenhagen.<\/a><\/p>\nProfessor ousted from deanship after joining Weinstein legal team<\/h1>\n
