[Zhuyeqing]

Philippine firefighters have found all 37 bodies of employees of a U.S.-based company who were trapped in a blaze that gutted a shopping mall in southern Davao city.


Mayor Sara Duterte-Carpio said that firefighters initially found one body at the NCCC Mall on Sunday Asics Gel Nimbus Shoes Outlet , but that extreme heat and thick smoke prevented them from retrieving the bodies of the 36 other employees until Monday.


Senior Superintendent Wilberto Rico Neil Kwan Tiu, regional director of the Bureau of Fire Protection, relayed the news to the employees' relatives, who broke into tears. They were told the bodies would be identified by authorities then turned over to their families.


All the dead were employees at a call center on the top floor of the four-story mall and run by U.S.-based Research Now SSI, which employs about 500 people. Its chief executive officer Asics Gel Kayano Shoes Outlet , Gary Laben, said the company would help with funeral arrangements and create a fund for contributions for the victims' families.


"This terrible tragedy has left us with heavy hearts," Laben said.


Duterte-Carpio and Tiu spoke at a Mass outside the burned mall, where the fire broke out Saturday morning on the third floor, where clothes Asics White Shoes Outlet , appliances and furniture are sold. The fire started after a storm hit Davao and flooded parts of the city.


Except for a grocery store on the ground floor and the call center on the top floor, the shopping areas were still closed to the public when the fire started mid-morning, preventing a bigger tragedy amid the peak Christmas shopping season.


President Rodrigo Duterte went to the scene of the fire and met with relatives of the trapped office employees late Saturday. He served as Davao mayor for many years before being elected to the presidency last year.

CAIRO, July 8 (Xinhua) -- The new anti-terrorism draft law recently approved by the Egyptian cabinet has raised debate and concerns about freedom and human rights, analysts here said Wednesday.


And they concerned especially that the law seeks to imprison whoever releases news differing from the official statements about terrorist activities and gives the liberty to the police to use force against suspects if they feel danger.


"We do not target the freedom of the press or the freedom of expression by the new anti-terrorism law Asics Black Shoes Outlet ," said Prime Minister Ibrahim Mahlab during a meeting with senior journalists including new president of the Journalists' Syndicate Yahia Qallash, who has previously voiced the syndicate's rejection of the new anti-terror bill.


The draft law has been initiated after the assassination of the country's top prosecutor via a car bomb in late June and the following bloody terrorist attacks on several checkpoints in North Sinai province in early July, which left 17 military men killed, while the military raids on militants in the peninsula killed about 250 since then.


Although some defend the new draft law as necessary for the national security and the country's exceptional "war against terrorism," others believe the bill represents violation of the new constitution and contradiction with the standard of free press.


"The new law is likely violation of the constitution and it undermines citizens' safety Asics Running Shoes Outlet , as it gives vast authorities to security men to use violence in case of suspicion.


In other words, a policeman can freely kill in case he feels a possible danger," Mohamed Zarie, legal expert and head of Arab Penal Reform Organization, told Xinhua.


The lawyer and human rights activist added that terrorists who carry out suicide bombings and deadly operations do not care about their lives and freedoms Asics Shoes Outlet , and that the new legislation do not only concern terrorist but it concerns the freedom and rights of 90 million Egyptians.


"We do not want to reach a dilemma where the interests of the state institutions contradict those of media professionals, journalists, lawyers, activists, etc Asics Gel Nimbus Shoes Clearance ," Zarie said, showing understanding of the necessity for the state to protect itself yet voicing concern about possible "unconstitutionality" of the new anti-terror bill.


Egypt has been facing a rising wave of terrorism since the ouster of former Islamist President Mohamed Morsi by the military in early July 2013 and the following crackdown on his supporters, particularly those of the now-outlawed Muslim Brotherhood group, which left more than 1,000 of them killed and thousands more arrested.


Since then Asics Gel Kayano Shoes Clearance , Sinai-based self-proclaimed Islamists have been launching terror attacks against police and army men, leaving hundreds of them killed; Ansar Bayt al-Maqdis group, which has changed its name to "Sinai State" and vowed loyalty to the Islamic State (IS) regional militant group, claimed responsibility for most of the anti-government attacks.


To cope with the rapid pace of terrorism, the new leadership imposed a curfew and a state of emergency in Sinai Asics White Shoes Clearance , created a buffer zone at Egypt's borders with the Palestinian Gaza Strip and approved an anti-protest law for more stability and security, which led to the imprisonment of dozens of youth activists who initially supported Morsi's removal.


Still, a lot of journalists and partisans who backed President Abdel-Fattah al-Sisi against Morsi's Brotherhood supporters "wholeheartedly" reject the new anti-terror draft law and see it as transgression against the citizen's constitutionally protected rights.


On Wednesday, the country's National Council for Human Rights rejected the new anti-terror bill as "unconstitutional," while the Democratic Current Party and others considered it a waste of the constitutional rights and freedom gained via the January 2011 and June 2013 mass protests that toppled ex-leaders Hosni Mubarak and Morsi.


The concerns heightened in light of the ongoing anti-protest law Asics Black Shoes Clearance , the recurrent police violations and the recent mass death sentences issued agains.
