South Africa suspends decision to free Pistorius
South Africa's Oscar Pistorius
Johannesburg - Arab Today
South African Paralympian Oscar Pistorius, serving a five-year sentence for killing his girlfriend, may not be released as expected this week because the decision to free him was "premature", the justice ministry said Wednesday.
Justice Minister Michael Masutha said in a statement that a June decision to release him had "no legal basis" and would be suspended pending a parole board review.
"It is apparent... that the decision to release him on 21 August 2015 was made prematurely on 5 June 2015 when the offender was not eligible to be considered at all," the statement said.

to 'eternal style' of late Alaia
Paris - Emiratesvoice
Two months after legendary designer Azzedine Alaia's sudden death plunged the fashion world into mourning, an exhibition in homage to the "King of Cling" opens Monday in his studios in Paris. The Tunisian-born designer, renowned for the way his clothes hugged the body, died suddenly in November aged 82, reportedly of heart failure after falling down the stairs at his home.
