Bail for entomologists held for illegal insect collection
Two Czech entomologists jailed in India on charges of illegally collecting insects were released on bail on 25 July. They are to remain in Darjeeling until their case is heard there on 12 August

The pair were arrested in late June

エルメス スカーフ, butterflies and moths in a national park without proper permits (see Nature 454, 14; 2008). Petr Švácha, of the Institute of Entomology at the Biology Centre of the Academy of Sciences of the Czech Republic in Cěské Budějovice, and his colleague Emil Kučera say that to their knowledge they did not even enter the park. If convicted, they face two to seven years in prison.
If Indians have a little dirt on their shoes when entering countries like Australia or NewZealand (I am not disputing the scientific rationale here but how people are treated), they are fined hundreds of dollars

Or how poor Indian vegetarians (I am not one) who take food items are treated under draconian laws. I dont understand how a fried chips will violate biosafety for example. May be a tree full of chips might sprout threatening chip manufacturing industries!
Every nation has its laws.
Antibiotics like tetracycline and Vancomycin have been discovered by culturing soil samples stolen from India

It is high time India awakens to the potential for stealing flora and fauna including microbes and insects without proper permissions and licensing terms.
India is not a banana republic from Africa or Latin america where companies or industries can do whatever they want without regulatory or ethical considerations

Granted there is a level of corruption and institutional failure, there are still laws and institutions.
I feel sorry for the scientists for overlooking permissions
ポールスミス 時計, but nobody feels sorry for poor Indians who get caught on the wrong side of the laws in the West.
If you have any doubt, just recount how the Australians treated a poor Indian doctor for the crime of rushing to see his new born baby only because his cousin was remotely involved in burning himself and his car (alleged terrorist plot)
When 2 dozen bombs explode in Indian cities in 24 hours, it does not even get reported in world media!

Mr. Lawrence,
Your point about biological intellectual property may be a valid one, but your supporting examples are irrelevant. As you well know, laws restricting foreign organic material from entering Australia and New Zealand were put in place for very good reasons
プラダ 財布. Making exceptions for every bhabi who doesn't check her shoes would leave these ecosystems wide open to more malicious visitors and smugglers. Tetracycline was discovered by an American in soil from Missouri, and vancomycin was first isolated from a soil sample from Borneo, at a time when no one would have thought of taking a pouchful of dirt as theft
バーバリー バッグ. It still isn't in most jurisdictions. In this particular instance, we should keep in mind the very real possibility that these entomologists are telling the truth, and never actually entered the park
エルメス バーキン. Not producing baksheesh when a police officer expects it can be very dangerous in India. Finally, as a consumer of the "world media" (not an apologist), I'd like to point out that I was perfectly aware of the bomb blasts in Bangalore and Calcutta hours after they occurred, but have no clue "how the Australians treated a poor Indian doctor".
