The U.N.’s top human rights body overwhelmingly approved a measure calling on countries to do more to prevent religious hatred in the wake of Quran burnings in Europe over objections of Western countries who fear tougher steps by governments could trample freedom of expression.One person has been killed as some Kenyans angered by the rising cost of living are back on the streets Wednesday in the latest of a series of protests.
The agency said no one in the commercial vehicles was injured in the crash at the Silver Lake Rest Area near the city of Highland about 25 miles east of St. Louis. State Police spokesperson Melaney Arnold said those killed and injured were all on the Greyhound bus.
