Indian Woman Killed in Fall

A 23-year-old Indian woman was found dead in southwestern Moscow after falling out of a window, police said Wednesday.

“The body was found near 24/2 Simferopolsky Bulvar,” a police spokesman said. He said investigators would examine whether the death was a suicide.

The woman was temporarily registered in the Sevastopol Hotel at 1A Bolshaya Yushunskaya, not far from the place where the body was found.

A 25-year-old Indian woman fell to her death from a Moscow apartment window in July 2006. Moscow police concluded that it was an accident, but Indian police later arrested the woman’s husband and father-in-law on suspicion of murder. (MT)

Ukraine Bans ‘Bruno’

Ukraine’s Culture Ministry said Wednesday that it had banned Sacha Baron Cohen’s new hit movie “Bruno” because it was immoral.

The movie is centered around the adventures of a flamboyant gay fashion journalist from Austria.

The ministry said Cohen’s depictions of sexual organs, homosexual intercourse and language are obscene and improper.

Baron Cohen’s previous movie “Borat: Cultural Learnings of America for Make Benefit Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan” ridiculed Kazakhstan and the United States. Kazakhstan and Russia banned it, although pirated copies were widely available in Moscow.

There was no immediate word whether Russia would ban “Bruno.” (AP, MT)
