ROSEN, RECOGNIZED INVESTOR COUNSEL, Encourages DISH Network Corporation Investors with Losses to Secure Counsel Before Important Deadline in Securities Class Action – DISH

NEW YORK, April 21, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — WHY: Rosen Law Firm, a global investor rights law firm, reminds purchasers of the securities of DISH Network Corporation (NASDAQ: DISH) between February 22, 2021 and February 27, 2023, both dates inclusive (the “Class Period”), of the important May 22, 2023 lead plaintiff deadline.

SO WHAT: If you purchased DISH securities during the Class Period you may be entitled to compensation without payment of any out of pocket fees or costs through a contingency fee arrangement.

WHAT TO DO NEXT: To join the DISH class action, go to https://rosenlegal.com/submit-form/?case_id=13586 or call Phillip Kim, Esq. toll-free at 866-767-3653 or email pkim@rosenlegal.com or cases@rosenlegal.com for information on the class action. A class action lawsuit has already been filed. If you wish to serve as lead plaintiff, you must move the Court no later than May 22, 2023. A lead plaintiff is a representative party acting on behalf of other class members in directing the litigation.

WHY ROSEN LAW: We encourage investors to select qualified counsel with a track record of success in leadership roles. Often, firms issuing notices do not have comparable experience, resources or any meaningful peer recognition. Many of these firms do not actually litigate securities class actions, but are merely middlemen that refer clients or partner with law firms that actually litigate the cases. Be wise in selecting counsel. The Rosen Law Firm represents investors throughout the globe, concentrating its practice in securities class actions and shareholder derivative litigation. Rosen Law Firm has achieved the largest ever securities class action settlement against a Chinese Company. Rosen Law Firm was Ranked No. 1 by ISS Securities Class Action Services for number of securities class action settlements in 2017. The firm has been ranked in the top 4 each year since 2013 and has recovered hundreds of millions of dollars for investors. In 2019 alone the firm secured over $438 million for investors. In 2020, founding partner Laurence Rosen was named by law360 as a Titan of Plaintiffs’ Bar. Many of the firm’s attorneys have been recognized by Lawdragon and Super Lawyers.

DETAILS OF THE CASE: According to the lawsuit, throughout the Class Period, defendants made materially false and misleading statements regarding the Company’s business, operations, and prospects. Specifically, defendants made false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that: (1) DISH overstated its operational efficiency and maintained a deficient cybersecurity and information technology infrastructure; (2) as a result of the foregoing, DISH was unable to properly secure customer data, leaving it vulnerable to access by malicious third parties; (3) the foregoing cybersecurity deficiencies also both rendered DISH’s operations susceptible to widespread service outages and hindered DISH’s ability to respond to such outages; and (4) as a result, the Company’s public statements were materially false and misleading at all relevant times. When the true details entered the market, the lawsuit claims that investors suffered damages.

No Class Has Been Certified. Until a class is certified, you are not represented by counsel unless you retain one. You may select counsel of your choice. You may also remain an absent class member and do nothing at this point. An investor’s ability to share in any potential future recovery is not dependent upon serving as lead plaintiff.

What’s a ‘Practical Major’?

French! That’s according to writer Freddie DeBoer, who cites the hundreds of millions of French speakers across Africa. DeBoer argues that “safe majors” like business or computer science often suffer from high competition, low educational standards, volatile demand and susceptibility to artificial intelligence (AI). Furthermore, the idea of a “practical major” is meaningless, constantly changing and used to blame people for economic issues beyond their control.

Germany: Immigrants Made Up More Than over 18% of 2022 Population

Some 15.3 million people in Germany, just under one in five nationwide, immigrated there at some point in their lives, according to new government statistics for 2022. Almost 5 million more were born to migrant parents.

Roughly 20.2 million people in Germany in 2022 either moved to the country themselves or were born to two people who moved there, according to figures published by the Federal Statistical Office, Destatis, on Thursday.

That’s a 6.3% rise on the 2021 figure and represents 24.3% of the total population of around 83.2 million.

Of those, 15.3 million, or 18.4% of the population, moved to Germany from abroad themselves at some point in their own lifetimes.

The high average levels of migration in recent years were also apparent in the statistics.

Just over 6 million people had migrated to Germany in the last decade on record, between 2013 and 2022.

Increased migration from conflict zones like Ukraine, Syria and Afghanistan in 2022 meant that the amount of people who migrated themselves was rising faster, up 7.3% on the past year, than the number of children born to migrant parents, up 4% on 2021, Destatis said.

‘Immigration stories’ and ‘migration backgrounds’

Destatis counted another 4.9 million, roughly 6%, whose parents both migrated to Germany.

And it noted that another 3.9 million had one parent who was a migrant though it said it was not counting them as having a full “immigration story,” rather a “one-sided” one.

You might have seen or heard slightly higher figures for migrant population size in Germany in the past. That’s because Destatis was tracking what it describes as people with an Einwanderungsgeschichte, an “immigration history,” but it also regularly reports on people in Germany with a Migrationshintergrund, a “migration background.”

The statistics are separate yet the data also overlaps considerably. The difference is that to classify as having a “migration background,” one or more parents not having been born a German citizen suffices.

Some 23.8 million people in Germany, or 28.7% of the population, fit that definition, Destatis said on Thursday, a slight increase on their last tally.

Germany has long been known for a comparatively open migration policy, partly the result of decades of low birth rates and a large labor market. The government is currently working on a new policy designed to better attract skilled labor from outside the EU.

Where Are the Arrivals from and Why Did They Migrate?

Destatis noted that people who had moved to Germany in the last ten years were on average younger than the average native citizen, with an average age of 29.9 versus 47.0 across the population.

Among them, 27.9% said the moved because they were fleeing or seeking asylum, 24.2% said they were looking for work, and 23.8% said they were moving to join their families. Another 8.2% said they migrated to pursue academic opportunities.

There was near gender parity among the 15.3 million in Germany who had migrated in the last decade; 47% were women and 53% men.

The most common countries of origin were civil war-stricken Syria (16%), followed by Romania (7%) and Poland (6%), with Ukraine next at 5%. Destatis noted that the unexpected increase in arrivals from Ukraine in 2022 was probably not yet adequately represented in the data.

First Person: Aboriginal Australians suffer from ‘violent history’ and ongoing ‘institutional racism’

“I've been an activist in my community sine I was young. I decided to study law because I thought that I could help to improve our human rights situation. I was fortunate enough to be able to undertake a master's degree in international human rights, so I've been using it as best I can at international forums, and also advocating for reforms in Australia, because our human rights situation is very dire.

My people, the Noongar, were violently dispossessed from their lands by the British, and were basically enslaved: my great grandmother was an indentured child labourer. People who resisted the very cruel laws of the time were incarcerated and taken from their countries by chains to an island prison, where many died. Aboriginal children were forcibly removed from their families, en masse, as part of a policy called assimilation.

This is our violent history. As I was growing up, we faced many issues, including racism and the targeting of Aboriginal people, including aboriginal youth, by police; violence against women; refusal of our land rights; and poverty.

Coded racism, rights denied

Today, there is still a lot of racism in the media and in society. We face serious human rights issues, including the removal of children from their mothers, the high incarceration rates of Aboriginal people, particularly children and young people, in conditions that are very inhumane.

Australia is not the country I grew up in, when openly racist, derogatory language was used. But there's more coded racism now. For example, the terribly sad issue of Aboriginal child sexual abuse is used as an excuse for removing children from their families.

There’s a lot of resistance to our rights being recognized, even the right to have our own national indigenous body, which should not be argued about in this day and age.

In some ways our rights situation is getting worse, according to the government's own data. We're seeing more incarceration of Aboriginal people; more Aboriginal children being removed from their mothers and families, increasingly to non-Indigenous families where they lose their cultural identity; and we're seeing more Aboriginal suicides as well.

These are the shocking, ongoing impacts of colonization and we know that systemic and institutional racism and discrimination is a key driver of these issues.

The fight for a voice in parliament

There have been some improvements. We are now looking at a national referendum to change the Australian Constitution, to enshrine a democratically elected Aboriginal voice in parliament, that will be consulted and heard on matters affecting Aboriginal people. This would represent a historic, very substantive reform to the Constitution.

I'm really hoping that we are going to make this change. But of course, we are a minority, just four per cent of the population, and a majority of Australians will need to vote in favour of the reform.

We’re also calling on Australia to adopt a national action plan based on the UN Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples. That was a recommendation of the World Conference on Indigenous Peoples in 2014, and it still hasn’t happened. Australia cannot claim leadership internationally, without respecting its international commitments in respect to indigenous peoples.

The power of international law

This Forum is a real chance for us to raise indigenous human rights issues with the governments of the world and indigenous peoples of the world listening. Decisions made here may not be binding at a national level, but UN Member States do have an obligation to genuinely engage, and to uphold our rights as indigenous peoples.

Sometimes we have a better chance of influencing domestic reforms in our country by arguing our case before the UN and in UN forums: the UN is still a prestigious international forum that we know that our governments have to respect.

I've used UN mechanisms to advance the issue of violence against indigenous women in Australia; for over five years, I went to various UN treaty bodies and highlighted this issue and the failure of the government allocate resources and develop relevant policies. This eventually led to a commitment from the Australian Government to act.

We are a part of the UN and the World Affairs now. With the threat of climate change and our future in the balance, it should be very clear that indigenous peoples have their place in this dialogue.”

Action against criminal network dealing with human trafficking, pimping and money laundering

Judicial and law enforcement authorities in Romania, Ireland and the United Kingdom have dismantled a criminal network involved in trafficking and sexual exploitation of human beings, pimping and money laundering. During a joint action day, 12 suspects were charged. Eurojust provided support to set up and fund a joint investigation team (JIT) into the case and facilitated judicial cross-border cooperation.

Active since 2017, the organised crime group (OCG) allegedly recruited young Romanian women, some of them minors, and transported them to the United Kingdom and Ireland where they were sexually exploited. The prostitution service was advertised on dedicated escort websites and took place in rented apartments in various cities.

Starting initially in the UK, the leader of the criminal group has allegedly organised and developed a genuine prostitution network, assigning a specific role to each member of the OCG. He also created the conditions for other pimps to join and use the network to sexually exploit their own victims.

It is believed that the prostitution activities generated large sums of money that were used by the suspects to finance their luxurious lifestyles and to purchase valuable assets. Profits were laundered through banks and other money transfer services to conceal their illicit origin.

During a joint action day on 19 April, 12 suspects were charged, five of them were detained and four are under judicial control. A total of 19 house searches were carried out, 17 in Romania and 2 in Ireland. During the house searches, various means of evidence were seized, including laptops, mobile phones and cards. Six real estate properties, six premium and luxury vehicles and over EUR 22 500 in cash have been frozen.

The case was opened in December 2021 at the request of the Romanian authorities. A JIT was set up between the Romanian, Irish and UK authorities with the support of Eurojust in May 2022. Three coordination meetings were also hosted by the Agency to facilitate judicial cooperation and provide support for the coordinated investigative efforts.

The following authorities took part in this investigation:

Romania: Directorate for Investigating Organized Crime and Terrorism – Buzau Territorial Office; Police Brigades for Countering Organized Crime Buzau, Bucuresti, Ploiesti

Ireland: An Garda Síochána

United Kingdom: Kent Police
