NATION/WORLD Wave of lawsuits filed to block net-neutrality repeal East Oregonian Page 6A NEW YORK (AP) — The expected wave of litigation against the Federal Commu- nications Commission’s repeal of net-neutrality rules has begun. A group of attorneys general for 21 states and the District of Columbia sued Tuesday to block the rules. So did Mozilla, the maker of the Firefox browser, and New America’s Open Technology Institute. Other public-interest groups are expected to file suit as well, and the tech-industry lobbying group has said it will support litigation. The rules barred compa- nies like AT&T, Comcast and Verizon from interfering with internet traffic and favoring their own sites and apps. FCC Chairman Ajit Pai’s push to undo them inspired both street and online protests in defense of the Obama-era rules.

New York Attorney General Eric Schneiderman, who is leading the suit, said Tuesday that the end of the net neutrality rules would hurt consumers and busi- nesses. FCC spokesman Brian Hart declined to comment on the litigation. The lawsuits are part of a multi-pronged approach against the net-neutrality repeal. There are efforts by Democrats to undo the repeal in Congress. State lawmakers have also introduced bills to protect net neutrality in their own states. However, the FCC’s order bars state laws from contradicting the federal government’s approach. The other attorneys general participating in the lawsuit are from California, Connecticut, Delaware, Hawaii, Illinois, Iowa, Kentucky, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Minnesota, Mississippi, New Mexico, North Carolina, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Vermont and Virginia and Washington. The parties may have to file suit again after the FCC’s order is published in the Federal Register. That hasn’t happened yet. The different suits may also be consolidated. Danish man charged with killing reporter on his submarine COPENHAGEN, Denmark (AP) — Inventor Peter Madsen was charged Tuesday with killing Swedish journalist Kim Wall during a trip on his private submarine, with prosecutors saying he either cut her throat or strangled her before dismem- bering her body and dumping it into the sea. Prosecutor Jakob Buch- Jepsen called the case “very unusual and extremely disturbing.” Madsen, 47, is charged with murder, dismember- ment and indecent handling of a corpse for the way he disposed of Wall’s body. He is also charged with having sexual relations with Wall, 30, of a “particularly dangerous nature” before she was killed. The charges were made public by the Danish prose- cution authority. Buch-Jepsen said the killing was premeditated. Prosecutors will urge that Madsen be sentenced to life in prison, or be locked up in a secure mental facility if deemed necessary by psychiatrists for as long as he’s considered sick and dangerous to others. Jacob Ehrbahn/Ritzau Foto, File via AP In this Aug. 13, 2017 file photo, police technicians board Peter Madsen’s submarine UC3 Nautilus on a pier in Copenhagen harbour, Denmark. “There is much technical evidence but I won’t go into details right now,” Buch- Jepsen told a brief news conference. He also declined to comment on Madsen’s motive. “Evidence must be presented in court and not in the media,” he said, adding he also didn’t want to comment out of respect for Wall’s family. Madsen’s defense lawyer Betina Hald Engmark had no immediate comment in reaction to the charges, adding her client still denies murdering Wall. Madsen and Wall had gone on a trip in Madsen’s submarine on Aug. 10. Wall, who was working on a story about Madsen, was last seen aboard the vessel as it left Copenhagen. The next day, Madsen — an entrepreneur who once dreamed of launching a manned space mission — was rescued from the sinking submarine without Wall. Police believe he deliber- ately sank the vessel. Madsen has offered a shifting variety of expla- nations for Wall’s death. Initially, he told authorities he had dropped Wall off on an island several hours after their voyage began. Then he claimed that Wall died acci- dentally inside the submarine while he was on deck during the excursion and he had “buried” her at sea. However, he later admitted throwing her body parts into the sea. Wall’s dismembered, naked torso was found on a southern Copenhagen shoreline in late August. Her head, legs and clothes were discovered in bags at sea in October, along with heavy metal objects designed to take them to the ocean floor. Multiple knife wounds had been found on her torso and Buch-Jepsen said Tuesday Madsen had stabbed Wall several times while she was alive but declined to elaborate. Authorities also want to destroy Madsen’s submarine. Madsen’s trial starts March 8 and a verdict is expected on April 25.
