It's March 31st. This is Europe News Today, European news powered by AI. Martina Burke and her daughter Ami just got arrested Tuesday afternoon in County Ross Common. They're the mother and sister of teacher Enoch Burke, and a high court judge ordered them jailed for two weeks, almost four weeks ago, on contempt. Charges. They weren't even at the hearing when Justice Brian Kruegen handed down the ruling. It all ties back to a wild February 20th court session that turned chaotic, with both women getting removed by eight to ten guardi after they kept standing up and shouting over the proceedings. Martina defended herself by saying her son Enoch had his constitutional rights stripped away. Ami chimed in, refusing to stay quiet while her brother's rights got denied, but the judge called it out straight. The whole Burke family acts like they're above the law. Guardi moved in today in Castleria to carry out the high court order, and they're taking the two women straight to Mount Joy Women's Prison, according to their official statement with no extra details.

This enforcement ramps up the long-running Burke family clash with the courts, leaving everyone watching how it unfolds next.
