  • Switzerland opens investigation into Israeli soldier’s war crimes in historic first

    Switzerland opens investigation into Israeli soldier’s war crimes in historic first

    Swiss authorities have opened an investigation into an Israeli soldier present in the country for war crimes, the Hind Rajab Foundation (HRF) has confirmed on Wednesday. 

    The HRF has said in a statement that their complaint to Swiss authorities provides “extensive evidence implicating the individual in war crimes and crimes against humanity, including attacks on civilians, destruction of homes and hospitals, forced displacement, and other grave violations of international law committed in the Gaza Strip.” 

    The investigation begins as Israel faces mounting legal troubles for its war crimes in Gaza. The International Criminal Court (ICC) has issued arrest warrants for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and former Defence Minister Yoav Gallant. HRF has focused more on soldiers and commanders of the Israeli army, bringing their atrocities to light in different countries, including Brazil, Spain and now Switzerland. 

    The Hind Rajab Foundation, named for the six-year-old Palestinian girl murdered by Israeli soldiers in cold blood,  was formed last year to hold the Israeli army to account for breaking international laws.

  • Nora Fatehi falls victim to false death rumours just before her birthday

    Nora Fatehi falls victim to false death rumours just before her birthday

    Bollywood’s famous dancing sensation, Nora Fatehi, became the victim of false and bizarre news just a day before her birthday.

    According to Indian media reports, misleading news about Nora Fatehi, known for her signature dance moves, went viral, falsely claiming she had passed away in an accident.

    A deceptive video that spread like wildfire on social media showed a woman falling down a mountain.

    The viral clip was accompanied by a post that read, “The death of famous Bollywood actress Nora Fatehi is bad news for Bollywood.”

    This video went viral across social media platforms. However, there is no truth to these claims, and Indian media has confirmed that Nora is alive and well.

    Reports revealed that the video was fake, likely created to mislead the public and spread unnecessary fear and panic.

    Social media users have strongly criticised those responsible for spreading false and inaccurate news about Nora.

    This is not the first time false rumours about the death of a celebrity have circulated on social media.

  • Bangladesh protesters raze buildings linked to ousted leader

    Bangladesh protesters raze buildings linked to ousted leader

    Dhaka (AFP) – Hundreds of Bangladeshi protesters smashed down buildings connected to ousted former leader Sheikh Hasina on Thursday, hours after students with excavators began demolishing a museum to her father.

    The museum and former of home of Hasina’s late father, Bangladesh’s first president Sheikh Mujibur Rahman, had been set on fire last year during the student-led revolution that ended her 15 years of autocratic rule.

    Late Wednesday, six months to the day since Hasina fled by helicopter to old ally India on August 5, crowds carrying hammers and metal rods began beating down the walls of the building in the capital Dhaka.

    Protests were triggered in response to reports that 77-year-old Hasina — who has defied an arrest warrant to face trial in Dhaka for massacres — would appear in a Facebook broadcast from exile.

    On Thursday morning, diggers were being used to knock down the remaining fire-blackened walls.

    Protesters also vandalised and torched other houses across the country linked to Hasina, including an arson attack on the Dhaka house of Hasina’s late husband.

    Prothom Alo, the largest Bengali daily, reported crowds used government-owned excavators to smash down a building owned by Hasina’s family in the city of Khulna.

     

    Vandalised homes

    In the western city of Kushtia, protesters vandalised the house of a leader of Hasina’s Awami League party, Mahbubul Alam Hanif.

    In Chittagong, protesters held a torch procession and smashed a mural of Sheikh Mujibur Rahman.

    There has been no formal comment on the wave of attacks from the interim government, and security forces stood by allowing protesters to storm the buildings.

    A private security guard in the neighbourhood said he had called the fire service more than a dozen times fearing that the flames would spread to nearby buildings crowded with families.

    “We cut off the electricity line ourselves,” Jamal Uddin said. “I don’t know when the situation will return to normal.”

    A shopkeeper living near Rahman’s former home said he was worried at the chaos.

    “This vandalism is not a good sign,” he said, asking not to be named as he was fearful of reprisal for speaking out.

    Girl who ran away from home found dead after returning back

    A girl who ran away from her home was found dead soon after her parents brought her back to their house in Rawalpindi. 

    A police official posted at the Jatli police station in the garrison city reported that a 17-year-old college student had been reported missing from her home in Syed Kasran. Her father and uncles eventually found her at Syed Adda and brought her back home. 

    Reports of the girl being killed by her family spread in the area when the girl was found dead at home and quickly buried around 2 pm on the same day. 

    A senior police official confirmed to DAWN that the matter is being investigated while a request will be filed in court to attain permission for the exhumation of the body. Legal proceedings will be initiated once an autopsy report has been filed. 

    One week ago, police exhumed the body of a 21-year-old girl that bore signs of sexual assault and poisoning. Four people were arrested in the case where police suspect that the orphaned girl’s brother-in-law had been raping her for a long time.

    Police arrest stalker who used 70 sims to harass girl

    Lahore police have arrested a male employee of the transport department for stalking a girl since seven months. 

    The girl, a student at a local university, blocked 70 numbers that the man, a motor vehicle examiner at the transport department, used to call her from. 

    She filed a case in Misri Shah against the harassment and black mailing. DIG Operations Faisal Kamran then formed a task force which immediately swung into action and arrested the stalker. 

    The student had alleged that the man was well-connected and had no fear of the law. Police have reportedly attained enough evidence to verify that the girls’ claims are true. 

    DIG Operations Faisal Kamran told the police that the case was immediately attended to under Chief Minister Punjab Maryam Nawaz’s zero-tolerance policy of crime against women. 

    He pointed out that trained units had been established in educational institutions to combat harassment while women can also complain instantly through emergency helplines and Women Safety App.
