Mohsen Langarneshin is accused of being ‘senior spy’ for Mossad, but human rights groups say he was innocent
Iran has executed a 36-year-old man it accused of helping the Mossad, Israel’s foreign intelligence agency, kill a senior officer in the Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps in Tehran in 2022.
Iranian state media said Mohsen Langarneshin was hanged, the usual method of execution in Iran, at Ghezel Hesar prison early on Wednesday morning.
Langarneshin’s family and human rights groups insisted the former IT consultant was innocent of the charges against him and that any reported confessions were obtained by torture or blackmail.
How secure is Germany's critical infrastructure?
Spain and Portugal experienced a devastating blackout. Could this happen in Germany, too? What will the next German government do to better protect critical infrastructure?
No traffic lights, no trains, no ATMs, no internet. The massive power outage this Monday, mainly in Spain and Portugal, paralyzed life across the affected countries. It is not yet clear what caused it and a cyber attack has not been completely ruled out.
In Germany, authorities have been making reassuring statements.
"A large-scale, long-lasting blackout is unlikely in Germany," said the responsible Federal Network Agency.
Elon Musk's tweets (1/2): A conduit for pro-Russian anti-Ukraine rhetoric
Elon Musk has become one of the most fervent critics of Ukraine and President Volodymyr Zelensky online, especially on X, the platform he owns. To better understand Musk’s messaging about the Ukrainian war, the FRANCE 24 Observers team worked with RTBF and France Info to analyse some 15,000 of Musk’s tweets, published over a period of five months after the US election. This article is the first installment of a two-part digital investigation into Musk’s activities on X.
On October 2, 2023, more than a year before Donald Trump’s re-election, Elon Musk shared a meme on his social media platform X that mocked Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, depicting him as a petulant teen.
“When it’s been 5 minutes and you haven’t asked for a billion dollars in aid,” reads the text on the image, showing Zelensky looking sulky.
The caricature is meant to mock Ukraine’s requests for financial assistance from the United States to help with the war in Ukraine, requests which Musk believes are too frequent and too demanding.
Pakistani mother, Indian son: Post-Kashmir attack, they can’t live together
Mothers have been forced to leave their children behind, the colour of their passport — blue for Indians, green for Pakistanis — their only identity now.
It was time to say goodbye. Standing under the searing sun, Saira, wearing a black net burqa, tightly held her husband Farhan’s hand, trying to stay together for a few more moments at the main border checkpoint between India and Pakistan.
Named after Attari village on the Indian side and Wagah across the border, this crossing has for years served as one of the few gateways for people to travel between the neighbours. But the Attari-Wagah border is now the latest place where India and Pakistan divide their citizens, including thousands of families with some members who are Indian, and others Pakistani.
