Survivor Of Israel’s Attack On Iran’s Evin Prison Describes A ‘Slow Death’ After 12-Day War

Sayeh Seydal, a jailed Iranian dissident, narrowly escaped death when Israeli missiles struck Tehran’s Evin Prison, where she was held. She had just stepped out of the prison’s clinic moments before it was destroyed. The June 23 strikes on Iran’s most notorious prison for political dissidents killed at least 71 people, including staff, soldiers, visiting family members and people living nearby, Iranian judiciary spokesman Asghar Jahangir said Sunday. In the ensuing chaos, authorities transferred Seydal and others to prisons outside Tehran — overcrowded facilities known for their harsh conditions. When she was able to call her family several days ago, Seydal...

Mexican Authorities Find 383 Bodies At A Ciudad Juarez Crematorium

An anonymous call led Mexican authorities in the border city of Ciudad Juarez to a chilling discovery at a crematorium: 383 bodies and the partial remains of six other people. Chihuahua state prosecutor César Jáuregui said Monday that the people had been dead for at least three or four years. “Who knows what the ulterior motive of these subjects was, because storing that number also makes you think they weren’t providing the service,” he said. Authorities did not yet know why so many bodies had been stored at the crematorium, which worked with six funeral homes in the city. The...

 US Judge Orders Argentina To Turn Over Its Majority Stake In State Oil Company

 US Judge Orders Argentina To Turn Over Its Majority Stake In State Oil Company

 The fate of Argentina’s state-run oil company was thrown into doubt Monday as a U.S. judge ordered the cash-strapped country to give up its 51% controlling stake in YPF in partial compensation for seizing the shares of former investors during its 2012 nationalization of the energy group. The ruling — a dramatic effort to enforce a $16 billion U.S. court judgement against Argentina — presents a new headache for libertarian President Javier Milei, the ideological foil for left-wing former President Cristina Fernández de Kirchner who oversaw Argentina’s contentious takeover of YPF and ensuing legal battles during her tenure (2007-2015). Milei vowed to appeal the...
