By 1025 0

Russian doctors have said that Alexie Navalny, the prime critic of Russian supremo Vladimir Putin – who was hospitalised recently after he had fell ill during a flight to Moscow – was too ill to be taken outside the country for better treatment, paving a space for his supporters to cry foul in the present decision of the doctors to keep him insider the country – which is under the absolute control of the autocrat against whom the victim has stood all through his political career.

A statement made by a doctor who is in the team which treats the victim that there is no sign of a poison attack proves that there are valid reasons to pay attention to the allegations made against the country by the supporters of the injured critic.

As per the latest bulletin released by the team of doctors which treats the injured, Mr. Navalny has not recovered from the state of coma.

It is high time to launch an international campaign to make sure that the injured receives proper treatment in his country.

The longer it takes to get him out of the country, the shorter it becomes the chance of finding the exact reason why he fell ill.

By 1018 0

The custodial death of a man in Belgian – who was arrested from an airport in the country – has drawn parallels with the custodial death of a black man in the North American country of the United States of America.

He was arrested minutes after he was caught from the port.

A video, in connection with how he has been treated in the custody of the Belgian police, has been released in several social media platforms.

In some of those videos, it is seen that he was mistreated by the police officials. It is clear that he was taken to hospital much after he fell unconscious after banking his head on the wall of the cell where he was placed.

An urgent investigation is needed in the issue. It is unclear how a person in the police custody has been found with this kind of injuries in his head.

Many have already voiced their concern about the death of the man. The wife of the deceased person has demanded a fresh inquiry into this matter.

It is the first time in the recent history such an incident has been reported from the European country of Belgian.

Verdict soon in murder case of former Lebanese PM

By 974 0

A special court set up in the Netherlands to handle the murder case of former Lebanese Prime Minister Rafik Hariri is expected to announce its verdict on the case in the near future.

Originally, there were five accused in the case. One of them, who was a senior commander in Hezbollah, died in the year 2016.

The rest of them has been tried in absentia.

Lawyer who have appeared for the accused have defended their clients, saying that the case was based purely on circumstantial evidence and there was nothing to prove the involvement of their clients in the case beyond the scope of doubt.

The whereabouts of the accused have not yet been released by the court. At present, only their names have been publicised.

The incident actually took place in the year 2005. It has taken almost fifteen years for the court to wind-up its procedure.

The son of the deceased ex-PM, who was also an ex-PM, is expected to attend the court on the day it announces its verdict over the case.

The timing of this verdict is important. The murder of Mr. Hariri was the one which changed the course of the verdict. Now, at the time the Lebanese government is facing its biggest crisis triggered by a surprise bomb blast in the capital city, the verdict may prove as an additional burden over the already embattled government.
