      Iran curbs internet access as protests claim 11 lives

      Iran restricted internet access Thursday after days of protests and unrest that have claimed at least 11 lives, following the death of a young woman in the custody of the morality police. Public anger has flared in the Islamic republic over the death last week of 22-year-old Mahsa Amini, who had been detained for allegedly wearing a hijab headscarf in an ‘improper’ way. Activists said the woman, whose Kurdish first name is Jhina, had suffered a fatal blow to the head, a claim denied by officials, who have announced an investigation.

      On exodus at airports, borders after Putin’s order, Kremlin says ‘exaggerated’

      Following Russian President Vladimir Putin announcement on partial mobilisation of the country’s 2 million-strong military reserves amid Moscow’s Ukraine invasion, Kremlin responded to reports of protests in the country against Putin’s call-up. On reports of detained anti-mobilisation protesters being given draft papers, Kremlin said that the move is not against any law, Reuters reported. Putin’s decision which he said was taken “to defend the motherland, its sovereignty and territorial integrity” has resulted in people attempting to flee Russia as the country’s eastern border with Finland saw an upsurge in traffic as well as Russians were reportedly scrambling for flights outside Russia. Kremlin said dismissed reports of exodus on airports and land borders as exaggerated. Putin’s announcement of partial mobilisation came at a time when Russian-controlled…

      Fear and defiance as fighting rages in Myanmar

      Anti-coup fighters in Myanmar patrol the smouldering ruins of a burned village after what they say was a reprisal attack by junta troops struggling to crush resistance to last year’s military coup. Corrugated roofs, support beams and cooking utensils are all that remain amid the ash in the village in northwestern Sagaing – an area which has seen some of the fiercest fighting against the military’s power grab. Rare footage obtained by AFP shows a region wracked by violence, and criss-crossed by junta troops, pro-military militias and anti-coup fighters, where Internet access is regularly cut by authorities. Win Soe said junta troops brought destruction to his village of Tharyarkone, about 100 kilometres west of Myanmar’s second city Mandalay, late last month. “Soldiers…
