UN Puts Israel 'On Notice' Over Sexual Abuse of Detained Palestinians by Armed Forces
United Nations Secretary General Antonio Guterres has warned Israel it could land on the UN's blacklist of offenders accused of sexual violence in armed conflict. The warning, sent in a letter to Israel's UN ambassador Danny Danon, cites reports of abuse against Palestinian detainees in prisons, a detention centre, and a military base. Documented Abuse Allegations According to Guterres, UN monitors have documented patterns of abuse — including genital violence, prolonged forced nudity, and repeated degrading strip searches. He said these patterns raise 'significant concerns' and urged Israel to take immediate steps to stop all sexual violence and allow UN investigators access. Israel and Hamas Both Named Israel denies the allegations and access to UN monitors, calling the claims baseless. Danon said the UN should focus instead on the 'war crimes and sexual violence of Hamas.' Hamas has also been listed in the UN report for alleged sexual violence during the October 7, 2023 attacks and against hostages. Hamas officials rejected the claims. Wider UN Warnings The letter also revealed similar warnings issued to Russia over alleged sexual violence against Ukrainian prisoners of war in both official and unofficial detention facilities.

Dubai: 3 women arrested for performing illegal cosmetic procedures at apartment
The Dubai Police have arrested three women for illegally practicing medicine and carrying out cosmetic procedures without a licence in a residential apartment. Authorities said the operations posed serious risks to public safety and breached the UAE's laws. The Anti-Economic Crime Department made the arrests in cooperation with the Dubai Health Authority (DHA). The police said they received a tip-off about suspicious activities at the apartment. After confirming the information, officers carried out a raid, seizing medical equipment and unlicensed medications. The suspects have been referred to the public prosecution for legal action. Officials warned that performing medical and cosmetic work in unlicensed locations endangers the health and safety of clients. Dubai Police urged residents to seek treatment only from licensed facilities, verify the credentials of service providers, and avoid offers that could put their lives at risk. The public was also encouraged to report illegal medical activities through the 'Police Eye' service or by calling 901. Dubai Police reaffirmed their commitment to fighting unlicensed medical practices and enhancing community safety.

Iran catches 21,000 suspects in security net during 12-day war with Israel, police say
Iran 's police arrested 21,000 people during Israel's 12-day war in June, according to state media, part of a campaign by Tehran to tackle Israeli espionage. Police spokesman Saeed Montazeralmahdi said that members of the public helped by reporting their suspicions to the authorities, Mehr news agency reported. More than 260 people were detained on suspicion of spying while 172 were arrested for unauthorised use of video cameras and phones, Mr Montazeralmahdi said. Iran last week executed a man convicted of spying for Israel. Roozbeh Vadi had passed on details of a nuclear scientist killed by Israel during the 12-day war, prosecutors said. He was found to have transferred sensitive information to a contact at meetings in Vienna and was paid with cryptocurrency, they said. Israeli intelligence officials openly bragged about how easily Iran could be infiltrated. Iran regularly announces executions of people convicted of working for foreign intelligence services. In June, Tehran executed three Kurdish men convicted of aiding Mossad in the 2020 assassination of nuclear scientist Mohsen Fakhrizadeh. After Israel attacked Iran on June 13, Tehran pledged swift trials for suspects and has announced several executions for espionage. Israel's surprise attack targeted Iranian generals, nuclear enrichment sites and scientists, and air defences. Iran retaliated by launching missile and drone attacks at Israel. Fighting stopped after US President Donald Trump announced a ceasefire on June 24. Israel's strikes killed nearly 1,100 people in Iran, while Iranian strikes killed 28 people in Israel.
