Tunisia court sentences Sonia Dhamani, a lawyer critical of the president, to 2 years
TUNIS (Reuters) -A Tunisian court on Monday sentenced Sonia Dhamani, a prominent lawyer and critical voice of President Kais Saied, to two years, lawyer Bassam Trifi said.
Dhamani's lawyers withdrew from the trial after the judge refused to adjourn the session, claiming Dhamani was being tried twice for the same act.
The court sentenced Dhamani for statements criticizing practices against migrants from sub-Saharan Africa.

Thai Constitutional Court to weigh petition seeking PM's dismissal
FILE PHOTO: A general view of the parliament in Bangkok, Thailand, July 13, 2023. REUTERS/Athit Perawongmetha/File Photo BANGKOK (Reuters) -Thailand's Constitutional Court was due to meet on Tuesday to consider a petition seeking the dismissal of Prime Minister Paetongtarn Shinawatra, as pressure mounts on a government battling to survive and under fire on multiple fronts. The petition by 36 senators accuses Paetongtarn of dishonesty and breaching ethnical standards in violation of the constitution over a leaked telephone conversation with Cambodia's influential former leader Hun Sen. If the court accepts the case, it could decide to suspend the premier from duty with immediate effect. During a June 15 call intended to defuse escalating border tensions with Cambodia, Paetongtarn, 38, kowtowed before Hun Sen and criticised a Thai army commander, a red line in a country where the military has significant clout. She has apologised and said her remarks were a negotiating tactic. The leaked conversation triggered outrage and has left Paetongtarn's coalition with a razer-thin majority, with a key party abandoning the alliance and expected to soon seek a no confidence vote in parliament, as thousands of demonstrators demand the premier resigns. Paetongtarn's battles after only 10 months in power underline the declining strength of the Pheu Thai Party, the populist juggernaut of the billionaire Shinawatra dynasty that has dominated Thai electionssince 2001, enduring military coups and court rulings that have toppled multiple governments and prime ministers. It has been a baptism of fire for political novice Paetongtarn, who came to office abruptly as Thailand's youngest premier and replacement for Srettha Thavisin, who was dismissed by the Constitutional Court for violating ethics by appointing a minister who was once jailed. Paetongtarn's government has also been struggling to revive a stuttering economy and her popularity has declined sharply, with a June 19-25 opinion poll released at the weekend showing her approval rating sinking to 9.2% from 30.9% in March. Paetongtarn is not alone in her troubles, with influential father Thaksin Shinawatra, the driving force behind her government, facing legal hurdles of his own in two different courts this month. Divisive tycoon Thaksin has his first hearing at Bangkok's Criminal Court on Tuesday in a case centred on allegations he insulted Thailand's powerful monarchy, a serious offence punishable by up to 15 years in prison if found guilty. He denies the charges and has repeatedly pledged allegience to the crown. The case stems from a 2015 media interview Thaksin gave while in self-imposed exile, from which he returned in 2023 to serve a prison sentence for conflicts of interest and abuse of power. Thaksin, 75, dodged jail and spent six months in hospital detention on medical grounds before being released on parole in February last year. The Supreme Court will this month scrutinise that hospital stay and could potentially send him back to jail. (Reporting by Panu Wongcha-um and Panarat Thepgumpanat; Editing by Martin Petty)

Trump blames AT&T for tech issues in a call with faith leaders

REUTERS/Carlos Barria/File Photo WASHINGTON (Reuters) -U.S. President Donald Trump on Monday blamed AT&T for technical issues in a conference call he held with American faith leaders and urged the wireless carrier's boss to handle the situation. The president also said his administration may use another carrier's service in other calls. "I'm doing a major Conference Call with Faith Leaders from all over the Country, and AT&T is totally unable to make their equipment work properly," Trump wrote on social media about the call on Monday. "This is the second time it's happened. If the Boss of AT&T, whoever that may be, could get involved — It would be good. There are tens of thousands of people on the line!" AT&T said on X it had reached out to the White House and was working to "understand and assess the situation." Trump did not elaborate on the specifics of the issue. In a subsequent post, Trump apologized to faith leaders for what he described as a long wait on the conference call. "We may have to reschedule the call, but we'll use another carrier the next time," Trump said. AT&T shares pared gains very briefly after Trump's post then recovered. During his first White House term, Trump criticized the company, which at the time owned CNN, about the news channel's coverage of his administration. Earlier this month, Trump's family business licensed its name to launch a U.S. mobile service and a $499 smartphone, calling it Trump Mobile, in a deal brokered by the president's children.

Suspect in deadly Idaho firefighters ambush identified, motive a mystery
FILE PHOTO: Law enforcement officers gather at Cherry Hill Park after multiple firefighters were attacked when responding to a fire in the Canfield Mountain area outside Coeur d'Alene, Idaho, U.S. June 29, 2025. REUTERS/Young Kwak/File Photo (Reuters) -The man who shot dead two firefighters and wounded a third after setting a blaze near a popular mountainside trail in Idaho was described by authorities on Monday as a young transient whose motives remained a mystery a day after the attack. Kootenai County Sheriff Bob Norris identified the suspected gunman in Sunday's attack as Wess Roley, 20, who was found dead at the scene of an apparent self-inflicted gun wound. Authorities have not identified the two firefighters who were shot and killed, nor have they given the name of a third firefighter who was shot and survived. Roley had some sort of interaction with the firefighters he shot and killed when they arrived on the scene of the fire, Norris said, though he provided no details on what occurred. The suspect was known to have expressed interest in becoming a firefighter himself, the sheriff said. Norris said that Roley, who was born in California, had been living for the past year in Coeur d'Alene, about 260 miles (420 km) east of Seattle, where the shooting took place at Canfield Mountain, a nature area popular with hikers and bikers. Over 300 law enforcement officers responded to the scene on Sunday. Early reports indicated there were multiple shooters attacking firefighters. But Norris on Monday said it appeared that Roley acted alone and that he had no known connection to any sort of group that may have motivated the violence. The sheriff said that Roley had no known criminal record. Local police had five recent minor and non-violent interactions with Roley, who appeared to be living out of his vehicle and whom officers during those interactions had told to move from spots where he was parked and residing. On Sunday, Norris said they believed Roley was armed with at least one rifle. But on Monday he said that the weapon recovered near Roley's body at the crime scene was a shotgun. "We know that some rifled slugs were used, and a rifled slug is a pretty big projectile," Norris said, adding that investigators were still trying to determine if other weapons were involved. When firefighters responded to the blaze on Sunday afternoon, they came under fire almost immediately, Norris said. When police officers and sheriff's deputies arrived later, they, too, came under fire from trees that Roley had apparently climbed and shot from. Scores of officers from the city, county, state and federal level responded, including two helicopters with snipers aboard. The suspect was located using cellphone information and his body was removed by a SWAT team as the fire approached. Gun ownership is widespread in the U.S., where the Constitution protects the rights of Americans to "keep and bear arms." Deaths related to gun violence are common - 17,927 people were murdered with a gun in 2023 in the U.S., according to the most recent available data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
