Belgian authorities probe Canadian woman's death at Tomorrowland
The Antwerp prosecutor's office confirmed they are working to determine the cause of death of the 35-year-old attendee, who was among tens of thousands present on the festival's opening night.
Organisers stated the woman became unwell during the event in Boom, near Antwerp, and received immediate first aid before being taken to hospital, where she later passed away.
'This morning, we were saddened to learn of her death. Our thoughts are with her family, friends, and loved ones,' said Tomorrowland spokeswoman Debby Wilmsen.
The festival, featuring top DJs like David Guetta and Charlotte de Witte, attracts electronic music fans globally, with around 400,000 attendees expected over two weekends.
The event faced uncertainty earlier this week after a fire destroyed its main stage, but organisers quickly arranged an alternative setup to proceed as scheduled. - AFP

Edison Chen caught in public argument, a month after flight attendant clash
Hong Kong actor Edison Chen was seen arguing with a traveller who had allegedly shoved him at an airport in Shanghai. Photos: Edison Chen/Instagram, Xiaohongshu Just a month after reports surfaced of Edison Chen clashing with a flight attendant, the Hong Kong actor has once again found himself in another heated exchange at an airport in Shanghai. A netizen who witnessed the scene claimed that the 44-year-old got into an argument with a fellow traveller who had allegedly shoved him from behind. The altercation occurred near the security checkpoint around 7am on July 21. 'Ran into one of my favourite stars from my younger days, and it was during an awkward moment. He was pushed by a person behind him, and they got into an argument. Even the police had to get involved,' the netizen wrote on Xiaohongshu. Accompanying the post was a video clip showing Chen looking visibly upset, with his hands tucked in his pockets. The Infernal Affairs star stood next to a woman who could be seen speaking with authorities. 'In situations like this, all you can do is watch from afar. Celebrities are also ordinary people who deserve their space. I hope the issue gets resolved quickly,' the netizen added. For the record, Chen had reportedly threatened to get a flight attendant fired while on a flight between Tokyo and New York on June 1, after a disagreement over disembarkation procedures. According to his management, the Canadian-born actor was in the midst of retrieving his luggage when a passenger behind him began to move forward. When Chen politely asked to finish collecting his belongings first, a flight attendant intervened and said the other passenger could disembark first, citing his top-tier Diamond status. Chen, who reportedly held the same status, was left confused by the exchange, which ultimately led to the altercation.

Ukraine arrests top cybercrime forum admin with French-Europol aid
PARIS: A key administrator of a prominent Russian-language cybercrime forum, has been detained in Ukraine through a joint operation involving French law enforcement and Europol. The Paris prosecutor's office confirmed the arrest on Wednesday, marking a significant breakthrough in a long-running investigation. Industry analysts identify as one of the most enduring dark web platforms. Laure Beccuau, Paris public prosecutor, stated, 'On Tuesday July 22, a person suspected of being the administrator of the Russian-language cybercrime forum was arrested as part of a criminal investigation opened by the Paris public prosecutor's office.' The forum, operational since 2013, served as a central marketplace for cybercriminal activities. Beccuau noted, 'Active since 2013, this forum was one of the main hubs for global cybercrime,' facilitating transactions involving malware, compromised system access, stolen data, and ransomware services. Investigators uncovered that also hosted an encrypted Jabber messaging server, enabling anonymous communication among cybercriminals. The probe began in July 2021 before being escalated to investigating magistrates by November that year. Beccuau added, 'A judicial investigation was opened on November 9, 2021 on charges of complicity in attacks on an automated data processing system, organised extortion, and criminal conspiracy.' Intercepted communications exposed extensive illegal operations, with profits estimated at over $7 million. The arrest was executed by Ukrainian authorities with support from French investigators and Europol. This operation highlights growing cross-border collaboration against cybercrime as attacks on public and private entities surge. - AFP

Retrial opens for S. Korean woman who bit off attempted rapist's tongue
Choi Mal-ja was 19 when she was attacked by a 21-year-old man in the southern town of Gimhae in 1964. - The Korea Herald/ANN SEOUL: A South Korean court reopened a decades-old case on Wednesday (July 23) after the country's #MeToo movement inspired a woman to challenge her conviction for defending herself against sexual violence 61 years ago. Choi Mal-ja was 19 when she was attacked by a 21-year-old man in the southern town of Gimhae in 1964. He pinned her to the ground and forced his tongue into her mouth, court records showed. Choi managed to break free by biting off about 1.5 centimetres (0.6 inches) of his tongue. In one of South Korea's most contentious rulings on sexual violence, the aggressor received only six months in prison, suspended for two years, for trespassing and intimidation -- but not attempted rape. But Choi was convicted of causing grievous bodily harm and handed a 10-month prison sentence, suspended for two years. The court said at the time her action had "exceeded the reasonable bounds of legally permissible self-defence". Choi's case gained renewed momentum decades later after #MeToo movement, which took off globally in 2017 and inspired her to seek justice. In South Korea, massive women's rights protests led to victories on issues ranging from abortion access to tougher penalties for spycam crimes. Choi filed for a retrial in 2020, but lower courts initially rejected her petition. After years of campaigning and an appeal, South Korea's top court finally ordered a retrial in 2024. "For 61 years, the state made me live as a criminal," Choi told reporters outside the Busan District Court ahead of Wednesday's retrial hearing. She said she hoped future generations could "live in a world free from sexual violence where they can enjoy human rights and a happy life". Choi Sun-hye, executive director of the Korea Women's Hotline counselling centre, which supported her case, told AFP that her decision was also meant to "become a source of strength for other victims of sexual violence and correct past wrongs". At the retrial hearing on Wednesday, the prosecution asked the court to clear her of the past conviction, the Busan District Court told AFP. The verdict is expected in September this year. - AFP
