Iran executes man convicted of being spy for Israel: Judiciary
TEHRAN: Iran executed a man on Sunday who was convicted of being an agent for Israel's Mossad spy service, the judiciary said, as the two foes traded fire for a 10th day.
"Majid Mosayebi... was hanged this morning after going through the full process of criminal procedure and after his sentence was confirmed by the Supreme Court," the judiciary's Mizan Online website said.
Mosayebi was accused of seeking to provide "sensitive information... to Mossad."
Iran has carried out multiple arrests of people suspected of spying for Israel since the start of its bombing campaign against the Islamic republic on June 13.
Later Sunday, judiciary spokesman Asghar Jahangir said three people had been arrested in the western province of Kermanshah on allegations of espionage.
The arrests were made thanks to "the rapid presence of the population and their assistance to the intelligence services, law enforcement agencies and judicial officers", he said.
"One of them is said to be a national of a European country," he added, quoted by Mizan.
Jahangir also announced that "special judicial branches would be formed" in provincial prosecutors' offices and courts to handle Israeli-linked espionage cases on an "extraordinary" basis.

12 Malaysians still in Iran, Wisma Putra monitoring closely
SEPANG: At least 12 Malaysians are still in Iran and are being closely monitored by Malaysian authorities following the successful evacuation of its citizens and their dependents over the weekend. Malaysian Ambassador to Iran Khairi Omar, who led the evacuation mission, said the remaining individuals include students and Malaysians married to Iranian nationals, currently residing in various parts of the country including Tehran and Shiraz. "We are keeping track of their whereabouts and ensuring they are safe. "Should the situation permit and they choose to leave, we will assist them," he said during a press conference at Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KLIA) late Sunday night. Khairi had accompanied 24 evacuees, comprising 17 Malaysians, six Iranian dependents, and a Singaporean, who arrived safely in Kuala Lumpur after a gruelling 1,000km overland journey from Tehran to the Turkmenistan border. He said the group spent the night at the border before flying out of Ashgabat, Turkmenistan and transiting in Thailand en route to Malaysia. "We were on the road for over 24 hours. It was a long and challenging journey, but Alhamdulillah, everything went smoothly," he said. Khairi said they decided to use an eastern land route was made to avoid areas of conflict in the west, following heightened tensions due to Israeli strikes on Iranian targets. This, he said, as the evacuation involved multiple checkpoints and long delays due to the high number of foreign nationals also attempting to leave the country, but praised the cooperation from the Iranian and Turkmen authorities in facilitating the border crossing. He added that communication with Malaysians in Iran remained difficult, with roaming services restricted and messaging apps like WhatsApp heavily affected during the conflict. "We made do with old-school SMS messaging, which still worked locally. It wasn't easy, but we managed to stay in contact," he said. Reflecting on the initial days of the conflict, Khairi said the embassy had not anticipated the intensity or speed of the escalation. "Many were caught off guard. The nights were tense with retaliatory strikes, but during the day there seemed to be a pattern of restraint," he said. On Saturday, Foreign Minister Datuk Seri Mohamad Hasan ordered the temporary closure of the Malaysian embassy in Iran, directing embassy staff in the country to return home immediately. Mohamad said that many other foreign missions have done the same following the latest developments in the Middle East involving Israel. The United States announced its entry into the Iran-Israel conflict earlier, stating that it has carried out attacks on three Iranian nuclear sites, including the underground uranium enrichment facility at Fordow.

Hard EU line on migration rose from the ashes of compassion
A DECADE ago, the image of a 3-year-old Syrian boy washed up dead on a Turkish beach prompted an outpouring of emotion and renewed commitments from European governments to take in refugees fleeing Syria's civil war. Alan Kurdi drowned alongside his mother and brother when a rubber dinghy headed for Greece sank off the coast of Turkiye in September 2015. A decade later, thousands of people escaping hardship, conflict and climate disasters still risk their lives on similarly perilous boat journeys to Europe. But the reception they might get has changed. Ten years ago, the European Union vowed to prevent further loss of life at sea. Now, keeping migrants out is the key goal, as governments play to right-leaning voters. Rights groups and experts say the future for these people is becoming even more precarious as the EU looks set to harden restrictions on migration. "For people arriving in Europe, it will become more difficult to access an asylum procedure in the first place and for that procedure to actually assess their claim fairly," Josephine Liebl, head of advocacy at the European Council on Refugees and Exiles, an alliance of non-governmental organisations, said. The arrival of an unprecedented one million refugees in 2015 sparked a crisis in the EU, which over the last decade has attempted to reform its asylum system to ease the burden on frontline states such as Greece and Italy. At the same time, anti-immigrant feeling has gained momentum, encouraged by the rise of the far right. The bloc has also sought to push the problem beyond its borders, making deals with third countries and reinforcing its physical and legal entry points. Even before Kurdi died, a shipwreck that claimed the lives of over 600 people in April 2015 had driven migration to the top of the EU's policy agenda. Then, the bloc's main aims were not far off what they are today: fighting people traffickers, preventing illegal migration and reinforcing solidarity in the bloc. But the EU also pledged emergency aid to frontline states receiving the most refugees and tripled its funding of naval missions to strengthen rescue operations in the Mediterranean. In 2020, when the EU reaffirmed its support to border countries, it emphasised bolstering border guard capabilities — not humanitarian aid. Berna Turam, a researcher at Northeastern University in Boston, said there was "a golden age of solidarity" pre-2019, when compassion outweighed anti-immigrant, populist forces. "The mood changed because of EU policies criminalising people at the borders." In 2016, the EU pledged €3 billion to support Syrians. Then it also poured money into strengthening surveillance tech and support for border agency Frontex. Under a deal that year, Turkiye agreed to take back migrants and refugees who cross irregularly into Greece from its shores. The islands effectively became a holding pen for migrants, barred from advancing their EU asylum claims and restricted to a camp life lived in limbo. "Because these people got confined it suggested they were criminals," said Turam. As the EU continued to enlist the help of non-EU countries, plying North African nations with kit and training to keep migrants out, fear spread — and with it, support for political parties that talked tougher on migration. Across Europe, voters have steadily shifted right. Far-right and populist parties have made gains in Italy, Finland, Croatia, Czech Republic, Sweden, Germany and Austria, as well as in the European Parliament. "It is normal for people to believe that the far right is doing well because of people's immigration positions, but the far-right vote is about economic insecurity and austerity," said Claire Kumar, who researches public attitudes towards migration at think tank ODI Europe. ODI's analysis of the European Social Survey, carried out every two years to measure beliefs across Europe, found attitudes towards migration as a whole were more negative after the 2008 financial crisis than after the 2015 migration crisis. Lawmakers are already proposing harsher policies and considering how to send people back, said Martha Roussou of the International Rescue Committee, a humanitarian aid organisation. "Things will change for the worse," said Roussou.
