May 9 riots: Omar, Shibli among over 100 convicted by ATC
FAISALABAD: An anti-terrorism court on Thursday sentenced more than 100 members of jailed former Prime Minister Imran Khan's party to prison terms on charges related to riots that targeted military sites in 2023, a court order said. Fifty-eight of the defendants, who included parliamentarians and senior officials, were sentenced to 10 years in prison and the rest were given sentences ranging from one to three years, the court said. The accused include Omar Ayub Khan and Shibli Faraz, the leaders of Khan's opposition Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf party (PTI) in the lower and upper houses of parliament respectively, the court order seen by Reuters read. 'The prosecution has proved its case against the accused without a shadow of doubt,' it said in announcing the sentences. Khan, who has been in prison since 2023 facing charges of corruption, land fraud and disclosure of official secrets, is being tried separately on similar charges related to the riot. The government accuses him and other leaders of inciting the May 9, 2023, protests, during which demonstrators attacked military and government buildings, including the army headquarters in Rawalpindi. He denies wrongdoing and says all the cases are politically motivated as part of a military-backed crackdown to dismantle his party. The military denies it. Khan's arrest had prompted the countrywide violent protests. Thursday's ruling does not directly affect the incitement case against him in which prosecution is still presenting witnesses. The PTI party said it will challenge the verdict. The ruling is the third such mass conviction this month; Khan's party says they have included at least 14 of its parliamentarians. They will lose their seats in parliament under Pakistani laws, which will shred Khan's opposition party's strength. Another 77 were acquitted for lack of evidence in the latest verdict, which is linked to an attack on the office of an intelligence agency in eastern city of Faisalabad, the court said. The party plans new protests starting on August 5, the second anniversary of Khan's jailing, to demand his release. Reuters INP adds: A special anti-terrorism court (ATC) in Faisalabad sentenced several Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) leaders — including Omar Ayub, Shibli Faraz, and Zartaj Gul — to 10 years in prison over their involvement in cases related to the May 9, 2023, violence. Strict security arrangements were made both inside and outside the court to avoid any untoward incidents. In the case related to the attack on a sensitive institution, the court awarded punishments to 108 out of 185 accused, while the rest were acquitted. The court sentenced Omar Ayub, Shibli Faraz, and Zartaj Gul to 10 years in prison. Member of the National Assembly Sahibzada Hamid Raza was also sentenced to 10 years in jail. Junaid Afzal Sahi received a 3-year prison sentence, which is the shortest sentence given by the court. The Faisalabad ATC acquitted Fawad Chaudhry, and Zain Qureshi, the son of Shah Mahmood Qureshi and 75 others in the cases. In a separate case registered at Ghulam Muhammadabad Police Station, the court sentenced 60 individuals, while 7 of the 67 accused were acquitted.

Woman dies on bus with iPhones glued to her body
A new plant making iPhones in southern India has started production and another will begin shipments in May. Photo: Reuters A 20-year-old woman died under mysterious circumstances during a bus ride in Brazil, with authorities discovering 26 iPhones glued directly to her skin. The bizarre incident unfolded as she travelled alone from Foz do Iguaçu to São Paulo, a long-distance route often scrutinised for smuggling activity. The woman reportedly began feeling unwell when the bus stopped at a restaurant in Guarapuava, Paraná. Emergency services were called after she complained of difficulty breathing. Paramedics from the Mobile Emergency Care Service (SAMU) treated her on-site and attempted resuscitation for 45 minutes. Despite their efforts, she was declared dead at the scene. While treating her, medics found tightly wrapped packages on her body, later revealed to be 26 iPhones affixed directly to her skin using some kind of adhesive. No drugs were detected by sniffer dogs, but authorities seized bottles of alcohol found in her luggage. Her identity has not been disclosed. Police from multiple agencies, including the Military Police, Civil Police, and Scientific Police, are now involved. Forensic teams have been deployed, and the seized phones were handed over to the Federal Revenue Service as part of the smuggling investigation. Authorities await toxicology and forensic reports to determine the official cause of death. The woman's mode of transport and concealed cargo strongly point to an illicit smuggling operation, although it remains unclear whether she was coerced or knowingly involved. The unusual nature of the concealment method, with the phones glued directly to her body, has only deepened public speculation around the case. The investigation is ongoing, and officials say further details will be released once the forensic analysis is complete.

M23 rebels kill 169 civilians in eastern Congo, says UN
M23 rebels stand guard in the city of Goma in the Democratic Republic of Congo on April 7, 2025. PHOTO: REUTERS Listen to article An M23 rebel attack on farmers and other civilians in east Democratic Republic of Congo killed 169 people earlier this month, a UN body told Reuters, in what would be one of the deadliest incidents since the Rwanda-backed group's resurgence. M23 leader Bertrand Bisimwa told Reuters it would investigate but the report could be a "smear campaign". The UN rights body's account has not been previously reported and emerged as US President Donald Trump's administration pushes for peace between Congo and Rwanda that it hopes will unlock billions in mineral investments. Reuters has not been able to independently confirm the killings but a local activist cited witnesses as describing M23 combatants using guns and machetes to kill scores of civilians. The M23 and Congolese government have pledged to work towards peace by August 18 after the rebels this year seized more territory than ever before in fighting that has killed thousands and displaced hundreds of thousands more. According to findings by the UN Joint Human Rights Office (UNJHRO), which monitors Congo, the M23 operation that led to the farmers' killings began on July 9 in the Rutshuru territory of North Kivu province. It targeted suspected members of the Democratic Forces for the Liberation of Rwanda (FDLR), a Congo-based group that includes remnants of Rwanda's former army and militias that carried out the 1994 Rwandan genocide, UNJHRO said. "Civilians, mainly farmers temporarily camping in their fields for the ploughing season, have been attacked. The human toll has been particularly high: at least 169 people have been killed," UNJHRO said in findings shared by Reuters. The victims were "far from any immediate support or protection," UNJHRO said, citing credible information from several independent sources. In response, M23's Bisimwa said the group had been notified about UNJHRO's findings in a letter and would form a commission to investigate the unconfirmed accusations. "We believe that before imposing sanctions, the facts must first be established by verifying their actual existence through an investigation," he said. "This rush to publish unverified information is propaganda whose purpose is known only to the United Nations Joint Human Rights Office," he said, adding that the allegations could be part of a "smear campaign" by Congolese employees of UNJHRO. UNJHRO is made up of the human rights division of Congo's UN peacekeeping mission and the former office of the UN high commissioner for human rights in Congo. It has both Congolese and foreign staff members. Hutu farmers targeted The activist in Rutshuru, who did not want to be named for safety reasons, told Reuters the M23 combatants killed more than 100 civilians, mostly Congolese Hutu farmers. The victims had initially fled when M23 advanced on the territory, but they returned after M23 promised them safety, the activist said. UN human rights chief Volker Turk said last month that M23, Congo's army and allied militias had all committed abuses in eastern Congo, many of which may amount to war crimes. Rwanda has long denied helping M23 and says its forces act in self-defence against Congo's army and ethnic Hutu militiamen linked to the 1994 Rwandan genocide, including the FDLR. A report by a group of United Nations experts published this month said Rwanda exercised command and control over M23 and was backing the group in order to conquer territory in east Congo. A government spokesperson said at the time that the report misrepresented Rwanda's security worries related to the FDLR and affiliated groups. The spokesperson, Yolande Makolo, did not respond to a request for comment about UNJHRO's findings. Persistent violence in eastern Congo threatens Trump's vision for the region, which has been plagued by war for decades and is rich in minerals including gold, cobalt, coltan, tungsten and tin. A peace agreement signed on June 27 in Washington by the Congolese and Rwandan foreign ministers requires Congo to "neutralise" the FDLR as Rwanda withdraws from Congolese territory. Both the Congolese operations against the FDLR and the Rwandan withdrawal were supposed to have started on Sunday, though it is unclear what progress has been made. They have three months to conclude. Congolese government spokesperson Patrick Muyaya told Reuters the killings in Rutshuru demonstrate that M23 is a destabilising force incapable of bringing security. Kinshasa wants a peace deal that will allow for the restoration of its authority in the region, Muyaya said.
