Japanese Ambassador visits Ayodhya, offers prayers at Ram Janmabhoomi temple
New Delhi: Keiichi Ono, the Ambassador of Japan to India and Bhutan, on Saturday visited Ayodhya, offering prayers at the Ram Janmabhoomi temple. 'Witnessed cultural and spiritual significance at Shri Hanuman Garhi Temple and Shri Ram Janmabhoomi Temple in Ayodhya. Extend my respectful greetings to them for their gracious welcome,' the Japanese envoy posted on X after the visit. Spotlighting the diplomat's visit, the Uttar Pradesh government mentioned that Ayodhya continues to reflect the spiritual and cultural soul of India. 'The visit of Mr. Ono Keiichi, Ambassador of Japan to India, to Shri Hanuman Garhi and Shri Ram Janmabhoomi highlights Uttar Pradesh's growing global recognition as a spiritual and cultural capital,' the government stated. On Friday evening, the Japanese Ambassador called on Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath, holding a 'fruitful meeting and meaningful discussion' at the CM's residence in Lucknow. 'Concurred with Yogi Adityanath for Japan-UP cooperation in investment, technologies, human-resource development and tourism. Look forward to working with CM Yogi by putting the right eye of the daruma doll as a promise of our collaboration: the left will be put when it comes true,' Ono said. Driven by shared values and economic opportunities, India and Japan continue to explore further potential for deeper bilateral cooperation. Tokyo's relationship with India is deepening in a wide range of areas, including security, economic and development cooperation. At the same time, people-to-people exchanges have also increased tremendously with more potential for future development.

Families of detained French nationals in Iran reveal they have been moved to secret locations after Evin prison bombing
Tehran/Paris, July 5 (UNI) France has once again demanded the release of two nationals who have been held in Iran on espionage charges since 2022, calling the allegations baseless. The couple -- Cécile Kohler and Jacques Paris -- were reportedly moved to unknown locations after surviving explosions at Tehran's Evin prison during Israeli strikes on June 23, according to their families. 'Iranian authorities don't tell (us) where they are being held,' Cécile's sister Noémie told Iran International yesterday. Noémie said that since the Israeli strike, they have had only one consular visit, on July one, when the family was relieved to learn that they were "at least still alive.' She said that the couple had been held in Ward 209 — which operates under the oversight of Iran's Intelligence\\\\\\\\\\\\ Ministry — at the time of the strike, and that they had remained there for more than three years. 'They were held in Ward 209 for more than three years,' she said. 'They were in solitary confinement for several months.' The Ward has been called a 'prison within a prison' by the Human Rights Watch, with the whole area being exempt from judicial oversight, subjecting prisoners to long periods of arbitrary solitary confinement, denial of consular access and extremely harsh punishment – even torture. The couple were moved shortly after the blasts. 'We understood (Cécile) was transferred to Qarchak prison,' Noémie said. 'She was transferred to Qarchak prison for 24 hours. Then, she was transferred to an undisclosed place — she was blindfolded so she doesn't know where she is being held right now.' 'Jacques was transferred to an undisclosed location right after the bombings,' she added. The family has not had direct contact with either of them since May 28. Noémie said Iranian authorities recently charged the couple with 'spying for Israel,' 'conspiracy to overthrow the regime,' and 'corruption on Earth' — charges that carry the death penalty under Iranian law. 'We don't have more specific information. We only know a judge told them the charges,' she said. She further said the couple is not allowed independent legal representation and that 'nobody has access to their case file.' France has blasted the detention, calling it 'hostage diplomacy.' The Iranian military, more specifically the IRGC, has a history of arbitrary detentions of foreign nationals, in particular Western nationals, which France along with other European nations say has been Iran's policy of pressuring Western countries.
