Erdogan rushed to the hospital in Turkey. Lots of rumors around, but most of the better sources seem to indicate he had a medical emergency of some sort.

but most of the better sources seem to indicate he had a medical emergency of some sort.

That does tend to be why people get rushed to the hospital.

No no you don't understand, it was necessary to silence opponents of the governing body otherwise all of Twitter in the country would collapse at once.

Guatemala releases former military generals who had kidnapped a 14 year old boy, then raped his sister.

It’s not the first time that Guatemala authorities have disregarded rulings by the court - they’ve been condemned for it 14 times before. The original 2018 sentencing of the men actually came about as a result of a 2004 condemnation by the rights court, which rebuked decades of impunity in a case centered around the forced disappearance and aggravated rape of members of the Molina Theissen family.

But it’s the first case Guatemala authorities have done so in a situation that involves releasing prisoners already convicted of serious crimes. It also comes as watchdogs warn of deteriorating democracy and a growing embrace of authoritarian tendencies in Central America. In Guatemala, critics have gone as far as accusing elites of trying to “hijack Guatemala’s justice system” for political benefit.

The military officials winning out from the appeals court decision are Francisco Luis Gordillo Martínez, Manuel Antonio Callejas y Callejas and Manuel Benedicto Lucas García.

In 2018, the men were sentenced to between 33 and 58 years in prison for crimes against humanity, the forced disappearance of a 14-year-old boy and the violent rape of his sister.

I thought Rishi Sunak was PM now?

[Cantih]

Rishi is PM.
Boris was still a MP, but not a PM.
Boris is now no longer a MP.
