The SNP's new Westminster leader has denied plotting to oust his predecessor Ian Blackford. Stephen Flynn was elected group leader on Tuesday after Mr Blackford abruptly announced he was standing down. Several MPs have since resigned from the SNP's front bench team, with Pete Wishart saying he was "bemused" about why Mr Flynn had sought a change. But the 34-year-old told BBC Scotland that he only decided to stand for the job after Mr Blackford's resignation. This is despite the fact he had distanced himself from the role only two weeks earlier, saying he had "no intention of standing" amid rumours that he was "on manoeuvres". Senior SNP MP criticises new Westminster leader Mr Blackford, a close ally of SNP leader and First Minister Nicola Sturgeon, announced last week that he was standing down from the post he had held for five years - but will be staying on as MP for Ross, Skye and Lochaber. This followed months of speculation about his future in the role, which included claims that Mr Flynn was seeking to replace him. Mr Flynn then won a leadership vote against another ally of Ms Sturgeon, the Glasgow Central MP Alison Thewliss. Allies of the new leader say he plans to set up a smaller front-bench team, which they say would allow other MPs to focus on constituency work and campaigning for independence. And three prominent members of the front bench group have already stepped back, with defence spokesman Stewart McDonald and international development spokesman Chris Law joining Mr Wishart, who was its agriculture spokesman. Mr Wishart was the most outspoken in his criticism, writing in his resignation letter to Mr Flynn that he was "bemused as to the reasons why you felt it was necessary to seek a chance in our leadership". He also suggested that the new leader had been "canvassing opinion for a leadership challenge" prior to Mr Blackford's departure. link: https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-scotland-scotland-politics-63922302

Warped amphibian-like fossils in Ireland were likely transformed by superheated fluids that were released as ancient continents crashed into one another around 300 million years ago. Bizarre, mangled fossils in Ireland were likely deformed by superheated fluids that burst out from below Earth's crust around 300 million years ago. The superhot fluids were released when the planet's ancient continents collided together to form the supercontinent Pangaea, a new study shows. The fossils, which mainly consist of a group of amphibian-like tetrapods in the genus Keraterpeton, were discovered in 1866 trapped within a layer of coal at the Jarrow Assemblage, a fossil site in County Kilkenny, southern Ireland. Keraterpeton were palm-size, salamander-shaped creatures with pointed, dragon-like horns, according to University College Cork(opens in new tab) in Ireland. The fossils date back to around 320 million years ago during the Carboniferous period (359 to 299 million years ago). The Jarrow Assemblage fossils all share a unique trait: They've been warped, and large sections of them have been replaced by the surrounding coal. This makes it very hard to distinguish the fossils from their surroundings and tell what the fossils originally looked like. The fossils also contain an unusually high amount of apatite crystals, or phosphate minerals that are found in the bones of most animals, as well as lots of volcanic rocks. Until now, the leading theory on the misshaped fossils was that they were buried in acidic soil, which dissolved most of the bones and enabled coal to take their place. However, in the new study, published Dec. 7 in the journal Paleontology(opens in new tab), researchers analyzed the bones and discovered that the apatite within the bones likely formed 20 million years after the ancient amphibians died — around the time when a super continental smashup was forming Pangaea. "When we look at the chemistry of apatite in the bones from Jarrow we find that this apatite was formed by heated fluids within the Earth," study co-author Gary O’Sullivan(opens in new tab), a paleogeologist at University College Dublin in Ireland, said in a statement(opens in new tab). These superhot fluids were likely released as the ancient continents were moving around and could have transformed the fossils into the warped remains we see today, he added. link: https://www.livescience.com/mangled-fossils-cooked-by-colliding-continents

The upcoming hybridized Chevy Corvette features the same widebody design as the Z06, and it seems it will arrive as soon as summer 2023. The Chevrolet Corvette E-Ray configurator was leaked online Thursday night, before being quickly taken down. The sleuths over at Mid-Engine Corvette Forum and Corvette Blogger spotted the configurator before it got taken down, and were able to grab an assortment of screenshots. The leaked images give us an early glimpse at what we can expect the E-Ray hybrid to look like when it comes to market next summer. Those eagerly anticipating the hybridized version of the Chevrolet Corvette E-Ray are in luck. Images from the Corvette hybrid configurator website leaked Thursday evening, confirming the E-Ray's existence and giving us our first look at the design of the next iteration of the C8 Corvette. The internet sleuths at Mid-Engine Corvette Forum and Corvette Blogger were quick enough to grab a handful of screenshots before the configurator was taken down. Chevy neglected to give outright confirmation to the legitimacy of the configurator, but in a statement to Corvette Blogger said, "Looks like the holidays came early for a few astute Corvette fans. Stay tuned for more." Based on the renderings in the leak, the E-Ray looks to use the same widened body and front end as the Corvette Z06, though with body-color trim in lieu of some black pieces found on the Z06. The rear-quarter panel badge houses a new "ERAY" badge, which can be spotted directly behind the cars side blades. There still aren't any details on specifications for the E-Ray, but there a few other juicy clues that hint at the hybrid's mechanicals. A new "Regen on Demand" button can be seen in the cabin, suggesting that the E-Ray will have adjustable levels of regenerative braking. We still don't know what configuration to expect for the electric motors, or the number of electric motors for that matter. Previous rumors suggested that the E-Ray would be all-wheel drive, with the LT2 V-8 powering the rear wheels and an electric motor powering the fronts. This would likely mean a significant boost in horsepower compared with the Stingray model's 490–495 hp. According to the configurator, we only have to wait until summer 2023 for the answers to these unknowns. link: https://www.caranddriver.com/news/a42200172/2024-corvette-e-ray-hybrid-leaked/

This isn’t a problem of what is and isn’t reasonable, writes advice columnist Eleanor Gordon-Smith, it’s a preference and you’re entitled to it Get our weekend culture and lifestyle email My boyfriend (29) of one and a half years is a wonderful, sweet soul and we have many shared values. I could see myself growing old with him. He occasionally does drugs (cocaine and ecstasy) with his former uni friends. I’ve never even smoked a cigarette and knowing he occasionally does drugs makes me uncomfortable. Even if it’s only at parties every few months, I worry about him having a bad batch and dying. It also feels very immoral due to all the human trafficking in the supply chain. It feels like a deal-breaker issue. I’ve asked if he’d stop using drugs for the sake of our relationship. He said he would if he had children but would likely try them again once the kids are older. I’ve even tried to flag the dangers of bad batches and he’s pointed to the statistics that he’s more likely to be injured horse riding or doing extreme sports. He also feels like I’m imposing my views on to him and asked why I haven’t taken a strong view on him drinking at the weekends. As coarse as it sounds I’d be more comfortable knowing he died paragliding than because of a bad batch of MDMA. Because of his profession, I didn’t ask about drug use early on as I assumed people of a certain profession wouldn’t do recreational drugs. Am I imposing my own views and being unreasonable if I end our relationship because of his drug use? Eleanor says: I think this may be a situation where the currency of reasonableness will only purchase so much. I hear the rational grounds for this preference of yours, particularly the risk of overdose, I truly do. I don’t like to write a great deal about my own life here but believe me that I know how frightening this can be. This is why there are testing kits and wonderful resources to make sure that people who intend to use drugs recreationally are better able to keep themselves educated and safe. French cartoon entitled Velocipedraisiavaporianna, 1818 My wife says pursuing my hobby will end our marriage. Let’s call it, hypothetically, motorcycling Read more However – and I hope you’ll forgive me saying so – it’s difficult to think that concerns about ethics and the possibility of overdose exhaust what’s troubling you here. You also mention you’d be “more comfortable” if he died paragliding (even though he’d be equally dead) and that you’d thought he wouldn’t do drugs as a member of “a certain profession”. In a world where he only did ethically lab-made drugs, in regulated quantities so he’d always be safe, would you then be comfortable? There are some clues in your letter that the answer might be no, and that these reasons aren’t the only things you’re uncomfortable about. Ludwig Wittgenstein said that after we exhaust justification there’s a point where we can say nothing else; we simply hit bedrock and have to say “my spade is turned”. It sounds to me like being uncomfortable with drugs might be a bedrock issue for you. And that’s an OK place to turn your spade. You don’t have to show your working for every feeling; you especially don’t need to make an argument that’s persuasive specifically to him. When others don’t share our strongest preferences, we often alchemise them into objective moral arguments. “I just like reality TV” becomes “you’re snobby for not wanting to watch this with me”; “I just don’t really like staying out late” becomes “some of us have to be up in the morning”. Because these things feel important to us, we can act as though ours is the only reasonable preference, especially when the legitimacy of that preference feels under threat. In fact, though, you are allowed to have things that are just bedrock preferences. You don’t have to like drugs, or be OK with a partner who does. You’re allowed to want a relationship without this asymmetry. There will be big parts of his social life and emotional experience you’re not a part of, and mornings after can be supremely dull, even upsetting, for the sober half of a couple. But it might help to litigate this as a matter of strong preference, instead of an argument with a set of reasonable premises and a conclusion that others should accept. There might turn out to be One True Moral Answer about drugs, but the chances that either of you or your boyfriend have found it are slim. What you have here may just be a matter of preference, but you can treat your preferences as decisive reasons for you to act. Just don’t expect they’ll be decisive for others. Ask us a question Do you have a conflict, crossroads or dilemma you need help with? Eleanor Gordon-Smith will help you think through life’s questions and puzzles, big and small. Questions can be anonymous. link: https://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2022/dec/09/my-boyfriend-occasionally-takes-drugs-is-it-unreasonable-to-end-our-relationship-because-of-it

One of Russia's most prominent opposition figures, Ilya Yashin, has been jailed for eight-and-a-half years for spreading "fake news" about the country's military. One of few Kremlin critics to stay in Russia after it invaded Ukraine, Yashin continued to speak out against the war. He was arrested after he condemned suspected Russian war crimes in the Ukrainian town of Bucha. Soon after the invasion, Russia made reporting "false information" a crime. Several Russians have since been given jail terms, but Yashin's sentence is the longest so far. He denied the charge, but Judge Oksana Goryunova said he had knowingly disseminated fake information about the Russian armed forces. Last April, he had spoken on his YouTube channel about the killing of hundreds of Ukrainian civilians by Russia's occupying forces in Bucha, outside the capital, Kyiv. He told the court that he had given both the official Russian and Ukrainian versions of the story. During the video, he shared images and stories from the scene by the BBC and others. Russia's defence ministry has condemned the accusations as a fabricated "provocation" and images of dead civilians as "staged". Prosecutors had called for a nine-year jail sentence. His lawyer Maria Eismont said they would appeal against the verdict. In a post on the Telegram messaging app, Yashin told supporters there was no reason to be sad: "We told the truth about war crimes and called for an end to the bloodshed." Russia's best-known opposition leader, Alexei Navalny, said the "shameless and lawless verdict by Putin's court will not silence Ilya", describing him as probably the first friend he had made in politics. Moscow politician gets 7 years for denouncing war Putin critic Navalny jailed in trial branded 'sham' Interviewed by BBC Russian in July, Yashin said his arrest had not come as a surprise, as Russian authorities had made clear that there were only two alternatives for Kremlin opponents: emigration or jail. Asked whether he could still challenge Russia's president from prison, he said it was important there were people in the opposition prepared to resist. Speaking outside the court on Friday, Yashin's supporters condemned the jail sentence as unfair and a violation of the right to freedom of speech. link: https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-63915301

The aid worker were kidnapped by suspected ISIS members in April 2018 in Mali. Rabat - Morocco’s intelligence services have helped negotiate the release of German development worker Jorg Lange who had been held hostage in Mali since 2018. German news outlet Spiegel reported the news on Friday, stressing that Lange’s kidnapping is “over after almost four and a half years… the Moroccan secret service in Mali mediated the release of the 63-year-old [worker].” An authorized source confirmed the news to Morocco World News. Lange was taken to the German embassy in Mali's capital Bamako, the news outlet said, noting that the worker is in “good health.” Lange, who worked for the humanitarian organization “HELP,” was kidnapped by a group of people on motorcycles in the Tillaberi region in Niger. Converging reports suspected that ISIS was behind the kidnapping incident. Morocco’s intelligence services are intensively active to counter terrorism and organized crime. The North African country works along with international security partners to halt terrorism in the Sahel, a region that many observers have described as a fertile ground for terrorist groups. Sahel is “home to the world’s fastest-growing and most-deadly terrorist groups,” Morocco’s Foreign Affairs Minister Nasser Bourita said, stressing that the region accounted for 35% of global terrorism deaths in 2021. Terrorism-caused fatalities rose in the region by over 1,000% between 2007-2021. During the same period, sub-Saharan Africa accounted for 48% of global terror deaths. Kidnappings in the Sahel, particularly in Mali, have been making international headlines. In 2020, converging reports made headlines on the kidnapping of an American man in Niger by gunmen on motorbikes. In the same year, men on motorcycles killed six French workers, as well as a local guide and a driver 65 kilometers from Niamey. Kidnappers often ask for million of dollars in ransom for kidnapped victims. link: https://www.moroccoworldnews.com/2022/12/352917/morocco-helps-negotiate-release-of-german-hostage-in-mali

By David Wallace Lockhart Political correspondent A new law is set to be passed by the Scottish Parliament which will simplify the legal process for anyone in Scotland who wants to change their gender. But the signs are that the UK government could refuse to recognise it, causing huge issues for people affected who want to relocate elsewhere in the UK. Since 1998 some laws which apply in Scotland are made by MSPs in Edinburgh, while others are made by MPs at Westminster. Legislation now in the Scottish Parliament will shorten the timescale for anyone who wants to obtain a gender recognition certificate, a document allowing someone to change their gender on their birth certificate. Gender recognition certificates allow people to change certain legal documents, and can affect areas such as entitlement to benefits and pensions. The legislation is currently making its way through the Scottish Parliament and is likely to pass later this month. MSPs vote for changes to gender recognition bill What are the plans for gender reforms in Scotland? SNP minister resigns over gender recognition plans UK government ministers are responsible for the law in this area in England and Wales, and have no plans to move in the same direction as the Scottish government. Legal challenge But they may go further by refusing to recognise documentation issued under the new Scottish system in other parts of the UK. A UK government source close to the process told the BBC this was "absolutely" possible. The Westminster government is also not ruling out the prospect of a legal challenge once the legislation is passed by MSPs. It believes the new law may have an impact on areas where policy is decided in London. Asked if there could be a legal challenge to the Scottish legislation, the source told the BBC "nothing can be ruled out". Scottish government ministers have said they are happy to meet their UK counterparts to discuss their concerns - and officials in Edinburgh said they had tried to set up talks in October, without any response. The SNP-led government believes the bill involves powers held solely in Edinburgh, so the UK government would not have grounds to mount a legal challenge. The UK government's Equalities Secretary Kemi Badenoch has written to the Scottish government expressing concerns about the Scottish legislation, and has offered to meet Scottish ministers to discuss it. 'Nasty Westminster' Our UK government source told the BBC that they had concerns people from elsewhere in the UK may relocate to Scotland to change gender. And they claimed Scottish ministers wanted to paint Scotland as a "haven of inclusivity" in comparison to a "nasty Westminster". The source described the Scottish legislation as a "test case scenario" of how a bill passed by the Scottish Parliament could "undermine Westminster competencies" - in other words, handing Holyrood powers outside Scotland. A separate UK government official told the BBC there was "genuine concern" about the impact the legislation could have across the rest of the UK. They added that they hoped a legal battle could be avoided. Scottish Social Justice Secretary Shona Robison has said she would be "happy to meet with Ms Badenoch" to discuss the issue. link: https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-politics-63909309

A fossil skull from a toothy early relative of today's birds shows a weirdly modern skull configuration, raising new questions about the early evolution of birds. The earliest birds on Earth may have been more modern-looking than scientists expected — a discovery that raises new questions about a murky period in evolutionary history. The first birds diverged from two-legged theropod dinosaurs around 165 million to 150 million years ago, during the Jurassic period, according to a 2015 paper in the journal Current Biology(opens in new tab). They coexisted with dinosaurs during the Cretaceous. After the mass extinction that wiped out the nonavian dinosaurs about 66 million years ago, birds took off, evolutionarily speaking (they were already adept at flight). But a more detailed understanding of this process is elusive, in part because there are barely any bird fossils from the Cretaceous. This was a crucial period of bird history, because the dino-killing asteroid also wiped out many ancient lineages of birds, leaving only the survivors to give rise to modern birds. That leaves a lot of questions about what the first birds looked like before this great winnowing. "This event was really pivotal in terms of bird evolutionary history, because it dictated which lineages of bird-like animals were winners and losers," Daniel Field(opens in new tab), a vertebrate paleontologist at the University of Cambridge in the U.K., told Live Science. Enter a new discovery by Field and his colleagues: Janavis finalidens, a vulture-size, toothed bird that isn't directly related to any modern birds but was a close relative of modern bird ancestors in the final days of the dinosaurs. This newly described species surprised Field and his team because of a quirk of its skull: The bird's palate (what would be the roof of the mouth in humans) is unfused, giving the animal a mobile upper beak, like that of a modern duck. This was surprising, because scientists had thought the most primitive birds had fused palates and rigid upper beaks, much like today's emus and ostriches. Related: How did birds survive the dinosaur-killing asteroid? The new finding, published Nov. 30 in the journal Nature(opens in new tab), suggests an alternative hypothesis: that the earliest birds looked "modern" and the "primitive" beak of emus and ostriches may have evolved later. "It's an interesting new piece of info rmation that definitely complicates the picture," said Jingmai O'Connor(opens in new tab), associate curator of fossil reptiles at Chicago's Field Museum. "But what it says, we really can't yet say," said O'Connor, who studies the dinosaur-bird transition but was not involved in the new research. A single bone To understand why the bird that Field refers to as Janavis is weird, you have to know a little about bird-science history. Back in the mid-1800s, British biologist Thomas Huxley (famous for being "Darwin's bulldog" due to his advocacy of evolutionary theory), working with what he had, split all birds into two ancestral groups: the "ancient jaws," or paleognaths, which had rigid, ostrich-like palates; and the "modern jaws," or neognaths, which had mobile, duck-like palates. A mobile palate gives rise to a mobile beak, so scientists assumed that the unfused "modern jawed" birds were an evolutionary advance over their more primitive "ancient jawed" ancestors. With a mobile beak, birds are better at grooming, feeding, nest building and other tasks requiring dexterity. link: https://www.livescience.com/early-bird-evolution-skulls

More than 364 reports of wrongful theft will now be resolved in the customers’ favors. Hertz has agreed to pay out $168 million in hundreds of customer settlements, following years of unfounded accusations of theft by the rental giant. The company claims that a faulty inventory system is to blame for rental vehicles being reported as stolen, which has led to customers being falsely arrested, detained, and even facing felony charges. Following its Chapter 11 insolvency in 2020, Hertz claims the problem was fixed and that the instances were an isolated event, though a lawsuit filed in Delaware as recently as September shows otherwise. Renting a car should be an easy task, save for the busy airport lines, but it's become a more costly and involved process. Making sure the tank is full and the interior is clean is part of the agreement between the renter and driver—an agreement that is generally fair for both parties, as long as you don't have to pay an inflated refueling fee. What most consumers don't expect out of their rental, however, is being arrested because of claims that the car was stolen. Unfortunately, that's exactly what has happened to hundreds of Hertz customers since 2015. According to lawsuits filed across the nation, customers were held at gunpoint, arrested, and even held in jail for days as a result of Hertz reporting rental models as stolen. Now, Hertz says it will compensate these customers to the tune of $168 million total, resolving claims for more than 95% of the wrongfully accused. The company claims this issue was a result of a faulty theft reporting system, a system the company alleges was fixed following its 2020 bankruptcy. However, a lawsuit filed in Delaware earlier this year shows that the practice was still in effect following the company's Chapter 11 proceedings. Hertz previously denied all claims of the false theft reports until this April, when the newly minted CEO, Stephen Scherr, admitted that some customers had been affected by the "glitch". link: https://www.caranddriver.com/news/a42188437/hertz-rental-cars-false-arrest-settlements/

Feminism, the EU and even sex differences in chimps – can these strangers agree on anything?

I felt like the junior partner in terms of maturity. She was more poised and less gushy than me. Sula I was expecting someone stuffy and conservative, a stiff-upper-lip vibe. It wasn’t like that at all. She was really chatty. There wasn’t any small talk, we were straight in. Tabitha We ate the same thing, which is a bit naff: pumpkin, grilled radicchio and pistachios, which was divine. Then we had the celeriac and three-cheese cannelloni, but by that point I’d stopped thinking about what we were eating as I was focused on the conversation. The big beef Sula We disagreed most on feminism. I think she is basically feminist, but she didn’t want to use that label. She doesn’t agree with extreme branches of feminism, but I don’t agree with extreme branches either. She said, “If I lived in Iran, I’d be a feminist.” She thinks – which is insane – that the current strand of feminism is about hating men, and men have had to give up so much more: they’re constantly being told their male traits are negative. They’re having to do more of the work to get along with women. She thinks all the men she knows are afraid to be men. Tabitha She was really unimpressed by my claim not to be a feminist. But I feel the term is carrying around a lot of baggage. I don’t want my son to carry the weight of other men’s failings on his small shoulders. I obviously believe in equality, but in every possible context, women can be openly praised for their typically female qualities – you can say, “We need more women in this, they’d bring x, y and z to the job” – and men can be criticised for their typically male characteristics, but if you did the reverse, you’d get fired. link: https://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2022/dec/08/dining-across-the-divide-i-told-her-she-was-very-cunning-in-a-nice-way

Vladimir Putin has vowed to continue attacking Ukraine's energy infrastructure despite millions being left without electricity or water. "Yes, we do that. But who started it?" the Russian president said at an awards ceremony in the Kremlin. He said that criticism of Russian strikes would "not interfere with our combat missions". Moscow has been battering Ukraine's power grid since 10 October, following a string of heavy military defeats. Some Western leaders have called the strategy a war crime, because of the huge amount of damage caused to civilian infrastructure. But President Putin said that growing global criticism would not stop the strikes. "There's a lot of noise about our strikes on the energy infrastructure of a neighbouring country. Yes, we do that. But who started it?" he said to recipients of state awards, including the "Hero of Russia" medal. Is attacking Ukraine's power grid a war crime? He said the strikes were in response to a blast on the Russian bridge to annexed Crimea on 8 October. He also accused Ukraine blowing up power lines from the Kursk nuclear power plant and of cutting water supply to Donetsk in eastern Ukraine. "Not supplying water to a city of more than a million people is an act of genocide," Mr Putin said, accusing the West of "complete silence" on these claims and of bias against Russia. Ukrainian Prosecutor-General Andriy Kostin said last month that Russia's attacks on Ukrainian energy infrastructure amount to genocide. The Russian president said that when Moscow responds to Ukrainian aggression "there is uproar and clamour spreading through the whole universe". link: https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-63907803

Mohsen Shekari is the first confirmed protestor to be executed following protests in Iran however. Rabat- Iran today executed 23-year-old protester Mohsen Shekari, sparking worldwide outrage only days after the country decided to dismantle its infamous morality police. Iran’s judiciary Mizan news outlet detailed that Shekari was blocking a road on Sattar Khan Street in Tehran on September 25 during an anti-government protest; he escaped arrest but was later found and detained on October 3. On November 1 Iran’s Revolutionary Court found Shekari guilty of “moharebeh” (war or enmity against God). Iranian official media confirmed the young Iranian man was executed by hanging on December 8. Shekari was hit with the charges while he was protesting following the death of Mahsa Amini who died shortly after she was arrested for not complying with Iran’s strict hijab laws. One of the charges Shekari faced was that he harmed a military official by beating him; he was also accused of using a weapon that caused lacerations on the guard’s left shoulder which required stitches. British Foreign Minister James Cleverly denounced the execution, writing on Twitter: “The world cannot turn a blind eye to the abhorrent violence committed by the Iranian regime against its own people.” Similarly, Germany’s Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock expressed her outrage on Twitter, stressing: “But the threat of execution will not stifle people's will for freedom.” In a news briefing, spokesperson for France’s Foreign Ministry Anne-Claire Legendre commented that Shekari's outrageous killing by the Iranian regime came in addition to “other serious and unacceptable violations.” Activists have joined in the global outrage, arguing that Shekari was executed without proper process following what they called a “show trial.” Iran Human Rights denounced the fact that the defendant was denied the right to a lawyer throughout the interrogation process or during legal proceedings. Iran’s Far news agency aired Shekari's “confession” hours after his execution. But human rights organizations and other media outlets have noted that the video showed visible bruising to the defendant's face, and that the confession was forced. Director of Iran’s Human rights group Mahmood Amiry-Moghaddam warned: “If Mohsen Shekari's execution is not met with serious consequences for the government,we will face mass execution of protesters.” The Iranian court has also announced that a further 10 people have been sentenced to death, but no other executions have been carried out as of yet. All of those who have been handed the death penalty were arrested on similar charges to Shekari and were also protesting. However, their identities have not been released. link: https://www.moroccoworldnews.com/2022/12/352896/worldwide-outrage-as-iran-executes-anti-regime-protester
