[AlAhram] A Sharqiya criminal court handed on Thursday death sentence ...the barbaric practice of sentencing a murderer to be punished for as long as his/her/its victim is dead... s against four men and handed 7-15 jail terms to 26 others for murdering two coppers and attempting to murder other security personnel in 2014.
The court convicted the defendants of joining a terrorist group, possessing explosive charges, and sabotaging state properties.
The verdict was issued after the mufti, the authority which issues religious edicts, approved the court's death penalties in a non-binding but legally required opinion as per the country's penal code.
The ruling can be appealed within 60 days before the Court of Cassation.
Another stage of the endless process complete.
The defendants, who were arrested in 2014 in the Nile Delta governorate of Sharqiya, were charged with forming a terrorist cell of 30 members with the aim of disrupting order, carrying out terrorist operations, vandalising police vehicles, murdering two coppers, and attempting to kill others.
Ansar Bayt al Maqdis was rampaging across the Egyptian landscape at the time, going after police and other government officials following the overthrow by General Sisi of the elected Muslim Brotherhood government. At the time the group was affiliated with Al Qaeda, only later switching their allegiance to the more viciously romantic ISIS.
The defendants were found in possession of ammunitions, explosives, and publications calling for the suspension of the country's constitution, and preventing state institutions from doing their duties.

[IsraelTimes] In a report to member countries, IAEA estimates figure at 33 kilograms; total stockpile assessed at 3,197, though it could not verify exact size due to limitations on inspectors
The United Nations ...a lucrative dumping ground for the relatives of dictators and party hacks... ’ atomic watchdog said Thursday that it believes Iran ...The word Iran is a cognate form of Aryan. The abbreviation IRGC is the same idea as Stürmabteilung (or SA). The term Supreme Guide is a the modern version form of either Duce or Führer or maybe both... has significantly increased its stockpile of highly enriched uranium in breach of a 2015 accord with world powers.
The ineffective International Atomic Energy Agency told member nations in its confidential quarterly report that Iran has an estimated 33.2 kilograms (73.1 pounds) of uranium enriched to up to 60% fissile purity, an increase of 15.5 kilograms (34.2 pounds) since November.
Such highly enriched uranium can be easily refined to make atomic weapons, which is why world powers have sought to contain Tehran’s nuclear program. The 33.2-kilogram figure brings Iran closer to having enough weapons-grade uranium to produce a nuclear weapon.
In a report to member states about its work in Iran seen by The News Agency that Dare Not be Named, IAEA estimated that as of February 19, Iran’s stockpile of all enriched uranium was 3197.1 kilograms (7048.4 pounds), an increase of 707.4 kilograms (1559.6 pounds).
The Vienna-based agency said it was unable to verify the exact size of Iran’s stockpile of enriched uranium due to limitations Tehran imposed on UN inspectors last year. IAEA’s monitoring and verification activities in Iran continue to be "seriously affected" by Iran’s decision to stop letting inspectors access the agency’s monitoring equipment, the report states.
Also on Thursday, Prime Minister Naftali Bennett spoke on the phone with IAEA Director-General Rafael Mariano Grossi urging him not to cave to reported Iranian demands that the agency close its open cases into possible Iranian nuclear violations, the premier’s office said.

Well, they're just not moving fast enough, so lets help them out.

Is there ANYTHING America's current regime has not fucked up?
As far as we can tell, no. Though, to be fair, the Iran vs IAEA inspections thing has been f**cked up for some time now so Brandon doesn't get all the weight.
Could that go back to the CIA’s 2003 country report for Iran where they claimed Iran had given up their nuclear bomb program after 9/11, deliberately undercutting President George W. Bush’s obvious next step in the War on Terror?
Youths in #Syria’s #Aleppo, who joined military groups affiliated with the government forces, are not considered graduate of the compulsory military service. https://t.co/zjS43sRLkb

ALEPPO, Syria (North Press) – Salah Qarqanawi, a 38-year-old resident of Salaheddine neighborhood in Aleppo city, north Syria, is working as a bus driver. He carried guns for seven years when he joined a military unit affiliated with the Military Academic in Aleppo in order to evade the compulsory military service.
Qarqanawi said he preferred to join a military group and work for fixed hours a day near his family rather than join the compulsory military service and move to another Syrian governorate.
In 2012, the opposition members entered his neighborhood and he was compelled to displace along with his family to al-Hamdaniyah neighborhood in Aleppo, and in June 2015, he joined the al-Forsan military group, affiliated with the Syrian government.
At the three first years of joining the military groups, he and other youths had privileges. They used to get food baskets and diesel very easily. He was paid 50,000 SYP in addition to some more money when he stood at a checkpoint, he said.
But, it has been a year since they get no salary at all “for unknown reasons”, he added.
“Our commander told us that the matter of salary is related to the Damascus-based Administrative Department 217 in charge of our military unit.”
“I could not hand over my weapon because I am still wanted by the government forces to join the compulsory military service. Therefore, I move among the security points deployed in the city as necessary,” he noted.
WAITING
Rami Eid, a pseudonym for a 25-year-old man of Sayf al-Dawla neighborhood. He evaded the compulsory military service and then joined a group affiliated with the popular committees, which in turn follow the Military Security Branch since 2014).
Fearful of being killed in the first battle in case he joined the military service, Eid preferred to be a member at the checkpoint and be near his family and friends.
Eid works as a mechanic in his free time. He awaits for the settlement process decision because he evaded the compulsory military service six years ago. He hopes his service at the checkpoints would be included so that he is considered as a graduate of the compulsory military service and go back to his normal life as a civilian.
Eid said the years he fought the opposition factions went “in vain” because he couldn’t get married and have children.
Given Eid is wanted to enlist in the compulsory military service, his group [at the checkpoint] stopped paying him his salary. “After the government’s interest ended, they get rid of us and they do not enlist our names in the settlement process as members who served the group.”
DECEIVED
On February 20, the Syrian government opened two settlement process centers in Deir Hafer and Maskana towns in the east of Aleppo to settle the status of the wanted people. But, many people avoid visiting the centers fearful of being arrested given some who went there went missing as local people said.
Amjad Sharabati, 35, a man of al-Ashrafiya neighborhood joined the local defense forces in a settlement process in 2018 because he had evaded the compulsory military service.
In September 2018, the Syrian government issued a settlement process and settled the status of 713 wanted youths of the local defense forces, according to sources of the local defense forces themselves.
In early January 2022, Sharabati was shocked that he and 400 other comrades were ordered to move to Draij village in Rif Dimashq to enlist in the compulsory military service.
Sharabati now serves in the Ninth Brigade in al-Sanamayn district in the northern countryside of Daraa as a soldier of the Syrian government forces. “I really wanted to serve in my hometown but I was put under the full authority of the government after I gave them my ID and my military service book.”

TEL TAMR, Syria (North Press) – More violations against the indigenous people, plunder and shelling have been recorded since February in Sere Kaniye (Ras al-Ain) and Tel Abyad areas, north and northeast Syria, which are controlled by Turkish-baked Syrian opposition factions.
On February 25, Hevdestî (Synergy) Association said Sere Kaniye-based local council, which was established by Turkey, seized a house and shops that belong to a man identified as Jassem Sam’o, who displaced from the city due to the Turkish military action, and invested the owner’s properties without informing him or getting his approval.
Hevdestî (Synergy) is a non-profit organization including journalists, human rights activists and researchers from Sere Kaniye and Tel Abyad and aims to document the violations committed in the two cities by Syrian armed opposition factions.
The local council transferred one of the shops to a center to sell bread, Hevdestî confirmed based on footages published by the local council itself and testimonies of IDPs of Sere Kaniye in Washokani Camp in Hasakah.
The Turkish-backed Syrian opposition factions have seized 5,500 houses and 1,200 shops in Sere Kaniye and Tel Abyad since they controlled the two areas in 2019, Hevdestî documented.
In October 2019, the Turkish forces and the Syrian opposition factions launched ground and aerial offensive against Sere Kaniye and Tel Abyad in NE Syria displacing approximately 300,000 civilians, human rights reports said.
In the same context, local sources told North Press that militants of al-Qadesiya Brigade looted electricity wires from the grids that connect Ali Bajeliya town to Tel Abyad city on February 27 and caused a power outage in the region.
The opposition factions conduct looting at midnight so that no one can watch them, the source added.
On the same day, the Turkish forces targeted Tel Tamr countryside with scores of artillery and mortar shelling.
The Turkish forces bombed the villages of Umm al-Khair, Dashisha, and Tawila in the west, and the villages of Tel Shnan in the east wounding a woman identified as Marwa Khleif, 30, from Umm al-Khair and damaging some civilians’ properties.
The whole areas located on the contact lines in the northern countryside of Hasakah and in the northwestern countryside of Raqqa are bombed constantly by the Turkish forces and the opposition factions.
