Press Briefs reported that Evan, 15 years old, had his hand blown off by a grenade thrown by law enforcement on Monday in Lens, during a high school mobilization. The media indicated that the prosecutor initially claimed that the teenager had picked up the grenade, a version relayed by several major media outlets, including continuous news channels, but Evan denied it. According to Press Briefs, witnesses had challenged this version from the first day to the local radio Ici, formerly France Bleu. They reportedly said that the grenade exploded near Evan without him having picked it up. The media also indicated that the teenager's mother had filed a complaint for her son's injuries. Press Briefs questioned the media treatment given to the version from the prosecutor or the police when it serves as the main source of a narrative. The media added that earlier in the week, it had questioned a journalist from a major national channel in charge of police-justice cases about a framing based solely on police sources despite contradictory witness testimonies. According to Press Briefs, the journalist did not respond. #Lens #Evan #Médiatique (translated)

Rosario Aitala, deputy president of the International Criminal Court, told Corriere della Sera that the sanctions announced by the United States were preventing judges from carrying out both public and private activities, and that for many of them, the effects were already in place. He reported that they were subjected to measures similar to those reserved for terrorists: revoked credit cards, closed bank accounts, and canceled insurance contracts, with some companies refusing to reimburse medical expenses. According to Aitala, many apps on their phones had stopped working and it was forbidden to book hotels or flights through platforms. As an example, he recounted that Alexa no longer responded to a colleague after he asked her to play blues music. Another European colleague, he added, had booked a room in his own country through a European platform and, after half an hour, received an email ordering him not to try again. #Giustizia #Sanzioni #DirittiUmani (translated)

Joni Juusela wrote that inheritance tax was one of the most harmful taxes in Finland and should be abolished. Working in the financial sector, he stated that he could see its practical disadvantages and said that Finland needed family businesses committed to growing in the country from generation to generation. Juusela believed that the impact on public finances should be considered when abolishing the tax, as government bond rates were rising globally, in his opinion. He warned of a repeat of the situation in Britain following Truss's mini-budget, when large unfunded tax cuts spooked the bond markets. To secure financing, he suggested cutting development aid and removing the tax exemption for foundations and associations. Juusela reminded that small inheritances were tax-free at that time. If inheritance tax were to be replaced with capital gains tax, he believed that the change should not drastically tighten the taxation of small inheritances, for example when selling old apartments. He proposed protective measures during the transition, such as a tax deferral right similar to Sweden's or deemed acquisition costs, so that the middle class could also have the opportunity to build wealth that spans generations. #perintövero #perheyritykset #kansankapitalismi (translated)
