LilitThyra wrote that a Swedish police officer had been privately in Copenhagen and tried to settle a dispute. During this, a man hit him on the head or neck. An artery was torn; the officer died despite an emergency operation. The Copenhagen City Court convicted the man, according to LilitThyra, of simple assault, not of dangerous bodily harm or homicide. It imposed a one-year prison sentence as well as a one-year ban on entering bars, clubs, and similar establishments after midnight. The perpetrator had come to Denmark as a toddler from the Democratic Republic of the Congo and is now a Danish citizen. Furthermore, he had multiple prior convictions for rape, bodily injury, and attempted murder. #Dänemark #Justiz #Kriminalität (translated)

Torsten Heinrich wrote that the Russian military blogger "Joint Forces Group West" admitted that since the end of September, their own soldiers had been evacuated disguised as civilians from Kupjansk. The soldiers had sought out civilians themselves to form groups and disguise convoys; in some cases, civilians had been persuaded to do so. According to Heinrich, the blogger confirmed recent Ukrainian accusations that civilians had been used as human shields. Heinrich described the evacuation of disguised soldiers as a permissible wartime tactic, provided that it was not intended to kill, injure, or capture Ukrainians. However, the use of civilians to protect military targets, in his assessment, violates Article 51, Paragraph 7 of Additional Protocol I to the Geneva Conventions. #Kriegsrecht #Zivilschutz #Ukraine (translated)

Reza Pahlavi Communications published a statement that had reportedly been signed by 133 Iranian political prisoners and activists. In it, the signatories thanked the Friedrich Naumann Foundation for Freedom for awarding the Freedom Prize 2026 to the Iranian people and for commissioning Prince Reza Pahlavi to accept it. The signatories wrote that during the protests on January 8 and 9, 2026, people had demanded an end to the Islamic Republic and more freedom. Published reports and estimates indicated tens of thousands of deaths and thousands of arrests. They stated that executions continued and death sentences were imposed in part based on confessions coerced under torture and in unfair trials. The authors referred to Reza Pahlavi as their political representative and supported him in leading a transition to a free, democratic Iran. They wrote that the Iranian people should decide on the future form of government in a free vote. They urged governments and international institutions to prevent executions, release political prisoners, and grant independent observers access to prisons. Additionally, they called for an end to business with the Islamic Republic, for a transparent use of frozen Iranian assets to support the freedom movement, and for better access to secure internet, including through Starlink. The letter was dated October 2026. #Iran #Freiheit #Menschenrechte (translated)
