BREAKING: Canada announces another round of sanctions against the Islamic Republic of Iran.
Most notably against Morteza Talaei - Tehran's police chief when Iranian-Canadian citizen Zahra Kazemi was tortured, ultimately culminating in her death.
He was seen in Toronto in 2021.
Other individuals and entities sanctioned, include:
"If the murderer had been white and the victim black, everything would have been different."
Italian paper @Corriere accuses NYT of downplaying the murder of Italian grad student Davide Giri.
Giri was stabbed to death by a suspected gang member.
@Corriere says this is an example of the risks of "new militant journalism".
"This story offers a disturbing look at the 'new journalism', militant and conditioned by its ideological agenda. Even its crime reporting bends to this tribal logic."
Columbia University revealed that the second victim, Roberto Malaspina is a visiting scholar newly arrived from Italy with plans to study for several months at Columbia University School of the Arts.
