Iranian singer’s 74 lashes for performing without a hijab ‘a form of torture’, say rights groups

An Iranian court’s decision to uphold a sentence of 74 lashes against the popular singer Parastoo Ahmadi for performing without a hijab has sparked outrage among rights groups, who described it as “a form of torture”.

In June, Ahmadi, 29, and eight members of her production team, including musicians, were sentenced by a court in the city of Qom over a concert that was streamed online in 2024, which went viral and racked up millions of views. The court said the group had violated the country’s “legal and cultural norms” and called the performance “obscene and vulgar”.

Poilievre urges Albertans to vote to stay in Canada, saying their issue is with the government, not the country

Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre urged Albertans to vote to stay in Canada in the province’s upcoming referendum, arguing that Alberta’s resentments are best addressed by doubling down on the values that the Canadian Constitution was originally meant to uphold.

At a keynote speech in Edmonton, Poilievre made a classical conservative case for why the province’s deep resentments toward confederation are actually due to years of relentless government overreach rather than issues with the country itself

My advice to Mark Carney? Beware of Europeans bearing gifts. It doesn’t always end well

Have you ever had a really good friend, maybe a few years older, with whom you did everything together? You did each other’s hair. Did each other’s nails. Fought fascist militaristic governments together. Negotiated free trade deals with each other. And then, something happens. Your bestie develops a new set of priorities, and you aren’t one of them. And they become quite bizarrely bitchy about it. For reasons unknown, they take their soft wood lumber and go home in a huff.

Only at the Star.

Pentagon says it has formally completed withdrawal of US troops from Iraq

The Pentagon announced on Wednesday that it has formally completed its withdrawal of US troops from Iraq, two years after the withdrawal was agreed to and 12 years since the US mission to fight the Islamic State started.

After the announcement, Iran and its allies celebrated the departure as a victory, while Iraqi security experts worry that the withdrawal could give the Islamic State and others a chance to recover.

“Today, the United States and our Coalition partners formally concluded Operation Inherent Resolve in Iraq,” the Pentagon said in a statement, adding that the departure of its forces “marks the successful conclusion of the military mission that defeated ISIS in Iraq”.

ZWAAGSTRA: Students should be learning comprehensive Canadian history

Anyone who immigrates to Canada and wants to become a citizen must pass a citizenship test, which tests their knowledge of Canadian history, culture and institutions. We should expect no less of Canadians who were born here. And schools play an important role in educating students about our country.

UK: Virgin Mary wore a hijab, according to council Islamophobia training session

The Virgin Mary “wore a hijab”, staff at a council have been told.

In a talk about Islamophobia, North Yorkshire council staff who handle anti-terror work were taught that Islam’s attitude to women did not conflict with Western values.

An example used was that “Mother Mary wore a hijab”.

Refugee claimants strike out after Federal Court says their legal claim is AI fakery

A claim for refugee protection in Canada by a family of three has been rejected because their appeal was apparently generated by artificial intelligence tools and riddled with fake cases and false legal arguments.

The Federal Court issued a sharp rebuke of a court filing that challenges an Immigration and Refugee Board (IRB) decision that refused asylum to the trio, with Justice Roger Lafrenière saying the appeal is riddled with nonsense and calling it “an abusive document.”

Reanimated AI Greta Garbo stars again … in a ball-bearing advert

She shimmered in Hollywood’s silent movie era and lit up the first talkies – now Greta Garbo may be about to star in cinema’s new AI age.

More than a century after her screen debut and decades after her ashes were laid to rest in a Swedish woodland cemetery, the Hollywood superstar’s descendants are ready to consider an AI version of her taking a 21st-century film role.

Her likeness has already been reanimated for an advert for a Swedish industrial company, using AI generation technology. The practice some critics call “ghostploitation” has also been used in the case of the actor Val Kilmer, who died last year.

Carney announces $1.2B in funding to protect oceans as major projects loom

Prime Minister Mark Carney announced $1.2 billion in federal funding for ocean protections Tuesday, as the country moves toward decisions on a new pipeline to the West Coast and the expansion of a major port in Metro Vancouver.

The major projects would mean “more ships on the water and more pressure on the habitats that we are all working to protect,” Carney said.

“We must scale up our systems to protect marine life in the event that something goes wrong,” he said.

One of the five men arrested near RAF Fairford called 999 himself

One of five men arrested near RAF Fairford in the early hours of Sunday morning had dialled 999 himself, the BBC understands.

The suspect called the police at 00:45 BST, almost an hour before a female farmer also dialled 999 after seeing men in balaclavas.

The five were arrested on suspicion of explosives offences and later terrorism offences after three vans were spotted, sparking a major security incident around the Gloucestershire base which the US military operates.

American exodus: why do so many US NHL stars want out of Canada?

Back in September 1925, Frederick Wilson, sports editor at the Globe, explained the fear among hockey fans that Canadian teams might not be able to compete for players against the new US teams like New York or Boston that were entering the pro league. “Will it be a matter of money?” Wilson headlined his piece. And for about a century, money was the recurrent nexus of the Canadian hockey panic, proven by franchise departures and depleted buying power.
