Iran: Fear of Running Short of Water

Lake Urmia

It was with a sigh of relief that the Islamic Republic of Iran’s President Massoud Pezeshkian welcomed the new academic year and the start of autumn the other day — relief that what is dubbed “the thirstiest summer” in Iran’s long history was over.

Drug traffickers livestream torture and killing of young Argentinian women and girl

The murder of two young Argentinian women and a girl whose torture by suspected drug traffickers was livestreamed on a private Instagram group has sent shock waves through a country unused to such extreme levels of narco violence.

Brenda del Castillo, 20, Morena Verdi, 20, and Lara Gutiérrez, 15, went missing on Friday, after they were lured to a house in the outskirts of Buenos Aires by a promise that they would be paid US $300 for taking part in a “sex party”.

Instead, authorities say, they were seized and tortured by the traffickers, who streamed the abuse to 45 people via a closed Instagram group, before killing them and burying them in plastic bags outside the house.
