Times Of Israel: Tunisia opposition figures get jail terms in mass trial; defense pans ‘masquerade’
A Tunisian court has sentenced multiple defendants, including prominent opposition figures, to prison terms ranging from 4 to 66 years in a mass trial criticized for lack of fairness. The accused faced charges of conspiracy against state security and terrorism, with appeals planned.
Rights groups and defense lawyers have condemned the trial as politically motivated, alleging violations of judicial procedures and a lack of credible evidence. The proceedings were marked by tight security and barred media access, raising concerns over the state of freedoms in Tunisia since President Kais Saied's power consolidation in 2021.
Fox News: Dem elites accused of slapping small-town cops with ‘witch hunt’ fines twice their pay
Dozens of officers from the Tonawanda Police Department in New York have been fined for allegedly participating in an unauthorized labor strike during a snowy winter period. The union claims this is retaliation and denies the charges, asserting that officers fulfilled their duties despite adverse conditions.
The police chief stands by the fines, citing a decrease in ticket issuance as evidence of the strike. The situation has led to tensions between the union and department leadership, with calls for the chief's ouster. The union argues that the fines are unprecedented and could set a concerning legal precedent regarding police operations and labor rights.

Times Of Israel: Report: Israel asked US not to indict Oct. 7 terrorists before it files own charges
Israeli law enforcement has requested that the U.S. delay indicting Palestinian terrorists involved in the October 7 Hamas attack until Israel completes its own legal proceedings. Israeli prosecutors are preparing a mega-indictment against 22 terrorists, with around 300 detainees linked to the massacre.
The case is complex, facing legal challenges, and involves extensive evidence collection from various security agencies. Prosecutors are seeking legislative changes to facilitate the trial process, potentially allowing proceedings without defendants present and enabling victims to submit written statements.
