Brazil's Presidential Vote: Lula Seeks Fourth Term in a Tense Run‑Off

In a shocking case, a former resident of South Korea’s state‑run Saekdongwon care home revealed that she and others were sexually abused by the facility’s director for almost a decade. The judge convicted the director of rape, sentencing him to 15 years in prison, but controversy remains over the scope of the abuse and the investigation’s thoroughness. Victims say the facility staff were complicit and that oversight lacked depth, leading to criticism of both local and national authorities. In response, the government announced a nationwide inspection of all disabled‑care facilities and plans to overhaul protective regulations. The case has reignited public demands for more robust safeguards for people with disabilities.

Supporters of Pakistan’s former prime minister, Imran Khan, have taken to the streets in a pro‑Khan march that is now winding up to Islamabad. The protest follows growing alarm over Khan’s health, claims that he has lost vision in his right eye and accusations that his imprisonment on corruption charges is politically motivated. Despite a court order for medical examination, authorities have denied access. The PTI says talks with the government broke down after the latter rejected requests to speak with Khan and to provide medical treatment. The march, which began in Lakki Marwat, is expected to reach the capital by Thursday, as supporters urge the public to remain engaged in the political process.
