Iran Supreme Court upholds Iranian-German man’s death sentence

Jamshid Sharmahd is accused by the Iranian government of being a leader of the US-based Tondar terrorist group

Iran’s Supreme Court has upheld the death sentence for Iranian-German dual national Jamshid Sharmahd on charges of “corruption on earth”.

The court upheld a previous conviction against Sharmahd, issued by a lower court in February, for heading a pro-monarchist group accused of planning attacks across Iran, according to the judiciary’s official news website.

“In the appeal, there is no reason or proof that would create the grounds for dismissing the initial verdict, and the sentence of the convicted has been issued in accordance with the law based on presented evidence,” the Supreme Court said on Wednesday.

The 67-year-old, who also has United States residency and was arrested in 2020, has been accused of being the leader of the US-based group Tondar (which means “thunder” in Farsi), which has said it seeks to restore the monarchy that was toppled in a 1979 revolution.

The main charge he faced was masterminding a 2008 bombing at a mosque in the southern city of Shiraz, which killed 14 people and wounded hundreds.

He has also been accused of planning a series of other attacks, including bombings and assassinations, in addition to passing information to US and Israeli intelligence.

Buying banknotes to survive Zimbabwe’s sky-high inflation

Torn foreign notes like this one give Zimbabweans a chance to earn some money

Noel Ngwenya, 44, from Chivi District of Masvingo Province spends his working days in downtown Bulawayo, the country’s second largest city, with a loudhailer advertising a unique service.

He collects torn or soiled foreign currency notes that have been rejected by supermarkets and other traders – mostly US dollars or South African rand, which are both legal tender in Zimbabwe.

Mr Ngwenya pays his clients 50% of the value of whichever note they bring – so they get $1 for a torn $2 note or 100 rand for a torn 200 rand note.

“Things are worse after Covid-19, it’s like everyone is now on the road selling something since there is almost no formal employment in the industries,” he says.

Zimbabwe’s rate of inflation has been falling since August 2022 when it hit a staggering 285%. However, in March this year it was still running at 87.6%, forcing Zimbabweans to find creative ways to survive.

A recent International Labour Organization Harare report says 76% of employment in Zimbabwe is now in the informal sector, in other words, selling goods or services without registering with the authorities.

The informal economy, massive bank charges and distrust of the banking sector mean Zimbabweans prefer to deal in cash or mobile money.

Kenji Nagai: Missing camera reveals journalist’s last moments in Myanmar

Kenji Nagai kept filming as he lay fatally injured after being shot by a Burmese soldier

A middle-aged man holding a camera, lifted off his feet by a shot fired by a soldier at point-blank range as protesters flee in panic. He rolls onto his back, fatally wounded, still holding his camera up in one hand. A Reuters photographer would later win a Pulitzer prize for capturing that moment.

The man was Kenji Nagai, a veteran Japanese video journalist. He was killed on 27 September 2007, at the height of the so-called Saffron Revolution, mass protests led by Buddhist monks in several cities in Myanmar against a military regime which had ruled for 45 years and run the economy into the ground.

His camera, missing for 16 years, has now resurfaced, bringing some closure to his family who flew to Bangkok this week to receive it.

“I think my brother threw himself right into the turmoil of the Saffron Revolution, convinced he could help Myanmar by letting the world know what was happening,” his sister Noriko says.

“I don’t think of him as a hero even though he lost his life. I would prefer people to remember him as a journalist who was willing to keep fighting.”

A warning – this story contains the Pulitzer-winning photograph of Kenji Nagai moments after he was shot.

By the time Nagai, who was on assignment for the AFP, arrived in Myanmar the protests had been going on for six weeks, the first significant challenge to military rule for nearly 20 years.

They had escalated in early September when monks across the country, reacting to the assault of monks by soldiers in the town of Pakkoku, had turned their bowls upside down and refused to take alms from military personnel – a powerful act of defiance.

Singapore hangs man for trafficking 1kg of cannabis

Tangaraju's family had sent numerous letters appealing for clemency

Singapore has hanged 46-year-old Tangaraju Suppiah who was found guilty in 2018 of trafficking more than 1kg (2.2 pounds) of cannabis, despite last-minute appeals for clemency from his family and activists.

His family said they had been given Tangaraju’s death certificate, anti-death penalty campaigner Kirsten Han wrote on Twitter.

A spokesperson for the country’s prison service told the AFP news agency that the sentence had been carried out at Changi prison in the island’s east.

Tangaraju Suppiah was sentenced to death in 2018 for abetting the attempted trafficking of just more than 1kg of cannabis. A judge found he was using a phone number that was communicating with traffickers attempting to smuggle the drugs into Singapore.

Tangaraju’s family and activists had argued the 46-year-old was not provided with adequate legal counsel and that he was denied access to a Tamil interpreter while being questioned by the police.

The execution was the first in Singapore in six months after it carried out 11 death sentences last year.

How the West enabled Sudan’s warring generals

People fleeing the southern part of Khartoum as street battles raged

The violence that has exploded in Sudan as the country’s two top generals grapple for power has unfolded at a terrifying, breakneck speed.

But, by many accounts, the clash was long in the making — the culmination of years spent by the international community legitimizing the two military rivals as political actors, entrusting them with getting a democratic transition across the line in spite of many signals they had no intention of doing so.

Now, the two men, who started their careers in the killing fields of Darfur, the western region where a tribal rebellion erupted in the early 2000s, have pitted their forces against each other and appear intent on ripping Sudan apart. The African Union has warned that the clash “could escalate into a full-blown conflict,” roiling stability in the wider region.

General Abdel Fattah al-Burhan, Sudan’s military ruler and head of the army, and General Mohamed Hamdan Dagalo (widely known as Hemedti), the country’s deputy and head of the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) paramilitary group, had shared power since carrying out a coup in 2021, when together they pushed civilians from a transitional government. That alliance, forged on a mutual disdain for the Sudanese people’s democratic ambitions, has crumbled into what now resembles a fight to the death.

Abdel Fattah al-Burhan and Mohamed Hamdan Dagalo

Rival generals are battling for control in Sudan. Here’s a simple guide to the fighting

In the weeks before the conflict broke out, the two generals flirted with a deal that was aimed at mollifying their remaining disputes — largely security sector reform and the integration of the RSF into the army — and moving the country toward a long-awaited, civilian-led democracy.

They met with foreign mediators and made pledges to hand over power. Meanwhile, in the capital Khartoum, personnel carriers and tanks were seen rolling down the streets, fortifying and reinforcing both sides.

“The fact that these forces were poised and at the ready to descend into this level of violence so swiftly should come as no surprise to anyone,” said Cameron Hudson, a former CIA analyst, now an Africa specialist at the Center for Strategic and International Studies, adding that the foreign powers involved in the negotiations — the United States and Britain, as well as the United Nations, and African and Arab governments — had made a serious miscalculation to believe that both generals were willing parties on the verge of an agreement.

Feature: ONCE SAVED ALWAYS SAVED? NOT SO CONTINUES

Pastor David Leroy Matthews -Sozo Ministries, Ohio

I Timothy 6:10 For the love of money is the root of all evil: which while some coveted after, they have erred from the faith, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows.

Those Pastors, Prophets and Evangelists who turn your mind away from the truth for money, will someday be judged by the All Mighty. There is a song which has come to mind now, ‘Turn your eyes upon Jesus, look full in His wonderful face, and the things of the earth will grow strangely dim, in the light of His grace’.

In Germany and Sweden, you can go to a store and pick out a prostitute, have sex, pay your money and go your way. Before the return of Yahshua (Jesus), you will be able to do the same thing, men with men, women with women, older men with young boys, that is happening now in various countries. I have seen women, dressed like men.

Deuteronomy 22:5 – The woman shall not wear that which pertaineth unto a man, neither shall a man put on a woman’s garment: for all that do so are abomination unto the Lord thy God.

The Sodomites were temple prostitutes Genesis 14:17 -24 And the king of Sodom went out to meet him after his return from the slaughter of Chedorlaomer, and of the kings that were with him, at the valley of Shaveh, which is the king’s dale.18 And Melchizedek king of Salem brought forth bread and wine: and he was the priest of the most high God.19 And he blessed him, and said, Blessed be Abram of the most high God, possessor of heaven and earth:

20 And blessed be the most high God, which hath delivered thine enemies into thy hand. And he gave him tithes of all.

21 And the king of Sodom said unto Abram, Give me the persons, and take the goods to thyself.

22 And Abram said to the king of Sodom, I have lift up mine hand unto the Lord, the most high God, the possessor of heaven and earth,

23 That I will not take from a thread even to a shoelatchet, and that I will not take any thing that is thine, lest thou shouldest say, I have made Abram rich:

24 Save only that which the young men have eaten, and the portion of the men which went with me, Aner, Eshcol, and Mamre; let them take their portion.

Genesis 15:1 After these things the word of the Lord came unto Abram in a vision, saying, Fear not, Abram: I am thy shield, and thy exceeding great reward. Abraham did not want any money or riches made from prostitution, nor did he pay Tithes to get Rich. Abraham did prophetically what Yahshua (Jesus) would do.

Mark 14:22-25 And as they did eat, Jesus took bread, and blessed, and brake it, and gave to them, and said, Take, eat: this is my body.

23 And he took the cup, and when he had given thanks, he gave it to them: and they all drank of it.

24 And he said unto them, This is my blood of the new testament (new covenant), which is shed for many.

25 Verily I say unto you, I will drink no more of the fruit of the vine, until that day that I drink it new in the kingdom of God. So when some minister tells you, give offerings and pay Tithes, so that you can prosper, its backward, ‘The Old Covenant (Testament) is sealed, the New Testament (Covenant) is the old Testament revealed.

Genesis 15:1 After these things the word of the Lord came unto Abram in a vision, saying, Fear not, Abram: I am thy shield, and thy exceeding great reward. ( I am thy shield)

Ephesians 6:16, Above all, taking the shield of faith where with ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked, Abram prophetically did Romans10

Romans 10:4-124 For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to every one that believeth.

5 For Moses describeth the righteousness which is of the law, That the man which doeth those things shall live by them.6 But the righteousness which is of faith speaketh on this wise, Say not in thine heart, Who shall ascend into heaven? (that is, to bring Christ down from above:)

7 Or, Who shall descend into the deep? (that is, to bring up Christ again from the dead.)

8 But what saith it? The word is nigh thee, even in thy mouth, and in thy heart: that is, the word of faith, which we preach;

9 That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. (if thou shalt make a blood covenant with your mouth and in thy heart that Elohim hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be ‘Safe’; to save, deliver or protect (literally or figuratively): – heal, preserve, (life) save, (self) do well, be ‘make’ whole)

10 For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation (Rescue or Safety physically or morally; deliver, health, salvation, save, saving)

11 For the scripture saith, Whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed.12 For there is no difference between the Jew and the Greek: for the same Lord over all is rich unto all that call upon him. Because of the wickedness in Noah’s day, ‘Elohim’ the first name for the All Mighty One (EL) destroyed all life, except Noah and his family, and all kinds of animals and birds. Elohim the creator of all things, made a covenant with Noah and with living creatures, that He would not do it again, and gave the Rainbow sign.

IN DEFIANCE OF THE CREATOR,

Satan inspired those in our time, to use the Rainbow Sign, to represent various forms of SEXUAL PERVERSNESS, as I have pointed out before. Satan said, up on a mountain to Yahshua (Jesus) to bow down and worship him, and he would give him all the Nations.There was a singing group years ago, who sang a song, “God showed Noah, the Rainbow sign, not by water, but fire next time”.

My first time in Ghana, Pastor T.K Agyei was in a computer bar, on my right was some young boys, not teenagers yet, and was watching a woman perform moral sex on a man. Before Yahshua returns, it will be much worse influence on your children, sex with animals

Exodus 22:18-20 Thou shalt not suffer a witch to live.19 Whosoever lieth with a beast shall surely be put to death.20 He that sacrificeth unto any god, save unto the Lord only, he shall be utterly destroyed.

Leviticus 18:22,23 Thou shalt not lie with mankind, as with womankind: it is abomination.23 Neither shalt thou lie with any beast to defile thyself therewith: neither shall any woman stand before a beast to lie down thereto: it is confusion.

Leviticus 20:13 If a man also lie with mankind, as he lieth with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination: they shall surely be put to death; their blood shall be upon them.

Deuteronomy 27:20-2320 Cursed be he that lieth with his father’s wife; because he uncovereth his father’s skirt. And all the people shall say, Amen.

21 Cursed be he that lieth with any manner of beast. And all the people shall say, Amen.22 Cursed be he that lieth with his sister, the daughter of his father, or the daughter of his mother. And all the people shall say, Amen.

23 Cursed be he that lieth with his mother in law. And all the people shall say, Amen.

Isaiah 3:16-24 Moreover the Lord saith, Because the daughters of Zion are haughty, and walk with stretched forth necks and wanton eyes, walking and mincing as they go, and making a tinkling with their feet:

17 Therefore the Lord will smite with a scab the crown of the head of the daughters of Zion, and the Lord will discover their secret parts.

18 In that day the Lord will take away the bravery of their tinkling ornaments about their feet, and their cauls, and their round tires like the moon,

19 The chains, and the bracelets, and the mufflers,

20 The bonnets, and the ornaments of the legs, and the headbands, and the tablets, and the earrings, 21 The rings, and nose jewels,22 The changeable suits of apparel, and the mantles, and the wimples, and the crisping pins,

23 The glasses, and the fine linen, and the hoods, and the veils.

24 And it shall come to pass, that instead of sweet smell there shall be stink; and instead of a girdle a rent; and instead of well set hair baldness; and instead of a stomacher a girding of sackcloth; and burning instead of beauty.

Used of woman who walk like men

This movie is being used to desensitize people to have sex with animals. I have a picture of a man dressed like a dog, and he wants to have sex with the dog next door and have puppies. I have another picture of a man sitting on a chair and blow a kiss to his poodle, with a valentine between them. They are at a tax service department, the man is filling jointly, because they are married, the Dog is his wife.

Romans 1:19-31 Because that which may be known of God is manifest in them; for God hath shewed it unto them.

20 For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse:

21 Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened.

22 Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools,

23 And changed the glory of the uncorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man, and to birds, and four-footed beasts, and creeping things.

24 Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonour their own bodies between themselves:

25 Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed forever. Amen.

26 For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature:

27 And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was met.

28 And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient;

29 Being filled with all unrighteousness, fornication, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, debate, deceit, malignity; whisperers,

30 Backbiters, haters of God, despiteful, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents,

31 Without understanding, covenant breakers, without natural affection, implacable, unmerciful:

At the bottom of the page it says, the next step: Marriage licenses for cows, pigs, sheep and dogs! Will federal workers who believe the scriptures have to give out marriage licenses for these also? Before the return of Yahshua, perverts will go shopping, just as its done now for male or female prostitutes. The problem with having sex with dogs, cows, goats, sheep, donkeys, is the female will not cooperate with, until its ready. She will not move her tail until she is not ready to breed.

Some will fight the male off until she is ready. So the business man or female will give the customer a choice to choose which animal they want to have sex with, and give it a sedative drug by needle so the animal won’t resist, so the customer can have sex with the animal of their choice. I wonder what the animal rights people will do. I am looking to the return of Yahshua.

Medeama team that beat Dreams

Fatawu Abdul Hamidu scored an injury-time winner for Medeama in their 3-2 dramatic win over Dreams FC in a nerve-racking match in Tarkwa on Wednesday. The left-back slotted home the match-needed winner two minutes into injury time with a sumptuous free-kick- sending fans into spontaneous jubilation.

The Mauve and Yellows are very much in the race for their first Premier League crown after an explosive performance against the Dawu-based side.

Medeama striker Jonathan Sowah scored a sublime bicycle kick in the 8th minute to open the floodgate for a five-goal thriller at the Akoon Community Park.

The visitors responded in an amazing fashion with Ishmael Dede rattling home the equaliser with a thunderbolt 20-yard drive to beat Felix Kyei to end the first half.

The second half produced another scintillating display from both teams. Jonathan Sowah scored his second on the day with an easy tap-in after Solomon Agbasi failed to deal with Prosper Owusu Boakye’s powerful strike.

When the host side thought they were home and dry, Dreams silenced the crowd with the equaliser from striker Ali  Huzaf.

Medeama pulled the chestnut out of the blazing fire after defender Fatawu Abdul Hamidu grabbed the headlines with a superb free-kick just outside the box to ensure his side bagged maximum points at home.

Medeama have now jumped to second on the league table with 47 points, three behind leaders Aduana Stars with six games left to spare.

Dreams FC are just two points above the drop zone with 34 points from 28 games.

Legon Cities players thank God for the victory

Legon Cities extended their winning run to three games on a row, after cruising to a 2-0 win against Accra Lions at the El Wak stadium in Accra. 

Goals at either side of the half from Kofi Kordzi and Ebenezer Armegah ensured the Royals collected all three points at home.

Having started the game the as best of the two sides, Legon Cities tested Accra Lions through captain Michel Otou, but the visitors were equal to the task.

The host then broke the deadlock ten minutes to half time after striker Kofi Kordzi smashed home, beating goalkeeper Andrews Owusu.

Just before half time, the referee awarded Legon Cities a penalty but the decision was reversed after a chat with his assistant.

Three minutes after the break, Ebenezer Armegah scored a cracking goal to double the lead for the host.

Kordzi was later replaced by Alex Aso, who had a goal ruled out due to an offside.

The win moves Legon Cities up to the 10th position with 37 points, while Accra Lions dropped to the 7th spot with 41 points after playing 28 matches in the campaign.

King Faisal coach in a pep talk with his players

King Faisal failed to return to winning ways after sharing the spoils with Bechem United in the Ghana Premier League match-week 28 on Wednesday afternoon.

Bechem United maintained their spot in the top-four of the Ghana Premier League table after holding King Faisal to a 0-0 draw at the Dr. Kwame Kyei Sports Complex.

King Faisal commenced the game with intense pressure with the hope of getting the opener in the early minutes. Coach Ignatius Osei-Fosu’s side came close to opening the score sheet through a free-kick effected by Godfred Asiamah, but he was denied by the woodwork in the 17th minute. Five minutes later, Benjamin Bature got a golden opportunity to put King Faisal ahead but he fired wide.

Bechem United gained possession to dominate the game in the last ten minutes when Benjamin Asiedu had lots of work to do in the sticks for the host.

Lanky attacker Emmanuel Avornyo and Clinton Duodo combined to score, but their efforts couldn’t earn them a name on the score sheet, as the first half ended in a scoreless draw.

The second half looked balanced with the two teams possessing the ball in the middle of the turf and entertaining the fans. King Faisal enjoyed majority of possession but they were unlucky to secure all the needed points.
