It is a 'theatre of the absurd': Mahua Moitra on TMC rebel faction electing Arup Roy as chairperson

Hours after the rebel faction elected Arup Roy as chairperson, TMC MP Mahua Moitra on Tuesday said it is a 'Theatre of the absurd'. She added that all of these in the rebel faction have become MPs and MLAs in the name of TMC chief Mamata Banerjee and the party symbol. She added that every single day since this TMC government fell, not a day has gone by without a TMC minister or leader being arrested. “Whenever someone is arrested, the police cannot simply parade them around on the streets without a trial. This is beyond the limits of the law, and the government is answerable for this, she said.

Judges in Tennessee district mysteriously recuse from lawsuit against MAGA influencer

The lawsuit by late conservative activist Charlie Kirk's chief bodyguard against MAGA influencer Candace Owens just took a bizarre turn.In a new order by Chief U.S. District Judge William Campbell, it was revealed that the case cannot move forward in the Middle District of Tennessee for now — because very judge who could hear the matter has recused from it.As all District Judges and Magistrate Judges of the Middle District of Tennessee have recused in this matter, a District Judge from outside the District will be designated by the Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals, wrote Campbell. When the designation is made, the case will be reassigned.It was unclear at press time why every district and magistrate judge in the district is conflicted from hearing the case.Harpole's lawsuit accuses Owens, a notorious conspiracy theorist, of defamation for her repeated claims he might have been in on a conspiracy to orchestrate the murder of Kirk, who was sniped from a nearby building during an event for his Turning Point USA organization at Utah Valley University last year. Owens has also lobbed accusations at Kirk's wife Erika, all without any evidence.The actual alleged shooter, Tyler Robinson, is currently on trial, though that trial has also taken several turns as a state prosecutor was sanctioned for talking about the case to the media.

Labour's jury trial reforms are a threat to free speech, says former High Court judge

A former High Court judge has warned that Labour's plans to curtail the right to trial by jury pose a direct threat to freedom of speech and protest. Sir Stephen Mitchell argues that jury trials are a critical safeguard against politically motivated prosecutions—particularly in Public Order cases where free expression is at stake—and that removing them would hand the Government a mechanism to bypass that protection in sensitive cases.
