As more women forgo the hijab, Iran’s government pushes back

Published Fri, 22 Nov 2024 10:07:21 GMT

TEHRAN, Iran (AP) — Billboards across Iran’s capital proclaim that women should wear their mandatory headscarves to honor their mothers. But perhaps for the first time since the chaotic days following Iran’s 1979 Islamic Revolution, more women — both young and old — choose not to do so.Such open defiance comes after months of protests over the September death of 22-year-old Mahsa Amini in the custody of the country’s morality police, for wearing her hijab too loosely. While the demonstrations appear to have cooled, the choice by some women not to cover their hair in public poses a new challenge to the country’s theocracy. The women’s pushback also lays bare schisms in Iran that had been veiled for decades.Authorities have made legal threats and closed down some businesses serving women not wearing the hijab. Police and volunteers issue verbal warnings in subways, airports and other public places. Text messages have targeted drivers who had women without head covering in ...

AUSTIN, Texas (AP) — Prosecutors are seeking at least 25 years in prison for a U.S. Army sergeant who fatally shot an armed man during a Black Lives Matter protest in Texas, saying his history of racist and provocative texts and social media posts expose a threat of violence likely to resurface.Daniel Perry, 36, is scheduled to be sentenced Wednesday.

They had been excluded from Perry’s trial, but were publicly released after his conviction and allowed into the sentencing phase by District Judge Clifford Brown.Prosecutor Guillermo Gonzalez urged Brown to issue a sentence of at least 25 years.

What to know about the mass shooting at a Texas mall

Published Fri, 22 Nov 2024 10:07:21 GMT

ALLEN, Texas (AP) — It took four minutes for a neo-Nazi with an arsenal of firearms to kill eight people and wound seven others at a Dallas-area shopping center before a police officer ended the rampage, likely saving untold lives.The massacre Saturday sent hundreds of shoppers at the Allen Premium Outlets scrambling for cover in shops, storerooms and closed hallways. Those killed included two elementary school-age sisters, a couple and their 3-year-old son, and a security guard who had helped others escape.Allen, a multicultural suburb of 105,000, is left as the latest U.S. community rent by an eruption of violence in a year that has seen an unprecedented pace of mass killings.Investigators say they have yet to establish a motive and that the gunman had no criminal record. But they’ve acknowledged the authenticity of a social media account on which he displayed a fascination with white supremacy while offering what are, in retrospect, chilling hints of his research and planni...

Soler smashes two HRs, has five RBIs, Marlins beat D-backs

Published Fri, 22 Nov 2024 10:07:21 GMT

PHOENIX (AP) — It was just four years ago when Jorge Soler smashed 48 homers in one season to lead the American League.A couple massive blasts on Tuesday night served notice that the hard-swinging Cuban might have another season like that coming.Soler hit two long homers and had five RBIs, Jesus Luzardo threw six effective innings and the Miami Marlins beat the Arizona Diamondbacks 6-2.Miami’s Jazz Chisholm Jr. reached base three times in front of Soler, rounding the bases twice while watching the homers.“They looked like shooting stars, I’ll tell you that,” Chisholm said.Soler’s first homer was a 468-foot shot in the second inning that landed on the concourse behind the left-center seats and gave the Marlins a 4-1 lead. His second homer was a two-run blast in the fifth that landed near the same area, just not quite as deep.“There’s not too many guys that have that kind of raw, real power,” Marlins manager Skip Schumaker said. “He’s a smart player, too....
