As Mr Tice talked about the deeply troubling problem of antisemitism in the UK and how it should be tackled, the demonstrator held up a placard saying: “Voting Reform? They think you’re stupid.” He then turned the placard round to reveal another slogan: “You need the NHS, Reform would sell it.” But the stunt instantly backfired, with outraged viewers taking to social media to slam the protester’s terrible timing. One person wrote on social media site X: “Imagine being so shameless. Richard Tice speaking to GB News about the fact that two Jews have just been stabbed in Golders Green in yet ANOTHER antisemitic attack in Britain. And this man thinks it’s an appropriate time to do this. “I’m sure he would have been able to hear what was being discussed and chose to do it anyway. Disgusting.” Mr Tice replied to the post by saying the “vile man” was “unhinged”. He added: “Totally abhorrent. I gave him a piece of my mind after the interview.” Police wrestled the suspected terror attacker in Golders Green …
Iran to execute first female anti-regime protester Bita Hemmati (Image: X) The Islamic Republic of Iran is poised to execute Bita Hemmati, who is set to become the first female protester to be hanged in connection with the recent anti-regime uprising. Hemmati is amongst an estimated 1,600 individuals sentenced to death by the regime over the past year. The protests, which broke out across the nation in January, have been brutally crushed by government forces. Following a hasty trial, Hemmati, her 34 year old husband Mohammadreza Majid Asl, and two other men, Behrouz and Kourosh Zamaninezhad, were all handed death sentences. A source close to the prisoners’ families, according to HRANA, said: “Mohammadreza Majidi-Asl and Bita Hemmati are a couple living in Tehran, and Amir Hemmati is a relative of the two. Kourosh Zamaninejad and Behrouz Zamaninejad were living in the same residential building, and their arrests took place simultaneously.” Iranian judge Iman Afshari alleged the individuals “injured forces at the scene” and the use of “explosive materials and unspecified weapons” at protests on January …
(RNS) — A Muslim woman who was the last pro-Palestinian protester still in immigration custody after the Trump administration’s 2025 campus crackdown walked free from a Texas detention center Monday (March 16). Leqaa Kordia, a 33-year-old Palestinian woman who has lived in New Jersey for 10 years and had been in custody for a year, was detained last March after protesting near Columbia University against Israel’s bombing campaign in Gaza, which killed nearly 200 of her family members. “Alhamdullah (thank God) I am free, after a long hard year,” she told worshippers at the Valley Ranch Islamic Center in Irving, Texas, hours after her release. “It wasn’t easy in ICE’s dungeons.” Kordia was freed Monday on a $100,000 bond after an immigration judge ordered her release on Friday, her lawyers said. It’s the third time a judge has ordered her release. The Department of Homeland Security challenged the first two rulings and kept her in detention. In February, Kordia was hospitalized for a seizure and unreachable by her lawyers and family for three days, renewing …

Up to 36,500 civilians are estimated to have been murdered by the regime following by ordinary people an uprising in January. On the BBC this morning, Kuenssberg asked Seyed Ali Mousavi, Iran’s ambassador to the UK, how he could justify his government’s brutality towards its own people. She said: “Since we last spoke, your government has killed thousands of its own people in the streets who had the courage to stand up to protest against the suffering that they have been experiencing at the hands of the regime. “Thousands of people were killed. How on earth do you justify that, ambassador?” Ali Mousavi admitted Iran “has our own problems”, which he blamed on western sanctions imposed on the country. And he insisted all Iranians were now united following the military action launched on the country by America and Israel. He said: “Our people are in a very painful and sensitive period of time, but they are supporting the government …

A demonstrator in Minneapolis has reportedly bitten off a Homeland Security agent’s finger on the same day an American man was fatally shot by a federal officer. This shocking incident occurred just hours after distressing video footage emerged of Alex Pretti being killed by a Border Patrol agent. Department of Homeland Security officials have stated that one of their officers will lose a finger following an assault by a protester. Tricia McLaughlin, Assistant Secretary of the Department of Homeland Security, shared a post stating: “In Minneapolis, these rioters attacked our law enforcement officer and one of them bit off our HSI officer’s finger.” She further commented: “He will lose his finger.” This comes in the wake of Donald Trump‘s startling response to the fatal shooting of an American citizen by a federal agent. McLaughlin also posted images of two individuals, a man and a woman, who are allegedly implicated in the incident, although their identities and exact involvement remain unconfirmed.
