RUSSIA, Nine Jehovah’s Witnesses sentenced to three to seven years in prison

On 5 March, a Russian court in Irkutsk convicted nine Jehovah’s Witness men, sentencing them from three to seven years of prison. The case began in 2021, when officers raided some 15 homes, beating and torturing at least 4 people (details below). Eight of the nine men convicted have been in pretrial detention for nearly 2.5 years, most spending the majority of the time in solitary confinement.  They report receiving 150-200 letters of support from friends and family each month!

  • 7 years — Yaroslav Kalin (54), Sergey Kosteyev (63), Nikolay Martynov (65), Mikhail Moysh (36), Aleksey Solnechniy (47), Andrey Tolmachev (49)
  • 6 years, 4 months – Igor Popov (36) and Denis Sarazhakov (35)
  • 3 years – Sergei Vasiliyev (72)

Jarrod Lopes, a spokesman for Jehovah’s Witnesses, stated in a press release:  “There is no logical reasonable basis for having these good men imprisoned, separated from their wives and friends.  The charges were largely based on secret audio recordings of worship services, where the men were praying, singing Christian songs, and reading from the Bible. Ironically, one of the passages read was Psalm 34:14: “Seek peace and pursue it.” What does it say about a legal system that convicts people of extremist activity for reading a Bible verse that promotes peace? It’s patently absurd. It would be a joke if the consequences weren’t so serious. We implore Russian officials to reconsider its misconceptions about Jehovah’s Witnesses and allow these peace-loving men and women to worship freely in their beloved homeland as Witnesses do in some 240 other lands.”

Case History

October 4, 2021.  About 6 am., dozens of armed national guard officers and special forces soldiers raided 13 homes of Jehovah’s Witnesses. Two men were beaten and tortured (see link to video interview).

  • At the home of Anatoly and Greta Razdobarov, officers forced their way into the couple’s bedroom. The officers dragged Greta by her hair into another room, handcuffed her with her arms behind her back, and repeatedly hit her. Meanwhile, Anatoly was stripped naked, forced to the floor, handcuffed with his arms behind his back, and kicked in the head and abdomen. Officers grabbed his handcuffed hands and wrenched him up off the ground. Anatoly writhed in pain as the weight of his body hyperextended his shoulders. Officers beat his hands while demanding that he incriminate himself and divulge information about the brothers. Officers further tortured him by trying to force a glass bottle into his buttocks. The raid on the Razdobarov’s home lasted over eight hours.
  • At the home of Nikolay and Liliya Merinov, officers entered and immediately struck Nikolay in the face with a heavy, blunt object. He fell to the floor and passed out. Upon regaining consciousness, he found an officer sitting on top of him, beating him. The officer broke Nikolay’s front teeth. Liliya was dragged out of bed by her hair and handcuffed. The officers then repeatedly physically assaulted her before eventually allowing her to get properly dressed.

October 5, 2021. Yaroslav Kalin, Sergey Kosteyev, Nikolay Martynov, Mikhail Moysh, Alexey Solnechniy and Andrey Tolmachev were placed in pretrial detention, while Sergei Vasiliyev was ordered to house arrest.

November 30, 2021. Security officials purposely crashed into Denis Sarazhakov’s car in the yard to get his attention. One of the officials pretended to be drunk. When Denis opened the door to investigate, the officers knocked him to the floor and began to search the home (village of Askiz, Republic of Khakassia).  Dennis was detained and taken 1500 km to Irkutsk. On the same day, at about 3 am., security forces in Mezhdurechensk (Kemerovo Region) raided the home of Igor Popov and detained him.

December 29, 2022. The criminal trial began (See link for additional details).

Nationwide Persecution of Jehovah’s Witnesses in Russia and Crimea

Since Russia’s Supreme Court banned the Witnesses’ activities in April 2017

  • 2,083 homes of Witnesses were raided across 74 regions
  • 794 men and women were criminally charged
  • 506 men and women were added to the federal list of extremists and terrorists (Rosfinmonitoring)
  • 415 men and women have spent some time behind bars, with 128 currently in prison.

(*) Note:  The Razdobarovs and Merinovs were not criminally charged, along with the men involved in the 5 March verdict. Both men were involved as Witnesses

Tea has a long journey from China, where, according to legend, its history began in 2737 BC. through tea ceremonies in Japan, where tea was imported by Buddhist monks who traveled to China, to making it at home easily and quickly by simply immersing a paper tea bag in hot water. Artifacts proving ancient tea consumption have been found in tombs dating back to the Han Dynasty (206 BC) and later around AD 620. in the homeland of tea, China, it is adopted as the national drink. Tea consumption is not only an experience for the senses, warming the body and bringing pleasure to the palate, tea is also a story, a legend, evoking historical events. It was the Tea Party, the Boston Tea Party of 1773, that sparked the American Revolution.

Drinking tea is also an integral part of the culture of a number of peoples, and tea ceremonies, the roots of which can be found in the rituals described in the first book dedicated to tea, have become a ritual of key importance in many countries, although it was originally a drink for the rich, as it was thought to lead to weakness and melancholy, making it unsuitable for the working poor. It was only centuries later that it became clear that, in fact, tea does not lead to weakness, but is beneficial to health and has an effective effect on the unpleasant symptoms of various diseases, supporting their treatment, depending on the herbs, plants and fruits it is made from. Most of you probably prefer delicious and aromatic teas from fruits and favorite herbs, but if you know what bay leaf tea does and how good it is for health, you would certainly include it in the bouquet of teas that you prepare at home.

What does bay leaf tea help with? We usually know the bay leaf as a spice that gives a unique taste and aroma to dishes, but it is also used to prepare a tea that is extremely beneficial for health, as it is rich in vitamin A, vitamin B6 and vitamin C. Among the proven benefits of tea consumption of bay leaf are:

  – Improvement of digestive processes: Indigestion, gas in the abdomen, difficulties with defecation can be a thing of the past with the intake of aromatic bay leaf tea. – Aiding the treatment of sinusitis Inflammatory processes in the sinuses are among the most unpleasant, as they cause heaviness and pain in the head and eyes, difficult breathing, restless sleep. Taking bay leaf tea helps treat sinus infections due to the eugenol it contains.

  – Migraine Relief: When you wonder what bay leaf tea does, you will surely be pleased to learn that it helps relieve migraines, as it is associated with a reduced quality of life due to unpleasant symptoms such as photophobia, nausea, headaches, vertigo , which prevent even the performance of elementary daily duties. Again, the eugenol contained in this tea is responsible for its effective migraine relief.

  – Combating insomnia: Sleep disorders – insomnia, difficulty falling asleep, frequent awakening lead to chronic fatigue and create a risk of developing a number of diseases, due to the fact that the body cannot recover if sleep is disturbed. The linalool in the bay leaf makes it easier to fall asleep and makes the time spent between the covers more fulfilling, so bay leaf tea can replace a glass of fresh milk before bed.

  – Improves cardiovascular health and blood pressure control: Hypertension is a scourge of modern society, which makes this blood pressure-lowering benefit of bay leaf tea even more important. Bay leaf improves cardiovascular health thanks to its potassium content. The journal Clinical Biochemistry and Nutrition also published a study showing that consuming one to three grams of bay leaf per day was associated with 26% lower levels of bad cholesterol in the blood, which is also beneficial for heart health. Bay leaf for cough – a proven remedy back in the years

– Helps treat diabetes: A study of bay leaf consumption for 30 days suggests that it helps people with type 2 diabetes improve insulin function. The hypoglycemic effect of the bay leaf is due to the phytochemicals it contains.

  – Cough relief: Bay leaf helps to relieve the accumulation of mucus in the chest and has a pronounced expectorant effect, thus easing breathing and helping to reduce coughing.

  – Reducing inflammation and relieving arthritis pain: Bay leaf tea is extremely beneficial for arthritis sufferers, due to the presence of anti-inflammatory compounds such as eugenol and linalool in the bay leaf.

Deal on new rules for more sustainable packaging in the EU
Photo de Maria Ilves sur Unsplash

On Monday, Parliament and Council reached a provisional agreement on revamped rules for more sustainable packaging, to reduce, reuse and recycle packaging, increase safety and boost the circular economy..

The new measures aim to make packaging used in the EU safer and more sustainable, by requiring all packaging to be recyclable, minimising the presence of harmful substances, reducing unnecessary packaging, boosting the uptake of recycled content and improving collection and recycling.

Less packaging and restricting certain packaging formats

The agreement sets packaging reduction targets (5% by 2030, 10% by 2035 and 15% by 2040) and requires EU countries to reduce, in particular, the amount of plastic packaging waste.

According to the deal, certain single use plastic packaging formats, such as packaging for unprocessed fresh fruit and vegetables, packaging for foods and beverages filled and consumed in cafés and restaurants, individual portions (for e.g. condiments, sauces, creamer, sugar), accommodation miniature packaging for toiletry products and shrink-wrap for suitcases in airports, would be banned from 1 January 2030.

MEPs also ensured a ban on very lightweight plastic carrier bags (below 15 microns), unless required for hygiene reasons or provided as primary packaging for loose food to help prevent food wastage.

Banning the use of “forever chemicals”

To prevent adverse health effects, Parliament secured the introduction of a ban on the use of so called “forever chemicals” (per- and polyfluorinated alkyl substances or PFASs) in food contact packaging.

Encouraging reuse and refill options for consumers

Negotiators agreed to set a specific target for reusable packaging for alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages (except e.g. milk, wine, aromatised wine, spirits) by 2030 (at least 10%). Member states may grant a five-year derogation from these requirements under certain conditions.

Final distributors of beverages and take-away food in the food service sector would be obliged to offer consumers the option of bringing their own container. They would also be required to endeavour to offer 10% of products in a reusable packaging format by 2030.

In addition, at Parliament’s request, member states are required to incentivise restaurants, canteens, bars, cafés and catering services to serve tap water, (where available, for free or for a low service fee) in a reusable or refillable format.

Recyclable packaging, better waste collection and recycling

Negotiators agreed that all packaging should be recyclable, fulfilling strict criteria to be defined through secondary legislation. Certain exemptions are foreseen for lightweight wood, cork, textile, rubber, ceramic, porcelain or wax.

Other agreed measures include:

– minimum recycled content targets for any plastic part of packaging;

– minimum recycling targets by weight of packaging waste generated and increased recyclability requirements;

– 90% of single use plastic and metal beverage containers (up to three litres) to be collected separately by 2029 (deposit-return systems).

Quote

Rapporteur Frédérique Ries (Renew, BE) said: “For the first time in an environmental law, the EU is setting targets to reduce packaging consumption, regardless of the material used. We call on all industrial sectors, EU countries and consumers to play their part in the fight against excess packaging. The ban on forever chemicals in food packaging is a great victory for the health of European consumers. It was also essential that environmental ambitions meet industrial reality. The deal fosters innovation and includes exemptions for micro-enterprises.”

Next steps

Parliament and Council need to formally approve the agreement before it can enter into force.

Background

In 2018, packaging generated a turnover of EUR 355 billion in the EU. It is an ever-increasing source of waste, the EU total having increased from 66 million tonnes in 2009 to 84 million tonnes in 2021. Each European generated 188.7 kg of packaging waste in 2021, a figure that is expected to increase to 209 kg in 2030 without additional measures.

Paris with bad news for tourists who planned to watch the opening of the Olympic Games for free

By

Tourists will not be allowed to watch the opening ceremony of the Paris Olympics for free as originally promised, the French government said, as quoted by the Associated Press.

The reason is security concerns for the outdoor event by the Seine River.

Organizers had planned a grand opening ceremony on July 26 that could be attended by around 600,000 people, most of whom could watch for free from the riverbanks, but security and logistical concerns have led the government to scale back its ambitions .

Last month, the total number of spectators who could attend the event was reduced to around 300,000 people. Now Interior Minister Gerald Darmanen said 104,000 of them would have to buy tickets with seats on the north bank of the Seine, while 222,000 would be able to watch for free from the south banks.

However, he stated that the free tickets will no longer be available to the public and will instead be replaced by invitations.

“To control the movement of the multitude of people, we cannot invite everyone to come,” stated Darmanen.

Two Home Office officials said the decision meant tourists would not be able to sign up for free entry as previously announced. Instead, access to the ceremony will be determined through quotas for selected residents of the cities where Olympic events are held, local sports federations and other individuals chosen by the organizers or their partners.

Local city councils can invite “their employees, kids from local soccer clubs and their parents,” for example, Darmanen said. Invitees will then have to undergo a security check and receive QR codes to pass through the security barriers.

Reserved seats for black people at theater performances in London have sparked controversy

A London theater’s decision to reserve seats for black people audiences for two of its productions of a play about slavery has drawn criticism from the British government, France Press reported on March 1st.

Downing Street has condemned the idea as “divisive to society”.

The Noel Coward Theater in London’s West End has scheduled two “Black Out” theater nights, which will give preference to black people audiences for two productions of Jeremy O. Harris’ play “The Game of slaves” (Slave Play), which from June 29 will be played on the London stage for nearly two months.

The play, starring Kit Harington, best known for his role in the series Game of Thrones, has enjoyed great success since its premiere on Broadway in New York in 2019. It tells a story about “race, identity and sexuality” in a plantation, says AFP.

The two theatrical performances, scheduled for July 17 and September 17 this year in the British capital, generated such a wave of reactions that they provoked a comment from the government of the Conservative Party, which is an outspoken critic of the ideology of “wokism” (a movement of “wakemen” – from English woke, born from police violence against blacks in the US), notes the agency.

“The Prime Minister is a big fan of art and believes it should be inclusive and open to all, especially where art galleries receive government funding,” said a spokesman for British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak.

“Clearly, limiting audiences based on race is wrong and divisive,” he added.

God gives shepherds according to the heart of the people

By St. Anastasius of Sinai, ecclesiastical writer, also known as Anastasius III, Metropolitan of Nicaea, lived in the 8th century.

Question 16: When the apostle says that the authorities of this world are set up by God, does this mean that every ruler, king and bishop is raised up by God?

Answer: From what God said in the Law, “And I will give you shepherds in your hearts” (Jer. 3: 15), it is clear that those princes and kings who are worthy of this honor are appointed by God; while those who are not worthy, they are set over the unworthy people according to their unworthiness, by God’s permission or will. Hear some stories about this.

When the tyrant Phocas became king and began to carry out the bloodshed through the executioner Vosonius, a monk from Constantinople, who was a holy man and had great courage before God, turned to Him with simplicity, saying: “Lord, why did you make him king?”. And after he had repeated this for many days, an answer came from God, which read: “Because I have not found a worse one.”

There was another very sinful city around Thebaid, in which many vile and indecent things happened. In this city, a very depraved resident of it suddenly fell into some false love, went, cut his hair and put on a monastic habit, but did not stop doing his evil deeds. It happened, therefore, that the bishop of that city died. An angel of the Lord appeared to a holy man and said to him: “Go and prepare the city so that they may choose as bishop one who comes from the laity.” The holy man went and did what was commanded. And as soon as the one who came from the rank of the laity was ordained, i.e. the same layman of whom we have mentioned, in the mind of (the new bishop) came dreams and high-mindedness. Then an angel of the Lord appeared to him and said to him: “Why do you think highly of yourself, wretch? You did not become a bishop because you were worthy of the priesthood, but because this city is worthy of such a bishop.”

Therefore, if you see any unworthy and wicked king, chief, or bishop, do not wonder, nor blame God’s providence, but learn and believe that because of our sins we are given over to such tyrants. But even so, we do not move away from evils.

A telescope observes for the first time an ocean of water vapor around a star

Twice as massive as the Sun, the star HL Taurus has long been in view of ground-based and space-based telescopes

The ALMA radio astronomy telescope (ALMA) has provided the first detailed images of water molecules in the disk where planets can be born from the very young star HL Tauri (HL Tauri), AFP reported, citing research published in the journal Nature Astronomers.

“I never imagined that we could get an image of a water vapor ocean in the very region where a planet is likely to form,” said Stefano Facini, an astronomer at the University of Milan and lead author of the study.

Located in the constellation Taurus and very close to Earth – “only” 450 light-years away, the star twice as massive as the Sun HL Taurus has long been in the field of view of ground-based and space-based telescopes.

The reason is that its proximity and youth – at most one million years old – offer a spectacular view of its protoplanetary disk. It is the mass of gas and dust around a star that allows planets to form.

According to theoretical models, this formation process is particularly fruitful at a specific place on the disc – the ice line. This is where the water, which is in the form of vapor near the star, turns into a solid state as it cools. Thanks to the ice that covers them, the dust grains coagulate with each other more easily.

Since 2014, the ALMA telescope has been providing unique images of the protoplanetary disk, showing alternating bright rings and dark furrows. It is believed that the latter betray the presence of the seeds of planets, which are formed by the accumulation of dust.

The study recalls that other instruments have detected water around HL Taurus, but at too low a resolution to accurately delineate the ice line. From its high altitude of over 5,000 meters in Chile’s Atacama Desert, the European Southern Observatory’s (ESO) radio telescope is the first to define this limit.

The scientists also note that, to date, ALMA is the only facility capable of spatially resolving the presence of water in a cold planet-forming disk.

The radio telescope has detected the equivalent of at least three times the amount of water contained in all of Earth’s oceans. The discovery was made in a region relatively close to the star, with a radius equal to 17 times the distance between the Earth and the Sun.

Perhaps even more significant, according to Facini, is the discovery of water vapor at various distances from the star, including in space where a planet is currently possible to form.

According to the calculations of another observatory, there is no lack of raw material for its formation – the mass of available dust is thirteen times that of the Earth.

The study will therefore show how the presence of water can affect the development of a planetary system, as it did 4.5 billion years ago in our own solar system, Facini notes.

However, the understanding of the formation mechanism of the planets of the Solar System remains incomplete.
