20-year-old women's rights activist Maisa Akbari was forced by Turkey to return to Iran and was kidnapped by the Islamic Republic's security forces just hours after her arrival.
The Islamic regimes of Turkey and Iran have long collaborated in the suppression of women's rights activists.
Akbari is suffering from breast cancer and was deprived of medical care while awaiting deportation to Iran. Following her abduction and arrest by Iranian intelligence authorities, there are growing concerns that she may lose her life due to the lack of adequate medical treatment in the detention facilities of the Iranian Ministry of Intelligence.

Aujourd’hui, certains élus n’hésitent plus à :

President Trump just revealed some INCREDIBLE stats on the retiring VC-25A Air Force One:
"Over its lifetime, that aircraft traveled to 96 countries on 223 international trips and flew over 6 MILLION miles. It became the most famous airplane in the entire world."
"It's a plane that was authorized by President Ronald Reagan so many years ago. And it was flown by every president since George H.W. Bush. And it was a great plane. We had very little trouble with it."
There were actually two identical VC-25As service as Air Force One, but very few people knew that. SAM 28000 and SAM 29000
Even President Trump couldn't tell the difference until boarding.
"The only way I can tell is on the desk. The wood grain is slightly different. They're literally interchangeable."
🇺🇸🔥🇮🇹🇪🇺 Major political clash between Italy and the United States.
In a call to an Italian TV programme, @realDonaldTrump has claimed that @GiorgiaMeloni "begged" him to take a picture with her during the recent G7 summit.
Meloni has just delivered one of the sharpest public rebukes in recent US-Italy relations:
"President Trump's words are pure fantasy [...].
We do not understand why the President of the United States behaves like this, especially towards allies. We would like to see him behave as firmly with the enemies of the West [...].
Myself and Italy do not beg anybody."
Whatever one's political preferences, the President of the United States has no business publicly mocking or insulting the democratically elected leader of a close European ally.
President Trump's childish and needlessly confrontational behaviour is unworthy of the office he holds and of the great nation he represents.
.@POTUS: The other plane was about 35 years old — and it was time. We have our beautiful American flag, and we put the wave in it. Now, we have a wavy, beautiful flag — we're waving it proudly. 🇺🇸
A ceasefire is now in effect in southern Lebanon after weeks of escalating violence and the overnight reporting of four Israeli soldiers being killed.
The agreement was reportedly brokered by Qatar, the United States, and with help from Iran.
President Trump and the White House also sending a message to Israel, warning that the country needs to moderate its response to Lebanon, @Max_Gorden reports.
Le gravi e offensive parole del Presidente Trump nei confronti del Presidente del Consiglio Giorgia Meloni offendono tutta l’Italia. Per questo motivo ho deciso di annullare la mia visita negli Stati Uniti prevista per i prossimi 21 e 22 giugno.
