 Russia launches massive drone and missile barrage on Ukraine, killing at least 18 civilians and striking Kyiv and multiple cities  Russia carried out a large-scale overnight assault on Ukraine, launching hundreds of drones and dozens of missiles that killed at least 18 civilians and wounded more than 100 others across multiple cities, officials said Tuesday.

COURT RELEASES TUNISIAN MAN SENTENCED TO DEATH AFTER WIDESPREAD CRITICISM. (PHOTO).



 Court releases Tunisian man sentenced to death after widespread criticism


A Tunisian court released a man on Tuesday who had been sentenced to death just last week for Facebook posts criticising the president, following a wave of public criticism and human rights concerns over the case.

Chouchane was arrested last year.


Civil society groups and activists described last week's ruling as a shock, and it sparked a wave of criticism and ridicule on social media among activists and ordinary Tunisians.


Since Saied dissolved the elected parliament four years ago and started ruling by decree, Tunisia has faced growing criticism by rights groups over the erosion of judicial independence.
