 Russia Backs African Demands for Colonial Reparations  Russia has thrown its support behind African and Caribbean nations seeking compensation from former colonial powers.  Speaking at the St. Petersburg International Legal Forum, former Russian President Dmitry Medvedev said Western countries should be held accountable for centuries of colonial exploitation and slavery.  “We are ready to actively support their endeavors to demand reparations and compensation from their former colonial powers.”  Medvedev argued that former colonial states have both the financial capacity and moral responsibility to compensate for the "colossal damage" caused by colonialism, RT reported He also called for colonialism to be officially recognized as a crime against humanity under international law. The remarks come as global momentum grows for reparations, following a UN resolution recognizing the transatlantic slave trade as “the gravest crime against humanity.”

  Bairon Hernandez has been charged with murder after allegedly pushing an 83-year-old man onto subway tracks in Manhattan, an attack that led to the elderly man’s death a week later. Hernandez is also accused of shoving another person onto the tracks the same day, March 8, at the Lexington Avenue-63rd Street station.

Authorities say the assault was random and unprovoked. Investigators reported that Hernandez first pushed a 30-year-old man onto the tracks before approaching Richard Williams, who was walking with a cane, and shoving him as well. Williams fell, hitting his head and suffering a brain bleed, and died nine days later from his injuries. The younger victim sustained less severe injuries, and both were rescued by Good Samaritans before any trains arrived. Hernandez, 34, was arrested two days after the attack and faces charges including second-degree murder and attempted assault. Family members described Williams as an active, independent man who loved life on Roosevelt Island, calling the attack “abhorrent” and “unthinkable.”
