Roman Starovoyt, the Russian Minister of Transport, was dismissed yesterday and found dead in his car hours later.

He died from a gunshot wound and a pistol previously awarded to him by the Ministry of Internal Affairs was found in the car. His death is being reported as a suicide.

Before becoming Minister of Transport in May 2024 Starovoyt was the governor of Kursk. His successor was arrested in April as part of an investigation into the embezzlement of funds to be used to fortify the Ukrainian border. It's being implied that his dismissal and subsequent suicide were related to his time as governor of Kursk.

According to 6th tone this is something that happens. The production, dissemination and sale of "sexual, pornographic and obscene materials" is illegal in China and this is disproportionately heavily enforced against people writing gay erotic fiction.

In 2018 a popular online gay erotica author was sentenced to 10 years imprisonment for "producing pornographic and obscene materials", in 2015 another was sentenced to 3 years imprisonment

Because 3,402% isn't quite enough but 3,404% would be going too far.

You may even wonder if you were rude in the debate, if the way you replied to a comrade may have hurt his feelings. I'm usually very careful about this. Whenever I have to criticize a comrade, the first thing I do is try to protect him to keep the criticism from being destructive, so it won't demoralize him and so, while serving as an example for others, it commits and stimulates him.

The people reject the position of French President Emmanuel Macron as he supports the junta while calling for a "civilian national unity government."

Chad's people remain on the street demonstrating against the military junta that took over the government in the aftermath of the death of President Idriss Deby.

On April 27 the military junta led by Deby's son Mahamat Deby reported the death of five civilians during the protest. Human rights organizations such as the Chadian Convention for the Defence of Human Rights (CTDDH) revealed nine fatalities.

The people reject the position of French President Emmanuel Macron as he supports the junta while calling for a "civilian national unity government."

France's support has been pivotal for the military junta to remain in power despite having shut down the parliament and annulling the constitution. Meanwhile, the opposition rejects the appointment of Deby's ally Albert Pahimi Padacke as the civilian head of a transitional government, a unilateral move carried out by the junta.
