16th September 2023 marks one year since the tragic death of Iranian woman Jina 'Mahsa' Amini. The Greens are pleased to see the Albanese government finally commit to further sanctions on people linked to the Iranian regime. In solidarity with the Iran diaspora in Australia, the Australian Greens are calling on the Australian Government to go further and list the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps as a terrorist organisation under the Criminal Code Act 1995. Additionally, the Australian Greens are calling for the government to support at the United Nations General Assembly the implementation of the recommendations of the UN Special Rapporteur on Iran and the Working Group on Enforced or Involuntary Disappearances, regarding making an explicit reference to the need for accountability over the enforced disappearances and arbitrary executions that took place in the 1988 Massacre of Political Prisoners in Iran.

LVIV, Ukraine — Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky carries a pistol and would have fought to the death with his inner circle had the Russians stormed his Kyiv headquarters at the start of the war, he said in an interview shown on Saturday.

I believe this would be a disgrace,' he told the 1+1 television channel. In the first days after the Feb. 24, 2022 invasion, Ukrainian officials said Russian intelligence units tried to break into Kyiv but were defeated and failed to reach Bankova Street in the center, home to the presidential offices.

Joe Mazzulla will return as head coach of the Boston Celtics despite losing a winner-take-all NBA playoff showdown with Miami, Celtics president of basketball operations Brad Stevens said Thursday. The Celtics could have become the first team in NBA history to win a playoff series after dropping the first three games but were routed 103-84 by the Heat on Monday in the seventh game of the Eastern Conference finals. Mazzulla's fate was in doubt after woeful performances in key games, but Stevens made it clear the Celtics, who promoted assistant Mazzulla after the firing of Ime Udoka as coach last September and removed his interim tag in February, is the man for the job.
