South Korean doomsday cult members arrested in Fiji

 Four suspected high-ranking members of a South Korean doomsday cult have been arrested in Fiji.

Two were deported, but a legal injunction prevented the others from being ejected, Fiji media report.

The Grace Road Church became notorious after 400 of its members moved to Fiji in 2014 claiming they would be safe from imminent natural disaster.

Its founder Shin Ok-ju was jailed in 2019 for holding followers captive in Fiji and subjecting them to violence.

The Church has built a business empire after arriving in Fiji.

It denies it is a cult - as well as allegations of abuse.

However, members who have been able to return to South Korea have accused Ms Shin of confiscating their passports and holding them against their will.

They have alleged the Church uses forced labour and issues ritual beatings so harsh that they have led to the death of one follower.

South Korea issued an international arrest warrant and those on Fiji's deportation list have been wanted by the international policing organisation Interpol since 2018.

Two of those arrested in Fiji, Byeong Joon Lee and Beomseop Shin, have been returned, Fijian Home Affairs Minister Pio Tikoduadua announced on Wednesday.

Two other members, including the group's acting president Sung Jin Lee, were released after a High Court order prevented them from being deported.

The Church's acting senior director and president of its business interests, Daniel Kim, is among the two men still at large. He is the son of the founder of the Church.

Mr Tikoduadua described the allegations of abuse against Grace Road Church members as a "long pending issue" and accused the country's previous government, which was defeated in December's general election, of ignoring calls to deport them.

Grace Road Church's businesses in Fiji, operating under the name Grace Road Group, are wide-ranging - from construction to restaurants to agriculture, with labour provided by the Church's followers.

Mayor's house burnt down in Libya flood protests

 The mayor's home in the Libyan city of Derna has been burnt to the ground, as hundreds of protesters demanded answers for last week's catastrophic flood. They gathered on Monday evening at the city's landmark Sahaba Mosque, some crying and chanting for top officials in Libya's eastern government to be sacked. More than 10,000 people are officially missing after two old and dilapidated dams burst, flooding the city. At least 4,000 people have died. The home of Derna's mayor, Abdulmenam al-Ghaithi, has become a focal point for people's anger. Residents say they were not sufficiently warned by officials, who they believe must have known a huge amount of rainfall was coming. They say they were also given a stay-at-home warning rather than told to evacuate, although officials deny this. the purvanchal files full movie download   the purvanchal files full movie download   the purvanchal files full movie download   expend4bles movie online   expend4bles movie online

Germany's far-right AfD wins first city mayor poll

The far-right Alternative for Germany, or AfD, has won its first mayoral election in a city. AfD leader Alice Weidel described the result in Pirna, Saxony, as "historic". Tim Lochner, a former carpenter, won 38.5 per cent after a run-off vote against two right-wing candidates on Sunday. The party's victory is being seen across Germany as a bellwether before key state and local elections next year. The victory also came days after the party in Saxony was officially labelled "extremist" by the country's intelligence services. While at the local level it has previously won seats on councils, it has repeatedly lost mayoral elections in large towns and cities. dunki movie online   dunki movie online   dunki movie online   dunki full movie download   dunki full movie download   dunki full movie download   dunki full movie download   dunki full movie download   dunki full movie download   dunki full movie download   dunki full movie download   dunki full movie down

Ex-US Speaker Nancy Pelosi, 83, to seek re-election

 Nancy Pelosi, the former Speaker of the US House of Representatives, says she will seek re-election next November. Mrs Pelosi, 83, was first elected to her San Francisco district in 1987, before serving two terms as speaker between 2007-2011 and 2019-2023. She led House Democrats for two decades before standing down as leader after Republicans won last year's election. Her decision to run again is sure to reignite debate about the age of US political leaders. "Now more than ever our City needs us to advance San Francisco values and further our recovery," Ms Pelosi wrote in a post on X, formerly known as Twitter. "Our country needs America to show the world that our flag is still there, with liberty and justice for ALL. That is why I am running for re-election - and respectfully ask for your vote." Mrs Pelosi is the first woman in US history to serve as speaker of the House and has played a critical role in advancing - or thwarting - the agendas of multiple pres
