A Delhi court has acquitted former BJP MP and ex-Wrestling Federation of India (WFI) chief Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh and co-accused Vinod Tomar in the sexual harassment case filed by women wrestlers. The case, which followed the high-profile protests at Delhi's Jantar Mantar, had become one of the most closely watched legal battles in Indian sport. After hearing final arguments, the court delivered its verdict, bringing the trial to a close for now.

A new report by an international humanitarian consortium has raised serious concerns over alleged sexual violence and coercive practices in the occupied West Bank. Drawing on testimonies collected over a three-year period, researchers describe patterns of abuse, including forced nudity, invasive searches, and public humiliation, allegedly carried out by Israeli soldiers and settlers. The report documents multiple cases of conflict-related sexual violence, while warning that the true scale may be significantly underreported. According to the findings, such acts are not isolated incidents but may be contributing to a broader climate of fear, with some families citing sexualized harassment as a tipping point in their decision to leave their homes.
