Capitol Intruder, Epstein Abuses, Activist Crackdown

French authorities arrested nine suspects, including an aide to a far-left lawmaker, in connection with the killing of a far-right activist in Lyon, according to a prosecutor. Meanwhile, in Washington, D.C., police apprehended an 18-year-old man armed with a loaded shotgun and extra ammunition as he ran towards the U.S. Capitol Building. Also, a United Nations panel suggested that abuses carried out by Jeffrey Epstein could constitute "crimes against humanity," and a report claims Kenyan authorities used Israeli technology to crack the phone of a prominent activist.

The arrests in France followed the death of Quentin Deranque, 23, who was fatally beaten last week by far-left activists outside a venue where Member of the European Parliament Rima Hassan was speaking, as reported by AFP and Reuters. The suspect in the Capitol Building incident, identified as Carter Camacho from Smyrna, Georgia, was wearing a tactical vest and gloves.

The UN Human Rights Council (UNHRC) experts released a statement in response to the millions of files released by the United States government related to criminal investigations into Epstein. The experts' statement suggested that the abuses committed by Epstein could meet the definition of crimes against humanity.

In Kenya, a report by Citizen Lab suggests that Kenyan authorities used Cellebrite software to break into the phone of Boniface Mwangi, a pro-democracy activist planning to run for president in 2027. Mwangi noticed his phone was no longer password protected after it was returned to him by authorities following his arrest last July. "I know that my phone calls are monitored and my messages are read," Mwangi stated, according to The Guardian.

In other news, more than 40 years ago, United States civil rights leader Jesse Jackson called on the Democratic Party to welcome Arab Americans and Palestinian rights supporters, who have suffered from decades of racism, demonization, and marginalization, according to Al Jazeera.

DEVELOPING: Tesla Avoids California Suspension After Autopilot Removal!

Tesla avoids a 30-day license suspension in California by ceasing the use of "Autopilot" in its vehicle marketing within the state, resolving a three-year-long dispute with the DMV. This decision allows Tesla to continue sales in its largest U.S. market, following concerns that the term misled consumers about the capabilities of its advanced driver-assistance systems. The company's shift to "Full Self-Driving (Supervised)" reflects an industry-wide push for clearer communication about autonomous driving features.
