US Secretary of State Antony Blinken vehemently condemned Myanmar's military regime for imposing an additional three-year sentence, including hard labor, on ousted leader Aung San Suu Kyi for alleged electoral fraud.
This latest ruling escalates Suu Kyi's total jail time to two decades, prompting Blinken to call for concerted international efforts to hold the regime accountable for its escalating violence and suppression of democratically elected leaders.

President Macron condemned widespread rioting and looting during nationwide protests, blaming far-left activists and criminals for the "unrestrained violence" and vowing accountability for those who "sought to bring down the Republic."
Over 2,400 arrests were made as protests against rising living costs and poor school conditions escalated, causing extensive damage to public buildings and businesses in cities like Paris, Limoges (where City Hall burned), Marseille, and Lyon.
The unrest, which organizers hoped would revive the "yellow vest" movement, saw political leaders trade blame, with Macron instructing prefects to protect public buildings and potentially ban future protests to prevent further disorder.
