Tabassum Khan: Muslim judge in India faces death threats after convicting 'cow vigilantes' for lynching
An Indian judge has become the target of online abuse and death threats days after she sentenced 14 men to life imprisonment for lynching a man to death.
On 12 June, the additional district and sessions judge of a court in Madhya Pradesh state, Tabassum Khan, found the men guilty of offences including murder, attempt to murder, rioting and wrongful restraint.
The crime took place in 2022, when 50-year-old Nazir Ahmad was transporting cattle at night and was intercepted by a group of self-styled "gau rakshaks" (cow protectors), armed with sticks and rods. Hindus consider cows sacred and killing them is illegal in many states.

These Diesel Engines Have Terrible Reputations For Reliability - Jalopnik
It's no secret that diesel engines are some of the most reliable out there, with countless examples of reliable old diesel engines that just won't quit. Exceptional examples include the units that motivate old Toyota and Cummins-powered Dodge and Ram trucks, which have been able to exceed 500,000 miles or even eclipse the mythical million-mile marker.

AI companies want to water down Australia’s copyright laws. Artists are outraged, Labor is split
When Anna Funder stood before a pack of journalists at Parliament House earlier this month, she presented herself not just as a writer but also a “victim of crime”.
The Stasiland author was using the analogy to illustrate how technology companies have flagrantly “hoovered up” her literary works for their own profit.
