Iran rearrests prominent conservationists freed just two years ago
Iranian security forces in Tehran arrested wildlife conservationists Houman Jowkar and Sepideh Kashani, alongside Sepideh’s sister, Sima Kashani, on July 1, 2026, according to reports from multiple Iranian news sources.
Jowkar and Sepideh, who are married, are experts on the critically endangered Asiatic cheetah (Acinonyx jubatus venaticus) and were previously arrested in 2018 on espionage charges related to their alleged use of camera traps.

What's happening inside Israeli detention facilities? | Fault Lines Documentary
Into the Darkness investigates allegations that torture is used systematically against Palestinians held in the Israeli prison system and military detention facilities.
Through powerful firsthand testimony, former detainees recount beatings, starvation, sexual violence, medical neglect and psychological abuse.
The film follows the stories of Mohammad Ibrahim, a Palestinian American arrested at the age of 15 for throwing stones, and a former detainee from Gaza whose harrowing testimony details extreme sexual violence. Their accounts reveal the human cost of a detention system that rights groups and former prisoners say operates with impunity.
Filmed across Gaza, the occupied West Bank, Tel Aviv, Florida and London, the documentary examines allegations that these practices are carried out under the authority of the Israeli military and Israeli officials, including National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir.

Trump EPA Approves Two More ‘Forever Chemical’ Pesticides for Use on Most Widely Grown U.S. Crops
Two new “forever chemical” pesticides are among multiple dangerous pesticides approved today by the Trump Environmental Protection Agency for use on food crops, including corn, wheat, kiwi, oats, peas and coffee.
The controversial approvals come just days after the Supreme Court sided with Bayer and the Trump administration in limiting Americans’ ability to sue pesticide companies for harms linked to pesticides.
Today’s approvals include two new PFAS pesticides never before used in the United States. Diflufenican and epyrifenacil can now both be used on corn and soybeans, the two most widely grown U.S. crops. Epyrifenacil has also been approved on wheat. A previously EPA-approved “forever chemical” pesticide called bifenthrin also got approval for use on additional foods, including coffee, kiwifruit, peas, kale and broccoli.
