Spain’s Pedro Sánchez Calls Early Election Amid Housing Crisis Fallout

In a landmark case, a court in Seoul convicted a care home director named Kim of raping three intellectual‑disabled residents and sentenced him to 15 years in prison. The abuse, which began shortly after the victims entered the state‑funded facility in 2016, was revealed after a head injury in 2025. The verdict has prompted nationwide scrutiny of institutional protections for disabled people and the government has announced reforms and inspections of 1,507 care homes.

Thousands of supporters of Pakistan’s jailed former prime minister Imran Khan have begun a march toward Islamabad, protesting his detention and demanding medical care. Protesters, numbering around 5,000 in the city of Lakki Marwat, are citing the former cricketer’s deteriorating health and a perceived politically‑motivated trial. The march, halted overnight, is expected to resume on Monday and may reach a town 80 km west of the capital by Thursday. Pakistani authorities have blocked key routes with shipping containers, while the PTI argues that talks with the government failed over access to Khan and medical examination requests. Khan, who is facing over 100 corruption charges, has been held since August 2023 and has previously received a brief medical transfer to a state‑run hospital; his family complains the court‑ordered examination at a private hospital was ignored.
