      <description><![CDATA[<p>IF A HUNDRED GIRLS ARE MURDERED, I DON'T CARE WHO MURDERED THEM, WHERE THEY MURDERED THEM, OR WHY THEY MURDERED THEM. OR PERHAPS NOTHING MATTERS, BECAUSE WHAT NEEDS TO BE DONE IS TO STOP IT. I HAVE TO STOP THE SPECIFIC PEOPLE WHO DECIDED OR PROVOKED THIS MURDER, AND EQUALLY THE STRUCTURES AND THE SPECIFIC PEOPLE WHO MINIMIZE THE MURDER OF A HUNDRED GIRLS, WHEREVER IT HAPPENS AND BY WHOMEVER IT IS, OR BY ONE. BECAUSE MORE THAN A HUNDRED GIRLS IS MORE THAN TERRIFIC, AND NOT BEING ABLE TO EVEN WRITE DOWN HOW MANY EXACTLY BECAUSE THEY DON'T SAY IT, AND BECAUSE IT'S IMPOSSIBLE TO SERVE, TO TRULY GRASP IT, IS IGNOMINATING. It's terrible to think about the murder of even one girl, but more than a hundred girls have been murdered, massacred, at the Minab primary school in southern Iran, and no traditionally serious European media outlet wants to confirm that someone has killed between 150 and 180 girls. I don't know if, in terms of words and by saying aloud that someone has murdered a hundred children and their teachers, perhaps other readers will be distressed by not knowing who murdered them, but the fact is that no traditionally serious European media outlet wants to confirm which government did it, which political or military leader ordered the massacre. Some supposedly independent and newer digital media outlets are reporting that an attack by the United States and Israel has taken the lives of 180 civilians, mostly minors. But I don't care who they are; the point is that on February 28, 2026, someone launched an attack, likely guided by a missile, against a target—a school in a town that could be my town or yours. They were victims of bombs detonated by something non-human. We don't even know what the teachers were teaching or what the murdered girls were playing when the inhuman pseudo-leaders of puppet governments, fascinated by guided missiles, acted without sufficient precision to know for certain that they would only massacre and destroy "strategic targets," infrastructure, or human soldiers—puppets of capitalist fascism or any other religion—or irremediably lost and broken, without free will. Because even though the United Nations demands investigations and inquiries, and then offers not a word or a word of encouragement beyond denouncing it, but before whom? Before whom can we say that? Enough inhumanity, and to say enough to those who have allowed it to still be possible to murder a single girl, and more than a hundred girls and teachers, I only have in my hands actions as small and insignificant as shouting not to do things, not to write it, not to buy. I cautiously thank the president of the country where they say I live for the reactions, that he did not allow the installation of the US arsenal next to our airport, that he did not allow the use of the Madrid bases in Donald Trump, thank him for saying loudly that we will not go to any war and encourage him to make it true, that the measures he takes are done however they can, however they can, however they can, however they can, however they can, however they can. That this has happened so much, I don't know who did it, and what do I do? I read the poetry of an exiled woman, persecuted during a distant war, suicidal; the diary of another persecuted person, imprisoned and shot during a war closer to home; I watch the documentary of a survivor of another war in another place, and the suspicion is fleeting, almost a pleading wish, that it's false, that it's just images from an AI, disinformation; that the mothers who wail and win, spiritually murdered, are pixels and quite enough; that the graves dug in perfect square montage; that the girls and teachers are very much alive in the school in Minab, studying or playing; that nobody has murdered them and that it's the rulers of one country and another and the one beyond who invent it to build a Leizism of fear, and contaminate us, because the pigs rush forward and call for war and... They disregard humanity and life, but it is absolutely impossible that a primary school was bombed in 2026, although perhaps due to a misconception of how to believe, I don't want to believe it, if I do believe it, so what?</p>]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[<p><img src="https://static1.ara.cat/clip/bfc66a14-8ac1-44e5-a712-73bed15ab967_16-9-aspect-ratio_default_0.jpg" /></p><h3>A jury has unanimously found a woman guilty of murder after she broke into the home of a vulnerable elderly man in 2023 in Les Països, Ibiza. The man was the father of her former partner and died of asphyxiation after the woman set fire to the house in the early hours of the morning with him inside. The jury members, who deliberated since last Tuesday, unanimously concluded that there was sufficient evidence to convict the suspect of murder and arson. The events date back to the early morning of August 3, 2023, when the house where an elderly couple was sleeping caught fire. The woman—a nonagenarian with Alzheimer's—and her caregiver were able to escape, but the man, who was completely incapacitated, died of asphyxiation in his bed. The prosecution is seeking a life sentence with the possibility of parole for the woman, the ex-partner of the victim's son, alleging a financial motive. The defense requested her acquittal, arguing that the accusation stems solely from the suspicions of one of the victim's daughters. The accused testified last and denied all the accusations against her. She did acknowledge, however, that she left her home at 1:05 a.m. that night, as shown by the security cameras, but categorically denied going to the victim's residence. Intoxication<h3/><h3>According to the jury's findings, the victim was unable to leave her room or get out of bed. She suffered second-degree burns over most of her body and died from carbon monoxide poisoning caused by inhaling smoke from the fire. The nine members of the jury also unanimously found that the woman had keys to the burned house and was familiar with its layout and routines. The jury supported its verdict with evidence from security cameras that captured the woman's movements, which she partially denied, as well as with the conclusions of the police and fire department investigations. Regarding the woman's statement, they considered it contradictory concerning her use of a veil to cover her face, since she said she wore it out of fear of a former partner, although she was only seen wearing it in the footage that captured her leaving her home. The jury also noted contradictions between the route he admitted and claimed to have taken and what the security cameras in the area captured. Life imprisonment with the possibility of parole<h3/><p>The jury, on the other hand, considered, by six votes to three, that the defendant suffered at the time of the events from a disorder which, while affecting her understanding of the facts, did not completely negate it. With two votes in favor and seven against, the jury opposes a pardon, and by five votes in favor and four against, they oppose considering the possibility of suspending the sentence. The prosecutor and the private prosecution have maintained their request for life imprisonment with review, while the defense has already announced that it will file an appeal. </p>]]></description>
