Apparent attempt to hack Rade Bajić’s iPhone comes amid efforts to undermine landmark criminal case A Serbian prosecutor who investigated the authorities’ allegedly illegal scheme to help the Trumps build a tower in Belgrade has been targeted with advanced spyware, expert analysis indicates.

The state takeover of Halk TV, one of Turkey’s most widely watched news channels, represents far more than an isolated confrontation between the authorities and an independent broadcaster. For Milena Buyum, Amnesty International’s Turkey campaigner, it is part of a broader erosion of media pluralism, characterized by the appointment of state trustees, the detention of journalists and mounting restrictions on independent digital platforms. Buyum describes the intervention as a "brutal attack on media freedom in Turkey,” framing it within a sustained crackdown on independent journalism that has intensified since March 2025.

Officers were also overwhelmed by determined flashmobs: some radical militants hellbent on a fight, others who came for the looting. The whole world watched the assault on symbols of the Republic like the 19th-century city hall in Limoges, the usually quiet porcelain capital of France.
