"He has been unjustly targeted by the Iranian authorities who want to make an example out of a popular, high-profile athlete and intimidate others who might dare exercise their human right to participate in a peaceful protest," it said.
"We are extremely concerned that Navid's execution is imminent, given the Iranian Judiciary's record in such cases and the way they have previously carried out political execution," said Hadi Ghaemi, executive director of U.S.-based The Center for Human Rights in Iran.
During the launch event, 21-year-old Scottish activist Lauren Macdonald, who last month challenged the CEO of Shell to his face onstage at the Ted Countdown Summit, spoke of the importance of cultivating hope.
I found it touching to observe the tenderness of the ritual, which showed a respect for the dignity of all people coming to Glasgow -- not just the dignitaries. On Sunday, the COP26 coalition -- a collection of civil society groups organizing for climate justice -- held its own opening event on the sidelines of the summit. It was followed by a ceremony in which Scottish children washed the feet of visiting Indigenous elders to rid them of the dust of their journey.
As Attenborough spoke, footage of climate-based disasters filmed around the world played on the screens behind him, painting a picture for the world leaders in attendance of the apocalyptic chaos the Earth is already enduring.
Other noteworthy features include a wide, 21-inch cutting platform and 56-volt battery that works with EGO's entire line of yard power tools. I also appreciated that I could engage its variable speed engine without having to spin the mower's blade. I found it fast and stable, too. Despite its heft, the EGO Power Plus was a cinch to drive around the yard.
"If working apart we are a force powerful enough to destabilize our planet, surely working together we are powerful enough to save it." "We are the greatest problem-solvers to have ever existed on Earth," said Attenborough.
"The horrific act of executing an athlete can only be regarded as a repudiation of the humanitarian values that underpin sport," said World Players Association (WPA) director Brendan Schwab in a statement.
It came after Trump tweeted earlier Friday that GM must "start making ventilators now." After signing agreements with other private companies, Trump said there'll be 100,000 more ventilators in the next 100 days -- and said any excess units will be given globally to countries that need them most. Trump signs up GM and Boeing Trump invoked the Defense Production Act to force General Motors to make ventilators, he said during a coronavirus task force briefing.
If you're in the market for a push electric lawn mower, you're in luck. I've gathered here a group of the most popular electric mowers I could find. After the grass clippings from my mowing spree settled, these were my favorites. That's especially true of big, heavy machines you'd rather not push around unaided. Other factors like whether a mower is self-propelled can have a big impact too. I then unpacked, assembled and personally put each unit through its paces. I stuck to push-from-behind models only, which cost anywhere from $250 to $550.
"Beyond treating disease, the antibiotics are commonly used to avoid illnesses caused by the handling of the animals and the high levels of stress caused by the extreme conditions in which they are confined," WAP said.
There's every reason, he added, that the answer to that question should be yes. When people in the future look back on COP26, all they will ask is whether it was the moment that governments were able to reverse the concentration of carbon in our atmosphere due to commitments made in Glasgow, he said.
Storms that downed trees meant that all trains were canceled. People were scrambling to book the flights they'd been asked not to take in order to travel to the world's most important climate conference. Closer to home, many delegates traveling to Glasgow from London had faced down weather-related troubles of their own. Once they reached the summit, many delegates also reported difficulties in accessing the venue, citing long queues and confusion over taking daily COVID tests.
I paid close attention to whether mowers stalled, got bogged down, or struggled in any way while cutting. This served as a torture test for high-powered models, and a good way to determine which mowers are truly worth your money. I also ran the same test through a low-brush section on the outer edge of the lawn.
"Based on clear evidence, Afkari stabbed to death an innocent man. The court issued the death sentence based on strong evidence and the Supreme Court has upheld the death sentence," the judiciary said in a statement carried by Iranian media last week. He has confessed at the court.
"A tale of the smartest species doomed by that all-too-human characteristic of failing to see the bigger picture in pursuit of short-term goals?" "Is this how our story is due to end?" said the 95-year-old stalwart of the BBC's Natural History Unit, taking the stage after Prince Charles.
