    After a lengthy trial, the Rome Court of Assizes convicted three Egyptian intelligence officers—Major Magdi Ibrahim Abdelal Sharif, Colonels Uhsam Helmi, and Athar Kamel Mohamed Ibrahim—for their role in the kidnapping of Giulio Regeni in 2016. Regeni, a 28-year-old Italian researcher, was found dead in Cairo with signs of torture. The fourth defendant, General Tariq Sabir, was acquitted. The court dismissed the murder charge but upheld kidnapping charges, sentencing the three officers to 10 years in prison each.

    First Woman in 200 Years to be Executed in Tennessee

    Christa Pike, 50, is set to be executed on September 30, becoming the first woman to face the death penalty in Tennessee in over 200 years. Pike was convicted for the 1995 murder of 19-year-old Colleen Slemmer. Her lawyers argue that her history of sexual abuse and neglect as a child should warrant clemency, but the state maintains the death penalty. Pike has requested an all-female execution team to avoid being restrained by men, which would trigger traumatic memories.
