Talks on Iran nuclear deal
Iran and the remaining signatories to the 2015 nuclear deal resume talks aimed at reviving the agreement called the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action or the JCPOA. The talks take place in Vienna and follow the first round of discussions held Tuesday. Tehran says the sides are still far from reaching a concrete conclusion, but that the negotiations are progressing. The meetings focus on the removal of US sanctions on Iran. Tehran says all sanctions imposed, re-imposed, or re-labeled after the US 2018 withdrawal from the agreement should be removed. Iran says it will verify the removal of the sanctions and then will return to compliance with the accord.
South Korean ship released
Iran’s foreign ministry has confirmed the release of a South Korean ship that Iranian armed forces detained in January. The ministry’s spokesman said the ship was freed at the request of South Korea and after investigations were completed. Saeed Khatibzadeh said Iran had taken into account that the vessel and its captain had no record of past violations in the region. Earlier on Friday, South Korea said the ship had departed Iran. Seoul said the captain and sailors are in good health; the ship and its cargoes have no problems. The Hankuk Chemi was seized near the Strait of Hormuz. At the time Iran said the vessel had breached maritime environmental laws.
Australian aboriginal deaths
New findings show that the number of aboriginal people killed in Australian police and prison custody has sharply increased since 2019. The findings have been provided by Guardian Australia. That’s the Australian website of the British Daily, the Guardian. Its research has registered the number of aboriginal deaths in police and prison custody in Australia since 1991. It shows the number was 424 in 2019. It jumped to 474 this year, with at least five of them happening since the beginning of March. The research says those killed were more likely to not have been charged with any crime. It also says indigenous people who died in Australian custody received less medical care than non-Indigenous people. Some Australian officials have called the high death toll a national shame.
