Caucasus/Russia/Central Asia
Suspect gets suspended sentence for extremist publication
Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited.
[KavkazUzel] The court sentenced a resident of the Akhtyn district to one year conditionally, having found him guilty of publications calling for extremism on the Internet. 

According to law enforcement officers, a resident of the village of Akhty posted videos on the Internet that contain calls for extremist activities. 

The Akhtyn District Court gave him a suspended year, having found him guilty under the article on public calls for extremist activities via the Internet, RIA Dagestan reported on January 5. The man admitted his guilt, the verdict came into force, the message says.

The maximum punishment under Part 2 of Article 280 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation (public calls for extremist activities using information and telecommunication networks, including the Internet) is five years in prison.

The "Caucasian Knot" has not yet received any comments from the convict or his representatives regarding the verdict.

The "Caucasian Knot" also wrote that in October 2021, a court in Derbent sentenced a local resident to a suspended sentence, finding him guilty of calling for extremism through a social network.

Europe
France bans extreme-right group over violence against anti-racists at Zemmour rally
[IsraelTimes] Decree says Zouaves Gay Paree group propagated ’openly racist discourse;’ members blamed for attacks on protestors at Jewish “far-right”
...scare quotes mine...
presidential candidate’s campaign event.


La Belle France banned an extreme-right youth group Wednesday known as the "Zouaves Gay Paree," who are blamed for attacks on anti-racism activists at a raucous rally last month by far-right presidential candidate Eric Zemmour.
...the eminent, contrary Le Figaro columnist and nationalist public intellectual whose Jewish Berber parents left Algeria for la belle France in the 1950s...
"The group ’Zouaves Gay Paree’ was banned this morning at a cabinet meeting, in line with the instructions of the President" Emmanuel Macron, Interior Minister Gerald Darmanin wrote on Twitter, saying the group had incited "hatred and violence."

The decree prohibiting the group, founded in 2017 and believed to have only around 20 hardcore members, said it "propagated an openly racist discourse" that included "symbols of Nazi ideology" and "white superiority."
Putting on Nazi symbols causes the IQ to drop by 25 points.
Members were accused of assaulting activists from SOS Racisme
...officially an activist arm of various Socialist political parties across Europe, but in the case of the Norwegian branch both open Maoists and convicted fraudsters. If not actually Antifa, they provide the sea in which Antifa activists swim...
at the December 5 rally by Zemmour shortly after the controversial pundit announced his candidacy for the 2022 presidential elections.
Queerly enough, it appears neither SOS Racisme nor any of the other 50 or so left and far left groups protesting Mr Zemmour that day have been reported as banned, despite the fact that they were the ones who started the festivities. But France has a tradition of violent leftists that goes back to the French Revolution.
Its leader Marc de Cacqueray-Valmenier, 23, was detained and charged with assault. The group takes its name from elite units of French troops who fought in Africa in the 19th century.

Zemmour, who is Jewish, is accused by opponents of being a racist, an allegation he denies. He has, however, repeatedly criticized Islam and immigration, which he says are harming French identity.

The rally was marked by festivities with anti-racism activists, and Zemmour himself was at one point put in a headlock and suffered an injury to his wrist.

Zemmour’s campaign enjoyed a surge in popularity ahead of the declaration of his candidacy, but it appears to have slackened in recent weeks, although most polls still predict he will win around 15 percent in the first round.

He is currently facing a struggle to muster the 500 signatures needed from French mayors to formally register his candidacy.

#1  Leftists attack Zemmour -> crickets
Zemmour's guards defend him vs leftists -> "racists" "incite hatred and violence"

#2  It’s interesting that those labelled as Nazis are defending a Jewish presidential candidate against Jew-haters... if that was the dynamic that day.

Syria-Lebanon-Iran
Iran foreign minister says ready to restore relations with Saudi Arabia at any time
[SHAFAQ] Iran's foreign minister Hossein Amirabdollahian said an ongoing dialogue with Saudi Arabia
...a kingdom taking up the bulk of the Arabian peninsula. Its primary economic activity involves exporting oil and soaking Islamic rubes on the annual hajj pilgrimage. The country supports a large number of princes in whatcha might call princely splendor. Fifteen of the nineteen WTC hijackers were Saudis, and most major jihadi commanders were Saudis, to include Osama bin Laden. Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman quietly folded that tent in 2016, doing terrible things to the guys running it, and has since been dragging the kingdom into the current century...
was positive and constructive and Tehran was ready to restore relations at any time, Al Jazeera TV reported on Thursday.
"On OUR terms"
Iran's representatives to the Organisation of Islamic Cooperation will return to Jeddah within days, the news channel cited Amirabdollahian as saying.

The minister also said he believed in the importance of a broad regional dialogue that included Saudi Arabia, Egypt and The Sick Man of Europe Turkey
...the decaying remnant of the Ottoman Empire...
to solve the region's problems.

U.N. Condemns Villagers Attack against Its Lebanon Peacekeepers
[An Nahar] The United Nations
...aka the Oyster Bay Chowder and Marching Society...
slammed as "unacceptable" an attack against peacekeepers in southern Lebanon Hezbollahstan
...The Lebs have the curious habit of periodically murdering their heads of state or prime ministers, a practice dating back to the heady days of human sacrifice to Baal Moloch...
, front man Stephane Dujarric said.

The peacekeepers -- members of the United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon (UNIFIL) -- were attacked late Tuesday night by "unknown perpetrators," he said.

"Their U.N. vehicles were vandalized and official items were stolen," Dujarric said, without specifying the nature of the damage or the state of the victims.

He noted that the peacekeepers were not on private property or taking photos, "contrary to some subsequent media disinformation."

Instead, they were en route to meet Lebanese Armed Forces members for a "routine patrol," he said.

"The denial of UNIFIL's freedom of movement and any aggression against those serving the cause of peace is unacceptable," said Dujarric, before calling on the Lebanese government to "investigate quickly and thoroughly, and prosecute all those responsible for these crimes."

UNIFIL -- comprised of about 13,000 U.N. peacekeepers -- has operated in southern Lebanon since 1978, and is responsible for monitoring the ceasefire along the border with Israel.
