Muslim Super Bowl protester arrested months after halftime demonstration
Louisiana State Police on Thursday arrested 41-year-old Zul-Qarnain Kwame Nantambu, nearly four months after he ran onto the field during the Super Bowl 59 halftime show waving Palestinian and Sudanese flags in protest.
In a press release, police said a warrant had been issued for Nantambu’s arrest on charges of resisting an officer and disturbing the peace by interruption of a lawful assembly.
Danish shipping giant cuts ties with companies operating in illegal Israeli settlements
The Danish shipping giant Maersk announced Monday that it will sever ties with companies operating in Israeli settlements in the Occupied West Bank, citing compliance with United Nations human rights guidelines.
The move comes after sustained pressure from the Palestinian Youth Movement (PYM), a U.S.-based grassroots advocacy group that has urged multinational corporations to cut business ties with entities involved in what it calls Israel’s occupation and ongoing violations of international law.
Israel bombards southern Lebanon
Israeli airstrikes hit alleged Hezbollah positions in Southern Lebanon on Thursday, despite the ceasefire between the two adversaries since March.
According to Lebanon state media, the strikes also hit a residential building in Nabatieh, killing one woman from Germany visiting her family. 13 people were also reportedly injured. The Israeli Defense Force (IDF) denied targeting civilian infrastructure.
