A Lawson franchise in Kamobe, Kochi Prefecture, has lost its license after the 21-year-old son of the franchisee uploaded a photograph of himself in the store’s freezer onto Facebook.
According to Lawson, a Facebook user reported seeing a photo of the young man inside one of the convenience store chain’s food freezers. An investigation revealed that the man, who works part-time at the store, had a friend take a photo of him lying in the store’s ice-cream freezer on June 17 and then uploaded it onto Facebook.
The photos have gone viral in Japan, having already made the rounds of Twitter, Facebook and various message boards where, rather than being congratulated on a novel way of keeping cool, his act has been largely criticized.
People are even calling for a boycott of Lawson’s ice-cream, while others declared they will never buy ice cream from a Lawson store ever again.
Lawson canceled its contract with the franchisee and closed the store on Monday, Sankei Shimbun reported.
In a statement to media, Lawson said the photo was taken while the employee was off-duty, but added that mishandling of foodstuffs is strictly forbidden by company policy. The company said that it had decided to dissolve the franchise contract until another owner can be found.
Authorities in the southwest of Colombia said Sunday they have seized 6.6 tons of marijuana.
According to the Police, the illicit drugs were found Saturday afternoon while officials were checking an abandoned truck.
The truck reportedly had been abandoned by the driver and three escorts just before reaching a check point in Puerto Tejada, a municipality in the north of the Cauca department.
News agency Colprensa reported that the alleged drug traffickers were arrested as they fled.
The marijuana has a reported street value of $5 million and was found in the same area where authorities have made several major pot busts this year.
The seized drugs are generally said to be grown in the Cauca department and meant for consumption in cities like Medellin and Bogota.
PANAMA CITY, Panama (AFP) – Panamanian authorities have found two Soviet-era MiG-21 fighter jets aboard a North Korea-flagged ship seized this month as it tried to pass through the Panama Canal after departing from Cuba.
The supersonic jets were found alongside missile and other weapons parts concealed in a shipment of sugar, in what could constitute a violation of tough UN sanctions on Pyongyang.
Cuba has claimed the shipment, intercepted earlier this month, consists of "obsolete" weapons it was sending to North Korea to be refurbished and returned.
UN sanctions experts plan to travel to Panama to inspect the shipment on August 5.
Panama's President Ricardo Martinelli said the two jets, anti-aircraft missile batteries and other parts have been found on board.
"Apparently these aircraft were in use because they had fuel," he said during a visit to the port of Manzanillo, where the boat is being unloaded.
The 35-man crew of the North Korea-flagged Chong Chon Gang have been detained and could face arms trafficking charges.
The UN Security Council has imposed several rounds of sanctions on Pyongyang over its nuclear weapons program.
North Korea has insisted the shipment is entirely legitimate and demanded the release of the crew members.
Cuba is the only one-party communist state in the Americas and a rare ally of North Korea.
NCRI - Advocacy group Christian Solidarity Worldwide (CSW) reported that the eight members of the Church of Iran were sentenced heavy imprisonment in Iranian city Shiraz, on July 16. They were accused of their “action against the national security” and “propaganda against the system” – charges typically leveled against Muslim converts to Christianity in Iran. Iranian Christian leaders denied that the eight had any involvement in politically subversive activity. It is reported by the Morning Sun in Istanbul.
Seven of the convicted persons were arrested by security forces from an evening prayer service. The eighth, Massoud Rezaid, was arrested six days later.
The sentenced persons are Mohammad Roghangir , Massoud Rezaie , Mehdi Ameruni ,Bijan Farokhpour Haghighi , Shahin Lahooti , Suroush Saraie , Eskandar Rezaie and Roxana Forugh and were sentenced different terms of imprisonment of 6 years to 1 year.
The sentencing of the eight follows enormous bail terms a previous judge handed them, causing severe financial hardships to family and church members. To pay these bills, many put down title deeds to their homes. The bail amounts ranged between $80,000 and $200,000, creating hardship for those who assisted in raising the money. CSW said that the high price was intentionally designed to financially punish Christians.
The sentencing comes a month after the presidential election of Hassan Rouhani.
CSW press officer Kiri Kankhwende told Morning Sun. “It is now common practice to subject religious minorities to political charges, as any alternative belief system is deemed a threat to the theocratic state,”
Mervyn Thomas, CSW chief executive, called for the group’s unconditional release of those arrested.
In a press statement he condemned it and said., “ It is both disappointing and deplorable that the Iranian regime persists in detaining religious minorities on political charges, as has occurred once again in this case.” He claimed, “These Christians in no way constitute a threat to the state.”
On a number of occasions, the Iranian Resistance has called on all international bodies, human rights advocates particularly the Special Rapporteur on freedom of religion or belief and Special Rapporteur on the situation of human rights in Iran, to condemn the detention and torture of Christian leaders and followers of various faiths.
The Iranian Resistance has urged UN Security Council to take necessary measures to stop persecutions of religious minorities in Iran
