Iranian authorities executed three men on Sunday on charges linked to January 2026 protests, the judiciary said, after what rights groups described as an unfair trial.

The judiciary’s Mizan news agency said the three had been convicted of...

From delight to despair: Indonesians furious as data centre…
Cooking and bathing became difficult when taps ran dry in Batam, an Indonesian island where residents are protesting against data centres springing up to power the global artificial intelligence boom.

But, as in other countries, anger has been directed at the data centres, warehouse-like facilities that keep apps and AI tools running, with water...

By all memes: why Asia’s Gen Z are revolting
All across Asia, anti-establishment protests have been flaring up, led by a generation that came of age in the digital era.

Asia is home to 60 per cent of the world’s adolescents and young people, or some 1 billion in total, according to UN estimates. Gen Z, roughly defined as those...
