Twenty-eight-year-old black Virginia Irvo Otieno, who was detained for theft in the USA on March 3, died as a result of the intervention of the police and staff to control him at a psychiatric hospital where he was brought from the Henrico County prison.

A lawsuit was filed against seven police officers and three paramedics on charges of murder. While two of the detained police officers were released on bail, the others are still in detention.

The forensic report for Otieno, who was exposed to disproportionate force for about 11 minutes, stated his cause of death as “asphyxiation.”

“My son was treated like a dog, even worse than a dog. I saw it with my own eyes in the video,” said Otieno’s mother, Caroline Ouko.

Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Arakchi issued a stern warning to the UK, Germany, and France, accusing them of making a “new strategic mistake” regarding Tehran’s nuclear program. In a social media post, Arakchi said, “Iran will give a tough and determined response to the violation of its rights,” criticizing the European trio for backing a resolution against Iran at the IAEA Board of Governors.

Arakchi condemned the move as baseless, recalling past disputes in 2005 which led to the expansion of Iran’s uranium enrichment. “Have these three really not learned any lessons in the last twenty years?” he said.

Meanwhile, the IAEA reported on May 31 that Iran’s 60% enriched uranium stockpile had grown from 274.8 kg in February to 408.6 kg by May 17. In response, the UK, Germany, and France are reportedly preparing to refer Iran’s file to the UN Security Council, which could activate the “snapback” mechanism and reimpose UN sanctions.
