  • Counter |  Julius Kivimäki, who is suspected of data breach, is awaiting a detention trial in Vantaa prison

    Counter | Julius Kivimäki, who is suspected of data breach, is awaiting a detention trial in Vantaa prison

    On Friday afternoon, Julius Kivimäki, the suspect in the data breach of Psychotherapy Center Vastaamo, was handed over from France to Finland.

    Psychotherapy Center Suspect of a data breach targeting the reception desk Julius Kivimäki is waiting for Tuesday’s custody trial in Vantaa prison, says the head of the investigation, the crime commissioner Marko Leponen from the Central Criminal Police (krp).

    Kivimäki was handed over to Finland on Friday afternoon from France, where he was arrested at the beginning of February.

    KRP demands that Kivimäki be imprisoned in the district court of Länsi-Uusimaa on Tuesday, February 28.

    The police demand that 25-year-old Kivimäki be arrested on probable cause on suspicion of aggravated blackmail, aggravated data breach and aggravated dissemination of information that violates private life.

    According to Leponen, there is one copy of each suspected crime and all of them target the psychotherapy center Vastaamo.

    KRP has not questioned Kivimäki so far.

    “We will start the interrogations as quickly as possible this week,” says Leponen.

    Stone Hill was arrested in France at the beginning of February. The man was arrested on the basis of a European arrest warrant. The police announced a search for the suspect in October 2022.

    Kivimäki has been convicted before, for example, of a hacking network that targeted 50,700 computers. He was about 15 years old when he committed the crimes. Last November, the Helsinki Court of Appeal sentenced Kivimäki to conditional imprisonment.

    The data breach at the reception desk was revealed when customers’ sensitive information began to appear on the dark web piece by piece. The information of thousands of customers ended up online.

    Vastaamo was declared bankrupt in February 2021.

    In their announcement, the police remind that victims of a data breach can still file a criminal complaint and fill out an electronic statement form. Instructions can be found on the websites of the police and the Crime Victims Emergency Service.

  • Over 12K Israeli administrative detention orders issued in 9 yrs

    Over 12K Israeli administrative detention orders issued in 9 yrs

    [ad_1]

    The Israeli authorities have issued more than 12,000 administrative detention orders (without charge) against Palestinian detainees over the past nine years.

    The Palestinian Prisoners Club (PPC) said in a statement on Wednesday, the highest percentage of issuance of administrative detention orders was in 2022.

    In 2022, the number of administrative detention orders reached 2,409 orders, and the highest rate was in December, and the number of orders reached 315.

    At the end of 2022, there were 866 administrative detainees in Israeli prisons, including two women, seven children, and a 76-year-old man.

    According to PPC, a staggering 80 per cent of administrative detainees are ex-prisoners.

    The Israeli occupation authorities renewed the arrest of Palestinian figures such as Nidal Abu Akar, Thaer Halahleh, Ghassan Zawaheereh and Saleh al Je’edi. Although she was never charged with any crime and has not been brought to trial, Shorouq Al-Badan of Bethlehem has had her detention renewed. She has been under administrative detention since 2019.

    The Israeli authorities use administrative detention for anyone who has a “vanguard role on the social, cognitive, and political level in the Palestinian arena, in addition to being a policy of revenge and collective punishment.”

    It is noteworthy that Israel detains 4,700 Palestinians in its prisons, including 150 children and 33 women, and 600 prisoners suffering from diseases of various degrees, and in need of follow-up, health care and urgent medical interventions, including 24 prisoners suffering from cancer and tumors.

  • BBC docu screening: 70 students protesting detention of 4 activists in Delhi detained, says SFI

    BBC docu screening: 70 students protesting detention of 4 activists in Delhi detained, says SFI

    [ad_1]

    New Delhi: Delhi Police has detained over 70 students who were gathered at Jamia Millia Islamia to protest against the detention of four activists over the proposed screening of a BBC documentary on Prime Minister Narendra Modi, the Students’ Federation of India said.

    There was no immediate response from the police.

    Heavy deployment of police personnel was seen outside the campus where the students were gathered. Personnel from the Rapid Action Force were deployed at the gate.

    Pritish Menon, secretary of the Students’ Federation of India’s (SFI) Delhi state committee, said the police detained the protestors who had gathered there.

    “We were about to begin the demonstration but they were detained before that. They were taken to the police station,” Menon told PTI.

    The Left-backed SFI’s Jamia unit has released a poster informing that the documentary would be screened at the MCRC lawn gate 8 at 6 pm.

    Delhi Police on Wednesday said they detained four students after the SFI announced its plan to screen the controversial documentary on the campus.

    The university administration said the screening would not be allowed and that they were taking all measures to prevent people and organisations with a “vested interest to destroy the peaceful academic atmosphere of the university”.

    The varsity administration also issued a statement, saying no permission had been sought for the screening of the documentary and it would not be allowed.

    “It has come to the knowledge of the university administration that some students belonging to a political organisation have circulated a poster about screening of a controversial documentary film on the university campus today,” it said in the statement.

    The university had earlier issued a memorandum/circular reiterating that no meeting/gathering of students or screening of any film shall be allowed on the campus without permission from the competent authority.

    It said strict disciplinary action shall be taken against organisers in case of any violation.

    “The university is taking all possible measures to prevent people/organisations having a vested interest to destroy the peaceful academic atmosphere of the university,” it said.

    The SFI’s attempt to screen the documentary at the Jamia campus comes a day after a similar event was organised at Jawaharlal Nehru University during which students claimed that power and Internet were suspended and stones hurled at them.
