Jussie Smollett pleads not guilty to new criminal charges in Chicago

The actor Jussie Smollett has returned to court in Chicago, accompanied by his family and lawyer Tina Glandian, to enter not guilty pleas to new felony charges. These charges accuse him of lying to Chicago police about being the victim of a racist and homophobic attack last year. The attorney also requested Judge James B. Linn to halt the case, WGN Chicago reports. The two Nigerian brothers, Abel and Ola Osundairo, who previously claimed he paid them to attack him, were also present in court with their attorney.

Advocacy for Alleged Witches Proclaims Witchcraft as a Myth

The Advocacy for Alleged Witches (AFAW) asserts that the concept of witchcraft is a myth and does not exist.   Leo Igwe, the leader of the group, emphasized in an interview with PM news that the barbaric act of killing women and children suspected of being witches must be halted. He stated that belief in witchcraft and related harms caused by occultic activities are grounded in hearsay, misinformation, panic, anxieties, fear, and superstition.   "AFAW approaches the examination of witchcraft narratives and related abuses using a secular, humanist, skeptical, and human rights perspective. Our campaign is centered on the belief that witchcraft is a myth and an imaginary crime that no one commits. "We maintain that attributions or causing harm through occult means are based on hearsay ...
