Japanese police arrested three Chinese tourists after finding thousands of protected hermit crabs. Their actions were detected because of the noise inside the suitcases they were carrying. The three Chinese tourists were arrested by police in the Amami Islands, near Okinawa on May 7. The suspects were named Liao Zhibin (24), Song Zhenhao (26), and Guo Jiawei (27). They were proven to be carrying 160 kilograms of live hermit crabs. The Amami Islands are off the southwest coast of Kyushu and just north of Okinawa. The islands are a popular tourist destination and are known as home to a variety of native plants and animals.[1]

Police said the tourists' actions were detected after one of the hotel workers in Amami became suspicious of the suitcases carried by guests at the hotel. He then reported it to environmental authorities. "They heard a noise coming from a suitcase that was stored," a police officer said. Officers then arrived at the hotel and found spiral-shelled hermit crabs packed into six suitcases. When they returned to the hotel, the three men were arrested for possessing these animals without a valid permit. It is not known why the three men were transporting the crustaceans. Police did not provide further details about the species, but said the seized hermit crabs are classified as "national natural monuments" in Japan due to their cultural and scientific value, and are protected under Japanese law.[2] And if you have any legal issue in Indonesia territory, contact us for business inquiry, feel free in 24 hour, we will be glad to assist you.

The term femicide emerged in relation to allegations in the murder case of a student named Elisa Siti Mulyani (21) who was murdered by her ex-boyfriend, Riko Arizka (23) in Pandeglang, Banten 2023. It is known in this case that the perpetrator killed Elisa because he was annoyed that Elisa had a new boyfriend. The National Commission on Violence Against Women considers Elisa's murder to be femicide. So what is meant by femicide in Elisa's murder case? What does femicide mean? According to the Big Indonesian Dictionary (KBBI), the term femicide means the murder of a woman by a man because of his hatred of women.[1]

The term femicide was first used by Diana Russel at the International Tribunal on Crimes Against Women (1976) and placed it as "misogynistic murder of women by men". Launching its official website, the National Commission on Anti-Violence Against Women (Komnas Perempuan) explains the definition of femicide according to the General Assembly of the United Nations (UN) Human Rights Council (HAM) as follows. According to the UN Human Rights Council General Assembly, the definition of femicide is the murder of women driven by hatred, revenge, conquest, control, enjoyment and the view of women as property so that they can do whatever they want. Therefore, femicide cases are different from ordinary murders because they contain aspects of gender inequality, domination, aggression or oppression. Femicide is not a death as is common but a product of patriarchal and misogynistic culture and occurs in both the private, community and state spheres.[2] A similar case also happened to a model, Valeria Marquez, a beauty content creator from Mexico.

This latest wave of layoffs adds to the long list of efficiencies carried out by the giant technology company over the past two years.

A Greek Woman Turns ChatGPT Into CheatGPT

A woman in Greece has shocked the public after deciding to divorce her husband of 12 years. The cause? ChatGPT, a chatbot created by OpenAI, which "predicted" that her husband was cheating based on a photo of coffee grounds in a cup. This unique story was shared directly by the husband when he appeared on a Greek morning TV show. He told how his marriage was on the brink because of allegations of infidelity that were 'confirmed' by ChatGPT. From the husband's story, the problem began when his wife found out about a trend on social media, where users were asking ChatGPT to "read" the coffee grounds in a cup - a kind of modern version of tasseography or the art of reading fate from coffee grounds. The wife tried this. After making coffee for the two of them, she took a photo of the coffee residue left in the cup and sent it to ChatGPT for 'interpretation'.[1]

The result? ChatGPT claimed that her husband was cheating on her with a mysterious woman with the initials "E" who would be "destined" to be with him. Furthermore, the chatbot said that the wife's coffee cup showed that the other woman was trying to destroy their family. The results of this AI 'prediction' made the wife furious. Without thinking, she immediately asked her husband to leave the house, told the children they were getting a divorce, and immediately contacted her lawyer to file for divorce. Three days after the incident, the husband received an official court letter. Although he refused to sign the divorce papers, he is now facing legal proceedings. His lawyer argued that the ChatGPT prediction-based accusations were baseless, and that his client was innocent until proven guilty.[2] And if you have any legal issue in Indonesia territory, contact us for business inquiry, feel free in 24 hour, we will be glad to assist you.

The Financial Transaction Reports and Analysis Center (PPATK) has spoken out regarding the mass blocking of bank accounts. The blocking of the accounts went viral on social media. PPATK Head Ivan Yustiavandana said that the cessation of transactions on dormant accounts was in the public interest. The use of dormant accounts controlled by other parties is one of the modes that is prone to misuse in illegal activities. Dormant accounts are a banking term used to describe bank accounts that have not had any transactions for a long time, such as withdrawals, deposits, or transfers in a certain period.[1]

Therefore, his party with its authority based on Law No. 8 of 2010, has temporarily suspended customer transactions with accounts that are declared dormant based on banking data. "This step is an implementation of the National Movement for the Prevention and Eradication of Money Laundering and Terrorism Financing carried out by PPATK and other stakeholders and also as part of PPATK's efforts to protect the public interest and maintain the integrity of the Indonesian financial system. The temporary suspension of dormant account transactions aims to provide protection to account owners and prevent misuse by irresponsible parties," said Ivan.[2] And if you have any legal issue in Indonesia territory, contact us for business inquiry, feel free in 24 hour, we will be glad to assist you.
