A real photo from the hijacking of a Turkish Airlines flight traveling from Munich to Ankara in 1980. The incident occurred during a period when aircraft hijackings were becoming more common across the world, often carried out by individuals or groups trying to gain political leverage or international attention. In this case, the hijackers took control of the plane shortly after takeoff and issued demands connected to political tensions of the time. The crew attempted to keep passengers calm while maintaining communication with authorities on the ground. Negotiators worked for hours to deescalate the situation, and security forces prepared for possible intervention. The standoff highlighted the growing need for stronger aviation security measures, and events like this helped shape later policies that improved screening procedures and international cooperation. The hijacking ended after lengthy negotiations, and the photo remains a stark reminder of the fear and uncertainty that passengers and crew endured during airline crises of that era.

NCP MP Supriya Sule has introduced a Private Member’s Bill in the Lok Sabha — the Right to Disconnect Bill, 2025 — aiming to give employees the legal right to ignore work calls, texts, and emails after office hours. According to PTI, the bill proposes creating an Employees’ Welfare Authority, which would ensure that workers are not forced to respond to official communication beyond work hours or on holidays. The idea is simple: 📵 Protect work–life balance 🛑 Reduce burnout ⚖️ Give employees the legal freedom to “switch off” But there’s one catch: Private Member’s Bills rarely become law. They mostly serve to spark discussion — and this one has definitely reignited India’s workplace boundaries debate. Should India legally enforce the right to disconnect? Tell us your view.

One year after dockworkers at the port of Piraeus blocked an ammunition shipment bound for Israel, their union leader, Markos Bekris, is being targeted by Greek authorities for this show of solidarity. News of Bekris facing legal prosecution came shortly after his return from the West Bank, where a delegation from the All-Workers’ Militant Front (PAME) traveled to express support for Palestinian workers and trade unions. “It is evident that this genuine act of internationalist solidarity [the cargo blockade] has provoked the reflexes of the state and the government, which – within the framework of their strategic alliance with the murderous state of Israel – are resorting to baseless accusations to justify his prosecution,” stated the Communist Party of Greece (KKE). 📲 Read the full article on our website.
