Spotlighting sexual harassment in sports

The Star23-06-2025
WHEN we talk about sports, it is often to celebrate the grit, sacrifice and achievement of our athletes. We usually don't talk about the toxic behaviours that sometimes fester behind the scenes, particularly sexual harassment.
Last Friday, the Embassy of Belgium, in collaboration with the All Women's Action Society (AWAM) and the United Nations Population Fund (U PA) Malaysia, hosted a forum titled 'Spotlight on Sexual Harassment in Sports'.

Crystal Palace close in on Nice attacker Evann Guessand

Crystal Palace are closing in on a deal for Nice ace Evann Guessand, according to journalist Chris Wheatley. Guessand caught Palace's eye after bagging 12 goals and eight assists with Nice last term. He had attracted interest from Wolverhampton Wanderers and West Ham United. The Hammers reportedly submitted a bid for him in January and were ready to swoop again. Guessand is a winger who operates off the right but loves to get into the box and create danger. He will provide competition for Palace's unsung hero, Ismaila Sarr. The pair will battle it out for a place on the right side of the attack. His high-level sprints, intelligent off-ball movement and ability to link play mirror traits seen in elite wide forwards such as Mohamed Salah. Palace have been quiet in the transfer market. They signed left-back Borna Sosa for around €4 million following the departure of Ben Chilwell, who returned to Chelsea. The Eagles also snapped up goalkeeper Walter Benitez to back up number one shot-stopper Dean Henderson. The former PSV Eindhoven star has been one of the most underrated goalkeepers in Europe over the past few seasons and is set to spend the twilight of his career at Selhurst Park. Palace could soon be in the market for another attacker, with Arsenal closing in on Eberechi Eze. The Eagles would need a playmaker on the left flank to replace him.

Iran executes two members of exiled militant group

Iran executed two men accused of working for the dissident organization Mujahideen-e-Khalq (MEK), according to the judiciary's official news outlet, Mizan on Sunday. Mehdi Hassani and Behrouz Ehsani-Eslamloo were found guilty of carrying out attacks on civilian infrastructure on behalf of the exiled opposition group. They were convicted of manufacturing and using homemade projectiles to target homes, public buildings, and charitable institutions in Tehran. What were the two men found guilty of? The judiciary said they operated from a safe house and filmed their activities for MEK-linked media. "The terrorists, in coordination with MEK leaders, had set up a team house in Tehran, where they built launchers and hand-held mortars in line with the group's goals, fired projectiles heedlessly at citizens, homes, service and administrative facilities, educational and charity centres, and also carried out propaganda and information-gathering activities in support of the MEK," the judiciary report said. Both were found guilty of waging war against God, armed rebellion, and plotting to undermine national security. The Supreme Court had upheld their death sentences. What is the MEK? The MEK, a leftist-Islamist group, is designated as a terrorist organization by Iran. The US and the European Union had also labelled it as a terrorist organization until 2012. The MEK opposes the Islamic Republic in Iran, even as its leadership operates in exile. According to human rights groups, Iran ranks second in the world in enforcing capital punishment.
