‘Truly frightening': Outrage in China over secretly filmed images of women in public toilets shared in massive Telegram groups
BEIJING, July 29 — Sexually exploitative images of Chinese women were shared in encrypted Telegram chat groups with hundreds of thousands of users, Chinese media reported, triggering widespread outrage online. A Chinese-language Telegram chat group named 'MaskPark tree hole forum' shared images of women secretly taken or filmed in locations, including public toilets, with more than 100,000 anonymous users in China and overseas, said Chinese state-run newspaper Southern Daily, which first reported the chat groups' existence last week. Some users posted private images of their current or ex-girlfriends and female family members, the report said, and that some footage of women secretly filmed using pinhole cameras in public spaces was being sold in the chat groups. Hashtags related to the issue on Chinese microblogging platform Weibo gained more than 270 million views on Tuesday. 'It's truly frightening how secret filming has infiltrated everyday life,' read one comment. China has strict obscenity laws and regularly scrubs content deemed pornographic from its heavily-controlled domestic internet, so the scale of the image sharing has shocked many in China. People must use VPN software to access Telegram, which is blocked in China. Other Telegram sub-forums targeting Chinese-speaking users with pornographic content had as many as 900,000 members, the Southern Daily said. 'My ex-boyfriend secretly took photos of me during sex, posted my private photos to the group without my permission and publicised my social media accounts,' a female victim who was not named told the newspaper. She was alerted to the forum in May through an anonymous tip-off, adding that many of the chat group messages self-deleted and the images could not be saved or screenshotted due to the settings in the Telegram chat. Chatroom users also sold everyday objects, such as incense holders, fitted with pinhole cameras to secretly film women, according to chat records published in the report. 'This has heightened the concerns of many women, as voyeuristic incidents seem to be ubiquitous,' said Huang Simin, a Chinese lawyer who specialises in sexual violence cases. 'I've noticed a general sense of powerlessness (women feel with regards to legal protections), a feeling that there's no effective way to address such incidents.' The main MaskPark forum has been taken down but some smaller sub-forums remain active on Telegram, the Southern Daily said. 'The sharing of non-consensual pornography is explicitly forbidden by Telegram's terms of service and is removed whenever discovered,' a Telegram spokesperson told Reuters. 'Moderators proactively monitor public parts of the platform and accept reports in order to remove millions of pieces of harmful content each day, including non-consensual pornography.' South Korea scandal Chinese social media commenters likened the incident to South Korea's 'Nth room' scandal, where operators of pay-to-view Telegram chatrooms blackmailed at least 74 women, including underage girls, into sharing sexually explicit images of themselves with tens of thousands of users. The case sparked a national outcry in South Korea and the main ringleader was sentenced to 40 years in prison in 2020. 'Compared to the 'Nth room' incident, the evil of MaskPark is even more normalised and diffuse. There is no single principal offender and users share images for 'pleasure' not profit,' read one Weibo post with more than 14,000 likes. Chatroom users who posted images can be investigated under Chinese law for 'producing, selling and disseminating obscene materials for profit' as well as 'illegally using special equipment for eavesdropping and taking non-consensual photos,' said Huang. But the offences of secret filming and photography carry relatively light punishments if the content is not deemed obscene, she added, with a fine of up to 500 yuan (RM295) and 10 days' administrative detention for serious cases. It is also difficult for Chinese police to punish offenders over MaskPark because Telegram is encrypted and hosted overseas, said a Chinese legal researcher who requested anonymity for reasons of sensitivity. 'Criminal cases require a high evidence threshold, so disseminating intimate images often remains difficult to prosecute due to insufficient evidence,' they said. 'There are no specific regulations regarding the dissemination of intimate images of adult women.' Both lawyers called for stronger government regulatory oversight of gender-based abuse on online platforms. 'I hope that China will develop criminal laws to regulate carrying out voyeurism and sexual violence through visual imagery in the future,' said Huang. — Reuters

Terror threat to Singapore ‘remains high', says home affairs report
Published on: Tuesday, July 29, 2025 Published on: Tue, Jul 29, 2025 By: Reuters Text Size: Singapore's home affairs ministry said Islamic State is using propaganda to exploit the war in Gaza. (EPA Images pic) SINGAPORE: The terrorism threat to Singapore remains high, said its home affairs ministry in a report released today, pointing to the ongoing Israeli-Palestinian conflict and 'continued traction of radical narratives'. While there was no current intelligence of an imminent attack against Singapore, the ministry said Islamic State uses propaganda to exploit the war in Gaza and local grievances to reinforce its narrative of armed violence. Since the surprise attack by Hamas on Israel in October 2023, six Singaporeans have been found to support or were making preparations to take part in armed violence because of the conflict, said the report. 'Singapore and our interests continue to be viewed as attractive and legitimate targets by terrorist and extremist elements, due to our friendly relations with western nations and Israel, the presence of iconic structures in Singapore, and our status as a secular and multicultural state,' it said. The ministry said a key threat was online self-radicalisation, in a variety of extremist ideologies, especially of youths. Since 2015, Singapore has used the Internal Security Act against 17 youth aged 20. Most recently it was used against two teenagers – one planned to shoot mosques, the other planned to join Islamic State. The law allows suspects to be held for lengthy periods without trial, or to be given a restriction order limiting travel and internet access, among other conditions. The threat assessment report also said artificial intelligence was emerging as a terrorism enabler for 'generating and translating propaganda, producing convincing synthetic multimedia, creating personalised recruitment messages at scale, and planning and developing attacks'. * Follow us on our official WhatsApp channel and Telegram for breaking news alerts and key updates! * Do you have access to the Daily Express e-paper and online exclusive news?

Russian strike on central Ukraine prison kills 16
KYIV: A Russian strike on a prison in central Ukraine overnight killed more than 16 people and wounded dozens others, Kyiv said Monday, after Washington pressured Russia to end its war. The attack comes around the three-year anniversary of an attack on another detention facility in occupied Ukrainian territory that Kyiv blamed on Moscow and that was reported to have killed dozens of captured Ukrainian soldiers. It also comes just one day after US President Donald Trump issued Moscow with a new deadline to end its grinding invasion of Ukraine – now in its fourth year – or face tough new sanctions. Russia carried out eight strikes on the Zaporizhzhia region, hitting the prison, according to Ivan Fedorov, the head of the military administration. He said 16 people were killed there and that another 35 were wounded in the attack that he said destroyed the facility and damaged homes nearby. "Putin's regime, which also issues threats against the United States through some of its mouthpieces, must face economic and military blows that strip it of the capacity to wage war," Andriy Yermak, a senior aide to Ukraine's president wrote on social media in response. Ukraine's human rights ombudsman Dmytro Lubinets said the Zaporizhzhia attack was further evidence of Russian "war crimes." "People held in places of detention do not lose their right to life and protection," he wrote on social media. The Ukrainian air force said that Russia had launched 37 drones and two missiles overnight, adding that its air defence systems had downed 32 of the drones only. People were also killed and more wounded in attacks on the Dnipropetrovsk region, according to regional government officials. A missile strike on the town of Kamyanske killed two people, wounded five and damaged a hospital, Sergiy Lysak, head of the regional military administration said on Telegram. Another person was killed and several wounded in an attack on the region's Synelnykivsky district, he said. In a separate attack on Velykomykhaylivska, Monday night, a "75-year-old woman was killed. A 68-year-old man was wounded. A private house was damaged," he posted on Telegram. In southern Russia, a Ukrainian drone attack killed one person, the region's acting governor said Tuesday. "A car was damaged on Ostrovsky Street. Unfortunately, the driver who was in it died," Yuri Slyusar, acting governor of the Rostov region, said in a post on Telegram. Kyiv has been trying to repel Russia's summer offensive, which has made fresh advances into areas largely spared since the start of the offensive in 2022. Over the weekend, the Russian army said its forces had captured a small settlement in the industrial Dnipropetrovsk region, weeks after it seized the first village in the territory. Kyiv has contested those claimed Russian advances. Both Ukraine and Russia blamed each other for the strike over the night of July 29 three years ago on the detention in the Russian-occupied Donetsk region, which the Kremlin says is part of Russia. Ukraine says that dozens of its soldiers who laid down their arms after a long Russian siege of the port city of Mariupol were killed in that attack on the Olenivka detention facility.
