Following last summer’s devastating wildfires on the island of Rhodes, Greece has announced it’s giving thousands of affected holidaymakers free trips. In July 2023, thousands of tourists were forced to flee Rhodes as the fires tore through the popular destination. Under the programme, those who were staying in hotels evacuated due to the fires will be able to take advantage of vouchers of up to €500 to cover accommodation for a week-long stay. Up to 25,000 affected holidaymakers are now eligible for the compensation, which will also help to rebuild tourism in Rhodes. The e-vouchers will be va...

Washington (AFP) - To Stewart Rhodes, his conviction for leading the far-right Oath Keepers militia in the January 6, 2021 assault on the US Capitol made him America's premier political prisoner -- the equivalent of Russian dissident Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn. But for Judge Amit Mehta, who sentenced the Yale Law graduate to 18 years in prison Thursday, Rhodes is a self-obsessed criminal who took up arms against the US government in a brazen conspiracy of sedition, threatening terror on the US Congress. Rhodes, 57, was defiant to the end of his trial, refusing any fault or error in the Oath Keeper...

Washington (AFP) - The founder of the far-right Oath Keepers militia was handed an 18-year prison sentence Thursday for sedition in the 2021 attack on the US Capitol, the toughest penalty given yet over the January 6 assault.

He admitted under questioning by prosecutors that he has a history of opposing authorities and backing civil disobedience to the government. But said he did nothing unlawful on the day supporters of then-president Donald Trump stormed the seat of the US Congress, and condemned those of his group who "went off-mission" and entered the building. Rhodes, on trial with four others fo...

Washington (AFP) - The government calls Stewart Rhodes the "general" of a traitorous violent insurrection in Washington on January 6, 2021; his lawyers say he led a "peacekeeping force" in the riot at the US Capitol. And his former wife called him a narcissistic "sociopath" who mythologizes his own future as "the next George Washington." Rhodes, 56, was at the center Monday of the first US sedition trial in decades, accused with other members of this Oath Keepers militia group of plotting the armed attack on the US Congress to block Joe Biden from becoming president. Prosecutors say that as th...

Washington (AFP) - Stewart Rhodes, the eye-patch-wearing law graduate who was indicted for seditious conspiracy over the US Capitol assault, spent years preparing to do battle with a government he views as increasingly repressive. Rhodes, 56, was singled out as the leader of the militant Oath Keeper group which spearheaded the attack on the Capitol by supporters of then-president Donald Trump, stockpiling weapons nearby for an armed insurrection. In an indictment, the Justice Department detailed encrypted chats in which Rhodes urged Oath Keeper members to prepare for a revolution after Trump ...
