Thousands of people in Russia have protested against plans to introduce tighter restrictions on the internet. A mass rally in Moscow and similar demonstrations in two other cities were called after parliament backed the controversial bill last month. The government says the bill, which allows it to isolate Russia’s internet service from the rest of the world, will improve cyber-security. But campaigners say it is an attempt to increase censorship and stifle dissent. Activists say more than 15,000 people gathered in Moscow on Sunday, which is double the estimate given by the police.

US plane maker Boeing is facing questions after an Ethiopian Airlines 737 crash on Sunday killed all 157 people on board.

Vice President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia has called on the Ghanaian youth, especially those in the Zongo communities, to resist any attempt to draft them into engaging in any anti-social activities, especially political vigilantism. He charged the youth to rather concentrate on tackling the major concerns of the Zongo communities, including the lack of jobs, issues of education, and business development, thereby forming ‘Job-lantes, Edu-lantes and Busi-lantes’ instead of vigilante groups in order to promote their welfare and the development of the nation. Speaking at the 51st anniversary celebration of the birth of Prophet Muhammad (SAW) by Sheikh Abdul Wadud in…
