Cochrane SA study looks at what works, what doesn't in health care

Tunisia's Court of Cassation (Supreme Court) has upheld prison sentences of up to 45 years against 34 opposition leaders, lawyers and businessmen convicted of conspiracy. Forty people were charged with plotting to overthrow President Kais Saied, in one of Tunisia's largest recent political prosecutions. Twenty of those charged fled abroad and were sentenced in absentia.

The ruling is final and cannot be appealed. Opposition groups say it further entrenches President Saied's authoritarian rule, following three years of legal proceedings.

Survivors of the 1960 Sharpeville Massacre in South Africa (SA) and their dependants have applied to the country's  Gauteng High Court for permission to launch a class action against the government. The application challenges the continued existence of the Indemnity Act of 1961, which prevents victims and their families from seeking compensation for the massacre.

Filed by one survivor and two descendants on behalf of some victims, the case seeks to compel President Cyril Ramaphosa, along with the Justice and Police Ministers, to take steps to repeal the 65-year-old law.
