News and notes from around the interweb:
- The Boeing 747 detained in Argentina with ‘too many’ crewmembers and Iranian pilots – and hotel rooms raided by ‘antiterror officials’
- Turkish Airlines is rebranding as Türkiye Hava Yolları – so, yeah, am I actually going to call it that? I have a hard enough time dropping Hilton’s second ‘H’ from Honors. Though I guess maybe I’d better?
Turkey will soon have a speech law that criminalizes criticism of the regime. The opposition faces a tough choice. Protesting would give the regime excuses to arrest opposition leaders for sedition and sowing chaos. Passivity would be to accept voicelessness.
