Peru’s former President Alberto Fujimori released from prison
Images of the sick former leader outside a Lima prison and court paperwork indicate that Alberto Fujimori, the former president of Peru, was freed from prison on Wednesday, ahead of the conclusion of his term for approving the deployment of a death squad in his nation. As a humanitarian gesture, then-Peruvian President Pedro Pablo Kuczynski granted Fujimori a medical pardon in 2017, which was reinstated by the Constitutional Court of Peru on Tuesday. But a year later, the nation's Supreme Court revoked the pardon, and Fujimori was sent back to prison. Fujimori, a very controversial figure both before and after his hard-line reign from 1990 to 2000—he resigned in 2000 amid a bribery scandal—was the son of Japanese immigrants.

Venezuelans support annexing Guyana’s oil-rich territory.
The acquisition of an oil-rich area in neighboring Guyana was approved by a sizable majority of Venezuelan voters on Sunday. This is the most recent development in the long-running territorial dispute between the two nations, which has been stoked by the discovery of significant offshore energy resources. The region under question is the heavily forested Essequibo region, which is roughly the size of Florida and makes up over two thirds of Guyana's national territory. Voters were asked in Sunday's mostly symbolic referendum if they supported establishing a Venezuelan state in the Essequibo region, granting citizenship to its residents, and "incorporating that state into the map of Venezuelan territory." During a press conference revealing initial findings from the initial round of tabulated votes, the Venezuelan National Electoral Council stated that over 95% of voters selected "yes."
In the Bahamas, an American lady accused of plotting her husband’s murder was freed on bond.
An American woman named Lindsay Shiver was granted $100,000 bail by a Bahamian Supreme Court justice on Wednesday. Lindsay Shiver is accused of plotting her husband's murder in the Bahamas alongside two other parties. She will have to adhere to an 8 p.m. to 6 a.m. curfew and be fitted with an electronic monitoring device. Audience members shouted questions at Shiver when she entered the courtroom wearing torn pants and a T-shirt, but it didn't seem like she answered them. Shiver is required to report three times a week to the Cable Beach Police Station located in Nassau. One of her bail requirements is that she not be within 100 feet of her husband. Shiver gave a gentle "OK" after Justice Cheryl Grant-Thompson of the Bahamas Supreme Court completed outlining the terms of her bail.
Look of the Week: Bye, Barbie! America Ferrara ditches pink for a black tux
America Ferrera did not have a single trace of Barbie's iconic color at Tuesday's Governors Awards. The actor eschewed pink in favor of a black custom Moschino tuxedo including a cummerbund, matching slacks, bow tie, and slim grosgrain peak lapels. A seemingly counterpoint to her "Barbie" co-star Margot Robbie's ruffled hot-pink tribute to a vintage Barbie doll at last week's Golden Globes, Ferrera's take on classic menswear carried on the Hollywood elite's trend of power dressing and making a statement. Women's tuxedos are significantly more common than they formerly were, showing up on red carpets, runways, and luxury advertisements. One such example is the 2014 "Timeless Portofino" campaign by wristwatch IWC Schaffhausen, which featured Cate Blanchett, Emily Blunt, and Zhou Xun looking stylish in dark tuxedos.
The world may alter as a result of the 2024 presidential election, and it won’t happen in the US.
It sounds familiar—a presidential election in 2024 with significant global ramifications. However, this one is coming far sooner than you may imagine. The results of Saturday's presidential and parliamentary elections in Taiwan, a tiny but dynamic democracy in Asia that is right next to a much more powerful authoritarian neighbor, will have a significant impact well beyond its boundaries. China's Communist leaders, who have long claimed Taiwan as part of their territory even though they have never had control over it, are keenly monitoring the outcome. The great majority of Taiwanese citizens oppose being dominated by China, a nation whose authoritarian leader Xi Jinping has strengthened his hold on power at home while Taiwan escalates its hostilities with its neighbors.
