Una adolescente murió frente a sus amigos tras ser golpeada por la hélice de un barco mientras buceaba
Una adolescente británica de 15 años sufrió un trágico accidente durante un viaje escolar. Jenna Chan estaba buceando en las Islas Maldivas cuando fue golpeada por la hélice de un barco y murió. Su familia denuncia irregularidades en la investigación y busca conocer la verdad sobre lo ocurrido aquel día.
La joven colaboraba voluntariamente en el Programa de Investigación de Tiburones Ballena de Maldivas (MWSRP) y estaba en medio de una expedición cuando pasó todo. El dramático episodio ocurrió el pasado 8 de noviembre, pero salió a la luz en los últimos días, después después de que su familia lo hiciera público.

Jenna era estudiante de la Institución Internacional de San José y había viajado a las Maldivas para colaborar voluntariamente con la expedición. Sus padres, Alan y Jennifer Chan, afirmaron que todavía están esperando respuestas. “Nos vimos obligados a convertirnos en nuestros propios investigadores”, expresaron.
De acuerdo con la información publicada por el portal británico The Sun, los familiares de la adolescente están buscando información sobre lo sucedido por su cuenta ya que no encuentran respuestas de las autoridades.

Maldivas no ofrece exámenes post-mortem, por lo que las causas de muerte no están claras. “Solo queremos saber por qué murió Jenna. No hay justicia y estamos completamente solos”, dijo Jennifer en diálogo con el periódico The Times.
Por su parte, Alan, viajó a la isla en marzo para recuperar las tomografías computarizadas que le hicieron a su hija en el hospital donde fue atendida después del accidente. Esos estudios habían sido utilizados por la policía para determinar la posible causa de muerte. Una cirujana revisó las imágenes con otros colegas y confirmaron estar horrorizados “porque las lesiones de Jenna eran muy horribles”.
La familia no sabe que pasó con la adolescente
Los papás de Jenna revelaron que no se les permitió hablar con los profesores que estaban en el barco que golpeó a su hija. Algunos estudiantes que estuvieron allí afirman que la adolescente recibió la orden de entrar al agua mientras los guías seguían a los delfines.
Una escalofriante versión sostiene que la joven fue llevada al hotel en lugar de al hospital después del accidente. Los familiares de la víctima creen que “no hubo una investigación real” sobre el accidente. Además, denunciaron que hubo una “cadena de errores” en la excursión.

Desde la escuela a la que acudía Jenna, afirman que ellos intentaron por todos los medios averiguar que pasó, pero les impidieron el acceso a la información. “La escuela ha sido implacable en nuestros esfuerzos por reunir un relato completo de lo que sucedió”, dijeron en un comunicado.
“Las autoridades Maldivas no nos han dado acceso para entrevistar al capitán y a la tripulación del barco ni al personal del Programa de Investigación sobre el Tiburón Ballena de las Maldivas (MWSRP). Estas son piezas críticas para todos nosotros” agregaron y afirmaron: “Seguimos apoyando activamente la investigación. No hemos dejado de buscar respuestas y apoyar a los involucrados”.

Por su parte, el MWSRP expresó: “En el momento del incidente, la Sra. Chan estaba bajo la supervisión de dos miembros del personal docente de la Institución Internacional de San José y una experimentada tripulación del barco. La respuesta de emergencia estuvo de acuerdo con nuestros procedimientos y la Sra. Chan fue llevada directamente a un centro de salud local”.
Mientras tanto, su familia lucha por conocer la verdad e inició una colecta en GoFoundMe con el objetivo de generar conciencia sobre el accidente que sufrió Jenna y recaudar fondos para pagar los gastos legales.
“Las circunstancias que llevaron a su repentina muerte y la negligencia de la empresa son realmente impactantes para nuestra familia y sus amigos adolescentes, que presenciaron su muerte. Por favor, ayúdanos a apoyarnos durante este momento difícil para nuestra familia y seres queridos, y correr la voz sobre su caso”, expresaron.
Muerte, buceo

DOJ silent on whether NYC politician who allegedly assaulted ICE officer will face charges
NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!
As the New York City mayoral results roll in, the Department of Justice is remaining silent on whether it will press charges against city comptroller and former Democratic mayoral candidate Brad Lander, who allegedly assaulted a federal immigration officer inside a courthouse.
A spokesperson for the DOJ replied to Fox News Digital’s inquiry in an emailed statement, simply saying, «Unfortunately, we are not able to provide any additional information.»
Video footage taken of Lander’s arrest, which was on June 17, shows a chaotic scene in which Lander is hanging onto Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents as they escorted a defendant out of immigration court at 26 Federal Plaza. He repeatedly asked officials if they had a judicial warrant.
«I will let go when you show me the judicial warrant!» Lander said in the video. «Where is it?! Where is the warrant?!»

The video shows federal officials eventually separate Lander from the immigrant whom the officials were targeting, and they proceed to handcuff Lander. He can be heard repeatedly insisting they do not have the authority to arrest him. One agent seemed to say that he was obstructing an arrest, to which he replied, «I’m not obstructing. I’m standing right here in the hallway. I asked to see the judicial warrant.»
Hours later, Lander walked out of the federal courthouse where he was being held alongside New York Gov. Kathy Hochul. During a news conference outside the courthouse, Hochul said that charges against Lander had been dropped, though the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of New York said it was «continuing to investigate» Lander’s actions.
«The safety and security of official proceedings, government officials, law enforcement officers, and all members of the public who participate in them is a core focus of our Office,» said Nick Biase, chief of public affairs for the U.S. Attorney’s Office. «The Department of Justice will prosecute violations of federal law.»

At the time of the incident, Lander was running for the Democratic nomination for New York City mayor, a race in which he ended up placing third. Though he was hailed as a hero by progressives, some accused him of purposely getting himself arrested for political clout.
Joe Borelli, a former New York City councilman and GOP political operative, told Fox News Digital that he believes Lander’s arrest was a «staged event.»
«Election day is a week from today, and early voting has begun. Make no mistake, the purpose was to get the headlines that he’s getting,» said Borelli. «It’s instant name recognition and establishing even stronger liberal bona fides.»
Speaking with Fox News after the incident, DHS Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin accused Democrat politicians, including Lander, Sen. Alex Padilla, D-Calif., and Newark Mayor Ras Baraka, of being purposely disruptive to «get their 15 minutes of fame… off the backs of our ICE law enforcement officers.»

«We won’t stand for it in this administration,» said McLaughlin. «If you lay hands on an officer or impede their enforcement action, you will be arrested as just as we saw here.»
Weeks later, as New York City released its ranked choice election results, representatives for the Department of Justice declined to say whether the agency was still investigating the incident or whether it was considering charges against Lander.
The DOJ has similarly declined to comment on whether it will file charges against Padilla, who was temporarily detained after interrupting a press conference held by Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem in Los Angeles on June 12.

‘Siberian Jesus’ sentenced to Russian prison after harming followers in bizarre cult
NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!
A Siberian cult leader who claims to be the reincarnation of Jesus Christ was sentenced to 12 years in a Russian prison camp after his conviction for physically and financially harming his followers.
Sergei Torop, a former traffic policeman known to his followers as «Vissarion,» meaning «he who gives new life,» and two aides used psychological pressure to extract money from his followers and cause serious harm to their mental and physical health, Reuters reported.
Torop, 64, set up the Church of the Last Testament in a remote part of Siberia’s Krasnoyarsk region in 1991, the year the Soviet Union broke up.

He was one of three men convicted Monday in the Siberian city of Novosibirsk. Torop and Vladimir Vedernikov were sentenced to 12 years, and Vadim Redkin was sentenced to 11 years in a maximum-security prison camp.
All three men were arrested in 2020 in a helicopter raid that involved the FSB security service, the successor agency to the Soviet KGB.

A bearded self-styled mystic with long hair, Torop claimed to have been «reborn» to convey the word of God. He attracted thousands of followers, some of whom flocked to live in a settlement known as the «Abode of Dawn» or «Sun City» at a time when Russia was battling poverty and lawlessness, according to Reuters.
He told his followers not to eat meat, smoke, drink alcohol or swear and to stop using money.
Investigators said the men brought «moral harm» to 16 people, damage to the physical health of six people and moderate damage to another person’s health.
