| Brazilian executed in Indonesia unaware what was happening until end - witness | | Thursday, April 30, 2015 1:37 AM | |
| | A Brazilian man executed in Indonesia for drug trafficking who was diagnosed with schizophrenia and bipolar disorder did not understand what was happening to him until his final moments, a priest assigned as his spiritual adviser told Australia's ABC radio on Thursday. Rodrigo Muxfeldt Gularte was among eight people convicted of drug offences from several countries who were executed shortly after midnight on Wednesday morning. Brazil had made repeated personal pleas for Indonesia to commute his sentence on humanitarian grounds, citing his mental illness. Father Charlie Burrows, a local priest who accompanied Gularte in his final hours, told ABC he thought he had prepared the Brazilian for the execution. |
| Marchers demand justice, police reform in Baltimore | |  By Scott Malone, Ian Simpson and Warren Strobel BALTIMORE (Reuters) - Thousands of demonstrators marched in Baltimore on Wednesday demanding justice and police reform as 3,000 troops stood by to enforce a curfew imposed after Monday's civil unrest over the death of a 25-year-old black man. The large peaceful protest that converged on city hall capped a day of calm in Baltimore, which saw its worst rioting in decades two days earlier. Marchers said they seek answers about the fate of Freddie Gray, who died after suffering spinal injuries while in police custody, while also highlighting the need to change policing practices in the largely black city. Republican Governor Larry Hogan said protesters must respect the nighttime curfew, and that troops would not tolerate looting or rioting.

| U.S. Senate rejects tying terrorism support to Iran sanctions relief | | | By Patricia Zengerle WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The U.S. Senate rejected an effort on Wednesday to tie sanctions relief for Iran under an international nuclear agreement to a requirement that President Barack Obama certify that Tehran is not supporting acts of terrorism against Americans. A handful of Republicans joined Senate Democrats to reject by a 54-45 vote a proposed amendment offered by Republican Senator John Barrasso that would have added the terrorism clause to a bill subjecting an international nuclear agreement to review by the U.S. Congress. The Senate has been engaged in intense debate over the legislation, a compromise version of the bill reached in the Senate Foreign Relations Committee last week in an effort to avoid a presidential veto. |
| Iran suggests U.S. intelligence operative may have taken advantage of detained reporter | |  By Louis Charbonneau NEW YORK (Reuters) - Iran's foreign minister on Wednesday suggested that an intelligence operative, possibly linked to the U.S. government, may have taken advantage of Washington Post journalist Jason Rezaian, who has been charged in Iran with espionage and other crimes. "The fact is there are people who take advantage of the needs of some people who try to get a visa to come to the United States or for their wives to come to the United States and make demands that are illegal and dangerous and damaging to the professionalism of a journalist," said Iran's Mohammad Javad Zarif. Zarif participated in a discussion hosted by New York University's Centre on International Cooperation and the think tank New America and moderated by Washington Post columnist David Ignatius. Rezaian was detained last year in Iran.
