A fire broke out on Saturday in Tehran's Evin prison, where many of Iran's political and dual-national detainees are held, and witnesses reported hearing gunfire. An Iranian judiciary statement said a prison workshop was set on fire "after a fight among a number of prisoners convicted of financial crimes and theft".

Another witness said families of prisoners had gathered in front of the main prison entrance. Early on Sunday, IRNA carried a video it said showed prison areas damaged by fire.

Sursa foto: mama.mdStudiu: Consumul de alcool, indiferent de cantitate, reprezintă un pericol pentru sănătateNu există un nivel sub care consumul de alcoolul să nu reprezinte un risc pentru sănătate, potrivit unui raport al Institutului francez pentru sănătate şi cercetări medicale (Inserm), relatează AFP. „Orice consum - chiar şi scăzut - (de alcool) are un efect dăunător asupra sănătăţii", subliniază autorii acestui raport de "expertiză colectivă", publicat vineri, privind reducerea efectelor negative asociate alcoolului, consumat de circa 43 de milioane de persoane în Franţa. Consumul de alcool este direct sau indirect responsabil pentru circa 60 de boli, inclusiv pentru anumite tipuri de cancer (cum ar fi cancerul de sân), dar şi pentru bolile cardiovasculare. Este, de asemenea, prima cauză a spitalizărilor şi a doua cauză de deces evitabilă în Franţa (după fumat), reamintesc experţii. "Trebuie să ne oprim să mai spunem că este bun pentru inimă", a declarat în legătură cu vinul roşu Mickaël Naassila, cercetător în cadrul Inserm.
