(SeaPRwire) - 根据Human Rights Watch和Amnesty International的最新报告,伊朗正在加大招募年仅12岁的儿童,让他们担任与伊斯兰革命卫队(IRGC)相关的军事职务。这些报告突显了伊朗战争努力内部日益增大的压力。随着美国和以色列空袭的加剧,人权组织和分析人士表示,招募儿童表明伊朗面临人力短缺,并越来越依赖准军事力量来维持国内阵线。这也加剧了冲突的人员成本,使未成年人直接面临危险,同时使伊朗面临潜在的战罪责任。Human Rights Watch表示,伊斯兰革命卫队发起了一项名为"伊朗国土保卫战士"的运动,将最低招募年龄降至12岁,并鼓励未成年人在清真寺和Basij(伊斯兰革命卫队下属的志愿准军事部队)报名。这些职责超出了支援任务的范围,包括"作战巡逻"、驻守检查站和情报活动,随着全国各地的战斗加剧,将儿童直接置于危险之中。Amnesty International表示,招募和部署15岁以下儿童"构成战争罪",并以其核实的视觉证据和目击者证词支持其调查结果。该组织分析了自上周六以来发布的16张照片和视频,显示儿童携带武器(包括AK系列步枪),并在德黑兰、马什哈德和克尔曼沙赫等伊朗城市的检查站、巡逻期间以及国家组织的集会上,与伊斯兰革命卫队和Basij部队一起部署。Amnesty还记录了致命的后果。该组织称,周日,11岁的Alireza Jafari在伊朗的一个检查站陪同其Basij成员父亲时遇害。当局称他在一次以色列无人机袭击后"在执行任务时"身亡。据Amnesty称,这名男孩的母亲告诉伊朗报纸Hamshahri,她的丈夫报告说检查站人手不足,于是带上了他们的两个儿子。她说,丈夫告诉儿子"必须为未来的日子做好准备",并补充说,年仅15、16岁的儿童参与检查站执勤的情况很常见。Amnesty审查的目击者描述称,孩子们明显难以操作武器。德黑兰的一位目击者写道:"我在我们家附近的检查站看到一个孩子……我觉得他大概15岁……他好像因为举枪费劲而喘不过气来。"伊朗卡拉杰的另一位目击者报告说看到一个孩子"拿着一把卡拉什尼科夫步枪",而拉什特的第三位目击者说有些孩子看起来"最多13岁",并警告说他们可能会"随意开火"。在Amnesty引用的一段3月30日拍摄于伊朗马什哈德的视频中,看到两名身穿Basij制服和巴拉克拉瓦头套的孩子,在一次国家组织的集会期间,携带突击步枪站在一辆行驶的车辆上,位置高于欢呼的人群。这次招募活动本身是通过官方渠道进行宣传的,包括海报上描绘了儿童与武装成人在一起,标语是"Basij与人民同在,为人民服务",并附有据称是伊朗最高领袖的引述,呼吁Basij力量保持革命的核心地位。伊朗官员为这项政策辩护,指出他们所谓的青少年中的强烈需求。伊斯兰革命卫队官员Rahim Nadali在接受伊朗国家媒体电视采访时表示,最低年龄定为12岁是因为"青少年和年轻人反复前来表示他们想参加"。Human Rights Watch的Bill Van Esveld表示:"以儿童为目标的军事招募活动,尤其是针对12岁儿童的,是没有任何借口的。"这些报告发布之际,联合国将武装冲突中招募儿童列为"严重侵权行为",国际法禁止招募15岁以下儿童,并将18岁定为参与敌对行动的标准年龄。两个组织都呼吁伊朗当局立即停止招募未成年人,并释放已经服役的未成年人。伊朗驻联合国代表团拒绝了 Digital 的置评请求。本文由第三方内容提供商提供。SeaPRwire (https://www.seaprwire.com/)对此不作任何保证或陈述。

(AsiaGameHub) - The conflict between federal regulators and state authorities escalated on Thursday when the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) initiated a first-of-its-kind legal campaign across multiple states to prevent local officials from classifying prediction markets as unauthorized gambling ventures.
Filed in federal courts in Arizona, Connecticut, and Illinois, all three lawsuits contest those states' actions to prohibit event contracts, including sports-related ones, on exchanges overseen by the CFTC.
In a press release detailing the moves, CFTC Chairman Michael Selig emphasized the agency's commitment to protecting its domain, stating:
The CFTC will continue to protect its exclusive regulatory control over these markets and shield participants from excessive state regulation. States have previously attempted to enforce conflicting and contradictory rules on market participants, but Congress explicitly rejected such a disjointed system of state oversight because it led to weaker consumer safeguards and greater potential for fraud and manipulation.
The lawsuits contend that the Commodity Exchange Act grants the CFTC sole authority over event contracts traded on federally supervised designated contract markets. They allege Arizona, Connecticut, and Illinois are illegally attempting to apply gambling regulations to products the agency asserts are covered by federal commodities law.
Selig also used X to clarify the agency's position, noting the suits were launched to "reassert our statutory authority" following state officials' imposition of "inconsistent and contrary obligations" on prediction markets registered with the CFTC.
The @CFTC has clear and longstanding exclusive jurisdiction to regulate prediction markets. But recently, state regulators have tried to impose inconsistent and contrary obligations on CFTC-registered prediction markets. In response, the CFTC and @TheJusticeDept today filed three…— Mike Selig (@ChairmanSelig) April 2, 2026
The CFTC's move to sue the states was not unexpected. In an X video from February, Selig indicated the agency would adopt a more forceful posture in the prediction market dispute, declaring:
To anyone looking to contest the Commission's authority regarding these contracts, I want to be unambiguous: we'll see you in court.
Arizona Case Centers on Criminal Charges
Arizona has pursued the most aggressive stance against prediction markets, bringing criminal charges against Kalshi in March.
In its new federal complaint, the CFTC cites Arizona's criminal prosecution of Kalshi as proof of the state's extensive efforts to control prediction markets.The complaint states Arizona first issued Kalshi a cease-and-desist letter in May 2025, followed by a 20-count criminal filing in March that accused the exchange of running an illicit gambling operation and placing bets on elections.
The federal lawsuit alleges Arizona is seeking to "criminalize markets" that Congress placed under the CFTC's exclusive purview. It employs the details of Arizona's case against Kalshi to demonstrate the direct clash between state gambling statutes and federal derivatives oversight.
The filing notes specific contentious allegations, such as wagers linked to the 2028 presidential election, the 2026 Arizona gubernatorial race, individual player performances, and the potential enactment of the SAVE Act. It argues this shows Arizona is trying to enforce state gambling law on event contracts the agency maintains are regulated by federal commodities law.
Connecticut & Illinois Cases Focus on Sports Wagering Claims
Connecticut and Illinois have employed a different strategy than Arizona in their attempts to control prediction markets. Rather than filing criminal charges, both states have sent cease-and-desist orders to entities regulated by the CFTC.
The two states describe the activity with minor differences: Connecticut labels it "unlicensed online gambling, more specifically sports wagering," while Illinois deems it illegal "sports wagering" or "gambling" under the Illinois Sports Wagering Act, Criminal Code, and Administrative Code.
However, in the new federal complaints, the CFTC asserts both states are fundamentally doing the same thing: classifying event contracts on federally regulated exchanges as gambling products that must comply with state law.
The agency maintains this is precisely what the Commodity Exchange Act forbids, as it gives the CFTC exclusive control over those markets and overrides enforcement at the state level.
The complaints argue that gambling enforcement varying by state would upset the nationally consistent framework Congress established for derivatives markets.
The Connecticut complaint states that applying state gambling laws to federally regulated exchanges would produce the very regulatory "patchwork" Congress aimed to avoid. The Illinois filing adds that state enforcement would "undermine that uniformity, thwart Congress’s scheme, and intrude on Plaintiffs’ exclusive jurisdiction."
Arizona Case Quickly Folded Into Existing Kalshi Fight
The CFTC's Arizona lawsuit is already merging with a related legal fight. Sports betting and gaming attorney Daniel Wallach reported on X that U.S. District Judge Michael T. Liburdi has issued an order combining the CFTC's new suit against Arizona officials with Kalshi's ongoing case against the state.

The combined case will move forward under Kalshi's lead docket number. This means one of the CFTC's three new legal challenges is already being incorporated into the larger judicial dispute over whether states can classify federally regulated event contracts as gambling.
Liburdi stated consolidation was warranted because the two cases involve a "common question of law or fact" concerning Arizona's power to regulate these markets.
This step positions Arizona to be among the first jurisdictions where courts evaluate the CFTC's argument that federal law supersedes state gambling enforcement actions against prediction markets.

(AsiaGameHub) - Kentucky lawmakers have approved HB 904, the Wagering Consumer Protection Act, and forwarded the legislation to Gov. Andy Beshear, setting the stage for a major overhaul of the state’s sports betting, fantasy competition, and horse racing sectors.
A key change in the bill raises the minimum age for sports betting to 21 while establishing the minimum age for fantasy contests at 18.
The bill also expands the state’s regulatory framework and targets prediction markets directly. Under the legislation, an “event contract” is defined as a transaction linked to the outcome of a future event, and a “prediction market” is a platform where consumers can trade based on those outcomes.
These definitions include a restriction that bars Kentucky-licensed racetracks, fantasy operators, and their affiliates from participating in or contracting with platforms offering event contracts within the commonwealth.
The measure introduces new rules for fixed-odds wagering on live horse racing, creates a licensing structure for fantasy contest providers, and strengthens responsible gaming provisions—including requiring the Kentucky Horse Racing and Gaming Corporation to establish a self-exclusion list for problem gamblers.
The bill further solidifies Kentucky’s horse racing regulator as the state’s central gaming watchdog. It grants the corporation expanded authority over sports wagering, fantasy contests, and fixed-odds wagering, while mandating new regulations on licensing, geolocation, integrity monitoring, audits, and enforcement.
Governor Beshear is expected to sign the measure into law, completing a multi-year effort to refine Kentucky’s wagering statutes.
Fixed-Odds Betting, Fantasy Contests, and New Mandates
Among the changes HB 904 makes to Kentucky’s gaming laws, it adds new rules for fixed-odds wagering on live horse racing. Under the bill, fixed-odds wagers placed at a licensed track will be taxed at 9.75%, while online wagers will face a 14.25% tax—with revenue directed to a new purse stabilization fund.
The measure also sets a mandatory minimum bet limit of at least $1,000 per race, with the betting menu determined by the host track.
For sports betting, the bill bans certain prop bets on individual athletes from Kentucky college teams when the winning outcome depends on a player failing to meet a statistical threshold or posting a negative performance.
Another provision in the bill addresses child support enforcement for online gaming accounts. It requires operators to check applicants against a child support registry, deny account creation to those on the list, and suspend existing accounts if they are later flagged.
Fantasy Contests, Integrity Regulations, and Additional Changes
The bill revises several other parts of Kentucky’s gaming law by establishing a comprehensive licensing and compliance regime for fantasy contest operators, including geolocation requirements, criminal background checks, annual compliance reviews, anti-fraud safeguards, and self-exclusion measures.
To strengthen integrity protections, the bill requires fantasy contest operators to collaborate with regulators and law enforcement on investigations involving suspicious conduct tied to underlying sporting events—including match-fixing and other illegal activity.

(AsiaGameHub) - A senior Russian Communist Party official has urged the Kremlin to dismiss the Ministry of Finance's contentious proposal to legalize online casinos.
According to the Russian media outlet News.ru, Georgy Kamnev, a State Duma deputy and member of the Communist Party's Central Committee, demanded a "complete ban on online casinos in Russia." He insisted the Kremlin should block all internet-based gambling platforms "without exception."
Kamnev called for banks and Roskomnadzor, Russia's internet watchdog, to "join forces" and render these platforms technically inaccessible to citizens.
The lawmaker stated that commercial banks and Roskomnadzor need to intensify their efforts to block mirror sites operated by gambling platforms.
He further pressed the government to eliminate "VPN bypasses" and instructed banks to halt any payments they believe are associated with online casinos.

Online Casino Legalization Plan Is ‘Dangerous,’ Says Lawmaker
The Communist Party official described online casinos as a "dangerous sector that ruins people's lives."
"Gambling addiction leads Russians to accumulate massive debts," Kamnev stated. "People take out microloans at exorbitant interest rates, mortgage their apartments, and even sell their property [to gamble]."
Kamnev explained that once their funds are depleted, debt collectors "appear on the doorstep." In the worst instances, "it ends in suicide," the deputy added.
He asserted that the state's duty is to protect its citizens, not to profit from their vulnerabilities. "The health of the nation and the well-being of Russian families are more important than boosting dubious tax revenues," he said.
Tax Bookmakers More, Urges Politician
The ministry argues that it requires new sources of tax revenue. It also claims that its attempts to close online casinos are mostly ineffective, as operators utilize a multitude of mirror and proxy sites to circumvent blocking measures.
Finance officials state that imposing a tax of 30% on online casino operators' annual profits, after deducting winnings payouts, would generate billions of dollars annually for Moscow.
However, legislators remain doubtful. Some have proposed different methods to tax the gambling industry without permitting online casinos.
One such lawmaker is Sergei Mironov, the head of the A Just Russia political faction.
In January, Mironov said the Russian government should raise profit taxes on bookmakers and legal land-based casinos to 50% rather than legalize online casinos.
"We could also double tax rates on gaming tables, slot machines, and more. This will bring money into the state budget and curb the fast-growing profits of gambling establishments," Mironov stated.
The A Just Russia leader informed the same media outlet that the nation already has "plenty of land-based gambling establishments."
"There is no need to expand this sector any further," he concluded.
Police Issue Warning
Gambling industry representatives express confidence that legislators could approve the ministry's legislative proposals before the month's end.
Experts and police officials report that betting addiction is increasing in Russia.
Last month, police in Luzino, a village in the Omsk Oblast, charged a man with stealing his friend's phone.
The suspect allegedly used the device to take money, which he then squandered on an illegal casino app.

Dark Star Pictures(SeaPRwire) - 上个月有消息曝出,赵婷计划重启的《吸血鬼猎人巴菲》项目不会在Hulu推进,伤透了一众渴望重回桑尼戴尔的粉丝的心。但Scoobies们无需哀悼:受青年文学影响的超自然恐怖爱情精神,在《The Serpent’s Skin》中得到了传承。澳大利亚编剧兼导演Alice Maio Mackay今年仅21岁,这已经是她的第六部长片。她主打自制电影,取用大众熟悉的类型片框架,再通过自身经历,以及身边酷儿群体的经历进行重新诠释。Mackay的作品和创作者本人一同成长,逐渐跳出夸张俗套的风格,转向更真挚动人的表达。《The Serpent’s Skin》就是这个转型转折点。 从视觉特效和化妆依然能看出这是一部低成本制作,但它带着讨喜的复古感,很容易让人想起千禧年初的超自然青少年美剧——比如《圣女魔咒》,当然还有《吸血鬼猎人巴菲》。本片剧情独立完整,但保持了电视剧的单元剧节奏:先介绍主角、建立人物关系,在影片中段才引出超自然威胁——本片中的威胁是一个受诅咒的纹身,它把片中的帅小伙变成了蛇形魅妖。 就连超自然化妆都和《巴菲》风格相似。| Dark Star Pictures不过说实在的,这个超自然威胁更像是支线剧情。《The Serpent’s Skin》的核心是Anna(Alexandra McVicker饰)和Gen(Avalon Fast饰)的爱情:Anna是一位性格温柔的年轻跨性别女性,刚逃离压抑压抑的小镇,来投奔自己的姐姐(Charlotte Chimes饰);Gen是一名纹身师兼女巫,走遍世界只为寻找她在梦中见到的女人。Anna就是那个命中注定的人,二人对彼此一见钟情,吸引力强烈。 McVicker和Fast之间的化学反应温柔动人,两人坠入这段敞开心扉的恋情,加上他们共同探索灵能力量时能力会变得更强,这段关系也愈发浓烈,两人演来十分可信自然。对新晋女巫Anna来说,Gen的身份多变,时而爱人、时而老师、时而导师、时而挚友,二人之间的亲密感浓烈浪漫。本片将酷儿身份与魔法绑定的设定也十分鼓舞人心:故事开篇,Gen就告诉Anna,她能“闯入”他人思绪的能力是“你几乎下意识建起的防御机制”,把她的厚脸皮变成了一种超能力。 在影片后半段转入“每周一怪”的单元剧模式之前,《The Serpent’s Skin》就像是空灵的女同视角《夺命凶眼 Scanners》,其彩色打光让人想起另一部受《巴菲》启发的作品——跨女性导演Jane Schoenbrun的《I Saw the TV Glow》。这并不令人意外:跨性别电影圈本就很小,类型片领域更是如此。虽然Schoenbrun没有直接参与《The Serpent’s Skin》的制作,但另有两位知名跨性别电影人参与了本片:《The People’s Joker》导演Vera Drew担任本片剪辑,《Castration Movie》大师Louise Weard担任制片。Drew的剪辑是本片一大亮点,为影片增添了迷幻质感,大大强化了其如梦似幻的氛围。这部对类型程序剧做了酷儿更新的作品会吸引《I Saw the TV Glow》粉丝的喜爱。| Dark Star Pictures 不过归根结底,《The Serpent’s Skin》是Mackay的个人愿景,她在大银幕上的化身McVicker用内敛警觉的优雅完美演绎了这一切。这是一个幻想——关于归属感,关于以柔克刚的力量,关于能够保护所爱之人远离世间所有暴力与仇恨,但它扎根于真实的生活体验,因此十分扎实可信。在当今世界,作为酷儿可能会充满恐惧,但也可以是超然美好的。所有这些情绪都在本片中得到了体现——长着蛇牙的emo混账恶魔只是额外增添趣味的彩蛋罢了。 The Serpent’s Skin目前已在纽约、旧金山和洛杉矶的部分影院上映,4月10日起将在全美Alamo Drafthouses扩映。本文由第三方内容提供商提供。SeaPRwire (https://www.seaprwire.com/)对此不作任何保证或陈述。

Strasbourg, France & Schiphol, Netherlands, Apr 3, 2026 - (JCN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Transgene (Euronext Paris: TNG), a biotech company that designs and develops virus-based immunotherapies for the treatment of cancer, and NEC Bio B.V. ("NEC"), a wholly owned subsidiary of NEC Corporation (TSE: 6701), a leader in IT, network and AI technologies, announce the signing of a license agreement to advance the clinical development of TG4050, an individualized neoantigen therapeutic vaccine (INTV) in the adjuvant treatment of resected HPV-negative head and neck cancer.TG4050 is an individualized immunotherapy based on an MVA viral vector incorporating neoantigens selected using NEC’s AI-enabled prediction platform. It is currently being evaluated in patients with head and neck cancer with the aim of preventing relapse and extend disease-free survival following surgery and adjuvant therapy. TG4050 is designed to stimulate and educate the immune system against a patient’s cancer using tumor-specific genetic mutations (neoantigens) targeting each patient’s unique tumor. These neoantigens are identified and selected using NEC’s proprietary platform, which applies advanced machine learning to select immunogenic mutations that are most likely to induce a strong immune response.Under the terms of the license agreement, Transgene secures access to NEC’s AI-based neoantigen prediction platform for further development of TG4050 in the adjuvant treatment of resected HPV-negative head and neck cancer while conferring rights to enable Transgene’s further clinical development and to support commercialization and potential partnering of the program. NEC retains full ownership and operational control of its AI platform and will support Transgene to conduct further clinical activity.NEC will receive a technology access fee of €2.5 million in Transgene shares following the signing (see below) and an additional €2.5 million in cash to be paid out in a series of tranches through early 2028. Additionally, a further payment will be milestone-based and a portion of such payment will be made in Transgene’ shares. NEC is also eligible to receive undisclosed additional consideration including development milestone payments, as well as a double-digit share of profits or licensing revenues."Building on the results of our long-standing collaboration and with the license to use NEC’s prediction platform, we are now in a strong position to pursue further development of TG4050, which will be informed by data from our ongoing Phase 2 trial. We are also pleased to welcome NEC as a shareholder of Transgene and appreciate their confidence as we work together to advance a treatment that has the potential to improve the outcomes for patients at risk of relapse in head and neck cancer," said Dr. Alessandro Riva, Chairman and CEO of Transgene.Akira Kitamura, GM, AI Drug Development Division of NEC Corporation and CEO of NEC Bio, added, "This agreement is an important milestone in our partnership with Transgene and reflects NEC’s long-term commitment to the development of TG4050. This collaboration is a clear example of how NEC can bring differentiated AI capabilities to biopharma. The clinical data generated to date is encouraging and support the potential of TG4050 as a promising approach to reducing relapse risk in patients with head and neck cancer. We look forward to deepening our collaboration with Transgene and to realizing the full clinical and strategic potential of this partnership."Capital increaseAs indicated above, a €2.5 million portion of the access fee to be paid to NEC will be paid in Transgene shares. Transgene will thus issue 3,345,824 new shares to NEC Bio B.V. at a price of €0.7472 per share. This price corresponds to the volume-weighted average (VWAP) of the last five (5) closing prices of the Transgene shares on the regulated market of Euronext in Paris prior to signing. The new shares will represent 1.22% of the share capital of Transgene post issuance (and 0.98% of its voting rights)1.The capital increase is carried out on the basis of the 22nd resolution of the Combined General Meeting of May 15, 2025. The new shares will be admitted to trading on the regulated market of Euronext in Paris as soon as they are issued and will be immediately assimilated to the existing Transgene shares (ISIN code FR0005175080).The capital increase is expected to be completed by the end of April 2026.(1) Based on today’s share capital and voting rights.ShareAbout TG4050TG4050 is an individualized immunotherapy being developed in the treatment of resected HPV-negative head and neck cancer that is based on Transgene’s myvac® technology and powered by NEC’s longstanding artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) expertise. This virus-based individualized neoantigen therapeutic vaccine (INTV) encodes neoantigens (patient-specific mutations) identified and selected by NEC’s Neoantigen Prediction System. The prediction system is based on more than two decades of expertise in AI and has been trained on proprietary data allowing it to prioritize and select the sequences that are predicted to be the most immunogenic sequences.TG4050 is designed to stimulate the immune system of patients in order to induce a T-cell response that is able to recognize and destroy tumor cells based on their own neoantigens. This individualized immunotherapy is developed and produced for each patient.About TransgeneTransgene (Euronext: TNG) is a biotechnology company focused on designing and developing targeted immunotherapies for the treatment of cancer. The Company’s clinical-stage programs consist of a portfolio of viral vector-based immunotherapeutics.
