The Portuguese inquiry, commissioned by the Church in the staunchly Catholic country, published the shocking findings on Monday after hearing from more than 500 victims abused since 1950.

"These testimonies allow us to reach to a much more extensive victim network, calculated at a minimum number, absolute minimum, of 4815 victims,” commission head Pedro Strecht, a child psychiatrist, told a press conference in the Portuguese capital, Lisbon.

Stressing that most of the perpetrators, 77%, were priests and most of the victims were men, Strecht said the victims were abused in Catholic schools, priests' homes and confessionals, among other locations.

"The majority of victims leave the church as an institution and stop practicing the religion after the abuse and this is passed on to the next generations," the commission head added.

The six-member Portuguese commission initiated the investigation in January last year after a report in France revealed around 3,000 priests and religious officials sexually abused over 200,000 children.......More Below

Treaty on Strategic Partnership Between Russia and Iran Enters Into Force - Ambassador

Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova earlier said that the treaty provides for various forms of bilateral cooperation.

The comprehensive strategic partnership agreement between Russia and Iran has entered into force, Iranian Ambassador to Russia Kazem Jalali told Sputnik.

"It is already binding," Jalali said when asked about the date of entry into force of the agreement, as well as whether Iran had notified Russia of the completion of internal procedures.
He recalled that the treaty was ratified by both chambers of the Russian parliament, and Russian President Vladimir Putin signed it. At the same time, the document was ratified by the Iranian parliament, approved by the Guardian Council, and the president issued it as a law.

"Therefore, in both countries it currently has the form of a law and, naturally, has entered into force," Jalali said.

PALESTINE Global coalition charges Israel with genocide, defies US threats to pursue justice

Defying the United States threats, ministers from more than 30 nations have packed Bogotá’s San Carlos Palace to charge the Israeli regime with genocide over its October 2023-present brutal military assault against the Gaza Strip.

The dramatic display of international solidarity saw dozens of high-ranking officials from across the globe convene inside the stately palace on Tuesday, determined to hold the regime accountable for, what they unequivocally called, a “war of genocide.”

The two-day emergency summit, organized under the auspices of The Hague Group -- a coalition co-chaired by Colombia and South Africa -- had representatives, ranging from such countries as Algeria and Brazil to Pakistan and Spain, in attendance.

The participants described the drive as a coordinated effort to stop the Israeli atrocities.

Behind closed doors, ministers and envoys, meanwhile, engaged in intensive sessions aimed at drafting collective measures to pressure the regime -- steps expected to be unveiled by ...
