UK UK Moves to Lower Voting Age to 16 in Landmark Electoral Reform
Picture courtesy of Wikipedia In a groundbreaking move, the British government announced plans today to lower the voting age to 16 in all UK elections. This initiative is part of a sweeping electoral reform effort that requires parliamentary approval but aims to align voting rights with Scotland and Wales, where 16- and 17-year-olds already vote in devolved elections. Deputy Prime Minister Angela Rayner emphasised the importance of engaging youth in democracy, stating, "We're breaking down barriers to ensure broader participation in UK democracy." The changes come after a notably low voter turnout of 59.7% in the 2024 general election, the lowest since 2001, prompting calls for increased civic engagement. Research from the House of Commons library suggests that allowing 16-year-olds to vote does not significantly alter election outcomes, though they tend to vote more actively than when first eligible at 18. Labour, facing a decline in popularity after a sweeping victory just a year ago, had previously pledged this reform as part of their campaign. In addition to lowering the voting age, the proposed reforms would expand acceptable voter ID options to include UK-issued bank cards and digital formats like driving licences and Veteran Cards. To combat potential foreign interference, the government also plans stricter rules on political donations, scrutinising contributions exceeding 22,000 Thai Baht (£500). The proposed reforms represent a significant shift in the UK's democratic landscape, potentially energising young voters and reshaping future electoral dynamics. The focus now turns to parliamentary discussions, which will determine if these bold changes become a reality. Adapted by ASEAN Now from [source] 2025-07-18 -

Crime Woman Tortured with Hot Iron & Held Captive by Ex-Husband
Picture courtesy of SiamNews. A 32-year-old woman has come forward with harrowing allegations of brutal assault, torture and repeated abuse at the hands of her former husband, including being burned with a hot iron, forcibly detained and subjected to sexual assault. The victim, referred to as Ms Bua, was accompanied to Krathum Baen Police Station, Samut Sakon, by social activist Kan Jompalang and his team on 16 July to give additional testimony after receiving hospital treatment. The incident has sparked widespread outrage, with calls for stronger protective measures and swift justice. Ms Bua revealed that the assault occurred after her ex-husband lured her to his home under the pretext of picking up their child. Upon arrival, she was dragged into the house, bound by the wrists with rope tied to metal bars and violently beaten. He then used a hot iron to burn her face and legs, leaving her with disfiguring scars. She was held captive for several days in a locked house under the watch of another woman who prevented her from escaping. Despite begging to be taken to hospital, her pleas were ignored. She finally escaped by climbing out of a window and hiding near a neighbouring house before being taken to hospital. Ms Bua has been under medical care for over 20 days. She still bears visible burn wounds to her face and lower body and fears permanent scarring. Psychological trauma and ongoing threats from her ex-husband have left her in fear for her life. The victim disclosed that she had been in a relationship with the man for 8–9 years, during which physical abuse was frequent. She had previously left him but was repeatedly harassed and manipulated into returning. She stated that this was the fourth major assault this year alone. She said the man threatened her life, claiming he was untouchable due to connections with local police. Messages seen by Kan Jompalang showed him warning her not to press charges, insisting they “handle things as a family.” Authorities have confirmed that there is no record of any personal connections shielding the suspect from legal consequences. Pol. Lt. Col. Taweesak Lekkla, the investigating officer at Krathum Baen Police Station, said the attack occurred on 12 June but was only reported later, because the victim had been unable to escape immediately. The police are treating the case seriously and are awaiting full medical documentation before proceeding with charges. The suspect has been summoned and is cooperating with the investigation. The police also assured that both parties would be treated fairly and that a full investigation would be conducted in accordance with the law. Kan Jompalang, who has become a prominent advocate for victims of domestic violence, stated: “This is not just assault, it is a barbaric act. If the relationship is over, let the person go. She is not a slave. What he did to her, the burns, the confinement, the rape, it’s unforgivable.” He confirmed that the Ministry of Social Development and Human Security (MSDHS) is now providing the victim with psychological support and arranging a safe house. He also said he has helped arrange work for her in a private factory to ensure her safety and independence. Ms Bua stated, “No matter how badly we argued, no woman deserves to be treated like this. I’m not going back. I want a divorce. I want my life back.” Authorities have promised to expedite the investigation, with the possibility of further charges including unlawful detention and sexual assault.

EU Germany Cracks Down on Smugglers as UK Ties Strengthen
File photo for reference only | Courtesy of Wikipedia Germany plans to tighten laws targeting gangs smuggling migrants to the UK, with changes expected by year-end, announced during Chancellor Friedrich Merz's visit to Britain. This move makes facilitating illegal migration to the UK a criminal offense in Germany, acting as a deterrent to smugglers exploiting this legal loophole. The announcement is part of a broader UK-Germany agreement focused on migration, business, and defence. Once implemented, the new law will allow German authorities to crack down on smugglers using warehouses for boat storage intended for Channel crossings. This decision follows a BBC probe revealing Germany's role in the illegal transportation chain. The UK's Prime Minister Keir Starmer welcomed the initiative, given the rising numbers of Channel crossings. Over 21,000 migrants have made the dangerous journey this year, representing a 56% increase compared to 2024. The new measures are seen as vital in addressing this growing crisis. Meanwhile, the UK's new pilot return scheme with France, part of a "one in, one out" approach, aims to manage small boat arrivals by exchanging asylum seekers with connections to the UK. Opposition leader Chris Philp criticised the government for struggling to manage border control and accused Starmer of offering superficial solutions. Defence-related agreements will also feature prominently during the visit, with plans to boost UK exports of military equipment such as Boxer vehicles and Typhoon jets. This cooperation promises to bring significant economic benefits and job creation in both countries. The visit will see the launch of a UK-Germany Business Forum, promoting investment and leading to commercial deals worth over 8,790,000 THB (£200m), expected to create over 600 jobs. Notably, German defence tech firm STARK plans to open its first facility outside Germany in Swindon, generating 100 jobs. The strengthened bilateral ties signal a significant step forward in addressing mutual concerns while fostering economic growth. The future cooperation between the UK and Germany aims to tackle illegal migration effectively and enhance their defence and business partnerships. Adapted by ASEAN Now from BBC 2025-07-18
