Travel stocks have plunged sharply as the escalating conflict involving the US, Israel, and Iran triggers the most severe disruption to global aviation since the pandemic.

Lawyers Demand Justice After Quebec Teen’s Death


Lawyers representing the family of Nooran Rezayi, a 15-year-old boy fatally shot by police in Longueuil, Quebec, are calling for accountability after allegations of interference in the investigation. Rezayi was killed on September 21, 2025, in a suburban neighborhood south of Montreal.

Quebec’s police watchdog (BEI) has accused local officers of questioning witnesses and attempting to obtain video footage, actions that could compromise the independence of the probe. Lawyers for Rezayi’s family insist such interference cannot go unpunished.

The family has filed a $2.2 million lawsuit against the Longueuil police and the city, claiming “unreasonable and disproportionate force” was used against the unarmed teen. His mother, Fahima Rezayi, has urged authorities to ensure accountability, stressing that “this must never happen again.”

The case has sparked outrage and renewed calls for reform in Quebec’s policing system. Critics argue that protecting the watchdog’s independence is essential to maintaining public trust, especially in fatal encounters with police. For Rezayi’s family, the priority remains clear: justice and systemic change to prevent future tragedies.
