This Day in History:, Nelson Mandela Is
Inaugurated in South Africa.
May 10, 1994.
Nelson Rolihlahla Mandela had
been a political prisoner in
South Africa for 27 years.
In 1964, under the racist regime
of apartheid instituted by the National Party.
Mandela had been convicted
and sentenced to life in prison
on charges of sabotage,
treason and conspiracy.
While in prison, Mandela's resolve
was steadfast and he continued to
be the symbolic leader of the
anti-apartheid movement.
Released by South African president
F.W. de Klerk on February 11, 1990,
Mandela led negotiations for the end of apartheid.
Four years later, 22 million
South Africans would turn out
to vote for Mandela, electing him
the first black president of South Africa

Elon Musk's start-up Neuralink on Thursday said it has gotten approval from US regulators to test its brain implants in people. Neuralink said that clearance from the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for its first-in-human clinical study is ‘an important first step’ for its technology, which is intended to let brains interface directly with computers.

The first of the three Russian hypersonic missile scientists to be arrested on suspicion of treason will go on trial next week in a case which apparently involves accusations of betraying secrets to foreign adversaries. The criminal case against Anatoly Maslov, 76, will open in Saint Petersburg’s city court on June 1. The St. Petersburg City Court also ruled on May 24 that Maslov's detention would be extended until at least November 10. Soon after his arrest, authorities had flown him to Moscow and put him in pre-trial detention in Lefortovo prison…a former KGB interrogation site where Wall Street Journal reporter Evan Gershkovich is also being held. The details of the case are classified, but some local media reports cited sources close to scientific circles as saying that the three scholars are suspected of handing information related to their research to China.
