Dr Ju Young Um, a 34-year-old anaesthetist, has been sentenced to 18 months in prison after being found guilty of 23 voyeurism charges. The Glasgow Sheriff Court heard how Um installed hidden cameras inside air fresheners and a smoke alarm in his Hyndland property, which he partially rented out on Airbnb. The devices were strategically placed to capture individuals in private situations, leading to the recording of over 24 people over a span of more than three years.

The discovery of the cameras was prompted by a victim who noticed the unusual positioning of two air fresheners in the bathroom. Upon closer inspection, hidden cameras were found inside the plastic containers, and a subsequent search revealed a third camera concealed within a smoke alarm. The victim's report to the police led to the seizure of the cameras, along with a mobile phone, laptop, and storage device containing recordings of several individuals.

Further investigations uncovered that Um had also covertly filmed people in private situations within staff accommodation at Dumfries and Galloway Royal Infirmary. Fraser Gibson, the procurator fiscal for Glasgow and Strathkelvin, described Um's actions as calculated and premeditated, emphasizing the breach of trust and the significant violation of privacy for his own sexual gratification.

In addition to the prison sentence, Um has been placed on the sex offenders register for 10 years and will remain on licence for a further nine months following his release, during which time he will be subject to close monitoring and supervision. The case highlights the severe consequences of violating privacy and the importance of vigilance in shared and rented accommodations.

Families of the 29 victims killed in the 1994 Chinook helicopter crash are escalating their decades-long fight for answers, preparing to deliver a petition with more than 47,000 signatures to Downing Street demanding a public inquiry. The Chinook Justice Campaign has published 110 "critical questions" they want answered about the tragedy that claimed the lives of 25 intelligence experts and four special forces crew members when the aircraft crashed on the Mull of Kintyre on June 2, 1994.

The campaign comes after Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer rejected calls for a judge-led inquiry into the incident, prompting families to declare they will "see the UK government in court." Among those delivering the petition on Tuesday are brothers Andy and Matt Tobias from Watford, whose father John Tobias was killed in the crash. The petition delivery will be accompanied by an attempt to deliver a letter directly to the Ministry of Defence.

Central to the families' concerns are questions about mission authorization, aircraft selection, and whether those on board were properly warned of risks. The campaign has gained momentum amid revelations that key documents related to the crash have been sealed until 2094—a century after the incident occurred. David Hill, technical expert for the Chinook Justice Campaign, characterized the government's position as "a betrayal by the state of them and their loved ones."

The crash investigation has followed a contentious path over the past three decades. Initial findings blamed pilot error for the tragedy, but this conclusion was overturned in 2011. The continuing secrecy surrounding the incident has drawn criticism from campaigners who argue it "undermines trust not only in the MoD but in the government itself." As families prepare to confront the government directly, the case represents one of Britain's longest-running military accountability battles.
