Watch: Horrific moment as riders left hanging upside down in Japan's rollercoaster

A new TikTok trend that is increasingly becoming popular in the US has raised concerns among health experts who believe that it promotes suicidal thoughts.

Called #FairyFlying, this potentially dangerous trend is said to be inspired by mythical creatures.

The trend encourages millions of users to create fake suicide-by-hanging videos. These clips show a lifeless body swaying in the air, leading many viewers to draw comparisons to “suicide by hanging.”

Though it appears that the people are hanging themselves, the reality is that they are standing on a dresser while their crocs hang onto a wardrobe.

<h2>Trend gaining massive traction</h2>

The trend has so far reached an all-time high of 66 million views till Wednesday.

The Chinese-based social media has responded to the trend saying, “At TikTok, we strictly prohibit and remove content that promotes dangerous behaviour with the safety of our community as a priority.”

However, experts argue that these videos easily bypass the guidelines of TikTok because they are often portrayed in a harmless and a “cute” manner.

A TikToker who was seen doing the challenge and goes by the username @fairypowers123456 presented the content in a "cute" and "preppy" way, which did not attract any response from TikTok.

“This trend could trigger possible emotions for individuals who tend to have suicidal tendencies or be equally disturbing for people who have had loved ones attempt or commit suicide previously," Dr Josh Stein told New York Post.

"Even in the most unknowing of ways, videos that showcase individuals hanging across a room could be disconcerting," Stein was quoted as saying.

When the trend first made its way into TikTok, a lot of users were appalled by it. It’s being argued that when the making of the trend was made available, lot of people were inspired by it, and from there the trend picked up.

New TikTok trend #FairyFlying showing people hanging themselves raises concerns in US

The Supreme Court in Iran accepted the appeal of a protester against his death sentence after he was held guilty for allegedly destroying public property during anti-government protests, sending his case for another review, said the judiciary on Saturday.&nbsp;The police had arrested Noor Mohammadzadeh, aged 25, on October 4 and two months later, he was sentenced to death after being charged with “waging war against God”. He had allegedly set a garbage bin on fire and attempted to break a highway guardrail in Tehran.

The accusations were rejected by him, as he claimed that the authorities had forced him to confess to the&nbsp;crime. Protesting against his trial, he sat on a hunger strike two weeks ago.&nbsp;

Amnesty International has stated that the authorities in Iran have announced the death penalty for at least 26 other protesters.

“The Supreme Court has accepted the appeal of Sahand Noor Mohammadzadeh, one of the accused in the recent riots. His case has been sent to the same branch of the Revolutionary Court for review,” announced the judiciary’s Mizan news agency on Twitter.

Iran court takes a u-turn after protester goes on hunger strike against death sentence

According to a curator at the German museum, an abstract painting by Dutch artist Piet Mondrian has been hanging upside down for 77 years.&nbsp;

At the Kunstsammlung museum in Düsseldorf, a sizable retrospective of the avant-garde artist's work debuted on Saturday. Among the works on display is "New York City 1," a 1941 painting.&nbsp;

Susanne Meyer-Buser, the exhibition's curator, learned as she was getting ready for the presentation that the picture had been displayed to the public somewhat differently than it had perhaps been meant.

"In a photo from 1944, I saw that the canvas was the other way around on an easel. It intrigued me," Meyer-Buser told the German daily Suddeutsche Zeitung.

The painting, which was made up of multiple lines in blue, red, and yellow that intersected at right angles, was later shown incorrectly at MoMA in New York, according to the curator.&nbsp;

In 1980, it was moved to a museum in Düsseldorf where a similar display was constructed.&nbsp;

According to Meyer-Buser, the mistake might have been made because "the painting doesn't have a signature."&nbsp;

When Mondrian passed away in 1944, "the artist's name inscribed on the back of the frame by the administrator of the (artist's estate)" certainly played a role in the choice to display the piece in the way it has been for decades.

Mondrian, who was born in 1872, was a well-known representative of the abstract painting movement "De Stijl" in the 1920s and one of the most significant figures in 20th-century contemporary art.&nbsp;

He relocated to New York in 1940, where the city's skyscrapers and layout served as an inspiration for his horizontal lines. 1944 saw his death in New York.&nbsp;

"Victory Boogie Woogie," his most well-known piece of art, is regarded as one of the most significant pieces of 20th-century art.

The execution of Jamaat-e-Islami financier Mir Quasem Ali for committing war crimes in 1971 has ignited an angry&nbsp;diplomatic&nbsp;debate between Pakistan and Bangladesh. 
 
Pakistan said it was &quot;deeply&nbsp;saddened&quot; about the hanging of Quasem as his execution took place due to a &quot;flawed judicial process&quot;. 
 
Bangladesh reacted to the statement by summoning Pakistani Acting High Commissioner Samina Mehtab and&nbsp;handing him a &ldquo;note verbale&rdquo; to mark their strong protest, local news website bdnews24.com reported. 
 
Quasem was handed a death sentence by the International Crime Tribunal on two counts, including kidnapping and murder of a teenager who wanted East Pakistan to become a separate country.

Jamaat-e-Islami financier Mir Quasem Ali's hanging elicited an 'unfair trial' response from Pakistan to which Bangladesh strongly retaliated

The execution of Jamaat-e-Islami financier Mir Quasem Ali for committing war crimes in 1971 has ignited an angry diplomatic debate between Pakistan and Bangladesh. Pakistan said it was "deeply saddened" about the hanging of Quasem as his execution took place due to a "flawed judicial process". Bangladesh reacted to the statement by summoning Pakistani Acting High Commissioner Samina Mehtab and handing him a “note verbale” to mark their strong protest, local news website bdnews24.com reported. Quasem was handed a death sentence by the International Crime Tribunal on two counts, including kidnapping and murder of a teenager who wanted East Pakistan to become a separate country. It must be remembered that East Pakistan, present-day Bangladesh, was a Pakistani state till they fought a war in 1971 to carve their own state. "The act of suppressing the Opposition through flawed trials is completely against the spirit of democracy," Pakistan Foreign Office (FO) spokesman Zakaria had said in reaction to Quasem's death. "The government of Bangladesh should uphold its commitment, as per the Tripartite Agreement of 1974, wherein it 'decided not to proceed with the trials as an act of clemency'."
