Two years ago, Swedish and European diplomat Johan Floderus was illegally detained in Iran.

For two years, he has been imprisoned in inhumane conditions.

Today at European Parliament, our message was one: #FreeJohanFloderus and bring him back to his family.

The excess deaths occuring in Gaza through famine and lack of medical care will be many thousands more than die in bombardment. Ceasefire is needed to allow medical care to start safely. I was grateful to these medics for their, efforts, time and harrowing testimony.

The other mistakenly ticked a box on a form which meant he received 30p per week more in benefits over 6 years.

Which one do you think was harangued, convicted, lost their home, driven to depression and attempted suicide?

A carer who says he was “dragged through the courts” and had to sell his home to pay back almost £20,000 in benefit overpayments is fighting to clear his name after the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) acknowledged he made an 'innocent mistake'. theguardian.com/society/2024/a…
