We are deeply concerned about reports of police intervention at #PalestineCongress & that invited speaker Dr Ghassan Abu Sitta was denied entry to #Germany .

These serious risks to freedom of expression & discrimination must urgently be investigated by German authorities.

🇺🇸 President Biden drop the charges against #Assange !

The US government’s unrelenting pursuit of Assange for having published classified documents that included possible war crimes committed by the US military is nothing short of a full-scale assault on the right to freedom of expression

“The ongoing persecution of Assange makes a mockery of the USA’s obligations under international law, & their stated commitment to freedom of expression,” said

Even with the joy in my personal life, today’s Eid felt very sore
Eid in Gaza: ‘The only thing to celebrate is that we’re still alive’ on.ft.com/3UdPFTF

The European Parliament has just adopted the #EU MigrationPact , set to shape the #EU ’s response to #asylumseekers , #refugees and #migrants for years to come. This will mean more suffering and rights violations at each step of a person’s journey.

We are aware of reports that members of the World Central Kitchen team have been killed in an IDF attack while working to support our humanitarian food delivery efforts in Gaza. This is a tragedy. Humanitarian aid workers and civilians should NEVER be a target. EVER.

They’ve already been slaughtering our journalists - this ban was always coming. AJ has been the only channel to consistently show the Israeli crimes first hand from day one. What worries me is what they have planned in the aftermath of this ban.

Thank you Algeria
شكرا للجزائر Algeria to the UN

The situation in Gaza is dire.

UNRWA is an essential lifeline to over 2 million Gazans at risk of genocide. But this assistance can only continue with EU support.

Today, European Ombudsman released the findings of its inquiry into the role of #Frontex in Search and Rescue and in the #Pylos case.

After a series of tragic avoidable shipwrecks & thousands of pullbacks to detention and torture in #Libya enabled by Frontex, reforms are long overdue.

🚨REVEALED: For weeks we've captivated audiences with this trailer for a new drama about the harsh realities of temporary housing.

Here's the twist: this isn't drama, it’s real life.

At least 34 children have died in temporary accommodation since 2019.

In the early morning of 26 February 2023, at least 94 people, including 35 children, lost their lives, as the boat they travelled on crashed near the beach of Steccato di #Cutro , in Italy.
