#Bulgaria: Two weeks after the attacks on several reporters covering the parliamentary election, the police investigation appears to be at a standstill. RSF calls on the Ministry of the Interior to reassure journalists & swiftly bring the perpetrators to justice.

The Israeli story is pagers exploding on the waists of militants in battle.
Our own eyes show people bleeding to death from explosions at cafes, homes with children, grocery stores and on buses surrounded by others.
Our own eyes have been right since 1948.

Aysenur Ezgi, an American of Turkish decent, has died after being shot in the head by Israeli soldiers in the town of Beita.
Aysenur was shot in the head while participating in protests against settlement expansion.
Will @JoeBiden convene a cabinet meeting for her?

Violence extrême et refoulements systématiques : la police bulgare fait régner la terreur à ses frontières.
Les agents de Frontex présents restent passifs. Ils ont pourtant le devoir de protéger les exilés dont les droits humains sont violés !

#Gaza: @AlJazeera journalists Ismail al-Ghoul & Ramy al-Rifee join the long list of journalists killed in Gaza, victims of an Israeli strike that hit their press car in the Al-Shati camp while they were reporting.
The need to protect journalists in Palestine has never been more urgent!

.@Hind_Gaza reporting on the killing of her colleagues at Al Jazeera is so brutal to watch. The deafening silence among journalist organizations around the world is shameful.
Israel’s maniacal massacre of the messenger in Gaza has happened because of people’s silence.

This took months: Israeli intelligence surveilled top ICC officials, human rights groups, and Palestinian victims whose testimonies were sent to the court, with Netanyahu 'obsessed' with the secret war. With @harryfoxdavies, @mck_beth and Meron Rapoport
