A Turkish court effectively ousted the main opposition leader, Ozgur Ozel, annulling the 2023 party congress that elected him chairman. The case was seen as a test of Turkey's shaky balance between democracy and autocracy reut.rs/4nIp7qp

Right now, on the streets of Munich and other cities, people are calling for support for freedom in Iran. We saw it. Ukraine does not share a border with Iran. We’ve never had a conflict of interest with the Iranian regime. But the Iranian Shahed drones they sold to Russia are killing our people and destroying our infrastructure. The Iranian regime has already done – and can still do – more harm than many other regimes could do in a century. And yet this regime still exists. And it hopes to survive everything – even this crisis. Today, the people of Iran expect from the world what we in Ukraine needed on February 24, when the Russian invasion began – unity, determination, and speed. Of course, speed. Speed in support. And regimes like the one in Iran must not be given time. When they have time, they only kill more. They must be stopped immediately. And this is exactly what should have happened with the Ayatollah – after all the wars his regime unleashed and all the lives it took – and with Putin as well: after the war in Georgia, after Syria, after 2014 and the occupation of Crimea.

Reports of a dramatic escalation in the use of deadly force by Iranian security forces have begun to trickle out of the country. Credible reports indicated that hundreds of protesters have been killed since the government cut off access to the internet. wapo.st/4qGYbrs

🚨URGENT: Islamic Republic Regime committed a massacre After more than 70 hours of near-total internet shutdown, Narges Foundation is receiving absolutely horrific reports of mass shooting of protesters by Islamic Republic forces that has resulted in at least, we emphasize, at least over two thousand protesters killed. According to reports Iran’s security forces are using lethal force against protesters nationwide. This is a sweeping crackdown unfolding under the cover of a digital blackout. Mass arrests are on going as families are seen gathered at centers full of dead bodies looking for the remains of their loved ones. The world needs to be pay close attention to what the regime in Iran just did. Thousands killed and injured. Thousands more rounded up in scale never seen before. Stand with people of Iran. #Iran #Iranprotest #FreeNarges #NargesMohammadi #InternetShutdown

Unless something dramatic changes, our calculations suggest that Vladimir Putin will be unable to win the war on the battlefield. The fact that he nevertheless continues to try suggests that he is out of ideas economist.com/interactive/eu…

Turkey is nearing a point of no return. Only last week, its government was still what political scientists call a competitive authoritarian regime. Now it is close to naked autocracy econ.st/4ixUaC6
