The #Belarus regime's so-called elections today fail to meet any democratic standards, resembling more a military operation against its own citizens, the constitution & common sense. I urge Belarusians & the international community to categorically reject this sham.

Navalny died standing up for his principles, in the country he loved, unafraid of the tyrant who killed him because he could never break him. Navalny may have been in prison, but he was a free man and that will live on in many, many people.

Everyday we ask our friends and colleagues in #Gaza if theyβre alive. A simple text. Are you still alive. Today the silence from Izzeddin Nawasra was heartbreaking - He was murdered in an airstrike on his home in the Maghazi refugee camp last night. Hereβs his story.

The SS told us in German that they needed some prisoners who knew, who were from a farm who knew how to feed pigs, and they would then come every day from the camp direct to that farm to look after the pigs. Obviously everybody wanted to get away

βοΈ No joke, but the UN is a increasingly a joke...
No joke: this Thursday, the Islamic Regime in Iran will become Chair of the U.N. Human Rights Council Social Forum.
Say NO to the U.N. legitimizing a regime that beats, blinds, tortures and rapes women for demanding their rights.

Turkey is now bombing Kobani, the town where the Kurds were surrounded by ISIS in 2014 while Turkey was watching from a hill top cheering their terrorist allies on.
ISIS failed to take Kobani, Turkey wants to finish the job.

Ballykilcavan brewery is just 2.5km from the site of the Electric Picnic (@EPfestival), but we are not allowed to serve our beers there. The festival claims to be sustainable, but despite our three national sustainability awards, we're still not allowed in. Here's why.
