Made up of organizations spanning five continents, the formation of this coalition was compelled by the need to connect the struggles of political and social prisoners around the world, especially in the context of uprisings against anti-Black violence.

As an Abolitionist publication, stories focused on the prison industrial complex—as well as all carceral social systems that discipline us into policing ourselves and one another—remain Scalawag's foremost publishing priority.

Layan a 25 ans. Elle vient d’être libérée après avoir passé 8 mois dans les prisons de l’occupation israélienne, sans charges ni procès sous le régime de la détention administrative.
Layan Nasser is free, having served her third imprisonment.
That smile, though!

Pro-Palestinian demonstration in the heart of Jerusalem
(brutally suppressed by Israeli police of course)
May 15
Jerusalem Day every year is a day of violent pogroms against Palestinians in the Old City.
This time was no exception. Israeli police kicked journalists and activists from the city, to allow the far-right youth to roam free.

“ I have never requested a pardon, nor will I ever do so. Freedom is a stolen right. We do not beg for what has been taken from us; we fight to reclaim it.”
AmirHossein Moradi and Ali Younesi, in two separate letters from Evin and Ghezel Hesar Prisons, have stated that they do not accept any "pardon" from the Iranian regime. Both Sharif University students, they have been imprisoned for the past six years and one month. Here are the messages they issued a few days ago:
#Amirhossein_Moradi from Evin Prions:
The smiling faces of my dearest friends (Vahid, Pouya, Babak, Mohammad, Shahrokh, and Abolhassan) at the moment of their separation and transfer from Evin to Ghezel Hesar Prison, where they refused to submit in humiliation to your vile regime until their very last breath, remain before my eyes. I also think of their mothers and fathers.
As I stated explicitly in September 2024, I repeat once again: I neither asked for nor desire your disgraceful pardon. In response to the bloody massacres of January and the recent criminal executions, it is unquestionably we, the oppressed people of Iran, who stand in the position to forgive you. However, know this with certainty: we neither forgive nor forget.
Until the people of Iran are freed from your tyranny, I will not even think of my own release from captivity, nor will I beg it from you.
#Ali_Younesi from Evin Prison:
On Monday, May 11, 2026, I was handed a notice dated February 23, 2026, under the title of the “22 Bahman Amnesty,” stating that the remainder of my prison sentence (7 months) had been pardoned.
First: I have never requested a pardon, nor will I ever do so. Freedom is a stolen right. We do not beg for what has been taken from us; we fight to reclaim it.
Second: I have role models: six proud cellmates who were sent to the gallows. Every day and every moment, their memory lives within me and their voices echo in my ears. They did not bargain for their lives; shame on me if I bargain for my freedom.
Third: In his defense statement, Vahid Bani Amerian said: “Is it we who must defend ourselves, or you?” I too ask: “Is it we who should forgive, or you?”
Forgiveness and pardon belong, more than anyone else, to the grieving mothers and fathers. Therefore, to you grieving mothers and fathers: I hope you will forgive any shortcomings on my part, for you alone are those from whom I seek forgiveness. As for all the suffering, torture, and imprisonment endured until now, and whatever imprisonment, exile, and hardship still remain, they are nothing but duty.
It is through the strength of your children’s sacrifice that we continue to fight, and we will remain steadfast in this struggle. Fighting for the freedom of the people of Iran is not a source of regret or suffering, but the greatest source of honor.

38th Anniversary of the Chemical Bombing of “Botê”
23 Komala Members and Peshmergas Killed
Today, May 15, marks the 38th anniversary of the chemical bombing of the “Botê” area near the city of Ranya in the Kurdistan Region.
The attack was carried out by the Iraqi Ba’ath army in 1988 against Komala bases and resulted in the deaths of 23 members and Peshmergas of the organization.
According to available accounts, the Iraqi government at the time was unhappy with Komala’s relations and cooperation with Kurdish political parties in Iraqi Kurdistan, as well as the location of its bases near Kurdish forces in the region. Reports say Iraqi authorities had issued several warnings before the attack. Eventually, the Iraqi army targeted Komala positions in the mountainous Botê area using chemical weapons.
At that time, Botê was the location of Komala’s central bases and Battalion 24 of Mahabad. The attack is considered one of the documented cases of chemical weapons being used against Kurdish political and military forces during the Iran-Iraq war.
The names of those killed in the attack are:
1- Maryam Majnoun (Saadat)
2- Ahmad Ahmadi
3- Wafa Nutinchi
4- Saeed Mohammadi
5- Nader Ghazizadeh
6- Naseh Mardoukh
7- Esmail Mostafazadeh
8- Bayezid Bayaz
9- Jalal Mohammadi (Penchwini)
10- Hamed Modarresi

Just a brief reminder that Kim Kardashian personally funds free shopping days for IOF wives and opened 15 SKIMS stores in Israel occupied Palestine, last year. And cause I'm petty, used AI LLM programs like OpenAI to cheat on law tests and still failed.
From Bridgerton showrunner Chris Van Dusen and executive producers Emma Roberts and Kim Kardashian comes the new series CALABASAS.
Set at an elite private school in the country’s most exclusive town, the headmaster’s ambitious daughter is destined to have it all – until she’s swept into a forbidden romance with the one boy determined to burn down her glittering world instead of playing by its rules.
Inspired by the book If You Lived Here You’d Be Famous by Now: True Stories from Calabasas.

Yesterday, a lawyer on our behalf visited four physicians from Gaza currently detained at Ktzi’ot Prison: Dr. Hussam Abu Safiya, Dr. Muhammad Ubaid, Dr. Murad Alkuka, and Dr. Akram Abu Odeh. All four are being held without charge.
All four physicians reported that there has been no improvement in either the quality or quantity of the inadequate food provided in prison. One physician reported losing 35 kilograms (77 pounds) over the past two years.
In recent months, the physicians have also reported being brought before court hearings during which their detention was extended indefinitely, despite no charges being filed against them. Two described hearings lasting only a few minutes and taking place without legal representation. They further stated that prison guards confiscate their mattresses every morning and return them only in the evening, forcing them to sit all day on the floor or on metal bed frames.
Two of the physicians said they need glasses after prison guards confiscated their own, yet repeated requests for replacements have been ignored. Two others reported medical issues that remain untreated. The physicians also described recurring outbreaks of skin diseases among the prison population.
Hygiene conditions remain dire. They are held in severe overcrowding, provided with only a single set of clothing that they are not able to wash, and denied access to cleaning supplies.
Following our petition to the High Court of Justice demanding the physicians’ release from unlawful detention, the state said it would submit its response within two weeks. PHRI calls for the immediate withdrawal of the arrest warrants against these physicians, and urges local and international organizations to take action to secure their release, so they may return home and resume their life-saving work.

you are spreading separatism rhetoric that the islamic regime has implanted into your heads. you believe that kurds resisting against the regime will cause more chaos and destabilize your country. this is the same propaganda that has been used to justify the massacre and bombing of our people.
What people are opposing is violent separatism and armed conflict against Iran’s territorial integrity, not Kurdish existence, Kurdish rights or Kurdish people. You deliberately erase that distinction because it helps you emotionally manipulate the conversation. 3
