This case & the verdict are a really bad sign of the state of things in the US.
Tis fucked.
We have a verdict and we are heartbroken at the results.
This is only the beginning. We will continue to fight the remaining charges until every defendant is home.
A loudhailer announcement in Teknaf warns Rohingya not to sell food rations.
It claims photos have been taken of those trading food & that anyone caught may lose their assistance.
Refugees are denied the right to work & threatened for trying to survive.

In Hong Kong the court ruled that the case against Lee Cheuk-yan & Chow Hang-tung would continue as it decided that the prosecution had established a prima facie case...

REPRESSION, PRISON, EXILE — STILL THEY FIGHT.
Khaing Zar Aung, one of #Myanmar’s leading trade union voices, raises her voice for workers and democracy despite being forced into exile.
🗣️ "We are in fight not just for our rights and freedoms, but for the essence of democracy"
Every aviation fuel shipment that reaches the Myanmar military enables its warplanes to terrorise Myanmar people from the skies.
❌ These operations can be stopped through coordinated action to cut off the junta's jet fuel supply chain.
✊🏽 Governments must act to end this bloody trade!
On #IWD2026, Myanmar women mobilized through protests & campaigns for justice & equality.
5 yrs after the coup attempt, they still face military violence—yet their courage remains unbroken.
Intl community must move beyond words to support accountability.

Outside the Israeli embassy in Bangkok today.
Applying this policy to people already in the UK is particuarly self defeating as they can… just claim asylum anyway. In fact, if arguably forces some to do so who might not have otherwise because they had an alternative legal route available. giftarticle.ft.com/giftarticle/...
Absolutely horrific.
Canada’s massive border bill, C12, has been adopted after third reading at Senate.
C-12 will become the country's largest machinery of deportation: deporting refugees without hearings, retroactive bars, and mass status cancellation.
A mirror of anti-migrant ICE violence.
The Karen National Liberation Army (KNLA) and its allied People’s Defence Force seized the regime’s Winwa outpost on Wednesday after four days of fighting in Thayetchaung Township, the Karen National Union announced on Thursday. english.dvb.no/karen-nation... #WhatshappeninginMyanmar
⚠️ Update: #Iran's wartime internet blackout has entered its 14th day with connectivity still at 1% of ordinary levels after 312 hours.
As authentic voices are silenced and civilians are left without vital updates, a steady flow of regime-approved content fills the void.
STATEMENT 1/
The Home Secretary has banned the annual pro-Palestine Al Quds Day march.
This was done at the request of the Met Police.
This is the first time these powers have been used for over a decade.

2/ It is an indication of the growing state of repression that now exists in Britain that this decision has suddenly been made now, with such a poor set of justifications.
This ban is the foretaste for ministers seeking to ban more marches.
Not sure I can face watching 6 hours of him being questioned... the clip was infuriating.
#Myanmar youth—inclu. women & minors—targeted for forced conscription are used as porters & human shields. Many face the threat of arbitrary killing even before deployment.
Urgent intl action is needed to stop junta's terror campaign against youths.🚨

Nearly two dozen other civilians were also injured in the attacks, which were carried out over a period of three consecutive days

How does Freedom of Expression vary across Myanmar?
From the Federal Democracy Charter to regional administrations in Sagaing and Mandalay, the "On-Ground Protection" for rights remains critically low.

Appreciate you.
The clue was in the alt text all along 😉
The other case Phromsorn Viradhammajari is fighting is this one 👇
Thailand Appeals court upholds lese majeste conviction against Phromsorn Viradhammajari. Charge is related to a protest demanding the release of another protester. Supreme Court denies bail pending appeal (to it).
/sigh
He had just got bail in a separate case too.

You've done a really solid job of it, as someone who struggled to find a good starting point, this defo seems like it meets that need.
Will be recommending it on the occasions that I get asked for a primer.
I know this thread has been going awhile but I wanted to get up the footage of the goslings as they fell asleep on the road. SO SLEEPY!!!! 🥰 🪶 🐣
