As the War in Gaza Winds Down, the West Bank Is a Flash Point
If Trump wants peace, he must block Israel’s annexationist policies.

We demand the release of Gui Minhai on the 10th anniversary of his kidnapping
10 years ago, Swedish publisher Gui Minhai was kidnapped by Chinese agents in Thailand. For the past 5 years, there has been no news of his fate. The EU and Sweden must make it clear that any continued refusal to release Gui Minhai will have political consequences for their relations with Beijing.

Hungary is prepared to "respectfully welcome" Putin as an honored guest for talks with Trump, despite its legal obligation to arrest him under an ICC war crimes warrant.
Hungary signed the Rome Statute, which legally requires it to arrest Putin and hand him over to the International Criminal Court⤵️

MAGNUS FISKESJÖ: Regeringen låter Kina tvinga ned oss på knä
I dag är det tio år sedan den svenske medborgaren Gui Minhai fängslades i Kina. Magnus Fiskesjö skriver att utrikesministerns spel för gallerierna inte räcker för att få honom fri.
Regeringen låter Kina tvinga ned oss på knä

Min artikel i Expressen idag 17 okt 2025.
Tio år med Gui Minhai kidnappad & fängslad i Kina.
Och så nu den ytterligare nya tragedikomedin med Sveriges utrikesminister, lurad till Peking för att förödmjukas vid hovet där.

Oh look.
Chris Berry’s legal team actually tried to debunk his own claim that he met Cai Qi in July 2022.
Why would he do that? Maybe because it didn’t happen and he was just trying to impress Cash?

Jösses vilket skräp. Så varför tror ni Kina kidnappade fyra andra
bokhandlare i samma bokhandel, Gui Minhais kollegor, och stängde ner bokhandeln och sen hela Hong Kong.
Sluta upp att slänga ur er sånahär bottiga tramserier.

Idag är Sveriges utrikesminister i Kina för samtal. Hon bör kräva att Gui Minhai, som hållits i 10 år, frisläpps omedelbart. Mänskliga rättigheter sägs vara en hörnsten i svensk utrikespolitik, då måste de vara det även i dagens samtal.

"China says jailed Swedish publisher is Chinese citizen" -- Reuters owes it to the public to acknowledge that Sweden & the EU do NOT accept China's theft of Gui Minhai's citizenship -- which is simply another atrocious ruse played on us all, by China's cruel regime. www.reuters.com/world/china/...

Att Sveriges utrikesminister skulle vara i Kina på själva tioårsdagen av den kinesiska statens kidnappning av vår medborgare 17 okt 2015 kan väl bara betyda en av 2 saker: antingen en cynisk nonchalans, eller en hemlig plan att hon ska ha med sig Gui med på planet hem.

Infrastructure is political. We are waking up late.
Decommission the Chinese systems in Norway!
And in Sweden, re-nationalise the train systems we sold to China.
