PUCL demands:
immediate halt to all tree felling and mining-related activities until all legal proceedings in the High Court and NGT are exhausted judicial inquiry into illegal police action and use of force against unarmed civilians (contd below)

Chhattisgarh government has completely surrendered to corporate pressures, allowing gross violations of due process and forest governance to go unchecked. What is being witnessed in Raigarh is not development – ​​it is state-sponsored land grab and environmental destruction

~10 people have been arbitrarily detained: Rinchin, activist and petitioner in ongoing legal cases; Aksh Nayak, Shyam Rathia, Kanhai Patel, Punj Bihari, Jagmati Bhagat, Raismati Sidar and Madhuri Mahant.

We've come together to stand up to racism before and we will do so again. The violence and the hatred must stop.

While immigration has gradually increased in NI over the last decade, crime rates have been falling, except for racially motivated hate crime, now higher than sectarian hate crime.

The racist violence in Northern Ireland is outrageous.

Families and communities are in the midst of a racist pogrom led by a hateful few.

This violence is fuelled by racist hatred. It is stoked by social media algorithms profiting from hate, and amplified by reckless politicians.

The communities of Cañaverales, in San Juan del Cesar, La Guajira, reject the proposals to impose an open-pit coal mine on their territory. On the 14th of June, they will be raising their voices at the Environmental Public Hearing and - once again - saying NO to the mine.

In an agriculturally important area of dry tropical forest in Colombia, Better Coal Company is trying to open another coal mine.

📣Cañaverales, the breadbasket of La Guajira, says NO to mining!

"Gaza is in front of me. I am a Jew, an American, a human being who was once a child."

Our Advisory Board member, Linda Hess, pens a powerful piece for Lion's Roar about how her identity as a Buddhist and a Jew compels her to stand up for Gaza:

Delhi University Vice Chancellor Says Manusmriti Removed From Curriculum, Won't Teach in Future Earlier, the objective of the course stated that “ancient Indian society, in terms of whole and its parts, has been depicted in the texts compiled in Sanskrit known as Dharmashastra.”

Manusmriti no longer in (new) curriculum. wonder why!
Too many were getting to know the true retrograde face of Hindutva? Profs were doing critical reading and students realised how sexist and casteist it really is? 🤔🤔🤔🤔

What a shame!
India which was among the first non-Arab countries to recognise Palestine. India which welcomed Yassar Arafat for NAM conference. India which used to set an example.

Revolutions happen when the army refuses to obey orders. From the French revolution to the Indian naval mutiny.
Will American soldiers realise who they actually are?
Will 2nd class Sephardim recognise their true allies?
Will poor & non-brahmin Hindus see who the true enemy is?

Macron fights fascism by dissolving anti-fascist groups.

The carbon footprint of the first 15 months of Israel's genocide will be greater than the annual emissions of 100 countries.
