As of today, April 7, 2026, groups tracking Cuba’s estimated 1200+ political prisoners (most jailed since the July 2021 protests) report no releases from the pardon announced by Havana on April 2, 2026. The @ICRC hasn't inspected Cuban prisons since 1989. change.org/FreeAllPolitic…

We are deeply concerned by continued reports from #Iran of escalating repression against those arbitrarily detained. According to @IranRights_org, at least 9 political prisoners were executed by the regime last week. Hundreds more remain behind bars, with new arrests ongoing. We call on Iranian authorities to cease this brutal crackdown, and on the international community to press Tehran to uphold the rights and wellbeing of all detainees. #FreeThemAll

🔴 The Judiciary’s Media Center announced that the death sentences of #MohammadAminBiglari and #ShahinVahedparast, two imprisoned protesters linked to the January 2026 protests in Tehran, were carried out this morning following confirmation by the Supreme Court. The Judiciary alleged that the two individuals played a role in "attacking a classified military site, destroying and setting it on fire, and attempting to gain access to the armory." 🔸The case of these prisoners was presided over by Judge Abolghasem Salavati in Branch 15 of the Tehran Revolutionary Court, where the death sentences were issued on February 7, 2026. Mohammad Amin Biglari’s lawyer had previously objected to serious ambiguities regarding the "confessions" attributed to his client, calling them into question. This case was initiated following a fire at a Basij base in eastern Tehran. As several other defendants in the same case are being moved to solitary confinement, concerns over the fate of the remaining convicts continue to grow. 🔸With the execution of these two protesters, the Islamic Republic has executed at least nine political prisoners this week alone.

There are moments when words fail and my hands feel too small against the weight of the world, so I press them together in prayer. I turn to God, Father almighty, for divine intervention, that He whispers into the ears of all who hold power in the U.S., Iran, and Israel to protect millions of innocent lives at risk. Amen

The brave Iranian people have risked everything to reclaim their country from the Islamic Republic. To threaten the destruction of their civilization is not only illegal and inhumane—it empowers the regime, reinforces its propaganda, and betrays a people who have long been America’s natural allies.

Earthset. The Artemis II crew captured this view of an Earthset on April 6, 2026, as they flew around the Moon. The image is reminiscent of the iconic Earthrise image taken by astronaut Bill Anders 58 years earlier as the Apollo 8 crew flew around the Moon.

We thank the US Embassy in Cuba for supporting the country’s independent artistic community and echo their call for the immediate and unconditional release of artists Luis Manuel Otero Alcántara and Maykel Castillo Pérez, who were unjustly imprisoned for exercising their right to freedom of expression. #FreeThemAll
Embajada de los Estados Unidos en Cuba@USEmbCuba

Fue un placer visitar a los artistas Ilse Antón Rodríguez y Rafael Pérez Alonso en su galería "Lavandería.” Hablamos sobre el importante papel de la comunidad artística independiente en la vida de un pais y sobre todo lo vital que es la libertad de expresión y pensamiento. De hecho por parte de @USEmbCuba reiteramos el llamado de que se liberen a Luis Manuel Otero Alcántara y Maykel Osorbo, artistas injustamente encarcelados. #MSI #Todos

HRF condemns the assassination of Guinea-Bissau pro-democracy activist Vigário Luís Balanta and joins @UNHumanRights in calling for an independent international investigation. HRF condemns the spate of brutal extrajudicial attacks on critics of Guinea-Bissau's military regime that have taken place in recent months. The impunity that has followed the attacks points to state-aligned intimidation to silence dissent.

Under international humanitarian law, attacks on objects “indispensable to the survival of the civilian population” are prohibited and may constitute war crimes. The law also stipulates that collateral civilian harm from strikes not be "excessive in relation to the concrete and direct military advantage anticipated." The destruction of power plants could lead to widespread blackouts and impact hospitals, water treatment facilities and food supply chains. Agnes Callamard, secretary general of Amnesty International says: "Iranian Civilians will be the first to suffer from the destruction of power plants and bridges. No heat, no electricity, no water, no capacity to move or to flee, and all that it means for their right to life,” time.com/article/2026/0… #Iran #War

This is exactly the kind of ruthless behavior I’ve been talking about: a regime that shows no regard for human life, willing to put children and ordinary citizens directly in harm’s way to serve its own interests. Iranian state TV shows the Deputy Minister of Youth Affairs, Alireza Rahimi calling on students, artists, and athletes, people of all political stripes to form human chains tomorrow around power plants. This is being framed as a protest against Trump’s threats to target critical infrastructure. The regime is openly encouraging civilians , including children, to place themselves in danger as human shields! Deliberately putting children in harm’s way is not new. They have been recruiting children for years. During the Iran–Iraq War, the regime sent children to the front lines, giving them symbolic “keys to paradise” and telling them martyrdom would bring reward. Instead of safeguarding its people, this regime has repeatedly treated them as expendable tools to be used whenever it suits its own survival.

Although the past 20 years were marked by many significant events, four common factors drove the largest declines in freedom: armed conflicts, coups, erosion of democratic institutions, and crackdowns on rights by authoritarian leaders.

America imposes sanctions for corruption and human rights abuses. I’ve always found it strange we don’t have a sanctions program targeting environmental harm. Chinese fishing armadas, Russian mercenaries, and cartel miners are ravaging irreplaceable habitats. And the profits fund activities that directly threaten our national security.

➡Amnistía Internacional @AmnistiaOnline pidió a las autoridades cubanas la libertad inmediata e incondicional de varias personas detenidas por motivos políticos en la isla. 🔴El pronunciamiento ocurre tras el reciente anuncio de un indulto por parte del régimen cubano, que ha sido cuestionado por organizaciones y sectores de la sociedad civil por excluir a presos políticos. 🔗Más detalles aquí: wxyz.page/yZD8Z

This is one of the oldest churches in Kherson, built in 1780 by Greek settlers. Targeted by terrorist country Russia during time when all catholic and protestant Christians celebrate Easter and we Christians in Ukraine start our holly week leading towards our eastern tradition Easter on Apr 12. We pray for our brothers and sisters in Kherson, city that suffers from daily attacks from russian aggressors. "The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it." John 1:5 Russia must loose and all be held responsible for their crimes!
