🚨 The humanitarian disaster continues to unfold inside Iran right now with tens of thousands already killed, hundreds of thousands with injuries, many life threatening. They are not victims of a natural disaster. It is a government trying to wipe out their own people for protesting against them. It is not an exaggeration to say that this is most of the country. I get asked ‘why is this not in the news now?’ The answer is stark: the government has shut down the internet. Even @elonmusk Starlink satellites have been jammed. So hear it from an Iranian simply trying to amplify faint voices coming out of Iran: worse is yet to come.

Iranian protesters:
“Death to the Islamic Republic!”
“This is the year of blood, Seyed Ali (Khamenei) will be toppled!”
“This homeland won’t be a homeland until the Mullahs are buried.”
U.S. Media & Analysts:
“Well, Jim, it seems they’re upset about the economy.”

#Venezuela: Cuando usted vea esta foto recuerde cuantos jóvenes fueron asesinados en manifestaciones por pedir y querer vivir en Libertad; cuando niños y niñas, jóvenes, mujeres y hombres, civiles y militares han sido secuestrados por fuerzas de seguridad, desaparecidos, detenidos arbitrariamente, Torturados y Agredidos Sexualmente, por Órdenes de este Tipo, si por Órdenes de Nicolás Maduro, quien asumió todas las funciones policiales además de ser el Comandante en Jefe de la FANB y Jefe del DGCIM Recuerden cuántos venezolanos han sido perseguidos Sistemáticamente, siin piedad, sus familias secuestradas y/o encarceladas, madres, hijas, hijos, abuelas, abuelos, torturados en centros clandestinos por ser familiar de un perseguido... Recuerden cuántos presos politicos han muerto en las cárceles inducido por una estructura Criminal Represiva Yo tengo 25 años recopilando Testimonios del HORROR.. y en los años que tiene mandando la Estructura Criminal encabezada por Nicolás Maduro, la evolución de los métodos de Torturas utilizados contra venezolanos y extranjeros han sido perversos, crueles, sádicos, con la intromisión de agentes extranjeros como los enviados por la dictadura cubana. La Tiranía Venezolana tiene una investigacion abierta ante la @IntlCrimCourt por Crímenes de Lesa Humanidad que han multiplicado desde Julio 2024 contra toda la población que votó contra ellos y que se han atrevido a denunciar y protestar Donde estaban todos aquellos que hoy hablan del Derecho Internacional que no los he oído pedir por los venezolanos torturados y perseguidos contundentemente? Donde estan las protestas mundiales por los seres humanos que en Venezuela han muerto y han sido víctimas de una Tiranía Cruel que los ha colgado, electrocutado, ahogado, violado, y que los ha ido asesinando poco a poco en sus campos de concentración? Yo quiero ver a los Altos Responsables, a Todos, ante la Justicia, para que rindan cuenta ante sus víctimas, sus familiares, sus amigos y eso va a llegar. Hoy es Nicolás Maduro y Cilia Flores Mañana les tocará el turno a Ministros, Fiscales, Jueces, Jefes de Organismos de Seguridad e Inteligencia, Ejecutores de órdenes, y todo aquél que conociendo como ciudadanos fueron víctimas de las más viles Torturas que la mente pueda imaginar, dio su firma cómplice para borrar la realidad. Venezuela necesita Justicia, y que la Estructura Criminal rinda cuentas. Ese tiempo llegará.... Ya su "Comandante en Jefe" está Preso.... Faltan los otros camaradas ...

A layered quote from fellow Venezuelan, Michel Hausman: “You can oppose Trump and still applaud the removal of Nicolás Maduro. You can hold two thoughts in your head at the same time. Trump is not the moral compass of the universe, and Maduro still belongs in prison.”
I’d like to add that I greatly appreciate the risks the US servicemen and women faced to successfully complete the extraction. They removed the head of the monster- now there’s the rest of the criminal structure to take care of. They all belong in jail.

@jeremycorbyn Your last two tweets about Iran were in June, as you decided that government forces shooting on protestors (after a year of executing 2000 of their fellow citizens) wasn't enough to get you away from your holiday nut roast.
English
The US has launched an unprovoked and illegal attack on Venezuela.
This is a brazen attempt to secure control over Venezuelan natural resources.
It is an act of war that puts the lives of millions of people at risk — and should be condemned by anyone who believes in sovereignty and international law.

@ZackPolanski Are you a politician or trying to get a few cheap laughs?

Spray paint a plane and they'll detain you without trial and call you a terrorist.
Kidnap the foreign head of state - and Keir Starmer will make it clear we've played no part in it but will wait for the scheduled press conference in a few hours before potentially condemning it.

Iranians continue to risk their lives to oppose one of the world’s most brutal regimes. Yet there are no mass marches for them in the West - perhaps because too many who shout loudest prefer Iran’s rulers to the brave people resisting them.

One year ago today, Hamas militias shot and killed a Palestinian critic of Hamas in Gaza — Ziyad Abu Hayya — right in front of his children, inside the tent where the family was living, after he appeared in a video pleading with the world to save Gaza from Hamas.
A full year has passed, and not a single human rights organization has documented Zyad’s story or spoken with his family. His name has been left in silence.
What his family wants is simple: justice for Ziyad. His killer has never been held accountable.
Over the past two years — and throughout 17 years of Hamas’s rule — they have tortured, killed, and terrorized countless Palestinians who dared to speak, criticize, or resist. Ziyad’s story isn’t an exception; it is part of a brutal, systematic pattern of silencing any Palestinian who dares to speak out.

@dpatrikarakos Europe will stay asleep - the question is will Europe wake up just before it’s too late or just after.
English
How many wake-up calls does Europe need?
Time to end its security reliance on Washington - and cast off its own psychological shackles.
Rearming isn’t “imperialist”; it’s responsible. And it’s the only way to stop imperialist aggressors.

The 28-point plan proposed by Wittkoff and Dmitriev appears to have been formulated in an amateurish manner, with many points being legally questionable, the wording vague and sloppy, and some points completely impossible. Putin and the Russian diplomatic corps will also have problems with many aspects of this plan due to its unprofessional nature, even if it is fundamentally in line with their interests. Some of the 28 points make sense—e.g., international control of the nuclear power plant in Zaporizhzhya and the division of electricity between occupied territories and free Ukraine. The military situation is not such that Ukraine would have to capitulate and simply accept this "plan." Putin has not even been able to achieve the capture of Pokrovsk, which he has been aiming for since summer 2024, before these plans were published. The fact that the US wants to shamelessly grab parts of Russian assets, funds to be paid by the Europeans, the Ukrainian energy sector, and financial profits from reconstruction with this "plan," and on top of that wants to be financially compensated for "security guarantees" that are nothing more than vague assurances, shows once again that Witkoff is completely unsuitable as a "mediator." Europeans should stand up straight, put their own proposals for peace in Europe on the table, and finally stand up for their own future with strength.

In Calamity Lammy’s last 24 hours he’s:
-refused to explain himself in Parliament as he feared ‘career suicide’
-refused to say how many prisoners have been let out mistakenly and how many are still at large
-created more confusion by getting the timeline of events wrong

They've cancelled their Theroux sponsorship over an interview that was unquestionably in the public interest. Please cancel them.

They thought they were going to get a dumb angry punk ranting. Instead they got articulate and considered responses to each question with facts to back it up when needed. Their hope to further vilify me couldn’t run, so they target Louis to make an example for sitting with me.

Amsterdam's City Council declared the same fans unwelcome after their actions in the city last year. Here's Channel 4 reporting on the matter.
But yeah, take any opportunity to throw in a sprinkling of "islamists" and "parallel-communities". That'll solve everything.
Shahrar Ali@ShahrarAli
Islamist MPs really throwing their weight around tonight - promoting sectarian politics without an iota of understanding of fundamental libertarian basis of our democracy. This is shocking & dangerous - symptomatic of harmful priorities held by parallel communities in our midst.

BREAKING: Since the ceasefire began, Hamas militias have unleashed a wave of arrests across Gaza, dozens seized, accused of being “collaborators” or members of anti-Hamas clans. They’re now publicly announcing that executions will soon take place.
After two years of relentless Israeli bombing, Gazans are now trapped under Hamas’s bullets and prisons.
Where are the human rights organizations now, the ones who claim to defend Palestinians, but fall silent when the killers are Hamas?

Wonderful to see this. When I recorded three concertos by excellent women composers in 2015 with @rmconductor & @BBCSSO , the Ambache Trust generously supported. This latest initiative will further a very noble aim. Thank you Diana Ambache & @RoyalPhilSoc!
