Hesam Alaedin, father to two girls, has been tortured to death by the islamic regime. His crime was “using the global internet” #حسام_علاالدین 🕊️🖤

Le mardi 28 avril 2026, l’état de santé de Vahid Chavaran, prisonnier politique exilé à la prison de Zahedan, s’est aggravé en raison d’un refus continu de soins médicaux. Ce prisonnier politique, qui purge sa peine d’exil à Zahedan depuis avril de l’année précédente, serait selon des sources informées en danger sérieux de perdre la vue Cependant, les autorités pénitentiaires ont jusqu’à présent refusé de le transférer à l’hôpital. Parallèlement, l’interdiction de visites familiales exerce une pression supplémentaire sur ce prisonnier politique #Iran #droithumain

I'm very pleased to have accepted an invitation to speak at the Isle of Wight Literary Festival on Saturday October 10. Skeletal details are on my website: michaelgray.net It will be my first time on the island since, er, 1969...

این پیامی از ناصر بکرزاده پس از تأیید حکم اعدامشه پیامی که ممکنه آخرین پیامش باشه. بیشتر مردم هرگز نمی‌فهمند شنیدن اینکه به اعدام محکوم شده‌اید چه معنایی دارد. این چیزی است که هیچ‌کس نمی‌ فهمد. برای #عرفان_کیانی کاری نتونستیم انجام بدیم صدای #ناصر_بکرزاده باشیم.

President Trump, I hope that in your plans—where you wait, where you still hope for reform—you don’t forget the people of Iran. He is only 21. A karate champion. The regime is preparing to hang him. #SasanAzadvar @POTUS

A solidarity vigil was held in Italy in support of Doctor Hossam Abu Safiya, who has been sentenced to life imprisonment in Israeli occupation detention camps, where he is being held under inhumane conditions.

🚨 URGENT DISAPPEARED ATHLETE IN DANGER Today we end this series with Panah Movahedi, but her fight for survival is far from over. Panah, a 24‑year‑old athlete, vanished in Tehran on January 9th. For months, her family has lived with silence, fear, and zero answers. Even as reports of halted executions offer a small glimmer of hope, Panah’s fate remains completely unknown and that uncertainty is its own danger. Silence is where prisoners disappear. Pressure is what keeps them alive. We must keep her name loud, visible, and impossible to ignore until she is found, safe, and free. Do not let Panah fade into the shadows. Her life depends on being seen. #IranMassacre‌ #PanahMovahedi @FoxNews @POTUS @UN @WhiteHouse @UN_Women

BE HIS VOICE BEFORE IT’S TOO LATE. HIS LIFE IS IN DANGER.

BREAKING: The suspect is being treated by Hatzola paramedics. He just tried to cut the throats of two Jews people. Remember last month when the internet said Hatzola only treats jews? Well they’re currently treating a man who attempted to stab jews.

HE HAS BEEN SENTENCED TO DEATH! Be his voice before it’s too late. HE IS ONLY 21 Sasan Azadvar has been transferred to solitary confinement & waiting for his execution. He is from Isfahan & a Karate champion @POTUS @marklevinshow @FoxNews @nytimes #KingRezaPahlavi‌ForIran

💔 A cry from the heart of the wife of detained doctor Hossam Abu Safiya: “Save my husband before we lose him!” The doctor of humanity his only “crime” was saving lives… and today, he needs the world to save him. #SaveTheDoctors #FreeDrHossamAbuSafiya

I’m posting these Violets on their own because they are so beautiful, ‘Violets in a Glass Tumbler’ Paul de Longpre French American (1855-1911) Accurately detailed and delicate Watercolours are what he was known for.

Education is important, but Ancient English Woodland is importanter

Absolutely, truly impeccable. Kudos to the official who came up with this idea, and found it. I honestly doubt that a gift given by one head of state has ever so genuinely delighted another. It won't look out of place on the mantelpiece of the Oval Office.

King Charles III is totally rooting for Ukraine in the US Congress! Thank you, Your Majesty, for your strong and unwavering support! 🇬🇧 🤝 🇺🇦

THEY BLACKLISTED THE ENGINEER BEFORE THE BODY WAS COLD Hazar Denli is a chassis engineer. His job was to make sure cars don't kill people. He was very good at it. Working for Tata Technologies (@TataTech), he led the engineering team on VinFast's suspension and chassis systems. During testing he found the front strut-to-knuckle connection was loosening. Suspension parts were snapping off after 15,000 miles. They were supposed to last 93,000. He told management. Nothing happened. VinFast had a Nasdaq IPO coming and didn't want to delay production. So Denli resigned and moved to a new job at Jaguar Land Rover (@JLR_News). Then in April 2024, a family of four died in California when their VinFast VF8 lost control, veered off the road and caught fire. Denli posted on Reddit. He said he wouldn't get into a VinFast himself. He said he wouldn't let his family near one. VinFast tracked down the anonymous post. Tata Technologies HR director Patrick Flood then contacted JLR HR director Dave Williams and asked for Denli to be dismissed. The concern, in Flood's words: if he's done this now, he could do the same at JLR. Denli was fired the same day. Then blacklisted on industry recruitment platform Magnit so his future job applications would be auto-rejected. @BBCNews obtained the internal emails proving all of it. The NHTSA has since launched an investigation into the VinFast VF8. There are now 28 safety complaints on file. Denli has filed disclosures with the SEC and NHTSA. He is taking JLR to an employment tribunal. A family is dead. An engineer tried to stop it. He lost his job, his career platform access and his industry future. The companies involved declined to comment. Nobody went to prison. Nobody recalled anything. Everyone kept their jobs except the one man doing his. Sources: @WB_UK @BBCNews @cleantechnica @carscoops
