Journalist Ehab Diab was detained in Gaza in late 2023 by Israeli soldiers & effectively disappeared. His family's inquiries went unanswered until, following months of work & demands by Gisha, the state admitted he was “being held as a corpse.” READ: wired.com/story/hassan-t…

⚠️ On 20 December 2025, Egyptian national and Danish resident Hassan El Sayed was arrested upon his arrival at Cairo International Airport. National Security Agency officials questioned him about his role in the movie The Eagles of the Republic, where he appeared very briefly as a priest. Following his arrest, he was taken before a prosecutor, who ordered his pretrial detention pending investigations into the charge of “joining a terrorist group while being aware of its objectives”. Since then, his pretrial detention in case No. 4529 of the Supreme State Security Prosecution (SSSP) has been renewed. Call on EgyptianPPO to immediately release Hassan El Sayed and drop all charges against him as he is detained solely for the peaceful exercise of his human rights. The Egyptian authorities must allow him to safely reunite with his family in Denmark: amn.st/6017B6wuYL #FreeHassanElSayed

Exclusive: Judges clear ICC’s Karim Khan over sexual misconduct claims. The unanimous conclusion of the judges is that the findings of the report “do not establish any misconduct or breach of duty.” middleeasteye.net/news/judges-cl…

From Sde Teiman, the truth about Israel’s military justice system has been set free By dropping all charges against the soldiers filmed abusing a Palestinian detainee, Israel has abandoned the whole masquerade of accountability. By @sfardm. @mekomit 972mag.com/sde-teiman-isr…

"Shameful." In an extraordinary interview, Pentagon whistleblower @WesJBryant sounds the alarm about what he calls a lack of concern for civilian casualties by the US in Iran. He was part of a Pentagon unit tasked with mitigating civilian harm, but it was gutted last year in government cuts. Worth watching in full.

Across Lebanon, daily life has been replaced by uncertainty and survival. Families are displaced, services are strained, and the risk is constant. Yet even in these conditions, medical and humanitarian workers continue to save lives. Civilians must be protected, and the human cost of the conflict cannot be ignored.

As per Art 127(1), Hungary’s withdrawal from the Rome Statute is effective on June 2026. Until then, like any other State Party, Hungary has the duty to arrest all fugitives from the Court. If it does not, the Court can find a non-cooperation breach and ask the ASP to take action
Human Rights Watch@hrw

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is expected to travel to Hungary, an ICC member country, this weekend. If he visits, Hungary should arrest Netanyahu, who is wanted by the ICC to answer charges of crimes against humanity and war crimes in Gaza. hrw.org/news/2026/03/2…

Bernie Sanders: “To give another 20K bombs to a country which committed genocide in Gaza happens to be among many other things, forget the moral issue, happens to be in violation of American law. You don’t sell arms to countries that violate international law and human rights. Clearly Israel has done that. Why anybody in their right minds would want to continue funding Israel is beyond me”

تستخدم إسرائيل نفس الأسلوب المميت الذي استخدمته في لبنان عام 2024 لقتل العشرات من العاملين في مجال الصحة وتدمير خدمات الرعاية الصحية. يخاطر العاملون الصحيون بحياتهم لإنقاذ الآخرين. وبموجب القانون الدولي الإنساني، فإن المستشفيات والمرافق الطبية وسيارات الإسعاف محمية ولا يجوز التعامل معها كأهداف. ولا تسقط عنها الحماية بمجرد توجيه ادعاءات غير مثبتة بأنها تستخدم لأغراض عسكرية. كما لا يجوز استهداف الأطباء والممرضين والمسعفين على أساس انتمائهم إلى حزب سياسي يمتلك جناحاً عسكرياً، وقد ترقى مهاجمتهم إلى جرائم حرب. حماية القطاع الصحي ليست خياراً — إنها قاعدة مُلزِمة من قواعد الحرب.

The judges wrote that Mariam Dagga’s work “stands as a powerful testament to the role of journalism in bearing witness to suffering and truth.” “Dagga continued reporting under difficult conditions until she was killed in August in an Israeli strike.”

By refusing to take action against clubs based in Israeli settlements, FIFA has failed to enforce its own rules and is blatantly flouting international law. FIFA had a clear opportunity to stand up for Palestinians’ rights and international law – with this decision it has shamefully chosen to abandon both. amn.st/6014B6X5U0

This brutal attack was calculated, not an act of individual sadism. Impossible that an incident involving vehicles arriving at 1am, people moving livestock on foot, by truck, went unnoticed by army surveillance cameras. I’m sure perpetrators are known. nytimes.com/2026/03/18/wor…

UN member states must take urgently call on Iranian authorities to immediately halt all executions. Since the 2022 #WomanLifeFreedom uprising, Iranian authorities have embarked on an execution spree killing thousands, with the pace of accelerating following the 12-day war in 2025

A Revolutionary Court sentenced Kourosh Keyvani to death following a grossly unfair trial on accusations related to espionage for Israel following his arrest last June during the 12-day war between Israel and Iran, according to state-affiliated media.

Iran's authorities are carrying out arbitrary executions to instil fear among an already traumatized population, under bombardment from Israel & the US, cut off from the world due to authorities' deliberate internet shutdown since 28 Feb & reeling from the Jan protest massacres
