This part of Mazen's story - that Dutch authorities treated his advocacy as "vacations" (not "proper" work), which contributed to a situation in which he was eventually evicted - is beyond shameful, it is complicit. W/o this pressure, he might have lived to see a free Syria.

NOVO! Vabimo na #MetinČaj 284: @BarbaraSurk – Kje smo leto dni po napadu Hamasa na Izrael metinalista.si/284-barbara-su… Ob prvi obletnici napada Hamasa na Izrael se pogovarjamo o tem, kje smo danes: kdo je varnejši, kakšno vlogo igrajo velesile, kakšna so ozadja tega spopada in kako daleč segajo njegove korenine. Razpravljamo tudi o tem, kaj počne Evropska unija, ali lahko pričakujemo spremembe po ameriških volitvah in kakšna je odgovornost palestinskih voditeljev. Barbara nam zaupa tudi več o svojem najnovejšem projektu – knjigi esejev iz Palestine. Klepetali smo skoraj dve uri.

The IOC repeatedly declared her and Lin qualified to participate in the Olympics, and it has decried the murky testing standards and untransparent governance of the IBA, which was banished entirely from the Olympics last year in an unprecedented punishment for a governing body.

“Because after the media frenzy and after the victory, there was a mix of joy and at the same time, I was greatly affected, because honestly, it wasn’t an easy thing to go through at all. It was something that harms human dignity.” apnews.com/article/7b1719…

She was overcome with emotion after it was over. She sat down for a moment after she was declared the winner. She then got up, bent down in the center of the ring and pretended to scribble on the mat. She pumped her fists and wiped tears from her face. apnews.com/article/d4ed49…
