My story for @noosphereapp.
Noosphere@noosphereapp
Since May 1, police have encircled 1,000 rural workers on lands designated for the Maria da Glória agrarian reform settlement project by Brazil’s federal land reform agency. The situation is tense, with a risk of violence and “serious human rights violations,” according to federal prosecutors. This video shows the moments before the arrest of three members of the Landless Workers’ Movement (MST) on Tuesday, May 5, as they traveled in a convoy to deliver supplies to the area where rural workers are encamped.

I barely recognized the journalist Ali al-Samoudi when I saw him this week. He had been imprisoned by Israel — without charge and without a trial — for a year, during which time he lost half his body weight. He is one of 105 Palestinian journalists who have been imprisoned by Israel since October 7, 2023 — most without charge, according to @pressfreedom.

WILD: After Pegasus scandal @nayibbukele's 🇸🇻El Salvador went hunting for...more spyware.
Destination: 🇷🇴#Romania
And "better than Pegasus" spyware delivered by clicks or ads for $10.9 million.
Cut-out: A vendor to El Salvador's election system that also took $1.3m in US Embassy contracts.
Shell Companies: Dubai shell company & Israeli broker tied to sanctioned #Intellexa (they make Predator)
Price was too steep, but sources said officials were still pursuing the spyware into 2025.
Big Picture: seems to me like #ElSalvador's conclusion after getting caught abusing Pegasus was: time to upgrade.
I wonder who actually makes this unnamed spyware?
🇪🇺EU & Romanian authorities should absolutely dig into what is going on here.

So much admiration for journalists in Lebanon, trying to cover the news and sometimes dying for it. Journalists should never be targets.
Ali Hashem علي هاشم@Alihashem
Our colleague Amal Khalil, a brave reporter who has been covering Israeli attacks on Lebanon for the past years was targeted along another colleague Zeinab Faraj while doing their job in south Lebanon. Emergency services succeeded in rescuing Zeinab with injuries along with two casualties. Amal is still under rubble, the Red Cross tried to get closer, yet another Israeli attack pushed them back.

Looks like @IDF deliberately killed yet another journalist in #Lebanon. Yet another deliberate Israeli violation of international humanitarian law...

The US military reportedly committed a "double tap" strike in Iran. The "two strikes had hit the bridge around an hour apart, the second arriving while emergency responders were assisting the wounded," even though rescue workers are protected civilians. trib.al/KRzSayT

Solid frontline reporting by @JDiamond1 @CNN crew acknowledging as well that their story about IDF abuses got legs because they’re an American crew. No matter their origin, good journalists bring accountability to abusers. #pressfreedom
Jeremy Diamond@JDiamond1
The IDF took what appears to be unprecedented action against the battalion involved in my team's assault & detention. In many ways, that's due to our position as US journalists. In too many cases involving Palestinian journalists & civilians, we've seen a lack of accountability.
