World Without Prisons 🇵🇸

Made up of organizations spanning five continents, the formation of this coalition was compelled by the need to connect the struggles of political and social prisoners around the world, especially in the context of uprisings against anti-Black violence. worldwithoutprisons.org

Armored vehicles bought with tax dollars only show up to protect big businesses while the people fall under the bullets of the gangs. People have begun to protest the game of cat and mouse between the police, the gangs, the government and the foreign mercenaries. Their game keeps all of their pockets full while the real victims are forced to live in makeshift camps in the dirt under horrible conditions.

On this day in 1985, Philadelphia Police Department dropped a bomb onto a residential home occupied by the MOVE Organization. The Fire Department let the fire burn out of control, destroying 61 homes over two city blocks. 11 people died including 6 children THREAD

A clock painted on one of Gaza’s street walls caught my attention… its hands pointed to the time as if time itself here was pointing to the tragedy, waiting for freedom.

Cul-de-sac Plain: Displaced people demonstrate in Trois Mains to demand security Driven from their homes by armed gangs clashing in the Cul-de-Sac Plain, several hundred displaced people demonstrated on Tuesday, May 12, 2026, in Trois Mains, on the road to the airport. The demonstrators are demanding that the Haitian government restore security in the areas controlled by the armed gangs to facilitate their return to their neighborhoods. LES FACTEUR HAITI, May 12, 2026._ The streets of Trois Mains, on the Airport road, were occupied for several hours on Tuesday by a demonstration of families displaced from the Cul-de-Sac Plain Their protest movement aimed to denounce the gang abuses in the Cul-de-Sac Plain, which had forced them to flee their respective neighborhoods for three days, and to demand that the government restore security. According to the protesters, many people have died in the gang war that is spreading across several localities in the Cul-de-Sac Plain. They also mentioned several houses burned down by criminals from the "vicious dogs" gang, some with elderly people inside. On the other hand, victims of insecurity who are considering returning to their respective areas are relying on government authorities. They are asking Prime Minister Alix Didier Fils-Aimé to instruct the police and the Task Force to conduct operations in the neighborhoods under the control of gangs in order to dismantle them and reclaim these territories.

And they still insist they are going to hold elections under these conditions? This isn't about democratic choice but disenfranchisement of the votes of millions of Haitians INSIDE HAITI. Apparently, only the diaspora will be allowed to vote with peace of mind and security in the next elections.

Rojhelat, the Poorest Region in Iran According to data published by the Statistical Center of Iran, Iran’s misery index has reached 61.3 percent. Provinces in Rojhelat (Iranian Kurdistan) are at the top of the list. Kurdistan Province (Sanandaj/Sine) recorded the highest rate at 77 percent, making it the poorest province in the country. Kermanshah followed with 75 percent, while Lorestan recorded 74.4 percent, and Ilam ranked next. These provinces have long faced high unemployment and severe economic pressure. The misery index is calculated by combining inflation and unemployment rates, and its rise reflects growing poverty and declining purchasing power among citizens.

The recent wave of enforced disappearances, extrajudicial killings, and forced press conferences in Balochistan is deeply alarming. The space for peaceful political expression and human rights advocacy is shrinking day by day, while those demanding justice are continuously being silenced through intimidation and fear. Every human being has the right to raise their voice against injustice and human rights violations. But when peaceful platforms are targeted by the Pakistani state, what options are left for the people? Where should families go when the judicial system and state institutions fail to protect the oppressed, and instead remain silent over the suffering of the Baloch people? Nizar Marri Baloch, a human rights defender and member of BYC, was forcibly disappeared, and to this day there is no information about his whereabouts. Zeeshan Zaheer Baloch, whose father, Zaheer Ahmed, has been forcibly disappeared since April 13, 2015, grew up carrying the burden of enforced disappearance within his own family. Instead of receiving justice, Zeeshan himself was killed on June 29, 2025. His family, already shattered by years of suffering, continues to face harassment and pressure. Recently, his sister, Adeeba Baloch, was forced into a press conference to publicly distance herself from the BYC. Such actions reflect the extent to which families are being targeted and psychologically tortured. Fozia Baloch, an active member of the BYC who has consistently stood against injustice, is also being targeted repeatedly. Her brother, writer Daad Shah, was forcibly taken by state agencies on April 21, 2026, from their home. When Fozia demanded justice and raised her voice for her brother, she and her family were dragged, detained, and later released. The message being sent is clear: even demanding basic human rights has become dangerous in Balochistan. These new tactics of harassing the families of BYC members, disappearing peaceful activists, and killing people in broad daylight expose the harsh reality in Balochistan today. Peaceful activism is being criminalized, while those responsible continue to operate without accountability. The state itself is creating narratives to suppress dissent and silence every voice demanding justice. We want to make it absolutely clear: BYC was peaceful, BYC is peaceful, and BYC will continue to peacefully raise its voice against oppression, enforced disappearances, and human rights violations in Balochistan. I urge all human rights organizations and international institutions to take serious notice of the ongoing situation in Balochistan and hold Pakistan accountable for the continued targeting of peaceful activists and the ongoing human rights crisis in Balochistan.
