ELDH Condemns Spain’s Third Refusal to Recognise José Miguel Etxeberria Álvarez (“Naparra”) as a Victim of State Terrorism eldh.eu/en/2026/10/e...

We are celebrating another legal win! Our client was part of a separatist movement and was detained and tortured for his fight for freedom. In the UK he continued to exercise his right to protest, and with that came the risk of persecution. Finally, he was granted refuge.

BREAKING: DEFEND OUR JURIES RECEIVE 2026 QUAKER TRUTH AND INTEGRITY AWARD Defend Our Juries have been given the award for its "courageous and persistent defence of the constitutional importance of trial by jury".

It takes time for people to get that we’re in the fascist timeline. Fascism is rooted in colonialism. We’ve seen it in Palestine & the imperial boomerang is bringing it to Europe. I spoke to BBC five live listeners to point out the danger, & that’s why @ukstoptrump.bsky.social is mobilising ✊🏽.

Cancel Trump's state visit? Are we serious? 🤯 Our spokesperson @seemasyeda.bsky.social on Radio 5 Live.

Let's resist the far right together! Here are the far-right & fascist counter-demonstrations you need to be at this weekend.

So how about honouring her courage and moral clarity not just with words, but with actions? By imposing sanctions on Israel and defending the ICC against Trump @vonderleyen.ec.europa.eu?

Ursula von der Leyen@vonderleyen.ec.europa.eu · last mo.

She is the defender of the persecuted, the vulnerable, the voiceless and the excluded. Of the rule of law over the right of might. In a world that needs justice more than ever, her courage and moral clarity are a precious compass.

Clear, strong and much needed message

Nobel Prize@nobelprize.org · last mo.

In awarding this year’s Nobel Peace Prize, the Norwegian Nobel Committee wants to remind the world that the rule of law – national and international – underpins the system we have set up to ensure peace and resolve conflicts non-violently. Peace requires justice.

“The sanctions are aimed at bringing the ICC to its knees; and ensuring US allies are not held accountable for genocide, war crimes and crimes against humanity.” "As a global community, we cannot let one State launch unilateral attacks against the Court."

We will look back in the future on Israel's domestic political and media allies in the same way we look back on those sycophantic supporters of Rhodesia and Apartheid South Africa today: as creeps, losers and deniers. It's only a matter of time.

Truly excellent long read here from @hettieobrien.bsky.social on the people, their ideological camps, and their ideas shaping Burnham's govt.
