#Venezuela: Today marks 8 yrs since the arbitrary detention of Emirlendris Benítez. ⚠️8 years since she was tortured and lost her pregnancy ⚠️8 years of her son growing up without his mother ⚠️8 years of abuse and injustice ⚠️8 years of her family's struggle
Today, a Delhi court acquitted Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh, former president of the Wrestling Federation of India (WFI) and former member of Parliament with the Bharatiya Janata Party, in a sexual harassment case brought by women wrestlers.
#Venezuela: Where is Jorgen? Jorgen Guanares was forcibly disappeared 2 years ago. Every day without answers prolongs the suffering of Jorgen and his family. We demand information about his fate and whereabouts and call for his immediate release.
A key takeaway from this FIFA meltdown is the remarkable show of strength by national football associations. We’ll remember this next time human rights abuses are ignored. FAs have the power to hold FIFA accountable, but they must show political will.

The scathing full text of FIFA COO’s statement is worth reading to see a brave display of integrity from within Zurich HQ.
Tariq Panja@tariqpanja.bsky.social · 5d agoIn a week of incendiary statements, this from Kevin Lamour, who at least for tonight remains FIFA COO, is incredibly damning in that it is from an insider that goes beyond this one scheme and is an assassination in a few hundred words of the FIFA president as a leader of global football.
“VM var først og fremst en triumf for dem som gjennom det siste tiåret har tømt de liberale kjerneverdiene for mening og satt det humanistiske språket i autokratiets, og ofte voldens, tjeneste.” Noe å tenke på ⬇️
(+) Fotball-VM bør ikke få plass i vår kollektive hukommelse som et festlig sommerminne
Mer vellykket kunne ikke et fascistisk propagandaarrangement vært – og mer eksemplarisk kunne ikke den totalitære tenkemåten anno 2026 vært iscenesatt.

🧵FIFA-president Gianni Infantino har denne uken kombinert en total nedsmelting med forslag om dramatiske reformer av FIFA. Den hårsåre fotballederen må være forberedt på mer kritikk i tiden fremover.
Reaksjonene hagler: – Ikke skikket til å lede Fifa
Fifa-presidentens planer og uttalelser møter kraftig motstand. Til og med britenes statsminister reagerer.

FIFA-president, Gianni Infantino, tåler ikke kritikk - selv ikke for FIFAs negative innflytelse på menneskerettigheter eller på miljøet. Kritiserer man FIFA, så sprer man hat (ifølge Infantino). Mens FIFA samler verden, splitter vi den. Det gir han uttrykk for i et rant på Instagram.
Infantino-melding vekker sterke reaksjoner: – Opprørende
Amnesty går hardt ut mot Fifa-president Gianni Infantino.

🧵In an Instagram-post, with a disabled comment section, FIFA-president Gianni Infantino hits back at critics. The football president, who almost never engages with the media, accuses critics of dividing, when he unites, but slogans cannot hide reality.

The #FIFAWorldCup seems to be constantly up for expansion and its sponsors are some of the world’s biggest polluters. Yet FIFA,on paper, commits to ambitious emission reduction targets Felix Horne writes well about the #WorldCup from a climate perspective

If Trump, who has lead the US into a human rights crisis, is seriously proposing Infantino as UN General Secretary, serious questions must be asked about FIFA’s abysmal human rights track record under Infantino’s leadership.

Another illustration of how certain politicians use sports to gain prominence. This was a moment for Spanish athletes to celebrate with its fans, not a moment to get entangled in Trump’s ambitions.

I forkant av #FIFAWorldCup advarte Amnesty International om at fotball-VM kunne bli en fryktfestival dersom ikke FIFA og myndighetene i vertskapslandene #Canada, #USA og #Mexico tok grep. I Dagsavisen skriver jeg om hvordan det hele har utspilt seg. Noen hovedpunkter:
VM-festen har ikke vært for alle
Både norske supportere og landslaget bør være stolte, men arrangørene har ikke levert som lovet.

Immigration and diversity is a strength, not a weakness. This was #England in a game earlier this tournament. Now they might be World Cup finalists. #FIFAWorldCup
