I couldn't be prouder of our team at @naturaljustice who worked so hard on this case, and of the collective work of our NGO partners and, of course, the communities who showed us the way through their courage, perseverance and steadfast defense of our oceans.

An unbelievable day in South Africa's Constitutional Court today as the court finally sets aside #shell's right to explore for oil and gas off the wild coast
Community rights prevail!

Today's Concourt judgment securing victory against #Shell is not only a massive win for human rights, a just energy transition & #climatejustice, but also for African climate litigation: this was the 1st time the #ICJ AO was cited in a binding verdict from an African court ✊️ – at Johannesburg, South Africa

the way i didn’t know this. 15 years ago, netcare kzn pled guilty to facilitating 109 illegal kidney transplants using donors from poor communities. the ceo richard friedland and trafficker ilan perry were central figures, and both avoided prosecution. no one was ever arrested.

The UN General Assembly resolution against torture was rejected by only three countries: the US, Israel, and Argentina, who remind the world that they oppose even the most basic principles of humanity.

📣 BREAKING

Hands off our bodies & lands! At #COP30 we want states to agree on a transformative #Gender Action Plan that recognises & protects women defenders.
#ClimateJustice environmental democracy & women’s liberation are impossible without protecting those who defend these struggles ✊

Mandla Mandela’s pre-recorded message, released because Israel has captured him and activists in the Sumud Flotilla ‼️
Katherine V Robinson retweeted
It’s time to shut it down for a FREE PALESTINE.
The Israeli attack on the Global Sumud Flotilla has begun. The time to respond is NOW.
Hit the streets: shut down embassies, parliaments and corporations complicit in manufacturing in the genocide.

As I watch Israel's illegal abduction of the only humans who have risked their lives to break Israel's unlawful blockade, my thoughts are with the people of Gaza, trapped in Israel's killing fields.
Shame on Western governments first and foremost, and their complicit inaction.
Israel attacks the Global Sumud Flotilla, continues to starve Palestinians in Gaza.
Escalate peaceful disruptive action now.
