The #Belarus regime's so-called elections today fail to meet any democratic standards, resembling more a military operation against its own citizens, the constitution & common sense. I urge Belarusians & the international community to categorically reject this sham.

Despite or arrests, Russians are coming out to the streets to honor Navalny's memory

Everyday we ask our friends and colleagues in #Gaza if theyβre alive. A simple text. Are you still alive. Today the silence from Izzeddin Nawasra was heartbreaking - He was murdered in an airstrike on his home in the Maghazi refugee camp last night. Hereβs his story.

βοΈ No joke, but the UN is a increasingly a joke...
No joke: this Thursday, the Islamic Regime in Iran will become Chair of the U.N. Human Rights Council Social Forum.
Say NO to the U.N. legitimizing a regime that beats, blinds, tortures and rapes women for demanding their rights.

Turkey is now bombing Kobani, the town where the Kurds were surrounded by ISIS in 2014 while Turkey was watching from a hill top cheering their terrorist allies on.
ISIS failed to take Kobani, Turkey wants to finish the job.

Ballykilcavan brewery is just 2.5km from the site of the Electric Picnic (@EPfestival), but we are not allowed to serve our beers there. The festival claims to be sustainable, but despite our three national sustainability awards, we're still not allowed in. Here's why.
