As the second anniversary of the June 2024 detentions approaches, the UN Security Council condemns in the strongest terms the Houthis' detention of UN, NGO, civil society and diplomatic personnel since 2021, and calls for their immediate release.

[Azalina Othman Said @AzalinaOthmanS]

Today I had the pleasure of receiving a courtesy call from Sir Lindsay Hoyle, Speaker, @HouseofCommons , United Kingdom during his official visit to Malaysia. We had a very fruitful discussion on key areas of parliamentary reform including the role of select committees and their support systems in enhancing parliamentary functions. The discussion also touches on the the Fixed-Term Parliaments Act, the impact of Private Members’ Bills and the evolving challenges of online safety.

I also took the opportunity to update the UK delegation on the various significant reforms that Malaysia has implemented which includes amongst others the Online Safety Act 2024 and the amendments to the penal code in an effort to ensure safer online environment for Malaysian.

It is my fervent hope that this will enhance and stregthen the bilateral relations between Malaysia and the United Kingdom.

[Synaps @SynapsNetwork]

As Syria transitions, all the warnings add little: They are well-known, to the concerned above all. Let us give Syrians time and trust. They need and deserve as much.

And let us discuss the reasons to hope. Synaps, whose team worked across Syria over the years, can name a few 🧵

[Lina Khatib @LinaKhatibUK]

My heart and thoughts are with the Syrian people on this historic day. Your freedom was hard earned. Your sacrifices have not gone in vain. Freedom and dignity are what you deserve. May you have them forever and may generations see free Syria thrive. Long live free Syria!

[Tom Shepherd @AbuBlake]

More needs to be said and written about the resolve and dignity of the Syrian people, in the face of such extreme, murderous oppression.

[Tom Shepherd @AbuBlake]

I was living in Damascus when the #syria revolution began. I worked on Syria from Istanbul 2015-2018.The brutality Assad inflicted on Syria is unfathomable. Since I left the region it’s been too painful to think about. Today seeing prisoners freed in Hama my heart is overflowing
