#Yemen: “A mine exploded near five people. One died, one lost his legs, and one lost an arm. They were going on motorcycles and stepped on a #landmine. The rest of them came back deaf. One of them was the groom, and he died in the explosion. His wedding turned into a funeral."

#EidAljazairli, who is 24 years old, nearly drowned trying to cross the #Mediterranean to reach #Europe in 2016. The #Syrian #refugee has stunned swimming experts by learning how to swim in just 12 months and is now training for the #2020Olympics. https://t.co/N7JnoX5eqe

#SadafKhadem decided to be an example for other #Iranianwomen by taking the risk to participate in an international boxing competition. She will become the first #Iranian female boxer to do so despite that women are banned from #boxing in the country under #mullahs’ regime. #Iran

The conversation about women has moved forward with movements like #MeToo and #TimesUp. Yet the conversation about #Muslimwomen continues to be stuck in veils, #burkinis and #jihadibrides. Suspicion and dehumanisation are rarely far from the surface. https://t.co/UTtLNRuo4r

In #Iran, #women’s rate of #unemployment is twice as high as this of men - male and female unemployment rates at 10.2% and 19.7% respectively. This suggests continued gender-reliant differences on the #labormarket. https://t.co/HzEwHEzrjr

“We have massively destroyed the infrastructure and given the population a disgusting image of what may be a Western-style #liberation,” wrote the #French officer, Col. Francois-Regis Legrier. #Iraq #Syria #ISIS https://t.co/QB25P7hbFz

#Yemen's war is often only one-sided presented in the media. How would the public gain a realistic image if the #Houthi atrocities are either absent or barely mentioned in the Western coverage?

"The government (of #Turkey) now has complete control of the media in the run-up to general elections in 2019. Only a handful of low-circulation newspapers still offer an alternative to the government’s #propaganda," said @ErolOnderoglu, from @RSF_inter. https://t.co/RbnDi55uAK

In October 2018, @VICE on @HBO visited the frontlines around #Hodeidah in #Yemen. “The #Houthis burned our houses. We fled away with nothing… We don’t have water. We fight for water.” https://t.co/tF3QIhihQc

Torture and shocking conditions: the human cost of keeping migrants out of Europe. We can no more doubts that the detention system is part of the business model of human traffickers. Serious changes are needed to save lives. https://t.co/TZdG5h4spH

His conviction marks the latest in a series of scandals involving the church’s covering up of cases of #sexabuse, which have revealed evidence showing how paedophile priests were regularly moved among parishes rather than defrocked and referred to police. https://t.co/gBpQ8HwBjf
