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.

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 ✊

Given the rise of attacks, the gendered nature of reprisals against women #defenders & the life/death circumstances under which defenders fight for our environment, ecosystems & climate, we have to move beyond lip service and symbolism @IUCN

Mandla Mandela’s pre-recorded message, released because Israel has captured him and activists in the Sumud Flotilla ‼️

[Global Sumud Flotilla @gbsumudflotilla]

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.

[Francesca Albanese, UN Special Rapporteur oPt @FranceskAlbs]

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.

⚡️The richest 10% of citizens consume 50% of global energy. If redistributed, the energy consumed by the wealthiest 1% alone would be enough to meet the basic energy needs of people without electricity access seven times over. https://t.co/fMEgq7T17o

#Shell & Impact Africa implied in their arguments that the Con Court, by potentially overstepping the separation of powers, can "panel beat" the law to help them cut corners in public participation & save their 💰 invested 💸( "a self inflicted injury")

The perfect conclusion to today's #ConCourt proceedings to #SaveTheWildCoast:
#Shell wants the easy way out ❌️

#ToHellWithShell profits don't trump human rights 👇
Court adjourned & judgment reserved

[Natural Justice @naturaljustice]

@MasifundiseDT @Greenpeaceafric @TheGreenConnect 51/ Ferreira concludes by asking why Impact & #Shell so keen for this Court to "panel beat" the SCA ruling? The answer is obvious - they don't want to have to go through the onerous process of consultation required by the law. They want the easy way out.
