#Bulgaria: Two weeks after the attacks on several reporters covering the parliamentary election, the police investigation appears to be at a standstill. RSF calls on the Ministry of the Interior to reassure journalists & swiftly bring the perpetrators to justice.

The Israeli story is pagers exploding on the waists of militants in battle.

Our own eyes show people bleeding to death from explosions at cafes, homes with children, grocery stores and on buses surrounded by others.

Our own eyes have been right since 1948.

“Never in post-war history had a population been made to go hungry so quickly and so completely as was the case for the 2.3 million Palestinians living in Gaza.” UN Special Rapporteur right to food ⁦@MichaelFakhri⁩ on Israel’s starvation policies https://t.co/NWJcjQoQzi

The International Criminal Court chief prosecutor said "he had been pressured by some world leaders not to issue warrants" against Israeli officials. “'Several leaders and others told me and advised me and cautioned me,' he said." https://t.co/UagO42O4sN

Aysenur Ezgi, an American of Turkish decent, has died after being shot in the head by Israeli soldiers in the town of Beita.

Aysenur was shot in the head while participating in protests against settlement expansion.

Will @JoeBiden convene a cabinet meeting for her?

Des documents internes de @Frontex révèlent les pressions exercées par les gardes-frontières bulgares sur leurs homologues européens pour ne pas signaler des violences et des expulsions illégales de migrants .

Violence extrême et refoulements systématiques : la police bulgare fait régner la terreur à ses frontières.

Les agents de Frontex présents restent passifs. Ils ont pourtant le devoir de protéger les exilés dont les droits humains sont violés !

@LudekStavinoha has presented the findings of our latest investigation on the violence at the Bulgarian #borders and the role of @Frontex in those “illegal practices” as more than a mere observer. More in the thread. @BalkanInsight @lemondefr @dw_bulgarian thank you.

[Luděk Stavinoha @stavinoha.bsky.social @LudekStavinoha]

🧵Our @BalkanInsight investigation with @MCheresheva, featured in @lemondefr & @dw_bulgarian, brings new evidence that Frontex is implicated in “illegal practices” and that its officers are being silenced from reporting the crimes they witness.

#Gaza: @AlJazeera journalists Ismail al-Ghoul & Ramy al-Rifee join the long list of journalists killed in Gaza, victims of an Israeli strike that hit their press car in the Al-Shati camp while they were reporting.
The need to protect journalists in Palestine has never been more urgent!

[Samira Mohyeddin سمیرا @SMohyeddin]

.@Hind_Gaza reporting on the killing of her colleagues at Al Jazeera is so brutal to watch. The deafening silence among journalist organizations around the world is shameful.

Israel’s maniacal massacre of the messenger in Gaza has happened because of people’s silence.

Since the war has started in #Sudan very little access has been granted to #Darfur. Last month, I was able to travel to war-ravaged El #Geneina to see what the city has become. https://t.co/5M2Gg55U9m

This took months: Israeli intelligence surveilled top ICC officials, human rights groups, and Palestinian victims whose testimonies were sent to the court, with Netanyahu 'obsessed' with the secret war. With @harryfoxdavies, @mck_beth and Meron Rapoport

[Lighthouse Reports @LHreports]

Tens of thousands of Black refugees & migrants are being rounded up across North Africa & dumped in the desert & remote areas, sometimes left for dead

These operations are secretly financed with European money, despite regional and EU denials 🧵
