By putting the EU-Israel trade deal before human life, the EU puts profit before people. Italy and Germany continue to block the suspension of the EU-Israel Association Agreement.

Demand @giorgiameloni and @bundeskanzler show integrity and stop greenlighting Israel’s genocide in Gaza, and unlawful occupation of the Occupied Palestinian Territory and apartheid over all Palestinians.
Humanity must win.
As Islamic Republic officials use the internet freely to announce the opening of the Strait of Hormuz, don't forget the 90+ million people in Iran cut off from the internet for 50 days. Access to the internet is a human right. Authorities must immediately restore internet access.

Last night, Ukraine came under a large-scale Russian drone and missile attack, severely damaging residential blocks, a shopping mall, private houses and other civilian objects.
In Kyiv at least four civilians were killed, including a 12-year-old child, and at least 60 were injured. Among the injured are police officers who arrived at the site of the strike, as well as medical personnel who came to rescue people. In Odesa, at least nine people were killed and at least 23 were injured. Search and rescue operations are ongoing.
This was one of the deadliest nights for civilians in Ukraine so far this year.
Impunity for attacks on civilians must end. All those responsible must be held accountable.

Holy cow this Iran International story does not mention that Masood was suing Reza Pahlavi and that the two people charged with murdering him are hardcore monarchists.
They only mention the IRGC part.
I’m not surprised, but at the same time it’s shocking to see how they’re covering this part up!!
