#NewReport: CSOH and Research in Societal Extremism (RISE) at @CharlesUniPRG map the landscape of Czech-language online hate and examine how hateful narratives targeting different minority communities intersect and reinforce one another.

The report documents dehumanizing rhetoric, narratives of criminality and societal collapse, the “Great Replacement,” “Islamization,” and calls for exclusion.

It also finds significant gaps in the response to online hate. The Czech Telecommunications Office (Český telekomunikační úřad), the country’s Digital Services Coordinator, still lacks the statutory powers needed to carry out core functions under the EU’s Digital Services Act.

International students are not taking up most of the admission spots at the University of Texas at Austin.

The photo in the post is not from a graduation ceremony. It was taken from a video shot at a Texas Longhorns football game on September 12th, 2026.

Under Texas law, UT Austin reserves 90% of its first-year undergraduate admission spaces for Texas residents. The remaining 10% are shared between out-of-state and international students.

Sri Lanka’s far-right landscape is changing.

For years, its politics were largely shaped by militant Sinhala Buddhist nationalism, mobilizing anxieties around minorities, demographic change, and threats to national culture.

Now, the Mothers Movement is opening a new chapter by repackaging older nationalist anxieties through motherhood, family values, and global “anti-woke” politics.

Japan’s Muslims make up just 0.3% of the country’s population. Yet a few local disputes over burial grounds and mosques are increasingly being picked up and amplified by far-right actors across borders.

Our latest analysis examines how local controversies in Japan are transformed into global narratives of “Islamization,” demographic replacement, and cultural displacement and then fed back into Japanese political discourse.

I was deported from Morocco while travelling to attend @IRFSummit - North Africa.

Although INTERPOL deleted China’s politically motivated Red Notice against me in 2018, I continue to face the consequences of Beijing’s campaign of transnational repression.

This incident comes only weeks after China’s new Ethnic Unity Law entered into force. While there is no public evidence that Morocco acted under Article 63, my deportation demonstrates how China’s expanding legal framework and political pressure continue to threaten Uyghur activists far beyond its borders.

As a German citizen, I will ask the @GermanyDiplo government, @eu_eeas EU and our democratic partners to help ensure that politically motivated travel restrictions are not used to hinder my human rights work again.

Transnational repression must not become the new normal.

Governments across Southeast Asia increasingly recognize the need to strengthen online protections for children as digital harms continue to evolve.

But are they doing enough to regulate how social media platforms and their products expose children to harm?

Join us on August 5 to explore the challenges, policy responses, and what more needs to be done to better protect children online.

The ongoing Gen Z protests offer a glimpse into how live facial recognition and AI-powered surveillance are reshaping the policing of public dissent in India.

This dystopian level of mass surveillance has been made possible by the steady expansion of surveillance infrastructure across the country without being accompanied by any form of democratic deliberation, public transparency, or regulatory oversight.

India has some of the most surveilled cities in the world, with CCTV networks feeding into central command and control centers.

Cocaine and firearms seized as part of Operation Hard Ball, an international law enforcement investigation into India-based organized crime syndicates.

[FBI Los Angeles @FBILosAngeles]

Law enforcement partners in the United States, Canada, and Europe have arrested 24 defendants – 11 of them in California – connected to three India-based transnational organized crime groups charged with a litany of criminal acts, including the assassination in Canada in 2023 of a prominent Indian political and religious figure.

Today’s law enforcement action – “Operation Hard Ball” – is the result of a years-long federal investigation into Indian crime syndicates that engage in racketeering, targeted killings, shootings, extortion, the trafficking of bulk quantities of narcotics across international borders, and other crimes around the world whose impact is especially felt in the Indian diaspora.

In total, 37 defendants – including two defendants who ran their global criminal syndicates while imprisoned in India – are charged across three indictments unsealed today. Those arrested in the United States – 11 in California, one in Indiana, and one in Georgia – are expected to make their initial appearances today in federal court.

Three defendants have been arrested in Canada, one defendant was arrested in Spain, and seven defendants already were in custody prior to today’s law enforcement operation. Law enforcement is looking for 10 fugitives – seven in the United States, two in India, and one in Europe.

As part of this investigation, law enforcement has seized approximately 1,000 kilograms of cocaine and 1 kilogram of heroin along with $40,000 in cash and a dozen firearms. A total of 23 search warrants have been executed in the Sacramento area and 11 warrants have been executed in the Los Angeles area.
