A #Bor, nella #Serbia orientale, il voto del 29 marzo ha avuto il volto della violenza: giornalisti, attivisti e studenti aggrediti, cittadini intimiditi, paura e brutalità. Ho provato a ricostruire cosa è successo in questo pezzo per @Meridiano13 https://t.co/CIWSW6WYNE

Slovenia split almost down the middle: Golob’s liberals win the vote (29%), but Janša’s conservatives (28%) dominate many districts. A divided map, a divided electorate... and a tough road to govern.

In light of today’s shooting death of Charlie Kirk, it’s worth remembering that while Paul Pelosi was lying in the ICU with a fractured skull, vile ghouls like Don Jr. thought it was comedy content. These people don’t just enable violence - they celebrate it.

[Oleksandra Matviichuk @avalaina]

Today, I spoke at an event in Stockholm about our colleague, Ukrainian journalist Viktoriya Roshchina. I had to turn off the camera right after my speech because it was difficult to contain my emotions.

Today, 13 world media outlets published investigations about the capture and death of Viktoriya Roshchina. I will leave links in different languages ​​in the comments. And I will say a few words from myself.

Viktoriya was young, talented, dedicated to the journalistic profession, and incredibly brave. I met her 11 years ago when she joined our campaign to release illegally detained people in Crimea and eastern occupied territories.

In the first year of the full-scale invasion, she went to the occupied territories herself to write about illegaly detained people and disappeared. We already know that she was abducted, tortured, secretly transported to Russia, and detained there without any legal basis. We know that she did not receive medical care and weighed about 30 kg. But we still do not know how she died. 

Russians refused to return her body for a long time. When they returned the body, it had a visible trace of torture and was missing several internal organs – eyeballs, brain, and part of the trachea.

Russians are even now hardly trying to hide what they did to her. That's why the investigation conducted by 50 journalists from 6 different countries around the world is so important.

Victoria believed in truth and justice so strongly that she knowingly risked her life to tell us what was happening in the occupied territories. We will continue her struggle.

It sound’s surreal, but after attacks like this I don’t want to leave Ukraine even more. Even for couple days.
Going to record my podcast. Today is about Stefania Shabatura from Lviv who was imprisoned in 1970s for her art (this work below) and other brave women.

MUAMER SMAJLOVIĆ was killed on 3 September 1992. He was going back home when a #Serb sniper shot him dead.

Muamer was 9 years old.

Mongolia probably has the worst geopolitical position in modern history, surrounded on all sides by the Russian and Chinese empires. So I want to commend the bravery of this small group of Mongolians who stood against Putin's state visit

In this family from Lviv only father survived today

The mother and three daughters were killed by a Russian missile.

Russia deliberately kills children every day to break Ukrainians with terror

I've just signed a petition urging the Tanzanian government stop auctioning Maasai land to trophy hunters and carbon traders. The Maasai are being forcibly evicted from their ancestral homes under the false promise of conservation. Sign here 👉 https://t.co/zjua1yonf6

.@TotalEnergies, EACOP’s flawed economic model will push Uganda into deeper debt while offering no real benefits to the people. We need investments in renewable energy, not exploitation! #StopEACOP @350 @stopEACOP @GreenpeaceAfric
