Congratulations to every Syrian who fought tirelessly for this moment: the peaceful protesters, the Free Syrian Army fighters, the detainees who paid the heaviest price among us, and the heroes of the White Helmets who gave us hope in our darkest hours.

"Do you apologise to football fans? The Premier League says 'sham' contracts, is this a 'sham' club?"

@RobHarris questions Man City chief executive Ferran Soriano after the club was found guilty of all charges related to Premier League's financial rules

I AM ON MY FEET AND APPLAUDING.
THIS IS WHAT HE DOES.

🚨 Bruno Fernandes breaks the Premier League assist record.

His outswinging corner is met by Patrick Dorgu, whose header is too powerful for Bart Verbruggen, the ball bouncing in off the bar.

United's players run to gather Fernandes in an embrace. Fans sing his name. #MUFC

[Pedro Sánchez @sanchezcastejon]

Quienes consideran que ondear la bandera de un Estado es “incitar al odio”, o han perdido el juicio o han sido cegados por su propia ignominia.

Lamine solo ha expresado la solidaridad por Palestina que sentimos millones de españoles. Otro motivo más para estar orgullosos de él.

Wtf

[Lighthouse Reports @LHreports]

It's not often we get to report on hopeful news...

Alaa Hamoudi has won in the EU's top court against Frontex! This opens doors for many survivors of Frontex pushbacks.

@bash_deeb tells how he first reported on Alaa's case back in 2020 with @bellingcat. And how this evidence ended up in court.

Although It's an open secret that his employers are the main supporters of the RSF in Sudan, none of the journalists in the room thought about asking him the obvious question when he mentioned being hurt by seeing the images from Sudan.

[Sky News @SkyNews]

Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola said it is 'clear' that there is a genocide in Palestine.

He went on to say that seeing images from Sudan, Palestine and Ukraine 'hurts' him.

Penguins don’t live in Greenland.
But ignorance lives in the White House.

[Neil Hauer @NeilPHauer]

The amount of disinformation with regards to Syria right now is crazy. Pro-SDF accounts claim there is a 'genocide of Kurds' occurring (when the Syrian army has entered zero Kurdish towns). Meanwhile, YPG gunmen have conducted two separate mass executions of Arab men past 48hrs.

Very important investigation into yet another crime committed by #Assad's terror regime: How the 'charity' @sos_children @SOS_Children_Sy helped disappear & hide the children of political detainees in #Syria.

[Gary Spedding @GarySpedding]

I will never forgive nor will I ever forget about the various Assadists, Russian stooges & malicious inhumane bastards who deliberately and knowingly did everything they could to get my friend @Elizrael killed by her captors while she was held hostage in Iraq.

The huge push by those nasty propagandists to talk up false claims about her being some kind of Israeli spy or intelligence agent put her life at greater risk and it is quite apparent that individuals like Ali Abunimah, Max Blumenthal, Aaron Mate and Asa Winstanley - to name just a few - published hit pieces and promoted disinformation with the intent of getting Elizabeth killed.

These people are pure evil. They do not believe in any kind of human rights or justice.

Read Elizabeth's story here in the @nytimes published today: https://t.co/YJNZmiNS1k

[Elizabeth Tsurkov @LizHurra]

نشرت صحيفة @nytimes للتو التقرير الخاص باختطافي، والفترة التي قضيتها في الأسر، وكيف تم تحريري. يحتوي التقرير على تفاصيل صعبة حول التعذيب الذي مارسته كتائب الحثالة لإجباري على الإدلاء باعترافات كاذبة.
كان المراسلون الذين كتبوا القصة محترمين ومراعين، ولم يضغطوا عليّ لمشاركة أي شيء كنت أرغب في الاحتفاظ به كمعلومات خاصة.
مثل أي شخص آخر، لا أريد أن تكون تفاصيل أسوأ لحظات حياتي علنية. لكني أعلم أن جميع ضحايا الميليشيات العراقية تقريباً لا يستطيعون التحدث علانية: فإما أن تكون الميليشيات قد قتلتهم، أو أنهم موجودون في العراق أو لديهم عائلات فيه، وبالتالي ما زالوا معرضين للتهديد.
قلت لنفسي وأنا في الأسر أن إذا نجوت وخرجت حياً، فسيكون واجبي تجاه الضحايا الآخرين لهذه الميليشيات، الذين غالبيتهم الساحقة من العراقيين والسوريين، أن أفضح وحشيتهم ودناءتهم. لقد نجوت بفضل الله من يد هؤلاء القوم المجرمين وخرجت حياً. أنا بأمان. ويمكنني وواجبي أن أصدح بالحق الآن.

The story of my kidnapping by Kataeb Hezbollah, an Iraqi militia serving Iran, 903 days of captivity, and liberation thanks to threats of the Trump Administration https://t.co/1wM34fcLFQ By @adamrasgon, @IKershner & @ronenbergman

[Bashar Deeb / بشار ديب @bash_deeb]

@Elizrael @adamrasgon @IKershner @ronenbergman Although I don't know you in person, I thought of you on the day Syria was freed from the Assad regime, you are one of the few voices that never stopped supporitng our casue. Congratulations on your freedom and I wish you a smooth and steady recovery.

simultaneously incredible and totally predictable

@trbrtc Very valuable and important work Christiaan

[Christiaan Triebert @trbrtc]

When Bashar al-Assad’s regime collapsed in Syria, many of the officials who enabled and enforced his brutal regime disappeared. Our reporting uncovers who they are, what they did and where they fled. https://t.co/TkJ3AgTRi6

[Bashar Deeb / بشار ديب @bash_deeb]

@SOSKinderdorfAT @1962Wren @simonajeger @SOSChildrenUSA @soschildrenuk @LHreports By severely limited, you mean limited to secretly hiding children of detainees that were forcibly separated from their parents so the authoritarian regime can use them as leverage against their own communities.

[Simona 🍉 #HumanityIsDead @simonajeger]

@SOSKinderdorfAT @1962Wren @SOSChildrenUSA @soschildrenuk @bash_deeb @LHreports To disappear and hide children per Assad’s orders is not to protect children. You should do everything possible to find them. - @qunfuz2 @Syrians4J @EliotHiggins

[Simona 🍉 #HumanityIsDead @simonajeger]

'#Syria has one of the largest populations of missing people in the world. - Families are still searching for at least 3,700 children who went missing under al-#Assad.'
