In the current context, we are seeing an actual “short circuit” of #HumanRights. The right to freedom of expression, freedom of conscience, religious freedom, and even the right to life are being restricted in the name of other so-called new rights, with the result that the very framework of human rights is losing its vitality and creating space for force and oppression. This occurs when each right becomes self-referential, and especially when it becomes disconnected from reality, nature, and truth.

Spare a thought today for Afghanistan where a 6.3 earthquake yesterday went almost unnoticed outside the country. The death toll is still unclear, but appears to be at least in the hundreds.

My friend and colleague Rahile Dawut, an eminent anthropologist and a lovely human being, has been sentenced to life in prison.

The Chinese government says Rahile is guilty of "splittism." The truth, though, is that her only crime was being born a #Uyghur

The BBC has decided not to broadcast an episode of David Attenborough’s new series on British wildlife because of fears its themes of the destruction of nature would risk a backlash from Tory politicians and the rightwing press, the Guardian has been told.
