The decimation of Turkey’s main opposition CHP is in full swing. 13 party officials have been arrested in connection with alleged vote rigging in the election of party leader Ozgur Ozel in 2023. Özel was ousted through a court ruling on Thursday based on the same claim. Further arrests are likely with mounting speculation that Ozel might be next. They would join over a dozen deposed/jailed CHP mayors including Istanbul mayor, Ekrem İmamoğlu.

Sanayinin Kuşatması Altında Bir Köy: Taşpınar
Türkiye’nin verimli tarım arazileri sanayiye kurban ediliyor. Bursa’daki mega endüstri bölgesi Teknosab’ın kuşatması altındaki Taşpınar köyü ülke geneline yayılmış yıkım modelinin çarpıcı bir örneği.

Leaked Palestine Action report shatters case for terror listing.

The leaking of the key JTAC (Joint Terrorism Analysis Centre) assessment of Palestine Action by journalist Craig Murray confirms suspicions that the Government was advised that the group focused its actions on protest and property damage, falling well short of accepted international definitions of terrorism.

According to Murray: “The JTAC report makes absolutely clear that its assessment of Palestine Action as a terrorist organisation is based only on the definition in the Terrorism Act, of a group that commits serious damage to property in order to influence government policy. I pause here to note that the United Nations has intervened in the case to state that this does not meet international standards for defining terrorism. Damage to property should only be terrorism when the intent is to endanger life, such as damaging an air traffic control centre. The JTAC report in fact notes that Palestine Action stresses its philosophy of non-violent action against people.”

The Starmer Government relied on this previously unreleased assessment as justification for listing Palestine Action as a terrorist organisation. JTAC is hosted within MI5, and has representation from a dozen government departments and national security and surveillance agencies, including MI6, GCHQ, counter-terrorism police and the Home Office.

From Dr. Abu Selmiya in Gaza:

“This is far more than just an ordinary photo.

It stands as a testament to the ongoing genocide targeting medical leaders and academics — dedicated mentors who taught and guided hundreds of medical students in Gaza.

The photo is from a graduation ceremony at the Faculty of Medicine in Gaza. Four people in this image have been killed in cold blood by the occupation:

— Dr. Omar Farwana, former Dean of the Faculty of Medicine
— Dr. Adnan Al-Bursh, Head of Orthopedic Surgery at Al-Shifa Medical Complex
— Dr. Raafat Lubbad, Head of Internal Medicine at Al-Shifa Medical Complex
— And today, Dr. Marwan Al-Sultan, Consultant Cardiologist and Director of the Indonesian Hospital”

A medical source confirmed to Drop Site that several others in the photo were captured and detained in Israeli torture camps.

Unprecedented lobbying effort to sway the EU on PFAS “forever chemicals”

As the European Union considers a historic ban on #PFAS, it confronts an industry lobbying hard to keep them on the market. Some Turkish companies have also joined the fight.
