The United States, UK, and Israel were among the last countries to end their support for the apartheid regime in South Africa.
The legacy of a liberated South Africa lives on as a country that defeated apartheid takes the Israeli apartheid regime to The Hague for genocide.
South Africa legal team's Adila Hassim @CIJ_ICJ: “Genocides are never declared in advance, but this court has the benefit of the past 13 weeks of evidence that shows incontrovertibly a pattern of conduct & related intention that justifies a plausible claim of genocidal acts.”

Rainbow Railroad strongly condemns the arrests and death sentences of two #LGBTQI+ activists in Iran, which are discriminatory and without valid legal basis. We call on Iranian authorities to immediately quash the convictions of Zahra Sedighi-Hamadani and Elham Choubdar.
It's out there! On display @chaptersindigo. Must admit it was a bit surprising to walk into the Bay/Bloor Chapters here in Toronto and see my face on the display table. My first experience of seeing the book for sale in real life, since before it was all happening in Australia.
