Hi Ms Nawaz,

Watched your interview where a Cuban official made several false claims that went unchallenged.For example, she stated: "Cuba is not & has never been a threat to the United States.

🚨 ALERT | BURUNDI

Benjamin “Ben” Babunga Watuna, a Congolese humanitarian development professional and respected writer on the political and security dynamics of the Great Lakes region, was reportedly arrested while visiting Burundi and is now being held by Burundi’s National Intelligence Service (SNR) in Bujumbura. Reports suggest his detention may be linked to pressure from Congolese authorities and to his published work.

Ben must not become a victim of political bargaining, cross-border pressure, or retaliation for his peaceful expression.

We call on the Burundian authorities to immediately disclose his legal status, guarantee access to due process, and ensure his safety and fundamental rights are fully protected.

We urge governments, international organizations, human rights defenders, journalists, and civil society across Africa and beyond to raise their voices and demand accountability.

Silence enables abuse. Attention saves lives.

Join us in calling for transparency, justice, and respect for the rule of law.

Daughter of Reza Pahlavi, Noor Pahlavi:

We are not fighting for a throne. We are fighting for freedom for a people who have been denied it for 47 years.

I have never set foot in my country. I have never walked its streets, touched its soil…

[Rep. María Elvira Salazar @RepMariaSalazar]

Today, I pressed @SecRubio on whether the Venezuela model can be replicated in Cuba.

His answer was clear: the United States will not allow the Castro regime to benefit from American resources, and Cuba's future cannot be built on the same system that has oppressed the Cuban people for nearly seven decades.

In Miami, we've known this for decades: there can be no democratic future for Cuba that leaves the Castro family in power. The Cuban people deserve freedom, democracy, and the opportunity to choose their own future. 🇨🇺🇺🇸

It’s on the record now by the administration. Russia is doing poorly.

SECRETARY RUBIO: "One of the things you'll find pretty consistently in every totalitarian system is that they want to control the ability of their citizens to communicate with one another."

Broadening U.S. sanctions to go after the Cuban regime’s business partners is essential to increasing pressure on Havana and bringing long overdue political and economic change. We outline 6 specific steps to escalate that pressure @FDD @maxmeizlish https://t.co/crYhc0Z3bd

‼️Necesitamos visibilidad urgente para lo que está pasando con los manifestantes dentro de Cuba.

Yunaiky Linares fue golpeada incluso esposada. Las boinas negras entraron con toda la violencia a Santa Amalia sin compasión.

#FreeYunaikyLinares

[Anamely Ramos González @AnamelyRamos]

‼️COMPARTAN URGENTE

Compartan esto como si no hubiese un mañana.

La represión en Cuba no para de aumentar.

Ayer por la noche en Santa Amalia, Arroyo Naranjo, la gente se tiró a la calle porque estan al límite de lo humano.

La policía llegó y arremetió contra ellos con violencia y se llevó a mucha gente, entre ellos a YUNAIKY LINARES, presa política cubana. Fue golpeada con saña lo mismo que el resto de su familia, sin importar la presencia de niños pequeños.

NIÑOS GRITANDO, DICIENDO QUE MATABAN A SU HERMANA!
SÁDICOS!

Está en el Capri en este momento.
Estas son sus palabras apresuradas:
“Estoy golpeada me asfixiaron, el policia venía tapandome la boca y la nariz para torturarme: mi nombre es yunaykis linares rodriguez, presa politica por El 11J y excarcelada, me negaron asistencia medica y agua”.

Ustedes son unos malditos cobardes abusadores‼️

La gente ya no puede más. No pueden matar a la gente así y encima pretender que mueran en silencio.

QUE HARÁN? LOS MATARAN A TODOS?

Alerta 🚨
En Cuba la represión sigue aumentando.

Yoel Cruz no ha cometido ningún delito. Solo ha ejercido su derecho a manifestarse pacíficamente ante la precariedad insoportable con la que se vive hoy en Cuba.

Ayer, 1 de junio, un oficial vestido de verde olivo fue a verlo en su casa en Lawton para intentar convencerlo “por las buenas” de que no tocaran más calderos ni gritaran consignas. Llegó incluso a ofrecerle una pipa de agua, como si el hambre, la sed y la indignación de un pueblo pudieran comprarse así.

Hoy en la tarde, dos oficiales fueron a buscarlo a su casa: uno vestido de policía y otro de verde olivo. Supuestamente querían “hablar” con él. Yoel estaba trabajando.

Esto es acoso. Es persecución contra ciudadanos de bien que solo quieren expresarse. No solo quieren matar lentamente a la gente: quieren que muera en silencio.

Y, para colmo, este mes se cumple un año de la muerte de su hermano bajo custodia del Estado. Yoel nunca fue avisado, a pesar de haber denunciado su desaparición y de no haber dejado de buscarlo ni un minuto.

Dejen a Yoel en paz. Dejen a la gente con sus dolores. Ustedes ya pasaron el umbral del delirio. No se vuelvan locos: el horno no está para galleticas.

She watched Burma begin to open up after decades of military rule, then saw a coup try to drag the country backward.

At the Oslo Freedom Forum, journalist Thin Lei Win reflects on the fear woven into everyday life under dictatorship and why independent journalism remains one of the strongest defenses against authoritarianism. She continues to shine a light on the lives of ordinary people confronting the junta.

During the Freedom Tech track at the 2026 Oslo Freedom Forum, @leopoldolopez, co-founder of the World Liberty Congress and Venezuelan opposition leader, joined @AlvaroSalas, president and CEO of The Reynolds Foundation, to examine how freedom tech can help people reclaim dignity, access, and agency under authoritarian rule.

López also presented Agora, a new censorship-resistant donation platform he vibe coded and designed, built on Nostr and Bitcoin to help freedom movements and political prisoners receive direct international support without relying on traditional financial gatekeepers.
