@JakMalonee ...amazing and so richly deserved

Still a physicist at heart. See you there

Today is the birthday of former @IndexCensorship colleague Andrei Aliaksandrau and he is spending it in jail in #Belarus, a 'guest' of dictator Alyaksandr Lukashenka. I spoke to his friends for this article to mark his birthday #FreeAndreiAndIrina https://t.co/00qxoW9CvF

In 2018, Salma al-Shehab tweeted to wish the families of imprisoned women human rights defenders joy and safety. Now she is imprisoned for speaking out, I wish her the same and call for her release #FreeSalma

[Salma ♀️ 🇵🇸🇸🇦 @I_Salma1988]

شكراً يا ربي على عام جميل مضى .
يا رب عام جديد أفضل ، و بشرى بحرية معتقلي و معتقلات الرأي .. يا رب ارزقهم و أهاليهم فرحة و أمان قريبين 💛

In these words, #SaudiArabia sees a crime. I do not, I see someone standing up for basic human rights for women. Salma al-Shehab was arrested two years ago today and should be released immediately #FreeSalma

'' حقوق الإنسان تشكل مفهوماً واحداً و وحيداً، و لا يمكن تميزها كحقوق إسلامية أو غير إسلامية، قبول و تبني هذا التمييز باسم النسبيّة الثقافية يعني إبادة هذه الحقوق ''*

نعم صحيح، كل الحركات النسوية عبر التاريخ هي حركات هجومية. ليست للطرح و ليست للجدال.
كل الحركات النسوية هي لانتزاع حقوق الإناث المسلوبة و هدم النظام الأبوي. و من يقف أمامها للرفض أو التعطيل يُلقب ب الذكوري أو المسيوجيني.
كلامك كله صح ترا، الفرق إننا كلش ما نشوفه شي معيب 😂

Salma al-Shehab was sentenced to 34 years in prison for tweeting in support of the 47 women of the 6 Nov 1990 driving ban protest in #SaudiArabia. Two years on from her arrest I stand in solidarity with her and demand her release #FreeSalma

Salma al-Shehab was arrested two years ago today for tweeting her support for prisoners of conscience including Loujain al-Hathloul. I believe no crime has been committed and I call on #SaudiArabia to release her without delay #FreeSalma

For #Indexat50, Index are taking a look through the archive at their favourite pieces. @markfrary points to Jon Savage's article about why authorities try to ban new styles of music & why they should listen to what young people are saying instead. https://t.co/DlOFNLl33v

@Lottmus Thanks Charlotte. It was great fun to do and made possible by excellent guests

[markfrary @markfrary]

@nessfisher Wow. Wish we were there

There is ALWAYS a local news angle to be found

I know things went a bit crazy in the first lockdown but do hotels on booking sites really need to specify #loorolls as one of their features?

[markfrary @markfrary]

This is going to be really interesting. Register here https://t.co/C8e8VUKml7

[markfrary @markfrary]

This is going to be interesting. Why we travel, how lockdown affected our mood, particularly frequent travellers, what we searched for and what we'll want to do when it's over

What a privilege to sit in on a reading on Zoom of a new play about lockdown by Katherine Parkinson of @ITCrowdSupport featuring her, Harry Peacock of Toast of London and Selina Cadell of Doc Martin. Listen here - https://t.co/xXxQ06RfcF
