The real heroes of today are the people of Iran, especially the women!

Today, the Iranian regime confirmed the death sentence of Sharifeh Mohammadi, a mother, a labor activist, and a defender of women’s rights. Her only act was standing up for justice and dignity. Now she faces execution, leaving behind a young child who may never again feel her embrace. This is not just an attack on one woman, it is an attack on every mother who dares to dream of a better life for her children. When injustice threatens the most vulnerable among us, our silence becomes consent. We must raise our voices for Sharifeh, because her fight is the fight of us all.

Dear Members of the @PulitzerPrizes board,

My name is Emily Damari. I was held hostage in Gaza for over 500 days.

On the morning of October 7, I was at home in my small studio apartment in Kibbutz Kfar Aza when Hamas terrorists burst in, shot me and dragged me across the border into Gaza. I was one of 251 men, women, children, and elderly people kidnapped that day from their beds, their homes, and a music festival.

For almost 500 days I lived in terror. I was starved, abused, and treated like I was less than human. I watched friends suffer. I watched hope dim. And even now, after returning home, I carry that darkness with me - because my best friends, Gali and Ziv Berman are still being held in the Hamas terror tunnels.

So imagine my shock and pain when I saw that you awarded a Pulitzer Prize to Mosab Abu Toha.

This is a man who, in January, questioned the very fact of my captivity. He posted about me on Facebook and asked, “How on earth is this girl called a hostage?” He has denied the murder of the Bibas family. He has questioned whether Agam Berger was truly a hostage. These are not word games - they are outright denials of documented atrocities.

You claim to honor journalism that upholds truth, democracy, and human dignity. And yet you have chosen to elevate a voice that denies truth, erases victims, and desecrates the memory of the murdered.

Do you not see what this means? Mosab Abu Toha is not a courageous writer. He is the modern-day equivalent of a Holocaust denier. And by honoring him, you have joined him in the shadows of denial.

This is not a question of politics. This is a question of humanity. And today, you have failed it.

Alweer 10 jaar geleden… en nog elke dag actueel. Vrijheid van meningsuiting, het enige medicijn tegen de tirannie…

[Mike Riegel @mredriegel]

Vier jaar geleden demonstreerde ik met meer dan een miljoen mensen in Parijs voor de vrijheid van meningsuiting, tegen religieus geweld en voor het humanistische ideaal. Bijna de hele wereld was verenigd. Nog steeds actueel ... #JeSuisCharlie

A historic concert by the forbidden voice of an Iranian woman took place inside Iran, a country where women are jailed simply for singing. Thousands of Iranians watched it live on YouTube, celebrating the bravery of this extraordinary woman.

Parastoo Ahmadi, who was once arrested during the “Woman, Life, Freedom” uprising and forced to erase the song “From the Blood of the Youth of the Homeland” from her page, defied the regime once again. This time, she stood without a hijab in a centuries-old caravanserai, singing her heart out and streaming the concert live on YouTube.

She wrote:
“I am Parastoo, a girl who cannot stay silent and refuses to stop singing for the people she loves. This is my right, one I will never surrender. I sing for this land I adore, for the soil of my homeland. Here, in this sacred corner of our beloved Iran, listen to my voice in this imagined concert, and dream of a free and beautiful nation.”

Her voice is a weapon against tyranny, her courage a song of defiance. Parastoo is everything the regime fears, a woman who cannot be silenced.

Zara Esmaeili, another brave young woman who dared to sing in public, is now behind bars. We hope for her freedom and for Iran to be liberated from the tyranny of the Islamic Republic, a regime that, for over 40 years, has banned women from singing and letting their hair flow freely.

I call on all international singers to stand in solidarity with Parastoo, Zara, and the courageous women of Iran who are defying oppressive, discriminatory laws. These brave female singers are risking their freedom and their lives to challenge a regime that has silenced women’s voices for over four decades. Let their courage inspire action, your support can amplify their fight for justice and freedom.

Iranian women are wounded but unbowed to their oppressors.
💔✌️

Zo ziet een gezagscrisis eruit. Dat kun je niet aan een of enkele personen wijten, het is ook het gevolg van een gebrek aan richtinggevende waarden in onze samenleving.

[Gert-Jan Segers @gertjansegers]

Joden zijn vorige week in Amsterdam opgejaagd, om hun paspoort gevraagd, geslagen, tegen hun hoofd getrapt door lieden die riepen dat ze op ‘Jodenjacht’ gingen.

Maar je weet pas écht zeker dat het antisemitisme is als je ziet dat uiteindelijk ook dit de schuld van Joden zelf is.

Bravo ⁦@wouterdewinther⁩ Het beest wordt bij de naam genoemd. De positie van #halsema wordt belangrijker gevonden dan de bestrijding van de radicale Islam. #amsterdam
