Project South's @ashahshahani is quoted in the story from @wabenews on the latest death in Stewart:

“It is horrifying. We are up to now four known suicides at Stewart and 14 deaths. None of these deaths, none of these suicides should have happened.”

Project South's @ashahshahani is quoted in today's article from @guardian on the latest death in Stewart Detention Center: "As tragedies mount at Stewart, we renew our call for this deadly prison to be shut down.”

United States' sanctions against Palestinian human rights organizations & International Criminal Court officials are the latest chapter in a long history of attacks against advocates aiming to hold Israel & U.S. accountable.

For more, read his “Discourse on Colonialism” published in 1950.

[Azadeh Shahshahani @ashahshahani]

Trump's disgusting speech on Iran last night reminded me of what the anticolonial leader Aimé Césaire said: “The hour of the barbarian is at hand. The modern barbarian. The American hour. Violence, excess, waste, mercantilism, bluff, conformism, stupidity, vulgarity, disorder.”
