“Europeans cannot instruct a rescue vessel to disembark in Libya – it’s illegal – so they have created a system under which much of the coordination of push-backs is done by Europeans but using the Libyans as a legal smokescreen."

🇻🇦 🇪🇸 Pope condemns 'indifference' towards migrants on Canaries trip
Pope Leo XIV condemned "indifference" towards migrants during a visit to Spain's Canary Islands that symbolised the perils of deadly irregular routes to Europe.
Ecco la nostra risposta alla sempre più stringente criminalizzazione della solidarietà. Aurora 2, la nuova nave di Sea-Watch, ha salvato 71 persone tra cui 21 donne e 4 bambini da un gommone sovraccarico a rischio affondamento. Sbarcheranno in sicurezza a Pozzallo oggi pomeriggio
BREAKING: Israeli settlers are attacking the Christian village of Taybeh right now — setting fields on fire, hurling Molotov cocktails at homes, and attempting to set the village gas station ablaze.

Western media showed more outrage for Qatar not allowing alcohol during the World Cup than a place which is denying the entry of both players and fans from multiple nations and has the possibility of a mass shooting at any given time, right
A racist pogrom is unfolding in Northern Ireland after a Somali man attacked someone with a knife.
Far-right mobs have used the incident as a pretext to target migrants, setting homes & cars on fire, looking for migrant families, and forcing people from their homes.
This is utter bullshit. When Indonesia refused to grant the Israeli under 17 team visa’s for the 2023 U-20 World Cup, FIFA stripped Indonesia’s hosting rights and moved it to Argentina. So @FIFAcom can stop with the lies.
The International Sports Press Association (AIPS) has urged @FIFAcom to address the visa issues facing Iranian and African journalists ahead of the 2026 FIFA World Cup.

This is what the EU pays Libyan militias to do: A person bound at the ankles with plastic cable ties, unable to move while being abducted to Libya on a boat donated by Italy. Our aircraft witnessed this human rights abuse yesterday, the EU needs to answer for what it's funding!
Heute ist #TagDerWeißenBänder
1992: Alle nicht-Serben in Nordwest-Bosnien mussten ihre Oberarme mit weißen Bändern markieren und ihre Häuser mit weißen Tüchern. Erstes Mal seit Holocaust, dass Menschen zur Vernichtung markiert wurden. Auszug aus einem meiner TV-Beiträge +THREAD:
Wenn Konservative und Neoliberale für Faschisten stimmen 🚨

(1/3) Gestern Morgen bezeugte die Crew unseres Flugzeugs #AlbatrossUNO wie die DOENICKE TIDE, ein Handelsschiff unter libyscher Flagge, eine Gruppe Schiffbrüchiger – darunter Frauen, Kinder und die Leiche einer verstorbenen Person – an die libyschen Küstenwachen übergab.
(1/3) Gestern entdeckte #ALBATROSS einen leblosen Körper, der im zentralen Mittelmeer trieb. Eine Person, deren Namen wir wohl nie erfahren werden. Nur Tage nach mehreren Schiffbrüchen vor Libyen und dutzenden Leichen, die an Land gespült wurden, bleibt das Jahr 2026 weiterhin tödlich.

Israel killed 9 paramedics in roughly 72 hours.
Let that sink in.
These are some of their faces.
According to Lebanon’s latest health sector figures, now updated after the killing of additional paramedics in the last 48 hours:
• 125 healthcare workers killed
• 273 wounded
• 149 attacks on the healthcare sector
• 142 ambulances targeted
• 32 medical centres destroyed
• 16 hospitals forced out of service
• 221 ambulance crews attacked
Lebanon’s emergency sector is not collapsing accidentally.
It is being systematically dismantled.
Israel is committing war crimes against Lebanon’s medical services.
Abdallah A. lebt seit 36 Jahren, seit einem
Alter von 2 Monaten, in Deutschland.
2025 erhielt er die Staatsbürgerschaft - aber wenige Wochen später wird sie ihm wieder aberkannt.
Grund: Instagram-Posts mit palästinensischer Flagge.
Kein Urteil, keine Straftat - nur Denunziation durch rechte Medien, die direkt an Berliner Behörden weitergeleitet wurde, was nun dafür sorgt, das ein Mann in die Staatenlosigkeit rutscht. Ein Skandal, zu dem alle schweigen.
Today, the Norwegian Court of Appeal unanimously rejected the European Arrest Warrant issued by Greek authorities against Aegean Boat Report founder Tommy Olsen.
The court concluded that the acts described by Greek authorities do not constitute criminal offences under Norwegian law, and further found a real risk of violation of Article 10 of the European Convention on Human Rights — the right to freedom of expression.
The ruling goes far beyond a technical rejection of an extradition request.
The Norwegian Court of Appeal relied on findings from the European Court of Human Rights, United Nations Special Rapporteurs, and EU Rule of Law reports documenting serious concerns about pushbacks in Greece and the targeting of human rights defenders working with refugees.
The court further recognized that the activities described by Greek authorities — documenting abuses, receiving information, communicating with refugees, and assisting asylum procedures — are protected activities under international law and freedom of expression.
This is not only an important personal victory for Tommy Olsen. It is also an important decision for journalists, human rights defenders, humanitarian workers, and everyone documenting abuses at Europe’s borders.
For years, individuals and organisations working with refugees in Greece have faced intimidation, surveillance, criminal investigations, and abusive prosecutions designed to silence criticism and stop documentation of human rights violations.
The ruling from Hålogaland Court of Appeal sends a clear and serious message:
Humanitarian work is not human smuggling.
Documenting human rights violations is not a crime.
Freedom of expression and the rule of law still matter in Europe.
The court’s decision is also a reminder that criminal law cannot be used as a weapon against those exposing unlawful pushbacks, violence, and abuse against people on the move in the Aegean Sea.
Despite years of pressure, investigations, threats, and attempts to silence our work, Aegean Boat Report will continue documenting what is happening at Europe’s borders.
We will not stop.
Can't stop thinking about Elon Musk, the wealthiest man alive worth $828 billion, spending $290 million to elect Trump, becoming $563 billion richer since Trump was elected and ending humanitarian aid that will lead to the deaths of 4.5 million of the poorest kids on the planet.
