We see this pattern over & over again: the police collaborating with nature destruction & arresting activists on spurious charges. The prosecution is quietly dropped, but the nature the activists were trying to protect has been long destroyed & cannot be restored or compensated
We watch in complete shock as Taliban takes control of Afghanistan. I am deeply worried about women, minorities and human rights advocates. Global, regional and local powers must call for an immediate ceasefire, provide urgent humanitarian aid and protect refugees and civilians.
In Medieval Europe the Eve of St. John (23 June) involved the lighting of bonfires combined with dancing to overcome evil spirits and keep the malevolent spells of witches at bay. #SuperstitionSat@SuperstitionSat@avalonbalcony
I am a refugee. When I was six, the UK saved my life and gave me a home and hope.
This #RefugeeWeek my plea is for the UK to live up to its proud humanitarian tradition by giving hope to the refugee children of today. Children like me. Just our fair share, no more than that.
