Although casting a blank ballot or not voting is legal, encouraging others to do either remains unlawful.

EOC was once accredited as C in UN GANHRI, and once tried to get an A. Today, it has no classification at all.

...Updated for 2026, with those we can confirm.
Others we know of are in the midst of disbanding.
Deeply saddened by the Hong Kong Federation of Students’ decision to disband after almost seven decades, in the face of increasing pressure. This is yet another blow to once-vibrant student activism and civil society in #HongKong.

We’ve received videos of the Tehran Massacre from our sources in Iran
They’ve asked us to publish evidence of their friends being killed for dreaming of a free Iran. This one shows a man’s last breaths
The videos are horrible but must be seen by the world. Share them wide & far
We urgently call for enhanced international support and the activation of the Responsibility to Protect (R2P) framework with respect to the situation in Iran.
