Last week, more than 100 peaceful protestors were arrested under TERROR LAWS. Our right to protest is one of the most effective tools we have to hold our leaders to account about the genocide in Gaza, the climate crisis and other vital human rights issues. These arrests are yet... show more

Let me quickly clarify this – there was no excessive use of force against protestors in Serbia. Quite the opposite - and we know what the excessive use of force looks like. Attached in the video are just few examples. But this is not Serbia, these are some of the most advanced EU democracies. On protests in Serbia – I wish they were peaceful, but they are not. Protesters in Serbia are, on a daily basis, denying all fundamental rights to other citizens in this country: the right to freedom of movement, which is a fundamental human right, freedom of speech, freedom of opinion, freedom to live freely and peacefully. Despite of this, both our police and our citizens have shown nothing but restraint and patience. Unbelievable, exemplary restraint. 🇷🇸🇷🇸🇷🇸

"It's an existential crisis." Green Party leader Zack Polanski blames "the climate crisis" on "inequality" and corporate greed. 🤡 "The climate crisis is ultimately a crisis of inequality... We need to tackle that in order to stop the greed and the pollution of corporations that are destroying our environment." "If you have a small amount of people who are hoarding wealth and assets, that's ultimately creating some of these bigger problems that include the climate crisis."

BREAKING: Peaceful protestors arrested outside the Labour Party Conference in Liverpool Yet more peaceful protesters are being arrested today and hauled from the streets by police - a scene which just a few months ago would have been shocking but is quickly becoming the norm. This is absolutely not a normal situation, and we cannot let it become so. This is a serious violation of our right to protest, happening in front of our eyes right here in the UK. Amnesty International deployed observers to monitor today’s protest who confirmed that once again the protest was conducted entirely peacefully. These arrests should not be happening. It’s clearly both ridiculous and seriously disproportionate for police to be targeting and arresting people for sitting down, quietly holding a sign. There are serious human rights concerns around not only the proscription of Palestine Action, but also the chilling consequences this decision has had. People are being silenced and peaceful protesters are being pulled from our streets into police vans. The UK's overly broad terrorism laws are being misused to suppress free speech.

🚨BREAKING: Hundreds arrested in Parliament Square for peaceful protest against ban of Palestine Action When the Government is arresting people under terrorism laws for sitting peacefully in protest, something is going very wrong here in the UK. Peaceful protest is a fundamental right. People are understandably outraged by the ongoing genocide being committed in Gaza and are entitled under international human rights law to express their horror. Amnesty has long criticised UK terrorism law for being excessively broad, vaguely worded and a threat to freedom of expression. Today's response only further demonstrates that our concerns were justified. Any restriction on the rights to freedom of expression and peaceful assembly must be lawful, necessary and proportionate to achieving a legitimate aim. Criminalising speech in this context is only permitted when it incites violence or advocates hatred. Expressing support for Palestine Action does not, in itself, meet this threshold.

Dr. Mahrang's latest statement::: I am #MahrangBaloch. Now, I am addressing all of you from Islamabad, Pakistan. I hope you are in any part of the world at this time, and if you are a humanitarian person, then you will listen to our voice, and you will raise your voice against the Baloch Genocide and help us. Baloch genocide has been going on for decades in Balochistan, in which thousands of our elders, youth, children and women have forcibly disappeared, our people are being extra-judicially killed, and our people are being forcefully displaced from their hometowns. Military operations are being carried out in our areas, our resources are being looted, and this Genocide of our nation is intensifying day by day. Against this severe Baloch genocide, we held a peaceful sit-in for 13 days in Turbat Balochistan, and after 13 days, we started a peaceful long march which started from Turbat and traveled hundreds of kilometers to Islamabad, has reached the capital of Pakistan. Today is the 32th day of our mass movement against the Baloch genocide, but in this whole mass movement, from the sit-in to the long march all over Balochistan, the State has used extreme force to stop and end the movement; false FIRs were registered against our people, our friends were subjected to physical violence, our friends were arrested, and when we were faced of all these violence and conspiracies and when we reached Islamabad then we were stopped from going to the Islamabad Press Club and after being stopped for three to four hours, the Islamabad police started torturing us. We were accompanied by small children, women, elderly and young people. All of them were subjected to severe torture; water cans and tear gas were used on us during the night in extreme cold, injuring many of our innocent children, women, elderly and youth. And after we were all arrested, there were about 80 women and children, and more than 200 were our youth. After releasing the women and children last night, an attempt was made to evict them from Islamabad forcefully, but we resisted for 7 to 8 hours, and then we were released. Still, more than 100 of our friends are in the custody of Islamabad police and are not being produced in court, while 14 of our friends have forcibly disappeared, and we are not being given any information about them, nor are we getting any information about them. We need help from the whole world right now. You, as a human being, can stop the genocide of a nation by helping us; if you want another holocaust not to happen, then you have to stop the genocide of the Baloch nation by helping us. You can help us in this way. 1- You can write a letter to the UN working group about our genocide. 2- You can inform the human rights institutions of your country or any other country in the world about the Baloch genocide. 3. You can raise your voice for us in your country's parliament. 4. You can inform the journalists and media houses of your country about us. 5. As a journalist, you can inform the world about the Baloch Genocide. 6. If you are a researcher, you can research our mass movement and our genocide. 7. You can protest for us in your city. 8. You can hold political debates all over the world on the Baloch Genocide. 9- You can file an online petition for us. 10- You can campaign for us on social media. We hope you can understand our pain and fulfill your humanitarian duty by helping us. #MarchAgainstBalochGenocide #StopBalochGenocide

People are traveling, gathering together, barbecuing, celebrating the 250th anniversary of this nation in various ways. And then we have this… An American service member using his right to free speech, guaranteed in our nation’s constitution. A right given to all of us every day. Regardless of your political affiliation, read or watch Major Jason Watson’s full statement. It’s powerful. He has served and is serving. He is speaking up and out, and for that he was arrested. Free speech, freedom of religion, a free press, the freedom to vote for who you choose, the freedom to love who you choose. These are all things we celebrate on our nation’s birthday. They are what makes us a democracy, among many other things. So as you gather, as you grill, as you plan your day, think of Major Watson, think of the freedoms you hold dear, and don’t just celebrate them, but make sure generations to come will have these rights as well! 🇺🇸

From the inception of our movement, our demands have been clear: an end to all forms of human rights violations in Balochistan and the cessation of the Baloch genocide. We've presented these demands to the state through the media. Our stance has remained clear from the beginning – we seek negotiations with the state regarding these demands. Sadly, the world witnesses the continuous irresponsibility and stubbornness of the state, where peaceful protestors endure torture and arrests, and media trials are conducted against this peaceful movement. Today, the Prime Minister of Pakistan declared victims of enforced disappearances as terrorists, insulting victim families and addressing peaceful political activists in a threatening tone. However, we assert to this state and government that we will persist in informing the world about your oppression and barbarism. #MarchAgainstBalochGenocide #StopBalochGenocide #ReleaseBalochMissingPersons

🚨 #DutchFarmers are under attack. While our market is flooded with products from all over the world, laws regarding climate and nitrogen are destroying our own #farmers. We need to stop this. We need to stop the #Agenda2030. And we need to start cherishing our farmers again. No farmers, no food, no future! ⤵️

Peaceful protestors have gathered in front of the Parliament Building in Tbilisi, Georgia, to voice their concern over the repressive direction of their country. They have every right to democracy, to freedom of expression and basic human rights. We are here to support them.

On Tuesday MPs had the chance to stand on the right side of history and vote against the government's latest and extreme attack on our right to protest to maintain it's complicity in Israel's genocide - we thank those who voted to say no to this erosion of our civil liberties.

After speaking to the commissioner of police, lagos state, we had a press conference wherein we addressed several issues as it relates to this protest. In our address, we mentioned that the Commissioner of Police Lagos State Police Command have ordered the immediate release of the protesters who were arrested and detained in Panti, we also spoke about the peaceful protest and the conduct of the enforcement officers. In the press briefing, we assured protesters that our group of lawyers are willing and ready to freely secure the release of whoever is arrested in lagos state. I'm therefore using this medium to urge everyone protesting to ensure that the protest is done peaceful. Please reach out whenever someone protesting close to you is arrested by Lagos State Police Command

Over the last couple of days, it's become very apparent to me that we, in Australia, you and I, we are at the forefront of a battle for internet freedom, for freedom of speech, for the freedom of political communication, the right to share ideas and the rights of internet freedom that we in our modern societies should have distinct from the involvement of the government. Don't ignore what the Australian government is attempting to do, participate in the process and have your say on their "Ministry of Truth".

Free speech in Britain is under attack — by the Government, by activists and by those who wish to silence you because of your views. Since the FSU was founded in February 2020, we have fought more than 6,300 cases defending our members’ right to free speech. Since the last general election in 2024, our membership has grown from 14,000 to more than 46,000. We have lobbied and petitioned successive governments to change laws and amend guidance to ensure our fundamental free speech rights are protected. The threat to free speech has never been more acute — whether at university, at work or, increasingly, online. We can no longer afford to take this fundamental right for granted. Take a look at some of our work below and join the FSU 👇

City of Ottawa mayoral candidate Neil Saravanamuttoo is under attack for speaking out against genocide in Gaza. He’s simply showing the moral courage we all need from our elected leaders. Gaza has become the litmus test for anyone who claims to care about human rights and justice — even at the city level.

Standing up for freedom and human rights is the right thing to do. It is also profoundly in our national interest. Because countries that respect human rights are more likely to be peaceful, prosperous, and stable.

If we were in it together as our adversaries clearly are, then we would be much stronger."
