We are deeply saddened to hear of the passing of #BrianGlanville, a renowned football writer and novelist. In honour of his life, we revisit his piece for Index on covering the Tlatelolco Massacre during the Olympics in Mexico City in 1968: journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10.11…
Some key points to remember as we absorb the results of the EU elections. What the EU must do to promote freedom of expression. article19.org/resources/eu-n…
So that's that. The Rwanda asylum project is essentially over. First flights will go off after the election IF the Conservatives win, and not a single poll predicts that. One of the stupidest policies ever dreamt up by a British govt just imploded. 1/2 lbc.co.uk/news/rishi-sun…
After banning @AlJazeera, #Israel goes after @AP. RSF denounces the seizure of a news agency's camera and the shut down of a live feed showing a view of #Gaza, on the pretext that these images are supplied to @AlJazeera, among other media. This is outrageous censorship.

On International Women's Day, my thoughts are with the many women in jail for standing up and reporting on human rights – Narges Mohammadi, Aslu Kermasheva, Irina Zlobina and so many others. Thank you.
I told myself I'd try to post occasionally, and try, where I can, to make it positive. This will come as no surprise but I loved this: bbc.co.uk/programmes/p0h…
#Belarus: 3 years ago, on 12 January 2021, our friend Andrei Aliaksandrau & his wife Irina Zlobina were unlawfully detained and later sentenced to 14 and 9 years in prison. ARTICLE 19 reiterates our call for their immediate release #FreeAndreiAndIrina article19.org/resources/bela…
Palestinian journalists Hamza Al-Dahdouh & Mustafa Thuraya were killed and another was injured during an Israeli airstrike on Sunday in #Gaza. ARTICLE 19 joins #PressFreedom groups in calling for an investigation into whether they were targeted. article19.org/resources/isra…
Dark times, still, and ongoing. And yet I giggled when the US expert interviewed on Radio 4 pronounced Houthis as "Hooties". Do we think he was a Hootie & the Blowfish fan? I know everyone's always mispronouncing stuff, especially Americans and Brits. But it was funny.
Totally agree with this. New year in Spring! But for now, in January, I will try, try to forge ahead with new energy.
Totally agree with this. New year in Spring! But for now, in January, I will try, try to forge ahead with new energy.
I am going to try to post more. And I am going to aim for happiness. Let's see how it goes. Ramblings wrap-up shows I'm getting old, but also that I'm a softie human. Nowt wrong with that. bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/m0…
Dare we hope for some good news??#PolandElection 🤞
18 months after he'd been put back in jail after thinking he'd been released as part of the deal that brought Nazanin Zaghari-Ratcliffe home, Morad Tahbaz and his wife, Vida (who had a travel ban imposed on her) are on a plane out of Iran. bbc.co.uk/news/uk-608076…

The #HoldTheLine Coalition welcomes the #Philippines verdict acquitting Nobel laureate Maria Ressa and her news outlet Rappler on the final criminal tax charge leveled against them by the regime of former President Rodrigo Duterte. cpj.org/2023/09/hold-t…
This week, as usual, much upset me. And then I was just alarmed about Ken Dodd's wife making his notebooks public...not sure he wanted that? Anyway, this is good. nytimes.com/interactive/20…
