BREAKING: Police in Northampton cuff and drag away elderly protestors for opposing genocide and the Palestine Action ban. The state are prioritising the interests of a foreign genocidal weapons manufacturer over the freedoms of its own citizens. https://t.co/xHyNnPti3B

Flotilla activists Evie Snedker and my friend @kieran_andrieu are home. ❤️

Sirius, a boat older than the state of Israel, is sailing into the port of Ashdod, seized by the IDF, and diverted from delivering aid to Gaza. Heartbreaking to watch.

If you’re watching this I have been illegally detained by Israel, for trying to deliver baby formula, food and medicine to Gaza. Demand our government uphold international law and hold Israel to account.

Kieran Andrieu, my colleague at @novaramedia & a friend I admire, has now been kidnapped by Israel. What is happening off the coast of Gaza is illegal under international law. Share this video. A British citizen has been kidnapped @Keir_Starmer.

UPDATE: Organisers on board are reporting a 'huge concentration of vessels' seven to 20 miles away. This matches the 'stated plans from the Israeli foreign ministry' and is assumed to be a blockade.

#MyanmarEarthquake: I will be posting updates, firsthand observations, and thoughts from within the country in this thread. The situation is terrible, with aftershocks continuing, electricity outages in impacted areas, and (almost) no free press on the ground. The majority of

During press conference Danny Fenster called not just for release of all journalists in Myanmar, but also other political prisoners including doctors and teachers. Will have a “short celebration” but wants to stay focused on “the real story here”.

“But we also recognise Danny is one of many journalists in Myanmar who have been unjustly arrested simply for doing their job since the February coup. We call on the military regime to release all of the journalists who remain behind bars in Myanmar.” 3/5

(1/2) Day 176!!! We are overjoyed that Danny has been released and is on his way home – we cannot wait to hold him in our arms. We are tremendously grateful to all the people who have helped secure his release, especially @GovRichardson. #BringDannyHome

Frontier Myanmar statement on conviction and sentencing of Danny Fenster Frontier Myanmar is deeply disappointed at the decision today to convict its Managing Editor, Danny Fenster, on three charges and impose prison sentences totalling 11 years. 1/8

Day 157. A picture is worth a thousand words. Danny’s next hearing will be November 3rd. We thank you for your continued love and support. We will get through this. #BringDannyHome #WhatsHappeningInMyanmar https://t.co/JOxNF4wS24

British American Tobacco is pulling out of Myanmar and some seem to think this means the loss of a 'responsible' foreign investor. Here's my investigation from 2016 showing how the company illegally marketed its cigarettes to children in the country: https://t.co/ndtJEONDvQ

I read with interest the last @CrisisGroup brief on Myanmar. The report is as always very informed. However, the final recommendations fall short of covering some possible engagement tracks. Pinging @rshorsey in case he wants to explain. Three questions⬇️ https://t.co/isujhVpC3k

@AlMcCready1 @rshorsey Can @rshorsey care to explain this? Why is @CrisisGroup commenting on our situations like this while they’re also taking money from @Chevron ??

We do not know why Danny was detained and have not been able to contact him since this morning. We are concerned for his wellbeing and call for his immediate release. Our priorities right now are to make sure he is safe and to provide him with whatever assistance he needs. ENDS
