Crying tears of joy here. An absolute hero, finally out of prison. We’ve campaigned for years for his freedom. We got there.
BREAKING:
We are utterly delighted by the news that finally, after over 2,073 days of unjust imprisonment, our brave friend and former colleague Andrei Aliaksandrau has been released from jail in Belarus.

After Israel's elections, Palestinian journalist Abed Abu Shehadeh was arrested and questioned over an interview. He was released five days later.
Aziz Abu Sarah examines his arrest and the intimidation of Palestinian political participation.

In China today, you can’t say Mao was a dictator while Joshua Wong gets cast as a villain. It’s all upside down, I write: indexoncensorship.org/2026/11/china-…

Joshua Wong's 10-year sentence is appalling. But this is also worthy of attention: Au Kam San, a teacher-turned-lawmaker who served in Macao legislature for 20 years /made only mild criticisms against the govt, was given a 12½ years sentence in city's 1st national security case.

The gross take we’ve been served the last day that Russell Brand is somehow the victim and being sent to jail to silence him. The censorship story here is in the women who were completely disempowered to speak. Brand and his speech has been enabled; the victims’ the reverse.

Why was there a wall of silence around Russell Brand? One significant factor: the threat of costly legal action.

I want to thank this CCP troll for making me laugh. In contrast to others who are trying to go for the jugular by calling me “Jew”, this one has been creative. “Gravy slop” is absolutely what I’m here for 🤪

Me anxiously biting my nails at lunchtime asking a lawyer if Russell Brand might get off.
Me now dancing down the streets in joy.
A huge WIN for women everywhere who are too often silenced & for tenacious journalists who have to navigate legal threats to report such stories.

He’s been robbed of his youth. He’s being robbed of his future. All because he dared to dream and ask for freedom. It’s disgusting.
Joshua Wong is a hero of our times.
His incarceration - now for an extra 10 years - is a sign of Beijing's brutal attack on free speech in this once free city.
@frances_hui said they're trying to make him disappear. Don't let them get away with this.

In Beijing’s Hong Kong, speaking to foreign politicians is ‘collusion’, punishable by life in prison.
Joshua Wong will be sentenced tomorrow for that “crime”.
Democracies must respond together, not one by one.

Defend Our Juries claims that hundreds of protesters have been given bail conditions to not attend protests in support of Palestine.
Not Palestine Action, just on the topic of Palestine..!
Can anyone affected contact me? Has anyone verified this?

PROTESTERS NOW RELEASED ON BAIL
The @ukhomeoffice stated yesterday that “The proscription of Palestine Action does not affect lawful protest in support of the Palestinian cause.”
But hundreds were given bail conditions today not to attend any protests in support of Palestine.

We welcome this verdict. No one should be above scrutiny or accountability, irrespective of their mental health. Using suicide risk as grounds to secure an injunction would have created yet another loophole through which the rich and powerful can suppress legitimate reporting.
A famous man has lost his bid for a High Court injunction against two media organisations to prevent the publication of allegations against him but cannot yet be named subject to any appeal, a judge has ruled.

“It’s alarming to read... that reporting about sexual assault and other sensitive stories has been suppressed at one university, making critical journalism almost impossible.”

Another death of a UN worker whilst in Houthi custody in North Yemen. Condemned by @antonioguterres The suffering of the people of Yemen is immense. Our crew were the last and only foreign journalists inside Taiz City and reported from there for several days before the Houthis encircled it. Our Yemeni team got us out hours before the Houthis besieged the city. If you didn’t see our report, this will give you an insight of how desperate it is inside the City ‘Houthis Taiz Sky News Alex Crawford Youtube' share.google/PCXdTAifiFQ8lx…
I am appalled & deeply saddened by the death of a @UN colleague, Mohammad el Shami, while in the custody of the Houthi de facto authorities in Yemen. He served with @UNHumanRights & had been arbitrarily detained by the Houthis since 2024.
This is the second death of a UN staff member in Houthi detention, following the death of a @WFP colleague in 2025.
I remain gravely concerned for the safety & well-being of the UN personnel, former UN staff & personnel from humanitarian & civil society organizations who remain detained.
I reiterate my call for their immediate & unconditional release.

Another person barred from UK on grounds that their entry and speaking isn’t good for the public.
Do you know what’s not good for the public? This constant tampering with our free speech.
@UKLabour stop it.
