    As the EU is setting up a summit in Armenia right before the parliamentary election, we scrutinise Brussels' support for an authoritarian administration, and question why it doesn't encourage a free and fair election instead. Read our White Paper: freekarapetyan.com/wp-content/upl…

    The deportation of a former Justice Minister by the Tanzanian government is a serious escalation and greatly disrespectful to Kenya.

    Establishment media continues to deny Zelensky's crackdown on the Ukrainian Orthodox Church, with this week's outrageous report by PBS @NewsHour serving as another example. We break down its distortions in our video and thread.

    Originally arrested for obstructing a motorcade (after they murdered his driver). Then moved to military detention and tortured over bogus firearms charge. Now re-arrested and charged him with treason. Do not be fooled - Bobi Wine's case is about who he is, not anything he did.

    We welcome the European Parliament’s (@Europarl_EN) decision to debate the case of @TunduALissu. We've written an open letter to its President. This is just the start of mounting international pressure on President Hassan and CCM. There’s a simple way out: #FreeTunduLissu.
