A young man faces imminent execution in Saudi Arabia for attending protests and funerals when he was aged 15 to 17, say human rights groups, in the latest example of the kingdom’s surging use of the death penalty for non-violent crimes.
Youssef al-Manasif was arrested in 2017 and accused of crimes including joining demonstrations for religious freedom by the Shia minority and attending funerals that the Saudi authorities deem to be protests. He was convicted and sentenced to death by the specialised criminal court, a secretive tribunal set up for terrorism-related cases.

Condemn the damage, sure. But don’t erase the demands, excuse police brutality or pretend injustice began when the protest did.
Let's stand for non-violent resistance AND refuse to treat broken windows as a greater outrage than broken lives.

A message to billionaires, big polluters and corporate sharks: our planet is not your private resort. Our future is not yours to sell.
Respect existence or expect resistance.

It seems that a lot of political activists don't understand the importance of free software, and think the Epstein class platforms are just some kind of neutral commons that can be used for anything.
Meanwhile, a lot of free software advocates don't understand the importance of politics, and think it is just pointless virtue-signaling.
We have a lot to learn from each other.

Open quoted postKenmore has construction all over the main intersection with the highway - and also western Kenmore goes to Lake Forest Park for protests and eastern Kenmore goes to Bothell for protests - but for Kenmore, this isn't bad

Housing is a HUMAN RIGHT.
Maricarmen, 87, was evicted from the Madrid home she had lived in for 70 years, while investors sought to more than quintuple her rent.
Across Europe, people are refusing a system that turns homes into profit machines.
Homes for PEOPLE. Not speculation.

Media, and most people around the world have forgotten about Albania and their never ending protests against oligarchs and Epstein class zionist trying to destroy their country.
Almost 100 nights of protests with 100s of thousands protesting every night hasn't gotten the publicity they deserve.
Albania needs our help to spread their message and ask for support of their fight against corruption at home and the global disaster capitalism.

If you wanted a demonstration of how compromised law & order is in the UK, one only needs to compare the 'protests' in Dover by a large group of based individuals carrying on in a manner one might regard pretty clearly as threatening - no arrests; with the police actions against peaceful protestors holding placards in support of Palestine Action - arrests.
If you wanted to bring the police and the rule of law into disrepute this would be a textbook example of how to do it.
