Palestinians Describe Israeli Treatment At Rafah Crossing

February 7, 2026 Tareq S. Hajjaj, Mondoweiss. Educate! Human Rights, Israel, Palestine, Rafah, Rafah crossing

Shackled, interrogated, and humiliated. That is how Intisar al-Ekir, a Palestinian woman from Gaza, described her experience as one of a dozen people who returned back to Gaza from Egypt through the Rafah border crossing this week. In a widely circulated video on social media, al-Ekir steps off a bus arriving from the Rafah crossing into Gaza, her outstretched hands showing signs of being handcuffed. She describes how she was harshly interrogated for three hours, how she was forced to identify her son among a group of people, and how Israeli investigators kept aggressively asking her about his whereabouts.

Washington, DC — The American Civil Liberties Union and the ACLU of Minnesota sent an urgent submission late last night to the United Nations Committee on the Elimination of Racial Discrimination (CERD), requesting the committee to use its early warning and urgent action procedure in response to the human rights crisis following the Trump administration's deployment of federal forces in Minneapolis and the St. Paul metropolitan area. The submission details how federal agents have ignored basic human rights in their enforcement activity against Minnesotans, especially targeting Somali and Latino communities.

The US War On Cuba Enters Its Most Brutal Phase

January 31, 2026 Manolo de Los Santos, People's Dispatch. Educate! Cuba, Economic Blockade, Human Rights, Trump Administration

In the stillness of a Havana night, the only sounds are the hum of a generator in a distant hospital and the murmur of a family gathered in candlelight. For them, “US national security” is not an abstract concept debated on American cable news; it is the tangible reality of a 20-hour blackout, the smell of spoiled food, and the fear for a child’s refrigerated medicine. This is the face of a policy that the United States government calls a response to an “extraordinary threat.” The true threat, however, is not military. It is the 67-year defiance of a small island nation that has refused to relinquish its sovereignty.

ICE Tactics Prompt Concern Over Canadian Complicity

January 31, 2026 Bridget Potasky, Rabble.ca. Educate! Accountability, Canada, Corporations, Human Rights, ICE

So far in 2026, Minneapolis has recorded three homicides. Two of those deaths were at the hands of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officers. As part of President Donald Trump’s broader crackdown on purportedly illegal immigration, at the end of 2025 the Trump administration launched Operation Metro Surge in Minneapolis and St. Paul, Minnesota. This operation resulted in 2,000 federal agents from both ICE and U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) being deployed in what the government described as the “largest immigration operation ever.”

DHS Turns Warehouses Into Mass Detention Camps

January 27, 2026 Julia Norman, Consortium News. Educate! Concentration Camps, Department of Homeland Security, Detention Centers, Human Rights, ICE

The Department of Homeland Security’s (D.H.S.) warehouse detention system is rapidly unfolding across the United States, advancing in open contempt of oversight, outpacing public scrutiny, and operating with the same disregard for the Constitution, the rule of law, and human life that defines the Trump administration’s exercise of power. In November 2025, NBC News reported that D.H.S. was actively scouting enormous industrial warehouses across the country, particularly in rural areas near major airports and transportation hubs, in an effort to expand the administration’s capacity to execute its mass deportation agenda — a system Secretary Noem recently aptly described as “one of the most consequential periods of action and reform in American history.”

Unabated US Prisoner Abuse

January 17, 2026 John Kiriakou, Consortium News. Educate! Human Rights, Prisons, Torture, United States

I’m a regular writer on prison conditions across the United States. Stated plainly, all Americans should be ashamed of the states of U.S. prisons, whether at the federal, state or local levels. Overall prison conditions, medical care, poor food quality, violence, the use of solitary confinement as a punishment, drug and other contraband sales by guards, and sexual abuse are on par with some of the worst prison systems in the world. Indeed, they are akin to the situation in many underdeveloped countries. The conventional wisdom in the United States is that the federal system is better than state and local prison systems and, if you must go to prison, you should want to be a federal facility.

World Cup Boycott Calls Grow In Response To Trump

The drums of protest and calls to boycott the 2026 FIFA World Cup are beating louder in the United States. Thousands of fans are expressing concern about the tournament’s security, outrage over the armed attack in Venezuela, and the controversial human rights policies of the Donald Trump administration. According to European media, messages promoting ticket cancellations on resale forums, travel agencies, and hotel booking sites have not only prompted extraordinary meetings between officials and representatives of member associations, but have also generated discussions about potential strategies to address the shifting perceptions surrounding the tournament.

‘Phytomining’ Could Put The Green In The Green Transition

January 1, 2026 Sarah DeWeerdt, The Tyee. Create! Environment, Green Transition, Human Rights, minerals, Mining, Phytomining

Alpine pennycress is a charming little plant. Its low-growing rosette of green leaves is topped by leggy stalks bearing clusters of pinkish-white flowers. As they develop, these flowers transform into beautiful flattened seed pods that, in the words of botanist Liz Rylott from the United Kingdom’s University of York, “resemble a British old penny.” But alpine pennycress (Noccaea caerulescens) is notable for far more than its penny disguise. The plant is one of a select group — representing just 0.21 per cent of the world’s known vascular plant species — that have evolved the ability to pull impressive amounts of valuable metals out of the soil.

The Right To Development Is An Inalienable Human Right

Nearly sixty years ago, in January 1966, hundreds of revolutionaries from across the Third World gathered in Havana, Cuba, for the First Solidarity Conference of the Peoples of Africa, Asia, and Latin America – the Tricontinental Conference. There, they discussed the inevitability of decolonisation and their ideas for a world beyond imperialism. Fidel Castro and the other organisers called the conference to bring together the two currents of world revolution: the current of socialist revolution and that of national liberation. The delegates saw the need to radicalise the ideals of sovereignty that had been given voice ten years earlier at the Bandung Conference.

A People’s Orientation To The Praxis Of People(S)-Centered Human Rights

Since the launch of the North-South Project for People(s)-Centered Human Rights (North South Project) last year, the framework has been steadily increasing in the global lexicon. The framework itself was produced by Black Alliance for Peace (BAP) founder, Ajamu Baraka, who is also the Director of the North South Project, as a direct result of his observations and practice as a long-time human rights activist. Baraka’s observations and practice was systematized into what he refers to as, “the Black radical human rights tradition that is people(s)-centered - hence People(s)-Centered Human Rights (PCHRs).

Lifting The Veil On International Human Rights Day

December 15, 2025 Ajamu Baraka, Black Agenda Report. Educate! colonization, Fascism, Human Rights, International Human Rights Day, People's Centered Human Rights

The notion that the “West,” responsible for the most horrific crimes in the annals of human history, could somehow be associated with the defense of something they called human rights was always an obscene proposition. But with the assistance of the human rights industry, which is infused with Eurocentrism and white saviorism, the collective West was given ideological cover to continue its project of racist plunder and colonial fascism after fascist forces were partially defeated in Europe with the end of the second imperialist war in 1945. Outside of Europe, in the colonized world where fascism was originally born and practiced as a value extraction process that materially created the “West,” colonial fascism continued but was given a new face and tagline.

Year In Rear View: What The Lack Of Principled And Pronounced Opposition Reveals About US Left

Nearly one year into President Trump’s second term, residents of the United States and the world over have witnessed a louder and faster drumbeat towards full-blown and irrefutable fascism and authoritarianism. We have seen our streets and neighborhoods invaded by masked agents of the State from the Immigration Customs and Enforcement (ICE) division of the Department of Homeland Security who are conducting wholesale roundups and pillage of non-white people from their families, places of employment, and communities, national guard troops patrol streets in many of our cities adding to a culture of fear and uncertainty, especially for non white poor and working class people.

YouTube Wipes UK Journalist’s Archive After Israeli-Linked Pressure

In February 2024, YouTube unexpectedly removed the account of independent British journalist Robert Inlakesh, a frequent contributor to Al Mayadeen English, The Intercept reported. His channel held dozens of videos, including many livestreams documenting Israeli occupation in the West Bank. Over roughly ten years covering developments in occupied Palestine, he filmed Israeli forces tearing down Palestinian homes, police stopping and intimidating Palestinian drivers, and soldiers firing at Palestinians and journalists during demonstrations outside illegal settlements. All of that footage vanished instantly.

Last Wednesday, December 3, groups of stalwart campaigners gathered across the US and around the world for the 35th monthly global vigils for the closure of the “war on terror” prison at Guantánamo Bay. The “First Wednesday” vigils took place outside the White House in Washington, D.C., and in London, New York City, Brussels, Detroit, Los Angeles and Portland, OR, with former prisoner Mansoor Adayfi also holding a solo vigil in Belgrade. Further vigils took place in Cobleskill, NY on Saturday December 6, and outside the Howard Zinn Book Fair in San Francisco on Sunday December 7.

Gaza Reveals How Britain Is Run

December 2, 2025 Mark Curtis and Laura Pidcock, Consortium News. Strategize! Britain, Gaza, Genocide, Human Rights, United Kingdom (UK)

British history. Its political system has utterly failed to confront a genocide. Rather, that system has allowed the British establishment to be complicit in one of the worst horrors of our time — Israel’s two-year offensive against Palestinians, complete with ethnic cleansing, systematic attacks on schools and hospitals, and crimes against humanity. Now, under a current supposed ceasefire, Israel is still killing Palestinians and their plight in Gaza remains dire, as the world sees the extent of the mass destruction visited on them. Throughout the attacks on Palestinians in Gaza, British leaders have actively cooperated with Israel in their military, trade and diplomatic policies.
