More Than 170 US Citizens Have Been Held By Immigration Agents

When the Supreme Court recently allowed immigration agents in the Los Angeles area to take race into consideration during sweeps, Justice Brett Kavanaugh said that citizens shouldn’t be concerned. “If the officers learn that the individual they stopped is a U.S. citizen or otherwise lawfully in the United States,” Kavanaugh wrote, “they promptly let the individual go.” But that is far from the reality many citizens have experienced. Americans have been dragged, tackled, beaten, tased and shot by immigration agents. They’ve had their necks kneeled on.

On Friday, Venezuela’s ambassador to the United Nations, Samuel Moncada, alerted the UN Security Council that Venezuela strongly believes a US military attack is imminent. He characterized the situation as the latest aggression in decades-long attempts to oust first President Hugo Chávez and now President Nicolás Maduro. “The plan is clear,” he said during an emergency meeting. “It is once again about executing the operation that already failed: overthrowing the legitimate and constitutional President of Venezuela, Nicolás Maduro Moros, to install a puppet regime and turn our country into a colony.” When questioned by the press, Moncada elaborated on the sense of urgency.

Is The UN Charter Worth The Paper It’s Written On?

Before raining bombs and missiles on Korea, Iraq, Libya, and Syria, the US at least requested authorization from the UN Security Council (UNSC) in accordance with the UN Charter, sometimes getting it, sometimes not. This year it skipped that nicety altogether, bombing Iran without so much as a call to Secretary General Antonio Guterres. Israel didn’t bother to make its case either, knowing that the US had its back. The US did send the Council a ridiculous explanation after the fact. It said it had to neutralize an Iranian nuclear threat and claimed its inherent right of self-defense and collective self-defense with its ally Israel, citing the Charter’s Article 51. However, Article 51 reads, “Nothing in the present Charter shall impair the inherent right of individual or collective self-defence if an armed attack occurs against a Member of the United Nations . . .”

Pro-Palestinian activists who were on board the Global Sumud Flotilla reported being mistreated by Israeli authorities following their arrest last week. One Spanish activist, Goretti Sarasibar, told Reuters after his deportation that the detainees were forced to watch videos of Hamas’s attack on 7 October 2023. “They didn’t give us food all day,” he said. “Now we are super happy eating, as we were starving.” Dutch activist Marco Tesh said he could not breathe at one point “because they put something to my face and they tied my hands to my back.” Another one of the deported activists, Rafael Borrego, said, “At any time that any of us called a police officer, we risked that seven or more fully armed people entered to our cell, as they did on mine, pointing us with weapons at our heads, with dogs ready to attack us, and being dragged to the floor.”

Reports are emerging that Israeli authorities have abused activist Greta Thunberg while illegally holding her in detention. Greta Thunberg beaten by Israeli authorities On Saturday 4 October, the Israeli occupation authorities deported 137 of the kidnapped international solidarity activists who participated in the Global Sumud Flotilla to break the humanitarian siege on Gaza, in the second deportation operation in a matter of days, after returning four Italians to their country on Friday 3 October. One of the deported activists who arrived at Istanbul airport on Saturday recounted shocking details of what he described as ‘brutal assaults’ on some activists during their detention

Demonstrations swept through 11 cities in Morocco over the weekend, with thousands protesting the government’s corruption and expenditure policies. The government has been slammed for prioritizing international sporting events over basic public services, including health care, education, and employment. Although anti-government protests calling for reform have been on the rise in the Maghreb nation during the past few months, the current rallies are marked by participation of groups representing a wide spectrum of social and political backgrounds, and from different ages. The voices of students blended together with those of trade unionists, and families, forming a holistic protest scene, and reflecting a unifying spirit. This in turn confirms that daily social justice concerns are not confined to a single group, but is rather a popular demand. However, young “leaderless” organizers calling themselves the Gen Z 212, are believed to have organized the nationwide protests via social media networks.

A week since protests began in Ecuador against the decision by Daniel Noboa’s right-wing government to eliminate the diesel subsidy, nearly 100 people have been detained and one person was killed by police repression. The nationwide protests kicked off after Marlon Vargas, president of the Confederation of Indigenous Nationalities of Ecuador (CONAIE), Ecuador’s most important social movement, called on all sectors of society to take to the streets and reject the move by Noboa. On September 28, the news broke that 46-year-old worker Efraín Fueres died during the protests in Cotacachi, in the province of Imbabura. According to CONAIE, Fueres was killed by the military after being shot three times. “We demand truth, justice, and reparations. This state crime will not go unpunished. There is no turning back or forgiveness for state crimes,” CONAIE wrote on X.

Conscientious Objection Highlighted In Recent United Nations Reports

September 17, 2025 War Resisters' International. Resist! Conscientious Objection, Human Rights, UN General Assembly, United Nations (UN)

These reports reaffirm that conscientious objection is a recognised human right within UN frameworks. Crucially, they link conscientious objection to refugee protection and non-refoulement, underlining that objectors facing persecution must be granted safety. For advocates, these references are valuable tools: they can be cited in policy dialogue, asylum cases, and international advocacy to press governments to respect the right to refuse military service, to provide genuine alternatives, and to end the punishment of objectors. By embedding conscientious objection into the broader UN human rights agenda, these reports strengthen the case for protecting COs everywhere, especially in times of war.

Display Of ‘Humiliation’: Israeli Army Detains Over 1,000 Palestinians

September 13, 2025 Qassam Muaddi, Mondoweiss. Educate! Human Rights, Israel, Palestine, Prison, West Bank

Israeli forces arrested at least 1,000 Palestinians in a single day on Thursday during a wide-ranging raid on Tulkarem in the northern West Bank, Abdullah Kamil, the governor of the Tulkarem area, told local media. The raid came following a roadside bomb attack on an armored Israeli military vehicle earlier in the day, taking place near a checkpoint outside the city. The attack wounded two Israeli soldiers, according to the Israeli army radio. Kamil added that Israeli forces imposed a total closure on Tulkarem and conducted a campaign of home searches across the city, describing it as a “systematic policy.” The explosion that targeted the armored vehicle as it exited Checkpoint 104, west of Tulkarem, was the first armed Palestinian action in the northern West Bank since the Israeli army forcibly expelled the residents of the refugee camps of Tulkarem and Jenin from their homes earlier this year.

Trinidad And Tobago Fishermen Fear Being Targeted By US Empire’s Strikes

The Tobago Fishermen’s Association has expressed deep concern over the “deafening” official silence from Chief Secretary Farley Augustine regarding the recent violent actions of the US empire in the Caribbean Sea. The recent attack on a small boat allegedly carrying drugs has generated fear among coastal communities. Fishermen now worry that future operations could mistake them for criminals, creating an atmosphere of fear and mistrust. They are demanding clear responses and safety guarantees. President of the All Tobago Fisherfolk Association, Curtis Douglas, confirmed this Monday, September 8, that fishermen found debris believed to be from the destroyed boat washed into Trinidadian waters.

Lawsuit Implores International Court To Halt US Funding Of Gaza Genocide

Taxpayers Against Genocide (TAG) filed a petition in May to the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights requesting that it investigate the United States for its material support of Israel’s war crimes and that it order the U.S. to immediately halt all military aid and weapons transfers to Israel. The grassroots group submitted the petition on behalf of Palestinian Americans with family and close ties to Gaza and other U.S. taxpayers opposed to Washington’s use of public funds to support genocide and crimes against the Palestinians. IACHR is a principle and autonomous organ of the Organization of American States whose mission is to promote and protect human rights in the American hemisphere.

Propaganda 101: The Illusion Of Truth

September 9, 2025 Rifat Audeh, Popular Resistance. Educate! Accountability, Human Rights, Israel, Media, Palestine, Propaganda, War crimes

The Israeli crimes perpetrated AFTER October 7th 2023 represent the reason why the October 7th events unfolded. You read that correctly, but I’ll say it again: the Israeli crimes perpetrated AFTER October 7th are why the heroic Palestinian resistance (i.e. Hamas) attacked the Nazi Zionist apartheid terrorist entity to begin with. But what happened on October 7th? This is something that’s been discussed extensively; discussed honestly only in rare cases, but distorted, misinterpreted and lied about the vast majority of the time. This is because the doctrine/policy of (pro-)Israeli propagandists and their allies – the prostitutes of propaganda- such as CNN, the BBC, Fox News, Talk TV and countless others, conforms to the Nazi practices of Hitler and his minister Joseph Goebbels.

United Nations Turns Eighty

September 5, 2025 Vijay Prashad, Tricontinental: Institute for Social Research. Educate! Global South, History, Human Rights, United Nations (UN)

There is only one treaty in the world that, despite its limitations, binds nations together: the United Nations Charter. Representatives of fifty nations wrote and ratified the UN Charter in 1945, with others joining in the years that followed. The charter itself only sets the terms for the behaviour of nations. It does not and cannot create a new world. It depends on individual nations to either live by the charter or die without it. The charter remains incomplete. It needed a Universal Declaration of Human Rights in 1948, and even that was contested as political and civil rights had to eventually be separated from the social and economic rights. Deep rifts in political visions created fissures in the UN system that have kept it from effectively addressing problems in the world.

Pro-Palestine Political Prisoners On Hunger Strike Are Dying

Political prisoner T. Hoxha is dying. She is on her 18th day of hunger strike in HMP Peterborough in protest of the prison’s politically-targeted abuses. One of the Filton 24 detained indefinitely under the UK’s “Terrorism Act” while awaiting trial next spring, Hoxha is alleged to have participated in the heroic dismantling of an Elbit Systems weapons factory, causing €1 million in damages. Over two weeks into her strike, Hoxha’s loved ones report that her physical and mental health is deteriorating fast, her hair is falling out, her jaw is in pain, and her brain fog is worsening, while the prison neglects her medical care. Supporters on the outside are organizing a call-in campaign to demand the prison administration give her electrolyte sachets and meet her demands.

President Donald Trump claimed Tuesday that US troops deployed to the Caribbean attacked and destroyed a “drug ship” that had left Venezuela. “Just a few minutes ago, literally, we shot down a vessel that was carrying drugs, a large amount of drugs. You’ll see it and read about it. It just happened moments ago,” the US president said at a press conference in the Oval Office. He said he had just been briefed on the matter by the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, General Daniel “Razin” Caine. “We have a lot of drugs coming into our country, coming in for a long time, and they just came out of Venezuela… A lot of things are coming out of Venezuela, so we got rid of them,” Trump said.
