Kuwait Must Release The Journalist Ahmed Shihab-Eldin

April 14, 2026 Chris Hedges, Substack. , , ,
Ahmed Shihab-Eldin, a fearless Palestinian-American journalist whose writing and reports are defined by unparalleled integrity, depth and eloquence, was arrested on March 3 in Kuwait. He is charged with spreading false information and harming national security. His arrest took place following his reporting of the shooting down of three U.S. fighter planes by the Kuwaiti military in an act of friendly fire during the US-Israel war with Iran. Ahmed, along with other news outlets such as the BBC, published footage of a US F-15 E Strike Eagle crashing in al-Jahra west of Kuwait City.

A coalition of media associations, press freedom groups, and civil liberties organizations urged members of Congress to withdraw a subpoena against journalist Seth Harp. They also called out Republican Representative Anna Paulina Luna, who proposed the subpoena and then referred Harp to the Justice Department for prosecution.  “The subpoena has few parallels or precedents in recent history and poses a grave danger to the First Amendment’s guarantee of press freedom,” the coalition declared in a letter [PDF] addressed to the House of Representatives. 

FBI Visits Journalist For Publishing Alleged Shooter’s Manifesto

May 28, 2025 Michael Arria, Mondoweiss. , , ,
Last week, U.S. journalist Ken Klippenstein was visited by the FBI. The Feds showed up at Klippenstein’s place because he published the so-called manifesto of Elias Rodriguez, who is suspected of killing two Israeli Embassy staffers, on his Substack. As Klippenstein points out in his post about the incident, any mainstream outlet could have published the manifesto, but has chosen not to. “The media just doesn’t want to publish it,” he notes. “And the FBI doesn’t want the media to think it can.” He says the agents were “aggressive and threatening.” They asked him 11 questions about the manifesto, most of them connected to how he obtained it and whether he had any additional knowledge about Rodriguez.

Yves Engler: We Won

March 4, 2025 Yves Engler, Orinoco Tribune. , , , , , , , ,
After spending five days imprisoned, I was released without restriction on my ability to discuss the charges brought against me for criticizing Israel. It’s a small win for free expression and Palestine campaigning. In court on Monday the judge effectively forced the crown to drop its bid to block me from mentioning arch anti Palestinian Dahlia Kurtz. The crown wanted to restrict my ability to mention the name of the Jewish supremacist who instigated a police complaint against me. The outpouring of support has been heartwarming and helpful. On Thursday morning 30 joined an emergency rally to accompany me to the police station where I was detained.

Letter From Gaza: ‘We Prefer To Die Standing Than To Give Up’

October 17, 2023 Ahmed Issa, Workers' World. , , , ,
I am from occupied Palestine. I live in the Gaza Strip. I am married and have two children, Bassam, five years old, and Adam, two years old. I’m 30 years old. My family has lived in Gaza since 1948 as a result of the forcible displacement of my grandparents from their hometown Ashdod. All my life, I’ve dreamed of returning to my homeland. In 2020-2021, I secured the Chevening Award funded by the U.K. government to study MSc Marketing and Strategy at Warwick Business School in the U.K., which is considered one of the top universities in the world. After I completed my masters in 2022, I returned to Palestine to work as communication coordinator with GGateway, a social enterprise that aims at assisting unemployed youth.
