Free Fergie Chambers: Solidarity Is Not A Crime

September 9, 2026 Libertad para Fergie, Black Agenda Report. , , , , , ,
He remains in a Spanish prison, accused of participating in a protest against the Israeli arms company Elbit Systems and of an alleged crime of money laundering related to the financing of Palestinian organizations. Fergie is innocent. Their only «crime» has been promoting humanitarian projects to help the people of Gaza, financing bakeries, medical clinics, drinking water infrastructure and other essential aid initiatives for thousands of families. His acts of solidarity and his firm defense of the rights of the Palestinian people made him a target for those who consider solidarity a crime.

Learning From COINTELPRO’s Survivors: Accountability And Repair

September 1, 2026 Kazu Haga, Convergence Magazine. , , ,
“Stiner,” a San Quentin Prison correctional officer yelled. “You’ve got mail.” Nearly fifty years after COINTELPRO tore through the Black liberation movement, Watani Stiner found himself staring at a letter he was afraid to open.  On the envelope was a name he never expected to see: Ericka Huggins. Although Watani had not pulled the trigger that killed Ericka’s husband, the Black Panther Party leader John Huggins, as well as another party leader, Alprentice “Bunchy” Carter, he had known for decades that there was some accountability for having been part of something larger that made such violence possible.

We Must Act With The Same Moral Courage As Dr. Hussam Abu Saffiya

July 27, 2026 National Single Payer, Counter Punch. , , , ,
National Single Payer, a national, grassroots organization joined by the principles that health care is a human right, must be free from profit, and will be achieved through national legislation, endorses the appeal issued by Doctors Against Genocide for immediate international action on behalf of Dr. Hussam Abu Safiya, a Palestinian pediatrician detained by Israeli Occupation Forces in December 2024 because he refused to abandon his patients under his care. We call on every government, medical association, hospital, university, humanitarian organization, and elected official to demand his immediate release.

Supporters Gather Outside President Maduro And First Lady Flores Hearing

July 26, 2026 Fight Back! News. , , , ,
New York City , NY – Early on the morning of Wednesday, July 22, dozens of anti-war activists and community members gathered facing the courthouse in downtown Manhattan for the federal hearing of President Nicolás Maduro and First Lady Cilia Flores. This was the third hearing after the abduction of Maduro and Flores from their home in Caracas on January 3. The Trump administration carried out a bombing campaign that killed around 80 people in their pursuit of the president and first lady. They were brought to the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn, New York, where they are awaiting a sham trial.

Israel Is Murdering Dr. Hussam Abu Safiya

July 8, 2026 James North, Mondoweiss. , , , , ,
By now, editors at the New York Times and producers at CNN are surely squirming over what to do about Dr. Hussam Abu Safiya, the Gazan doctor and hospital director who Israel has locked up for a year and a half without trial, and who says his jailers are trying to kill him. Worldwide campaigns, by Amnesty International and other human rights groups, have called for Dr. Abu Safiya’s release and global media coverage has been significant. Britain’s flagship newspaper, the Guardian, has naturally already reported about Dr. Abu Safiya. Here is its July 6 headline: “Detained Gaza doctor almost unrecognisable after injuries in Israel jail, lawyer says.”

Dr. Hussam Abu Safia Faces Risk Of Death In Israeli Prison

July 5, 2026 News Desk, The Cradle. , , , , ,
Dr. Hussam Abu Safia, the Kamal Adwan Hospital director who was abducted from Gaza by Israel in late 2024, is facing an immediate risk of death due to the torture and severe negligence he has been subjected to by his jailers, the physician’s lawyer said on 4 July.  “Alarming new information conveyed by … Abu Safia's lawyer, in cooperation with Physicians for Human Rights, conclusively demonstrates that Israeli occupation authorities are intensifying direct targeting of Dr. Abu Safia by subjecting him to systematic torture and harsh detention conditions,” Palestinian Prisoners’ Club (PPC) said.

No One Should Be In Jail Because They’re Poor

It was a chilly spring day when Nicole, now a 31-year-old medical social worker in Tulsa, Oklahoma, opened an unsolicited letter from a criminal defense attorney. The letter informed her that she had been charged with a felony and might have a warrant for her arrest. Nicole had never had a run-in with the law. A single mother of three, she had spent her career helping others navigate the very systems she now found herself caught in. An eyewitness to a robbery had identified her as a suspect. Soon after, she was formally charged. A judge set her bail at $50,000.

Building Systems Of Mutual Aid After Prison

June 25, 2026 Chris Hedges Report Documentaries, Scheer Post. , , , ,
America’s prison system does not end at the prison gate. For millions of formerly incarcerated people, release marks the beginning of another sentence—one enforced not by prison guards, but by laws, discrimination, economic exclusion, and a political system that too often values punishment over rehabilitation. While politicians routinely invoke the language of “second chances,” returning citizens face barriers to housing, employment, education, voting, and even basic dignity that make successful reentry deliberately difficult.

Global Sumud Flotilla Releases Horrific, Newly Emerging Testimonies

May 25, 2026 the Global Sumud Flotilla. , , , ,
 As civilian participants from the Global Sumud Flotilla (GSF) begin landing in their respective home countries and some continue their recovery in Istanbul, the full, devastating scale of the violence executed by the israeli Occupation Forces (iOF) is being laid bare. Following the most recent unlawful interception of the flotilla in international waters on 18 May, newly emerging and harrowing testimonies confirm a coordinated campaign of systematic torture, severe physical and psychological trauma, and targeted gender-based and sexual violence. 

Flotilla Participants Released!

May 22, 2026 James Marc Leas, Substack. , , ,
Under widespread condemnation for its vicious treatment of Flotilla activists, the Israeli government released and deported all 430 participants it had abducted from sailboats earlier in the week. They arrived in Istanbul at around 10:30 am EDT today, Thursday, May 21. On Tuesday evening, Israeli forces finished illegally seized the Lina, the last of the more than 50 boats of the Global Sumud Flotilla and the Freedom Flotilla Coalition as they were sailing towards Gaza in international waters. The heavily armed Israeli commandos illegally forced the activists onto a prison ship which brought them to the port of Ashdod in Israel.

By 8pm local time on May 19, 2026, the last ten boats of the 2026 Gaza flotilla had been illegally seized by the Israeli military in international water approximately 118 nautical miles from Gaza. The last boat to be seized of the 54 boat flotilla was the Gaza Freedom Flotilla Coalition (FFC)’s boat named “Lina.” The flotilla boats had been sailing toward Gaza in the largest civilian flotilla in the history of support for Palestinians in Gaza and the West Bank attempting to break the illegal Israeli naval blockade of Gaza.  The “Lina” has a remarkable history. 

The Case Of Dr. Abu Safiya And Gaza’s Broken Medical System

April 8, 2026 Ramzy Baroud, AntiWar.com. , , , ,
“Israel must immediately release Gazan doctor Dr. Hussam Abu Safiya,” UN experts said in a recent statement, in unequivocal terms. Dr. Abu Safiya was “subjected to torture and other cruel and degrading treatment,” they said. His health condition is “dire.” Many are already familiar with the iconic Palestinian doctor from Gaza. But the deserved and urgent focus on his case should not end with him. Rather, it should illuminate the broader catastrophe afflicting Gaza’s health sector – one deliberately dismantled as part of the ongoing genocide that began on October 7, 2023.

UN Experts Demand Release Of Gaza Doctor Abu Safiya

March 25, 2026 Mera Aladam, Middle East Eye. , , , , , ,
Two United Nations experts have called on Israel to immediately release Palestinian doctor Hussam Abu Safiya from detention following reports that he had been subjected to "severe torture".  Special Rapporteurs Tlaleng Mofokeng and Ben Saul said on Tuesday that the former director of the Kamal Adwan Hospital in north Gaza faced severe torture and "other cruel and degrading treatment", leaving him in a "dire" health condition. “The conditions of his detention appear to be flagrantly arbitrary and manifestly inconsistent with the Mandela Rules, which establish the obligation of states to ensure prisoners have access to healthcare," they added. 

The Meaning Of Maduro In Metropolitan Detention

February 27, 2026 Quincy Saul, Counter Punch. , , ,
I traveled all day to get there, to the prison where the leader of the Bolivarian process is held hostage. It was early January, only a week after Nicolas Maduro and his wife Cilia Flores were kidnapped from Caracas, Venezuela and flown to the prison where they are still held in the Empire State. It has taken me more than a month to write and rewrite this, struggling to distill meaning and method from this madness and mayhem which in today’s world runs the risk of appearing almost mundane – nothing to see here folks! Just another entry in the archive of outrages.

24 years after 9/11, 15 Still Imprisoned In US Military Prison At Guantanamo

On January 11, 2026, thousands of citizens of many countries held vigils for the 15 men still in the U.S. military prison at the U.S. Naval Base, Guantanamo, Cuba.  As these citizens have done for over two decades, from London to Washington, DC to Honolulu, Hawaii, they are the voices of conscience for one of the most brutal episodes in U.S. history, the torture and imprisonment of hundreds of men who had nothing to do with the events of September 11, 2001. 24 Years Ago, xxxx days ago On January 11, 2002, twenty-four years ago, the first twenty detainees from Afghanistan arrived by military aircraft to the U.S. Naval Base in Guantanamo, Cuba.
