A new 26 October 2026 UN report concludes: Israel is perpetrating crimes against humanity against Palestinians in the West Bank, including gang rape. Some new findings revealed: Since its March 2025 report on Israel’s systemic use of sexual, reproductive and other forms of gender-based violence, 4 more cases of sexual violence in Israel's rape dungeons have been documented, including gang rape, genital violence, groping of breasts and threats of sexual violence, forced nudity: ⏩ In 2025, in the Meggido prison, a Palestinian male victim was blindfolded, forced to remove his underpants. He was force to bend over on his knees exposing his genitals to male and female prison guards. He was then gang raped multiple times with objects while prison guards mocked and photographed him, squeezed his penis threatening him it would be cut off until he screamed in pain. He was also threatened that family members and colleagues would be raped. The victim sustained serious injuries, including bleeding from the rectum, for which he did not receive any medical treatment. ⏩ In 2025, a pregnant Palestinian woman was subjected to multiple strip searches accompanied by beatings. While in Damon prison, she was made to undress completely while a female guard touched and looked inside her vagina and anus while humiliating her. As a result of inadequate nutrition, compounded by mistreatment in detention, she was unable to produce breastmilk for her infant once released. ⏩ Another woman was subjected to multiple invasive body searches and forced nudity during her detention and interrogation at Jalma Interrogation Center and Damon prison. On one occasion, she was made to undress, unveil and was searched in the presence of male guards. On another occasion, female soldiers touched her breasts, made her squat naked while they looked inside her vagina and anus. During her interrogation, she was subjected to beatings, denied access to the toilet. Your friendly reminder that Israel operates the most well-documented network of rape dungeons on earth.
UN Human Rights Council report: "Israel has committed war crimes and the crimes against humanity of extermination, persecution, torture, rape and other forms of sexual violence in the Occupied Palestinian Territory, intentionally targeting Palestinian civilians as it continues to commit genocide in Gaza." ohchr.org/en/press-releases/…

Kenya is becoming the headquarters of foreign abductions. We can no longer guarantee the safety of our brothers and sisters fleeing persecution in their own countries. We used to be a safe harbour for those seeking refuge. What happened to that Kenya? #FreeTwahaMwaipaya

Mosiria was the only County official who tried to fight cartels. The only officer that Nairobians knew and could call. Sad that the incompetent Governor sacked him. Why exactly do you sack the most hardworking person in your government and replace him with fellow inconpetents?

Rising cost of living, regressive taxation, debt servicing, and corruption fuelled public anger in Kenya. But when Kenyans took to the streets demanding change, the state responded with repression and a crackdown on dissent. Watch our explainer and read the full report, Human Rights Under Siege, to understand what must change. amnestykenya.org/human-right…

It was reckless for Ida Odinga to claim that Luo children had become goons& 4 Ruth Odinga to claim that Odingaism will continue whether we like it or not.I know 100s of Luos and they arent goons. This is ethnic profiling. In 2027, we must do way with this thankless Odinga dynasty
