One year ago today, Julian Assange began his 48-hour journey to freedom, leaving Belmarsh prison in the United Kingdom and boarding a jet bound for Australia via the remote U.S. island of Saipan. β€œ365 days have passed, but we are light years away from Belmarsh prison. To all the supporters who helped make this possible β€” there are no words to express how grateful we are to have Julian free.” - Stella Assange

Rwandan troops are still operating in #EasternDRC & supporting M23, thus violating the sovereignty of the #DRC. Therefore, Germany’s @BMZ_Bund is putting new financial commitments on hold & currently reviewing our bilateral development cooperation with #Rwanda.
Wir verurteilen das Vorgehen Ruandas und der M23 im Ostkongo aufs SchΓ€rfste. Die Verletzung der Waffenruhe und SouverΓ€nitΓ€t der DR Kongo ist inakzeptabel. Deutschland friert neue finanzielle Verpflichtungen fΓΌr #Ruanda ein und ΓΌberprΓΌft die laufende bilaterale Zusammenarbeit.

Heavy fighting around Goma in eastern #DRCongo has forced huge numbers of people out of their homes in recent days, many of them previously displaced. IOM's priority is to urgently scale up life-saving assistance and calls for full humanitarian access to all those in need.

The violence in Kinshasa today is deeply troubling with civilians bearing the brunt of attacks and diplomatic missions targeted. These attacks are unacceptable. The protection of civilians and diplomatic staff should be guaranteed.

Sons, daughters, mothers, fathers, friends, neighbors, grandparents: more than one million individuals with dreams and hopes were murdered in Auschwitz by Germans. We mourn their deaths. And express our deepest sympathy. Weβ€˜ll never forget them. Not today, not tomorrow.

Human trafficking is a crime against humanity and can have a long lasting impact on survivors. IOM works with governments to tackle human trafficking and support survivors to reintegrate and rebuild their lives - giving them an opportunity to lead a life of safety and dignity.

I never imagined we would see the day when what appears to be a Heil Hitler salute would be made behind the Presidential seal. This abhorrent gesture has no place in our society and belongs in the darkest chapters of human history. I urge all of my colleagues to unite in condemning this hateful gesture for what it is: antisemitism.
Billionaire Elon Musk gave what appeared to be a fascist salute Monday while making a speech at the post-inauguration celebration for President Donald Trump at the Capital One Arena. β€œSome elections are important, some are not. But this one, this one really mattered and I just want to say thank you for making it happen,” Musk said before putting his hand on his chest and then raising it in a salute that appeared similar to the β€œSieg Heil” used by Nazis at their victory rallies. β€œIt is thanks to you that the future of civilization is assured," Musk said. Trump named Musk and entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy to lead the "Department of Government Efficiency," an outside commission aimed at identifying federal programs and spending to cut. After Trump was sworn in, multiple lawsuits were filed against the Trump administration claiming that the move violates federal transparency laws.
