Summary of Tommy Robinson’s harassment trial.
The jury was sworn in.
Prosecutors allege that Robinson used “bullyboy, intimidatory tactics” against two MailOnline journalists by sharing images of their homes on social media, prompting threats from his supporters.
Jurors were shown posts by Robinson and his supporters, some encouraging the publication of the journalists’ personal details. Ring doorbell footage showed a grey Audi, with a man inside, parked outside journalist Andrew Young’s home for at least two hours.
The journalists feared for their safety, and Robinson allegedly told one of them that he would have to move house.
The court also heard a journalists received several threatening messages, including: “Hey, got a good look at your face today. Can’t wait to see your face when I beat the ever-loving fuck out of you. Watch your back. Holy shit, you’re a cyclist too.”

UN: In the West Bank, over the past 2 weeks, five Palestinians were killed and over 240 injured by Israeli forces or settlers, with 74% of injuries occurring in the context of settler attacks.
No justice for them - not even this performative ‘justice’ to keep EU officials happy
Israeli police arrested 10 people in connection with attacks on an American photojournalist and foreign diplomats by West Bank settlers, an incident that’s stoked European and US calls for a crackdown. bloomberg.com/news/articles/…
Thank you Leopoldo 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
For the 143rd week, 66 prisons will be taking part in the #NoDeathPenaltyTuesdays mass hunger strikes for the abolition of the death penalty tomorrow.
I am joining a solidarity action with political prisoners in Iran participating in #NoToExecutionTuesdays. At 12 am Iran time, I'm going to start a 24-hour #hungerstrike #Iran

The scale of Iran’s use of the death penalty for political reasons is alarming. Amnesty International recorded at least 2,159 executions in 2025, the highest annual figure it has recorded in the country since 1981.
In 2026, at least 34 people have been executed in connection with the January protests, including five in just one week between 30 September and 5 October.
Information I have received also reveals a particularly troubling dimension for my mandate. At least 46 political prisoners and protesters reportedly executed since 19 March 2026: 37 arrested during protests and nine targeted in connection with alleged opposition affiliation. More than 100 others are reportedly on death row.
Offences such as baghi (armed rebellion), moharebeh (enmity against god) and efsad-e fel-arz (corruption on earth) are being used in cases where protest, political expression and alleged opposition affiliation are intertwined with capital charges.
History makes these warning signs impossible to ignore. In 1988, around 30,000 political prisoners were executed or forcibly disappeared in one of the darkest chapters of Iran’s recent history. Former UN Special Rapporteur Javaid Rehman subsequently concluded that the summary, arbitrary and extrajudicial executions and enforced disappearances amounted to crimes against humanity.
Iran must immediately halt executions, commute death sentences, review cases that fail to meet fair-trial standards and investigate allegations of torture.
Political opinion, criticism, peaceful protest and association must never become capital offences.

He says the name just fine when he’s begging the Qataris for a personal jet or the Saudis for funding for his son-in-law’s private equity firm.
Wonder what’s changed?
1. They wouldn’t have been able to use Pahlavi’s likeness like this without his approval.
2. Noor liked it because being a foreign state puppet is literally their family legacy: from her great grandfather to her grandfather to now, her father. They’re a a family of proud puppets.
شما ديگه چرا لايك كرديد اينو؟😐😐
@NoorPahlavi
اين ويدئو علاوه بر اينكه در شأن يك كسي كه قرار شاه بشه نيست، بلكه توهين واضح و مشخصي به استقلال يك فردِ سياسيه!
اگر حتي از درك چنين مسائل ساده اي ناتوانيد، واي به حال بسيار مسائل پيچيده ديگر كشوري!
خدايا چه چيز هايي داريم ميبينيم ما!
They want us to sit back and let them ethnically cleanse and colonise the entire region without resistance. Zionism is a racist colonial ideology and it should be annihilated like all racist colonial ideologies.
Israeli Defense Minister Katz on Lebanon:
'60 villages destroyed. 23,000 houses demolished. 200,000 residents gone. This is the Gaza model, and this is the model we are implementing.'
Just a Minister of Defense proudly listing the villages he erased and the 200,000 people he displaced
They've stopped hiding it
Pahlavi the puppet is adamant on proving the regime right when they say 8th January onwards was a coup attempt. Any decent human would be doing everything to prove them wrong to save the detainees’ lives. Not Pahlavi. He’s giving them ammo on purpose for very obvious reasons.
Look in the mirror you hypocrite. Zionism is racism, as is the ideology of the flag you proudly use as your profile picture. Ask the Kurdish, Baluch and Arabs in Iran about the atrocity crimes they’ve suffered at the hands of your racist heroes. You are what you claim to hate.

Where did this narrative originate from? There's no evidence that Majid was on duty that night. Even by the regime's account, he was a protester, not a soldier intentionally disobeying orders *which carries the death penalty under military laws.* Wtf is this parasite playing at?
Majid Nikandish, a true soldier of Iran, was arrested and executed by the Islamic Republic after refusing to open fire on protesters who took to the streets of Mashhad during Iran's January National Uprising.
A photo of his final testament, written hours before his execution, was recently released. In it, Majid speaks of his love for his family and asks them to celebrate his life at his funeral. He emphasizes that only one question remains on his mind: "Why?"
This is the question every awakened conscience must ask today to amplify the voices of these innocent political prisoners: Why does the Islamic Republic execute the children of Iran on baseless and fabricated charges?
We will never forget Iran's fallen heroes. Justice will prevail!
🚨 it is clear that @PahlaviReza will not stop until he kills @nargesfnd one way or another.
She’s in Iran, he’s not.
She’s alone, he’s financed by Israel.
We need the world to stand with Narges to counter his terror campaign before it’s too late.
#IStandWithNarges ✊🏽✊🏽✊🏽
They physically stoned her for speaking at Khosro Alikordi’s funeral, they harass her on the streets of Tehran to force her to say “javid shah,” and they terrorise her online with vitriol abuse that no human could tolerate. @PahlaviReza won’t stop until he kills Narges Mohammadi.
📍IRAN
The Free Narges Coalition steering committee has published a new report on online harassment against human rights defender Narges Mohammadi, with input from digital protection and digital rights experts.

Look at the abuse Narges receives for writing against the death penalty. Narges, who was fighting for abolition when all these @PahlaviReza thugs were actively supporting the regime and its execution machine, and who still support the death penalty. He’s the pit of depravity.
