Saddened to learn of the passing of Paddy Clancy, an enormous presence in Irish journalism for over six decades.
His distinctive take on RTE’s morning paper round up was essential listening. (1/2)

Congrats to @ClooneyFDN for choosing these recipients. The tremendous work Mazen and Yara, together with their tireless team of colleagues, friends and family @SyrianCenter cannot be described in words. But an award such as this one symbolizes the recognition they so deserve. 👏
The @SyrianCenter, founded and run by survivors of torture and arbitrary imprisonment in #Syria, deserves recognition for their tremendous efforts to prosecute perpetrators of international crimes committed in the country and their support of journalists.

Human rights lawyer @ArnonNampa, who had called for the reform of #Thailand’s powerful monarchy, was sentenced to four years in prison yesterday for ‘insulting the monarchy’ (also known as lèse-majesté). He is now seeking bail pending appeal.
‼️Urgent! The Criminal Court found #ArnonNampa guilty of violating s.112 (lèse-majesté) of the Criminal Code and the Emergency Decree for a speech he delivered on 14 October 2020. He was acquitted of 7 other criminal charges.
Arnon was sentenced to 4 years in prison and fined 20,000 Baht.
Currently, bail is being requested as the case is on appeal.

"If you wanted a model like Channel 4. . . it would require a complete rethink."
Could RTÉ ever adopt a publisher-broadcaster model like Channel 4?
@KatieGHannon spoke to former Channel 4 journalist @shaunagh to find out.

The #Lundin trial that starts tomorrow would not have been possible without tireless efforts prosecutors in Sweden and the campainging of South Sudanese survivors and the support of @PAXforpeace @Swedwatch @norskfolkehjelp among many others
Since 2020 our @TheDocket team has been advocating for Sudanese victims of the crimes in which Lundin is allegedly complicit, including by assisting their lawyers, advocating for corporate accountability, and helping victims tell their stories after decades of being silenced.

In 2004, it was a crazy idea of a Syrian lawyer described as "Don Quixote".. Today, it has become one of the influential institutions in Syria and abroad. I am proud of my colleagues at @SyrianCenter who make the impossible possible, who know that we still have a long way to go.
