At this movement in the chilly winter night, Shanghai people are chanting on the downtown street “ we don’t want dictatorship, we want democracy”.Extraordinary courage and solidarity showed. After 3 years of suffering from lockdown & control of society, people are raged.

Francesc Vendrell, the @UN top official who, since ever, cared for #TimorLeste & steered the 25 year process to independence, was decorated in Dili with Order of Liberty of 🇵🇹, imposed by PT Speaker Ferro Rodrigues. He says “I am from #Catalonia ...”. & that explains a lot!

A sad day indeed. RIP Francesc Vendrell.
The wonderful chair of AAN's Advisory Board, Francesc Vendrell, has died. Envoy for the UN 2000-01 and EU 2002-08, Francesc was far-sighted and practical, a seeker of peace and defender of human rights. We were proud to be associated with him and mourn his loss. Obituary to come.

THIS. It explains SO much about the US -- not just the election, but its continuing & growing dysfunction. Give this three minutes of your time. Please. Remarkable insight, genuine passion.
Incredibly powerful, must-watch moment. Thank you, @esglaude.

Saudi Arabia executes Indonesian migrant worker Tuti Tursilawati, reportedly without prior notice to Ind authorities. 4th such execution since 2011. Public response in Ind has varied widely: firestorm of criticism in 2011; muted in 2015 in midst of drugs executions in Indonesia
Khashoggie dimutilasi, Tuti Tursilawati dieksekusi 😥😭
