Can you really ‘deport’ someone you have unlawfully abducted, detained and forced onto your national territory?

No. The headline should be “Israel forcibly intercepts civilian vessel in breach of international law.” Full stop.
@theguardian.com makes it seem like this can’t be independently verified on a live streamed and highly televised high profile sailboat. Please do your job.

Free Rose Njeri—who has been detained by Kenyan authorities for several days for alleged “cyber crimes.”
The crime? She created a website that could send automated emails to parliament to protest the new Finance Bill 2025.
Unacceptable.

Wait, no, it’s just teacher training this afternoon. Got it.

Once again, Muslims & migrants have to *literally* risk their lives to be considered human and “worthy”. Liberals might think this kind of reporting is positive but it reflects the same racist logic that “gifted” French citizenship to Mamoudou Gassama after he rescued a boy from a balcony in 2018.

Casual reminder that writing on British colonial violence against KLFA/Mau Mau did not start with white scholars.
J.M. Kariuki’s memoir is one of the most emotive & visceral texts to be found on the topic, giving us a detailed & haunting account of the “pipeline” from within the camps.
