Il y a Boualem Sansal, innocent et malade, qui sort des geôles algériennes en déclarant : «Je ne vais pas être détruit par une petite année de prison.»

Et il y a Nicolas Sarkozy, condamné en première instance, 21 jours à la Santé, qui évoque son «cauchemar» et sort un livre.

Le conte de Monte Sarko
A peine sorti de prison, où l’ancien président a passé trois semaines à la suite de sa condamnation dans le procès libyen, Nicolas Sarkozy a annoncé la sortie express d’un livre, qui sera publié le 10 décembre.

The Committee to Protect Journalists reported in February that Israel was responsible for 70% of reported journalist killings worldwide last year, and estimated that 203 have been killed since the outbreak of the Israel-Hamas war.

Early US intel assessment suggests strikes on Iran did not destroy nuclear sites, CNN reports
An early U.S. intelligence assessment indicated that the U.S. military strikes on three of Iran's nuclear facilities last week did not destroy the core components of Tehran's nuclear program and likely only set it back by months, CNN reported on Tuesday, citing three people briefed on it.

75 days now of complete blockade/siege of Gaza. People are starving, babies elderly & sick already dying. Meanwhile Israel destroying what's left of Gaza so the living will have no place to return to. An atrocity for the ages and the world is so quiet.
