Terrifying development. Time for this Govt to pull out all the stops to fulfil a mother's deepest wishes and #FreeAlaa
We are deeply worried that Laila Soueif, mother of jailed British-Egyptian Alaa Abdel Fattah, is in hospital after almost 150 days of hunger strike. No mother should feel such a desperate act is her only recourse. We call on Egypt to immediately #FreeAlaa, & on the UK to step up diplomatic efforts.

We turned their London office into an exhibition of climate devastation—displaying flooded cases of typhoon-wrecked belongings from Filipino communities. Then, we smashed them. 🧵👇

We’ve lost a Greenpeace legend today. Pete Wilkinson, founder of Greenpeace UK in the 1970s, was still campaigning right up to the end.
His passion and directness, always speaking truth to power, never wavered. Rest in peace, Pete.

Fascinating the number of arguments being used the UK in its submission regarding the EU challenge to reopen sandeel fishing in UK waters that could be applied against the UK's own approach to allowing industrial fishing to continue inside its MPAs: pcacases.com/web/sendAtta...
