Whistleblower Daniel Hale was sentenced to almost 4 years in prison for revealing that US drone attacks were killing lots of civilians, which the US had tried to cover up.

Shame on the US government for prosecuting heroes such as Hale.

The UK's electoral system suppresses minor parties almost as hard as the US electoral system. This prevents real politics and saddles the country with fantasist manipulators like Bogus Johnson.

Morocco arrested exiled Uyghur activist Yidiresi Aishan when he arrived from Turkey, and plans to send him straight to China for prosecution.

Extraditing Aishan to China would be like extraditing Julian Assange to the US: a shameful disrespect for human rights. There is no reason to trust China's criminal accusations against dissidents. Construing dissent as "terrorism" is a widespread practice.

Jesse Jackson and William Barber are charged with trespassing for holding a sit-in outside Senator Sinema's office. (Barber is the leader of the Poor People's Campaign.) They could be jailed for 6 months.

I hope Senator Sinema realizes how bad that would look.
