The UK may authorize minorities in China to use British courts to sue China for repression.

It's not unusual for the UK and US to deport people to countries they were too young to remember, and where they know no one. But it is especially cruel to deport Osime Brown, who is autistic, and won't be able to survive in Jamaica on his own,

A person who was brought to a country as a child has the right to live there.

Modi has forced Amnesty International out of India by freezing its bank account.

An EU requirement for countries to respect and implement rule of law is blocking the release of EU funds to Hungary for coping with Covid-19. A compromise is being considered to release the funds.

I am glad to see that the European Parliament is standing firm for that requirement. However, perhaps it is right to make an exception for the medical emergency. Surely other funds, used for things that are not desperately urgent, would offer a good opportunity to pressure Órban, perhaps even a bigger one.

An interview with a woman who has been stalked for 11 years by a violent ex-lover.

There are many situations where there are a few ways to respond, and each one may succeed, do nothing, or backfire, and there is no way to predict. You can choose to roll the dice, spin the wheel, or guess which number is in the envelope. Good advice might tell you which gamble gives you the best odds, but you can't avoid gambling, except by giving up. Whether to threaten an abusive ex may be one of these situations.

If you lose, you can always agonize about the fact that you might have won if you had chosen a different source of randomness to bet on. But the choice you made also might have won. It is useless to agonize about or criticize the choice of gamble. The best you can do is choose the best odds and go ahead.

To come up with a better plan could do a lot of good.

I wonder if it might make sense to sentence stalkers to carry digital trackers to detect whether they approach places where their victims go. It is unjust to do this to people in general, but it would be acceptable as a punishment for stalking.
