The abomination of executions in #Egypt must stop:

#Egypt has executed nine men convicted after a grossly unfair trial for the 2015 killing of the country’s former Public Prosecutor. amnesty.org/en/latest/news…
The latest executions bring to 15 the number of people executed in #Egypt in 3 weeks: “executing men who were convicted in trials marred by torture allegations is not justice but a testament to the magnitude of injustice in the country,” @amnesty
The death penalty is barbaric and must be abolished everywhere. "#Egyptian authorities must urgently halt this bloody execution spree which has seen them repeatedly putting people to death after grossly unfair trials in recent weeks” amnesty.org/en/latest/news…

“No woman is responsible for altering the psyche of her oppressor, even when that psyche is embodied in another woman,” Audre Lorde, Uses of Anger: Women Responding to Racism.

Happy Born Fay, Audre Lorde: Feb.28, 1934 in Harlem.
“Women of colour in america have grown up within a symphony of anger,at being silenced, at being unchosen,at knowing that when we survive, it is in spite of a world that takes for granted our lack of humanness,and which hates our very existence outside of its service” Audre Lorde “Women of colour in america have grown up within a symphony of anger,at being silenced, at being unchosen,at knowing that when we survive, it is in spite of a world that takes for granted our lack of humanness,and which hates our very existence outside of its service” Audre Lorde
6 hours later, and I realize I misspelled Day. Happy Born Fay?! A million things occupy my mind at the moment and clearly spelling isn’t one of them. 💜

Sexual abuse is a pervasive and longstanding problem at madrassas in #Pakistan, an @AP investigation has found. In a culture where clerics are powerful and sexual abuse is a taboo subject, it is seldom discussed or even acknowledged in public. apnews.com/ddd9660f63ae44…
One senior official in a ministry tasked with registering these cases says many madrassas are “infested” with sexual abuse. He compares the situation to the abuse of children by priests in the Catholic Church.

“There are thousands of incidences of sexual abuse in the madrassas,”
His assessment was echoed by another senior official, a former minister who says sexual abuse in madrassas happens all the time. Neither men wanted their names used for fear of retribution.

“That’s a very dangerous topic,” he says.

Court in #Egypt sentence women rights advocate #AmalFathy for 2.5 years for 'Fake News' after sharing sexual harassment experience via Facebook post. #FreeAmalFathy #FreeAmalFathy theguardian.com/world/2018/sep…
The conviction of Amal Fathy comes after Egypt clamped down on women who complain of sexual assault. Simply reporting rape or assault can land women in prison and labeled as terrorists. #FreeAmalFathy on.wsj.com/2NMhKk6
“In a UN survey in 2013, 99% of Egyptian women reported that they had experienced some form of sexual harassment. Cairo was described as the “most dangerous megacity in the world for women” in a 2017 Thomson Reuters Foundation poll.” . #FreeAmalFathy gu.com/p/9ga2n/stw

#BREAKING
According to his brother, political prisoner #RaminHosseinPanahi has been executed.

My deepest condolences to his family and Iranians across the globe.
To get an understanding of #Iran's ruthless regime:

The IRGC launched a missile barrage against a Kurdish group based in Iraq in an attempt to divert attention away from the execution of political prisoner #RaminHosseinPanahi.

Raise your voice & condemn the mullahs regime.
#BREAKING
Reports indicate #Iran's regime has also executed Kurdish political prisoners Zaniar & Loghman Moradi alongside #RaminHosseinPanahi.

For the last 24 hours I've been texting & calling with refugees in Libya. 500 are apparently stuck in a Tripoli prison w/o food & water after heavy fighting broke out two days ago. They say their guards ran away, leaving them alone.
These refugees are men, women & children. They tried to cross the Mediterranean earlier this year, but were found by Italian boats, who turned them over to the EU-backed Libyan coastguard, who put them in prison. The conditions were already terrible before the fighting started.
Oh the phone earlier I could hear children crying & what sounded like bombing in the distance. The refugees say everyone's incredibly frightened. "We hear machine guns, tanks, big bombs, last night from the roof it was all fire."
