OUTRAGEOUS. #Egyptian prisons are disasters waiting to happen during the #CoronavirusOutbreak. Instead of saving lives and releasing prisoners, the regime has arrested 5 activists-Mona Seif, Leila Soueif, Ahdaf Soueif, Rabab al-Mahdi-who staged a protest calling to #FreeThemAll
A few days ago, @hrw published this report: In crowded, unhygienic prisons, the spread of #COVID19 presents a serious threat. #FreeThemAll
#Egyptian prisons are notorious for being overcrowded, dirty and unhygienic. Last November, UN experts said that #Egypt’s abusive detention conditions “may be placing the health and lives of thousands [of] prisoners at severe risk.” #COVID19
Sisi, Trump’s “favourite dictator,” has jailed thousands without trial, Many are kept in police stations, lsecurity directorates & unofficial detention sites. A May 2015 report from National Council for Human Rights said police stations were 300% over capacity, prisons 160% over.

I told @rerutled that once my red hair colour fades, I’ll cut it all off. Buzzcut!

I dyed my hair red to say “fuck you, I survived” to the #Egyptian regime after its riot police attacked me.

My colourist & I want to survive #COVID19 and won’t be meeting again for a while.
"I responded by reclaiming ownership of my body...dyeing my hair red...getting tattoos...I own this body, and fuck you...You didn’t kill me."

I don’t know how long I’ll wait before I get that buzzcut. I’ve had bright red hair for 8 years now. It’s become such an integral part of who I am. Friends can find me easily when we arrange to meet and it’s a trigger for trolls.

The day I cut it all off will be fucking gutting.

We who fight for and have long wanted revolution always say that at its heart, revolution is to imagine the impossible.

We’re not living through a revolution but a pandemic. And we hear *some* leaders promise what for so long we were told is impossible.

Why was it impossible?
Why was it impossible to:
- live in dignity
- ensure no one in our communities was hurt or suffering
- understand that the suffering of others affects us all
- understand that “I’m ok” is never enough
Why was it impossible to:
- spend more on health and education than military budgets
- understand that poverty should not exist, that we can end it
- ensure that everyone who wanted a home had one
- ensure that home was not where the hurt was because of abusive partners/parents

@drharshvardhan ji we request your urgent intervention in #GovtMedCollegeChandigarh to save Med students. Med students are NOT docs. They don't kno how to wear PPE. Dean has refused to suspend classes.
#SaveMedicalStudents
#GovtMedCollegeChandigarh
Please ask Dean, #GovtMedCollegeChandigarh to suspend classes as per Govt directions. 100-150 Med students attend each lecture. Dean himself is using remote access to work but forcing students to risk their lives.

China quarantines Wuhan – airport and public transport to shut down within hours
POPULATION 11 MILLION
There are 440 confirmed cases, with the origin a seafood market that "conducted illegal transactions of wild animals".
I'm sure it's actually 440

Surely we can depend on the National Health Commission of The People's Republic of China for accurate & honest numbers

Power is bad
@ZackKopplin
From a source at Balad air base in Iraq about evacuation: “Every one had their weapons taken away, the base entry gates are wide open but for some unexplained reason the finance manager (who is dating the married security director) has a weapon without training or certification.”
“As it stands, hundreds still await tickets for travel and the company can't even keep that straight as their 30 minute process per ticket is further delayed but these incompetent fools buying tickets for people already gone.”
“It'll be a miracle if no one dies due to the incompetence here.”
