1. redfish is boycotting the IADAS and handing back all our @TheWebbyAwards and @LovieAwards awards and Honours because of the academy’s racist solidarity with victims of war.
2. @TheWebbyAwards shortlisted, honoured and then disqualified our work in a blatant act of media censorship using the IADAS “solidarity” with Ukraine as the justification. #WorldPressFreedomDay
3. While we support the IADAS’ support for Ukraine’s victims of war, we condemn its refusal to publicly support all victims of war, e.g. those in Yemen, Palestine, Iraq, Afghanistan. See our full statement here: redfish.media/blog/boycottia…
4. redfish unequivocally stands with all victims of war, imperialism, discrimination & exploitation. Until the IADAS ends its policy of media censorship & apologises for its racist and selective solidarity, we will not submit any of our works for IADAS competitions.

On this day in 1937, the founder of the Turkish Republic Mustafa Kemal Atatürk gave the order for the 'Dersim Massacres', which culminated in a genocide that claimed the lives of 70,000 mostly Kurdish Alevis in Turkey’s Dersim province. #TerteleDersim Image
Three years earlier the Turkish government passed the "Law on Resettlement" which was part its nationwide “Turkification” of non-Turkish majority areas. The aim was to prevent a concentration of non-Turkish speaking populations, and to dissolve those that already existed. Image
A secret decision by the Council of Ministers on May 4, 1937 called for a "final solution". The army was to "disarm once and for all and on the spot all those who had used or were using weapons, completely destroy their villages and remove their families". Image

18 years have passed since evidence of war crimes by the US military against detainees at Abu Ghraib in Iraq caused outrage around the world, but the US government, military and private contractors involved in the scandal continue to enjoy total impunity.
In April 2004, hundreds of photos were leaked which showed US soldiers torturing, beating and sexually assaulting detainees at the US-run Prison where up to 90% of the prisoners were “mistakenly” detained.
The photos included images of US military interrogators sexually assaulting and humiliating male and female detainees, soldiers laughing and posing next to the corpse of a Manadel al-Jamadi who was tortured to death by CIA interrogators.

30 years ago today one of the fiercest urban uprisings in U.S. history broke out after the Los Angeles police officers who brutally beat Rodney King walked free.
During their trial, 4 white L.A.P.D. officers were shown in witness footage savagely striking an overpowered King with a baton more than 50 times, tazing & kicking him. King suffered a broken leg, a scar from the stun gun and severe bruising. The court verdict: not guilty.
When the acquittal was announced, the frustration of African-Americans in L.A. neighborhoods exploded, marking the start of 6 days of violence between them and the state. The streets were on fire. "no Justice, no Peace" became the tenor of the uprising.

Today is International Anti-Colonialism Day, marking the day when nations from Asia, Africa, the Middle East as well as Yugoslavia concluded the historic Bandung Conference in 1955, a landmark event in the anti-colonial struggle.
Following WWII, a movement of countries that used to be colonized by mostly Western European powers was launched. They fought themselves free from oppression and entered the world stage as independent countries representing billions.
This movement took form for the first time when delegates from dozens of countries gathered in 1955 in the Indonesian city Bandung.
