I am in awe of the work that you all do, Lui
This judgment is a testament to human rights defenders - to your grace, dignity and forbearance.
The judgment is a credit to the UK system of government & proves its worth fighting for. From habeas corpus to the HRA, it works.

This is very welcome news of forthright action at last from the Committee of Ministers, and testament to the great collaborative efforts of civil society to get Osman Kavala released.
The Committee of Ministers decides to 'serve its formal notice on Turkey of their intention to commence' infringement proceedings against the state in the event that Osman Kavala is not released before the Committee's 30 Nov. – 2 Dec. 2021 meeting.+

Just clearing out the Transition Network office and found this - Theresa May MP saying very nice things about the Transition movement in 2008....
Cool photo.
When I first met Charlie he was a bright young lawyer-with a traditional career ahead. He’d be Partner by now.
He trusted himself.
He followed his light.
He now embodies wellbeing.
Law offers opportunities & a good life, but always listen to the real you.

Similar increases in abundance have been shown in other studies - including in the no-take zone off #LamlashBay on #Arran, set up by @ArranCoast. In other words, #MPAs - through the spillover effect - are good for fishing, if only the fishers would see it.
Law governs every aspect of policing the Channel. In 3 EHRLR 2021 Partasides & Vesel are clear, Patel's plans to push-back are unlikely to be consistent with the UK's international legal obligations & may be non-refoulement. @ukhomeoffice @attorneygeneral

A powerful story by @CNN on Biafran self-determination.
The Biafran War was described as “Britain’s Shame”. UK continues to fail Biafra.
@BorisJohnson supports a referendum & becomes PM. #NnamdiKanu calls for a referendum & is the victim of extraordinary rendition. @FCDOGovUK
"[Leaders] can't afford to ignore calls for separatism...but the crackdowns are creating more support for this movement, ironically."
@StephanieBusari explains the growing support for #Biafra independence in #Nigeria.

My letter in @thetimes today on how the new green watchdog needs to be strengthened in #EnvironmentBill. We will vote in @UKHouseofLords this evening on the key amendments (24 and 27).

For over 2000 yrs the Sleeping Hermaphroditus has fascinated and intrigued, inspiring artists from Titian to Lichtenstein. But what can they tell us about love and desire. My latest for @indypremium independent.co.uk/independen…
The beauty of being human is that gender identity-& expression-is part of us all.
This exquisite essay by @KevinChilds101 ponders the impact of gender fluidity in art, culture & love. He traces the origins of @MuseeLouvre’s prized sculpture independent.co.uk/independen…

To be clear: what the woman says in the video is errant nonsense. Bell vs Tavistock has nothing to do with Covid vaccinations (it’s about puberty blockers). Parents can consent for their children to be vaccinated and children under 16 can consent if they understand risks/benefits
Extraordinary rendition’s a form of enforced disappearance.
Imagine! Without any due process, you’re kidnapped by state agents in one country and sent to another where you’ll almost certainly be persecuted. The whole point of extraordinary rendition is to avoid judicial scrutiny.
The UN adopted the Int'l Convention for the Protection of All Persons from Enforced Disappearance in 2006 bit.ly/37ykxEX.

The @eu_EEAS with the UK at its heart was supposed to redefine the world order.
That EU cd bring about real change - see the Iran deal.
If the UK had stayed in the EU, the situation in Afghanistan would be very, very different.
Brexit has made the world less safe & less secure.
