Yemeni journalist Anis Mansour, currently visiting Afghanistan:

“Afghan female students returning from public and private schools. Yesterday afternoon, I saw dozens of groups of girls returning from schools on the streets of Afghanistan.

I was shocked by the large numbers of girls I saw, which contrasted sharply with the propaganda, rumors, and lies spread by Western and secular media outlets.”

In 2017, Rabaa Restaurant in Jabalia refugee camp, northern Gaza Strip, displayed posters of North Korean leader Kim Jong Un, offering an 80% discount to North Koreans as a gesture of gratitude for Pyongyang’s condemnation of the US recognition of Jerusalem as Israel’s capital, if they ever arrive to Gaza.

The Metropolitan Police carried out mass arrests outside the US Embassy in London as hundreds gathered holding signs opposing genocide and supporting Palestine Action.

Officers detained people even for blank placards, including 94-year-old human rights lawyer Margaret Owen.

A similar protest was held in Edinburgh, but the Scottish Police have made no arrests.

Today’s arrests outside the US Embassy in London bring the total number of arrests under the Terrorism Act in the UK for defying the ban on Palestine Action to over 4,000.
