Democracy Now! speaks with the renowned Iranian filmmaker Sepideh Farsi, the director of the new #documentary “Put Your Soul on Your Hand and Walk.” The #film is based on regular video calls Farsi made with the #Palestinian photojournalist Fatma Hassona in #Gaza over the course of a year from April 2024 to April 2025.

Hassona was killed with her family by an Israeli missile that targeted her apartment building in northern Gaza. The strike occurred just one day after she learned that the film centered around her life and work had been selected to premiere at the Cannes Film Festival. “It’s something that I will never get over,” says Farsi.

#UK has become an unequivocal #PoliceState under #Starmer, whose #Stalinist instincts have always been clear

Murray & others are fighting this appalling legislation, its misuse & have set up a crowd fund to raise money for legal costs the fight will incur

Palestine Action “not close” to terror group, Scottish board found

A #Scottish counter-terrorism board found that #PalestineAction’s activities fell below the threshold to be considered #terrorism before the group were banned by #Labour, The National can reveal.

It appears that #Police #Scotland concluded the group’s activity was well below the terrorism threshold.

Only 1 in 10 people now trust the government to put the country first.

This is a dangerous territory to be in and without serious #reforms we risk people losing faith in #democracy altogether.

Introducing a fairer, more #ProportionalVoting system would start the process of restoring trust and confidence in our political system.
