I continue to be appalled at the lack of accountability around the SLAPP case that targeted me. If I can get sued for saying a warlord sanctioned by the EU, UK, and US for his role in Wagner is involved with Wagner then can we really say there's any protection for journalists in the UK from SLAPPs?

This is not neutral ‘peacekeeping’ that has anyway a bad reputation everywhere. Besides, when the West has been heavily arming Ukraine, Russia will understandably not accept Western boots on ground. No more than West accepting N.Korean & Iranian boots on other side. aje.io/ep3m8q

#Duterte is in the custody of the #ICC - accused of the crimes against humanity of murder, torture, and rape. For all the criticisms (including my own) of the prosecutor’s strategy of ‘performatively’ going after big names - not many would have predicted this. www.icc-cpi.int/news/situati...

Incredible news. Despite all of the scepticism of arrest warrants and their execution, the arrest of Duerte on charges of CAH is quite incredible.
