Ukraine’s videos of crying Russian prisoners could violate the Geneva Conventions

US has pressured Nicaragua to release prisoners jailed for participating in the failed, violent US-backed regime change effort of 2018 for years

Sky News again whitewashing al-Qaeda in Syria as a “rebel group”. No longer surprising as Sky has performed this specific function for many years, but obscene nevertheless, notably as it’s been reported today that HTS is blocking the entry of aid.
