This is my journalistic colleague Motaz Rajab. Did you know he was murdered yesterday? No one spoke of him because a journalist being killed in Gaza is a daily occurrence. You only kill journalists when truth is your enemy.

ID cards found at mass graves which are now being uncovered across Syria, showing the extent of the regime's brutality. Remember the world was prepared to normalise with this monster!

Britain doesn’t need billionaires posing as champions of the working class while hijacking our democracy for their own interests.

This past week @hrw visited a grave site in Tadamon, Damascus - a site we’d confirmed through geolocating a video over 2 years ago. The state of the site - with human remains scattered around - suggests that the area is a mass crime scene. Watch here: 1/6 youtu.be/cgJNDkvUeWE?fe…
