Iranian activists are urgently sharing claims that Shirvan cafe owner Masoud Babaei, arrested January 8 amid protests, was tortured into confessing and now risks execution early Friday.

This push highlights Iran's crackdown, with over 100 executions since early January on protest-related charges, as online voices battle state silence and past campaigns have occasionally stopped such fates.

Key Takeaway

A desperate message from inside an Iranian prison warns that Masoud Babaei could face hanging at dawn on January 31. Activists are flooding posts with his name, hoping global attention might halt the gallows.

The march on Saturday evening featured banners reading "End Israeli Occupation Apartheid," Palestinian flags, and chants of "From the River to the Sea," which many Jews see as a call to eliminate Israel. Video showed a protester lunging at a Jewish man filming nearby, and Sussex Friends of Israel captured an older couple using antisemitic slurs like "C*nt Jews" and false claims of "500,000 babies" killed; police arrested the man. With no police statement yet and Brighton's history of tensions including vandalized October 7 memorials, the events fueled calls for better protection of Jewish communities.

Key Takeaway

Jewish worshippers stepped out from Shabbat services into a pro-Palestinian march just outside Brighton's historic Middle Street Synagogue. Local activist Heidi Bachram, whose family suffered losses on October 7, 2023, called the moment deeply intimidating.

Ssentongo, known for his pointed social commentary, started the Anti Bride Price Movement this week, inviting others to join by saying 'WE GO.' Supporters share stories of sky-high demands—like 25 cows or $13,500 in cash—that leave couples unable to wed and women feeling commodified. Defenders view bride price as a symbol of gratitude and the groom's commitment, rooted in traditions like those of the Banyankole. The push echoes Uganda's 2015 Supreme Court ruling that bride price does not justify ownership or violence, spotlighting tensions between custom and modern equality.

Key Takeaway

Jimmy Spire Ssentongo, a philosophy lecturer and father, drew a firm line: he would never demand payment for his daughter's hand in marriage. He sees it as treating women like livestock, especially amid Uganda's economic hardships.

Prominent human rights lawyers Imaan Zainab Mazari-Hazir and Hadi Ali Chattha appeared in an Islamabad court on December 5, with sentencing adjourned to December 8 over tweets from 2021 to 2025 criticizing military policies on disappearances and political prisoners. The couple, who have defended blasphemy victims and families in Balochistan and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, boycotted parts of the trial, alleging evidence was recorded without them and a state lawyer mishandled their defense. Nearly 200 lawyers, journalists, and activists, along with groups like Amnesty International and the International Commission of Jurists, condemned the process as unfair, while a solidarity protest is set for Monday and their Supreme Court appeal for December 11.

Key Takeaway

Imaan Zainab Mazari-Hazir stared down the judge and said, 'Give me the seven-year sentence, I am ready.' Her words captured the couple's unyielding stand against what they call a flawed trial.
