The People's Health Movement (PHM) is celebrating its 25th anniversary of fighting for Health For All.
The Movement made up of activists, health workers, researchers, and social movements from across the world, fights for the fundamental right of quality and free healthcare for all peoples, wages concrete campaigns against Big Pharma and the corporate capture of health institutions, organizes solidarity work with the people of Palestine, and more.
As repression grows and inequality deepens, PHM argues that defending health means defending democracy, dignity, and collective futures. The movement’s message remains clear: Health for All is a political struggle; and it is far from over.

The past week saw a new wave of repression by the Tunisian authorities against protesters. At least 21 people were arrested during anti-government demonstrations in the Kairouan region, which lasted a couple of days.
These protests erupted in Kairouan after young Tunisian citizen Naim Briki died on Friday, December 12, due to severe injuries he had sustained at the hands of the police on November 22.
According to media reports, the police chased Briki after he allegedly evaded being checked by them, because he was riding a motorcycle without proper documentation.
The pursuit of the young man ended with the collision of his motorcycle with a police vehicle. His family also reported that he was brutally beaten by several police officers later.

Mali’s government announced earlier this month that it has secured more than 761 billion CFA francs (about USD 1.2 billion) in unpaid revenue from mining companies following a comprehensive audit and renegotiation of contracts in the extractive sector, making it one of the most significant resource governance interventions in the country’s recent history.
Mali is one of the world’s top 20 gold producers and Africa’s third largest gold producer and it relies heavily on mining as a pillar of its economy. Yet, in light of the disparity in the amount of minerals exported and revenue that Mali was obtaining for them, authorities concluded that the country was not receiving its fair share of benefits from its natural resources.
Under the leadership of President Assimi Goïta, the transitional government ordered a full audit of mining companies operating in the country. The review revealed that the state had lost approximately CFA 300 billion and 600 billion (USD 480 million–USD 960 million) in revenue due to unfavorable contracts, tax gaps, and weak oversight. This prompted the government to renegotiate agreements and introduce sweeping legal reforms.

A severe shortage of essential medicines – caused by ongoing Israeli restrictions on the entry of supplies into Gaza – is deepening the health crisis created by the genocide. Gaza’s Ministry of Health (MOH) has warned that around 320 essential medicines have already reached zero stock, with many others at critically low levels.
“The most critical shortages affect emergency services, particularly life-saving intravenous fluids, as well as IV antibiotics and painkillers,” the ministry said in a recent statement.

More Palestine solidarity hunger strikers in Britain have been hospitalized over the past week, as half of those taking part in the protest pass more than 50 days without food. While Keir Starmer’s administration continues to refuse engagement with the activists’ demands, health workers and family members warn of serious risks of death. Testimonies from the strikers themselves describe harsh physical decline. “I don’t think people realize how serious this is, as on day 35 you risk brain damage, organ failure and heart attack,” Rahma Hoxha, sister of hunger striker Teuta Hoxha, said on December 18.
Meanwhile, institutional repression against the Palestine solidarity movement in Britain continues to grow. On December 23, Prisoners for Palestine and Defend Our Juries reported new arrests during a lock-in protest in London addressing Aspen Insurance’s complicity in genocide. One of those arrested was climate and solidarity activist Greta Thunberg, who sat on the ground holding a sign reading: “I support the Palestine Action prisoners. I oppose genocide.”

Scores of journalists, political and human rights activists attended a protest jointly organized by Bangladesh’s Editor’s Council and Newspaper Owners Association (NOAM) in Dhaka on Monday, December 22 to denounce last week’s attacks on leading newspapers and journalists in the country.
Claiming such attacks are attempts to silence critical voices, speakers appealed to the social forces in the country to raise their voices in protest in order to protect the (remaining) social and political freedoms in the country.
Bangladesh has seen repeated attacks on opposition parties such as the Awami League and Workers Party of Bangladesh (WPB), religious minorities, and symbols of Bangladesh’s national liberation struggle, since the formation of the interim administration last year.

“Culture is life. Culture is roots, and history. Culture is humanity. If we lose culture, we lose our identity. We lose our life. There is no meaning without culture. There is no meaning to life without love. Culture is love. I will not permit them to take my love away from myself. My culture. This is my heart. This is my people. These are my memories. This is my childhood, when I walked without electricity and without water. The songs that I heard. The food that I ate. The air that I smelled. The mountain that I climbed. The sea that I swam in. This is my culture, my existence. Nobody will take that from me. So I will continue making films. Despite everything.“

Israel’s Defense Minister, Israel Katz, unveiled a plan to establish what he called “new military-agricultural outposts” in the northern Gaza Strip.
Katz added that these outposts will replace the 21 illegal Israeli settlements, which were evacuated when the IOF withdrew from the war-torn enclave in 2005.
“With God’s help, when the time comes, also in northern Gaza, we will establish pioneer groups in place of the settlements that were evacuated,” the Israeli minister said at a ceremony marking the establishment of 1,200 new settlement units in the West Bank settlement of Beit El.

“His only ‘crime’ was taking care of patients in his hospital until the final moments before Israel abducted him,” CODEPINK wrote in an appeal. “He remains in Israeli detention – alongside hundreds of other medical workers abducted from Gaza – subjected to the kind of violence that should be condemned universally.”
