🇦🇷 The people stand with Cristina

Since the Argentine judiciary ratified the conviction of former president, Cristina Fernández de Kirchner (CFK), thousands have been rallying outside her home in a permanent vigil. Yesterday, tens of thousands mobilized in the Plaza de Mayo, the iconic square in front of the Casa Rosada presidential palace, to protest the political persecution of the progressive leader.

In what has been labeled as a new case of lawfare, full of irregularities, the Supreme Court ruled that CFK must serve six years of house arrest and, more importantly, that she be banned from working in the public sector for the rest of her life. Many analysts say the case is pure political persecution.

🇯🇴🇵🇸 Jordanian left leader speaks out against political persecution after release from detention.

Dr. Issam Khawaja, Deputy General Secretary of the Jordanian Democratic Popular Unity Party and pediatric neurologist, was released from detention earlier this week after his arrest on June 4.

In a reception held after his release, Dr. Issam confirmed that he was arrested for expressing his political stance in solidarity with Gaza and the Palestinian people, glorifying resistance movements in the West Asia region, and demanding that the Jordanian regime cut ties and cancel agreements with Israel, including the Wadi Araba (peace treaty) and the gas deal.

Pro-Palestine activist and Columbia graduate Mahmoud Khalil has finally been released from ICE custody on June 20 – following over three months of detention. He was forced to languish in ICE detention over 1,000 miles away from his wife, Noor Abdalla, with immigration authorities denying his request to be by Abdalla’s side for the birth of their first child.

Upon release from the GEO Group-run ICE detention center, Khalil briefly addressed reporters. “Trump and his administration, they chose the wrong person for this,” Khalil said. But no one “should be detained for actually protesting a genocide, for protesting their university, Columbia University, that is investing in the genocide of the Palestinian people,” he told reporters.
