I thought "ragging" in tertiary institutions was a thing of the past. I received a worrying complaint from a UTECH 1st year student about her experience, which saw her having to go to the hospital. I intend to follow this up with UTECH.

The Belgian police have announced today that no foul play has been found in connection with the death of a Palestinian man who was discovered dead with his hands and feet tied in a park within Antwerp's Jewish neighborhood. Ok. vrt.be/vrtnws/nl/2024…

Devastating, brilliant reporting by Sally Hayden in today’s The Irish Times on the personal stories behind many Bangladeshis journey to Europe.

Was in Chicago for the Socialism Conference and what better way to put our words into action than getting out onto the streets to support #Palestine.

RIP Rebecca Cheptegei 🖤 #ViolenceAgainstWomen happens across the world, and knows no boundaries of class, race, or religion. In the vast majority of cases, the attacker is known and trusted by the woman #EndVAW theguardian.com/sport/article/…
