'Several [men] said that they actively didn’t respond to emails, or acted in an exaggerated disorganised manner. This meant they were assigned fewer tasks, but were also less frequently asked, and thus got away without doing service.” Le big sigh... kifinfo.no/en/2024/03/wom…

Really looking forward to this! 4pm Hilton Golden Gate 4 #ISA2024

It isn’t often we can talk about Turkish polling triumphs but MetroPOLL Araştırma can rightly claim to have called the Istanbul race. And this wasn’t just a lucky one-off: they ran two polls in March with the same result and stood behind their research.

A powerful reminder that Evan Evan Gershkovich is not a spy and journalism is not a crime.

Horrible to think that he’s been locked up for a year.

Today marks one year that The Wall Street Journal reporter Evan Gershkovich has been wrongfully detained in Russia.

⛔️ Evan should not be in prison.

#JournalismIsNotACrime , and we continue to demand Evan’s immediate release.

Watch CPJ Europe and Central Asia's Dr. Gulnoza Said speak about his jailing ⬇️…

Evan Gershkovich has now spent one year behind bars in Russia on charges that defy reason.
Journalism is NOT a crime.
Today, alongside the The Wall Street Journal, Committee to Protect Journalists and Evan’s colleagues, friends & family, we once again call for his immediate release. #FreeEvan #IStandWithEvan

🧵One year ago today, Wall Street Journal reporter Evan Gershkovich was detained in Russia for doing his job.

He remains in a Moscow prison.

We’re offering resources for those who want to show their support for him. #IStandWithEvan wsj.com/Evan

The detention in Russia of our friend and much-missed colleague Evan Gershkovich was extended for the fifth time. His imprisonment from day one (nearly a year ago) has been an absolute disgrace. #FreeEvan #IStandWithEvan

Here's a vintage example of FOI vandalism I've been dealing with.

The department: David Cameron’s Foreign Office.
The subject: David Cameron’s lobbying career.

Starvation is on the rise in Gaza. This is not about rhetoric. This is not about politics. This is about survival. That's why it’s a failure of humanity.
