My comment on the Nobel Peace prize being awarded Navi Pillay: This prize does not mean that international justice has arrived — it means the world still believes that those who have devoted their lives to pursuing it deserve to be recognized.

On this day 20 years ago, Russian journalist Anna Politkovskaya was murdered in Moscow, on Putin’s 54th birthday. She had spent years reporting on Putin’s Russia and exposing atrocities committed during Russia’s war in Chechnya. Dozens of journalists have been killed for their work under Putin.

🚨 BREAKING: Elbit Factory set ablaze in Czech Republic, the Earthquake Faction is launched.

“On 20th March 2026, the Earthquake Faction struck the epicenter of the Israeli weapons industry in Europe. In Pardubice, Czech Republic, Elbit Systems' "Centre of Excellence" was newly built in collaboration with LPP, to service the global expansion of Israel's biggest weapons producer.

Whilst the development, production and training center was empty, The Earthquake Faction intervened to destroy its equipment and set the factory ablaze. No one was harmed.

The site is used to develop weaponry used by the Zionist entity to massacre people daily in Palestine, Lebanon, Iran, and across West Asia.

The Earthquake Faction is an internationalist underground network that targets key sites critical to the Zionist entity. We aim to destroy all limbs of empire from within, by any means effective.
