"To Kill a Mockingbird in Diyarbakır" 🦉 My latest for @theamargi.bsky.social: A deconstruction of the forensic execution and media lynching of Yüksel Güran. Data as a weapon, society as the judge. Read: www.theamargi.com/posts/to-kil...

🇺🇸 The #Trump administration announced it will remove 700 #ICE officers from Minnesota this week. This follows mass protests and the fatal shooting of two #US citizens. Watch to learn more ⤵️

Just saw footage of UK counter-terrorism police raiding Berfin Kurban’s bedroom. Interestingly, when the raid footage was shown, one of the jurors was smiling. No other court reporters are present, apart from myself and Tom Anderson. #KurdishRight #OldBailey #KurdishPolitics #UKKurds

The main trial of 6 #Kurdish activists Ercan Akbal, Türkan Özcan, Ali Poyraz, Agit Karataş, Mücahit Sayak and Berfin Kurban accused of membership in the Kurdistan Workers’ Party (PKK) began three weeks ago at the Old Bailey in London. The defendants deny the allegations. #KurdishPolitics

My piece for Agos Newspaper: London marched for Rojava on Sunday - www.agos.com.tr/tr/haber/biz...

Women around the world are braiding their hair in solidarity with Rojava, after a female YPJ fighter was killed and her hair cut and shared online by an HTS member.This global movement highlights their struggle and resistance. Journos, cover this story. Help the world see what’s happening in Rojava.

@postopinions.bsky.social I pitched the Washington Post an op-ed on the humanitarian crisis in Rojava, affecting Kurds, Alevis and Christians across Europe and the US. Rejected without comment — and addressed to “Misti.” My name is Hilal Seven. Silence is an editorial choice.

Brit–Turkish artist Büşra Mirador braided her hair in solidarity with Kurdish women in Rojava after a jihadist shared a braid of an executed YPJ fighter. A nationalist and patriotic Turk, she chose courage over silence, despite risks of backlash and harassment. www.instagram.com/stories/busr...

@article19.bsky.social Several outlets covering Kurdish issues were banned in Turkey, forcing them to open new accounts. This is a direct attack on freedom of information and expression. They are among the few reporting on massacres in Rojava, Syria.

@nytimes.com For years, the US allied with the Kurds in Syria—not out of solidarity, but to protect Western interests. Now, they have been abandoned to Al-Qaeda, which later became HTS, with some factions linked to ISIS. Thousands of Kurds face massacres. Why has the NYT stayed silent on this?

@nytopinion.nytimes.com For years, the Kurds were frontline allies against ISIS in Syria. Yet Kurdish writers and voices rarely appear in major Western outlets. As massacres unfold and HTS rises, why does @nytopinion give so little space to those who have lived it? #Rojava #KurdishVoices
