Dilorom Abdukadirova peacefully attended a protest to voice her concerns about the economy in Uzbekistan. When the police opened fire on the protests she ran for safety to the border where she received a refugee visa for Australia. Almost 4 years later she returned to her family but on arrival she was detained and charged with attempting to overthrow the constitutional order and illegally exiting Uzbekistan. At the trial her family members said she looked unusually thin, had bruises on her face and was without her head scarf. The family doesn’t believe she would have removed her head scarf by choice. In 2012, Dilorom’s sentence was extended by eight years after she had been accused of allegedly breaking prison rules with “bad behaviour”; no explanation of what this constituted was given. Dilorom remains in prison, where her family fears she is again being ill-treated. Dilorom Abdukadirova is a prisoner of conscience, convicted for exercising her right to freedom of expression and peacefully attending a protest.

Ali Aarrass was tortured for 12 days by officials of the Government, from the General Directorate for the Surveillance of the Territory (DST). He was held incommunicado in a secret detention centre in Témara, Morocco where he describes he was beaten on the soles of his feet, experienced electric shocks to his testicles and was suspended for long periods from the wrists. The United Nations Working Group on Arbitrary Detention (WGAD) said that he was convicted on the sole basis of a confession extracted under torture. Call for justice for Ali Aarrass and survivors of torture; call on the Minister of Justice to open an investigation into the torture and implement the decision of the WGAD calling for his immediate release.

Lattes. How much clearer do I need to be?

We want TV meteorologists to understand that the public is depending on them for information about climate change, especially as it increasingly impacts our weather patterns. We know that meteorologists are most likely to respond to questions from their viewers, so we built this tool to make it easy for you to contact your local weather reporter.

Mara Jade is one of the most beloved figures in the Star Wars universe, despite having never before been featured in a Star Wars film. Disney's recent announcement de-canonizing nearly all of the Star Wars Expanded Universe, a canon lovingly and thoroughly fleshed out by hundreds of fans and contributors since the late 1970s, has put her fate at risk. Mara Jade deserves to live on in infamy, in official canon, a long time ago in a galaxy far, far away. Please help salvage the dreams of myself and thousands of others whose favorite Star Wars characters Disney has just killed. Write Mara Jade into Episode VII. You can alter her backstory as necessary; just give us her kick-ass personality and her lustrous red hair. Also, the new cast is very very male.
