“Freedom is not a state; it is an act. It is not some enchanted garden perched high on a distant plateau where we can finally sit down and rest. Freedom is the continuous action we all must take, and each generation must do its part to create an even more fair, more just society." #JohnLewis #BlackHistoryMonth #BlackHistoryMatters #BlackLivesMatter #BLM

An Arab rights group calls for international help for 360 sub-Saharan #migrants who Libyan authorities say were abandoned in the desert by Tunisian police on the border with #Libya

The Cairo-based Arab Organization for Human Rights (AOHR) said it welcomed Libya's reception of the migrants who had "experienced difficult humanitarian conditions" before being picked up by Libyan border guards.

"According to Libyan border guards, 360 migrants including women and children need urgent humanitarian and medical aid," the AOHR's Libya chapter said, urging Libyan authorities to "authorise the concerned organisations -- the UN High Commissioner for Refugees and the International Organization for Migration -- to meet them and help with legal procedures".

REST IN POWER: MUTULU SHAKUR JOINS THE ANCESTORS!

We are saddened to hear the news that the Black Liberation Army elder, co-founder of The New Afrikan People's Organization and Tupac's stepfather, Mutulu Shakur, passed away after a lengthy battle with a rare form of blood cancer that was diagnosed back in July 2022 while incarcerated.

Shakur was a doctor of acupuncture and was the Co-Founder and Co-Director of the Black Acupuncture Advisory Association of North America (BAAANA) and the Harlem Institute of Acupuncture; both organisations devoted their time to improving health care for Africans in the United States and abroad. He was also a founding member of the National Committee to Free Political Prisoners. Shakur advocated against the illegal U.S.cointelpro program, which was designed to destroy the Black liberation struggles in the United States. Sadly he became a victim of that same program.

Shakur served more than 36 years behind bars for alleged involvement in a robbery and aiding black revolutionary Assata Shakur's escape from prison. Despite having qualified for parole much earlier, his requests had been denied ten times, including in April 2022, despite his affliction with bone-marrow cancer.

Shakur was diagnosed with myeloma in 2019, yet a judge rejected his request for compassionate release in 2020 and told Shakur's legal team that they could reapply at "the point of approaching death."

The parole commission said Mutulu Shakur has an impeccable institutional record, poses zero risk to society and is considered a mentor by many. His release highlights the cruel carceral system that primarily targets Blacks and other minorities, sucking their life out and only releasing them to die. The Bureau of Prison Doctors in May determined the 72-year-old had six months to live.

Shakur was released on December 16, 2022, sadly passing away seven months later on July 7, 2023.

May he rest in power!

Un homme de 27 ans est mort à #Marseille dans la nuit de samedi à dimanche. Il aurait été touché au thorax par un projectile de "type flash-ball" selon les premiers éléments de l'enquête (tir de LBD ou munition "beanbag" utilisée par le #RAID).

Selon le parquet, les premiers éléments de l’enquête « permettent de retenir comme probable un décès causé par un choc violent au niveau du thorax causé par le tir d’un projectile de « type flash-ball » . À ce stade, le lieu de l’impact n’est pas déterminé. « Des événements de type émeutes et pillages se déroulaient cette nuit-là dans le secteur, sans qu’il soit possible de déterminer si la victime y avait participé ou même si elle avait pu circuler dans une telle zone», précise le parquet .

### Blue, White, Red, France for the French! The militant extreme right took to the streets of Lyon to demonstrate last night!

This is a move seen in other cities where these fascist hooligans walk in neighborhoods to "protect" the "French", I have not seen any documented abuse of citizens by them but read that they harassed and verbally and physical attacked people of color as well as any Muslim or north African they met during their "protective" march.

These are scary scenes that bring back the fear of the rise of #fascism in #Europe, 100 years ago.

Let's hope that the story doesn't repeat itself!

We need to fight them in every corner and prevent them from acting like they stand for law and order!

« Bleu, blanc, rouge, la France aux Français ! » les militants d'extrême droite manifestent/patrouillent dans les rues de Lyon ce soir.

### UNCONFIRMED : The French government has questioned its telecom operators ( #Orange, àBouygues, #SFR, #Free), asking them if it was "technically possible" for them to cut off mobile data, 4G and 5G, in certain neighborhoods in France.

Suggested by Interior Minister Gérald @Darmanin, it would be to prevent rioters in the streets from communicating together, except at home trough àWifi.

In return, telecom operators immediately informed the government that cutting off such access was "technically unfeasible tonight", but "feasible later".

However, they also made it clear that :
Without a declared state of emergency, this is illegal.
Call for help and emergencies would be hindered, or made impossible.
Police and gendarmerie's high-speed broadband platform, "PC Storm", would not work.

For the time being, the #Elysée has decided not to enforce this measure. If the situation becomes tense, the Interior Minister's wishes may well come true.

The French government has not confirmed this information.

French police (Genderm) has deployed armored vehicles never used in action before according to ACTU17

This is an escalation of the conflict and one step before martial law. Several communes have enforced curfew between 10PM and 5AM and French judiciary has said during a press conference that families of minors letting their kids participate in riots will be prosecuted and fined 1000s of Euros.

Le gouvernement va déployer pour la première fois ce soir les nouveaux blindés de la gendarmerie. (Actu17)

Photo d'une des balles utilisée hier soir à Lille.

Il s'agirait de balle en plastique ou en caoutchouc tirée par un fusil à pompe Kel-Tec KSG-12 (calibre 12), une arme employée par le Raid et la BRI.

En 2019, des fusils à pompes Kel-Tec KSG avec des munitions en plastique avaient été utilisés par la #BRI à #Montpellier lors du mouvement des gilets jaunes. (#France 3)

The riots in Paris ilare spreading to other areas of the city. This is from Aubervilliers where I used to go shopping and eating various ethnic foods. The image is a screenshot of a video showing a massive fire with a bus and a building. Other sections of the video shows smaller fires all over the neighborhood.

A video of a massive demonstration in solidarity with the family of the victim of police shooting in Nanterre in Paris.

A sea of folk gathered together to show their support for the family of Nahel, the 17 year old boy of Algerian decent who was gunned down by the police during a "normal routine check".

This is the kind of image the right wing media and the racists don't want to see or show. The anger of unjustifiable murder of a young man by the police is widespread and not only limited to "immigrants".

This is not a race riot, it is an explosion of anger built up in years by those who were mistreated and abused by the police without ever receiving justice.

French police is out of control and with the union backing any kind of criminal actions of their members, the whole police core needs to be shaken and getting rid of those "bad apples" who think they are the judge, joury and executioner at the same time because they are wearing a badge.
