"Hundreds of climate activists who have barricaded themselves in a protest camp on the site of an abandoned village in western Germany have said they are prepared to risk their lives to prevent it from being mined for coal.
An estimated 700 anti-coal protesters are preparing for a showdown with police. The number of protesters has grown in recent weeks as hundreds of activists from Germany and around the world join the protest."

"While the Islamic Republic has been gunning down and executing street protesters, it has also been arresting defense attorneys—at least 44 since September—to block their ability to seek justice for arbitrarily arrested activists and street protesters, according to research by the Center for Human Rights in Iran (CHRI)."

“From the otherworldly courage of young Iranians rising up, to the ever persevering women’s movement of Afghanistan, we are reminded in no uncertain terms that the freedom to dream is not simply a human luxury but rather a human need that must be fought and sacrificed for.”

We are organizing an “Edit A Thon” event (in Persian). The goal is to create wiki pages for the political prisoners in Iran who are at the immediate risk of execution. We collect information about them and putting it in one place to make it easy for Human Right groups to work on their case.

2/ “In the United States, only three wild species—mink, mule deer, and white-tailed deer—have tested positive, according to the USDA. While there is no evidence of SARS-CoV-2 spreading amongst deer populations in the U.K., cases have been detected in other mammals elsewhere in the world in wild black-tailed marmosets, big hairy armadillos, and a leopard.
But testing of wild animals is infrequent, and COVID-19 has likely impacted many more species, which emerging research is beginning to show.”
