World BrieflyUN human rights chief goes scorched-earth on US Cuba sanctions: 'children are dying'
oatmealIsrael abducted two humanitarian activists from international waters 1,000km from Gaza, held them without charge, tortured them in custody, and now a court has rubber-stamped their continued detention - because Israeli courts claim jurisdiction anywhere on earth. The UN says release them immediately. Spain and Brazil call it kidnapping. Italy opened a criminal investigation. Israel doesn't care.
[...] Adalah's lawyers argued that every time the activists leave their cell - including for medical examinations - they are completely blindfolded. They said this violates medical ethics standards. The state has so far withheld most details about the grounds for detention, citing concerns about compromising the investigation - and speculation is growing that the detention stems from intelligence on the two men unrelated to their flotilla activities.

"Speculation is growing" reflects the familiar Israeli media habit of laundering government opacity as neutral ambiguity on grounds of national security. The original Hebrew is passive and sourceless, obscuring the fact that this "speculation" almost certainly originates from security sources leaking (if not dictating) to Israeli media.

Marie 🇸🇪The horrific reality for people of Gaza & Israel since 7 October 2023 detailed in report by @UNHumanRights
Close to 70% of those killed in Gaza are children & women. Unprecedented violations of IHL give rise to concerns of atrocity crimes. The violence must stop immediately.
