“Civic space is under threat,” says Stand Up for Jamaica

Petchary's Blog

It has been said many times before: democracy is not just about voting every few years. It is about participation. If this does not happen – if citizens’ voices are muzzled and those seeking transparency and accountability in government are accused of all kinds of dubious motives by governments and their supporters – then, democracy is weakened. Whether these citizens are discussing stronger anti-corruption measures, environmental and climate justice, economic empowerment, or representing the most marginalised in society, their voices should be heard. Meanwhile, the so-called “Vale Royal Talks” between Jamaican Government and Opposition politicians will take place soon.

Il cambiamento climatico potrebbe causare un “disastro” negli oceani del mondo — MARY CALVO

Avoid Anger – Silent Songs of Sonsnow

“Like anyone else, I too have anger in me. However, I try to recall that anger is a destructive emotion. Scientists say anger is bad for our health; it eats into our immune system. It destroys our peace of mind. We shouldn’t welcome it or think of it as natural or as a friend.”

Charges against Rhianan Rudd, then 15, were dropped after evidence proved she had been groomed online by rightwing extremists

Jessica Murray Midlands correspondent | UK, Jan 7 2023

Charities say the case of a UK teenager who became the youngest girl to be charged with terror offences after online grooming by rightwing extremists should be a “wake-up call” about the online vulnerability of children.

Rhianan Rudd, who was 15 when charged, took her own life at a Nottinghamshire children’s home in May last year, when she was 16.
