« On l’appelait la Société impériale d’acclimatation zoologique. Reproduite aux États-Unis et en Europe, des milliers de personnes enlevées arrivaient de Patagonie, d’Afrique et d’Asie pour être exposées, violées, vendues et, après leur mort, leur corps analysé avec une extrême cruauté. Du bout du monde, la nouvelle étape du capitalisme que l’on appelle l’impérialisme s’affiche. »

Berta Cáceres était une militante écologiste hondurienne et défenseuse des droits des peuples autochtones, notamment de la communauté Lenca. Elle s’est distinguée par son opposition au projet de barrage hydroélectrique Agua Zarca, mené par l’entreprise Desarrollos Energéticos S.A. (DESA), qui menaçait les terres et les ressources en eau de sa communauté. Son engagement lui a valu le prix Goldman pour l’environnement en 2015. Le 3 mars 2016, Berta Cáceres a été assassinée à son domicile à La Esperanza, au Honduras. Malgré les mesures de précaution recommandées par la Commission interaméricaine des droits de l’homme pour assurer sa protection, elle n’avait pas reçu de protection adéquate de la part de l’État hondurien. L’enquête sur son assassinat a révélé l’implication de plusieurs individus liés à DESA et aux forces armées honduriennes. En novembre 2018, sept hommes ont été reconnus coupables de son meurtre, dont des employés de DESA et des militaires. En juillet 2021, Roberto David Castillo, ancien président de DESA, a été reconnu coupable d’avoir planifié l’assassinat de Berta Cáceres. Il a été condamné à 22 ans et 6 mois de prison en juin 2022. Cet assassinat a suscité une indignation internationale et mis en lumière les dangers auxquels sont confrontés les défenseurs de l’environnement et des droits humains au Honduras. (ChatGPT)

"The big picture: It's not yet clear how many military vets have been fired, or will be. Last year veterans made up 28% of the federal workforce, per federal data, a far bigger share than the 5% in the private sector. About 36% of the vets working in civil service, more than 200,000 in total, are disabled or have a serious health condition, per federal data. "This is the largest attack on veteran employment in our lifetime," said William Attig, the executive director of the Union Veterans Council, a labor group that represents many of these workers."

Turkey: Support TikTok Workers The Canadian technology company Telus provides services to TikTok and other major corporations in its operations in Turkey.  But their workers are suffering from low wages and psychologically exhausting working conditions. Performance targets are constantly rising, there is no job security, and arbitrary dismissals are taking place. Telus workers have unionised to demand a collective bargaining agreement. In response, the company started firing union representatives and changed its legal status to hinder union activities. Workers, who are now on the picket line in front of the Telus office in Izmir, are demanding better working conditions, recognition of their union rights, and the reinstatement of their colleagues who were dismissed.

How Trump Is Cooking His Own Goose.

As we prepared for tonight's USA-Canada hockey game, some at the White House couldn’t resist making a few questionable jokes. President Trump referred to ‘Governor Trudeau,’ the press secretary joked about Canada being the ‘51st state of the USA,’ and Vice President Vance even threatened to raise tariffs if Canada lost the game. Anyway, here’s a video in their honor!

FIRST PHOTO OF HOSPITAL DIRECTOR DR SAFIYA INSIDE ISRAELI PRISON Al Mezan’s (Palestinian NGO) lawyer met with Dr. Hussam Abu Safiya in Ofer Prison, where he was held in solitary confinement for 25 days. Dr. Safiya was forcibly stripped, shackled with his hands tightly bound, made to sit on sharp gravel for five hours. He also endured beatings with batons, electric shock sticks, and repeated blows to the chest. 10 hours of interrogation significantly worsened his health.
