Euro-Med Monitor report documents dozens of testimonies from Palestinian victims from Gaza who were subjected to sexual violence, including rape, inside Israeli prisons and detention centres.

Zero coverage of this that I've seen in UK state/corporate media

Suffragettes stage "Defend the Right Protest" rally, Trafalgar Square, London, 6/3/26

Ahead of International Women's Day activists dressed as suffragettes - the early 20th century direct action group who helped gain women the vote - protest in Trafalgar Square in pouring rain, calling for repeal of the Public Order Act 2023 which gave police and courts yet more powers to restrict and criminalise peaceful protest activity. The women, supporters of Fossil Free London, aim to highlight the unprecedented punishments given to climate campaigns for peaceful protest. By coincidence, the event took place the same day police raided the homes of "Take Back Power" activists, many of whom were arrested last night at Westminster Quaker Meeting House.
