With Russian embassies across Europe emptied of spies, capitals like Belgrade and Sarajevo have become magnets.
At least 29 of 78 diplomatic staff at Russia's embassy in Serbia are linked to or may have ties to Russian intelligence services, Agentstvo reported. Nineteen employees have links to the Defense Ministry or GRU, while others are linked to the FSB or SVR. Several others have backgrounds, addresses or previous jobs suggesting possible intelligence ties. Russia has only 18 diplomats in Bulgaria, whose population is similar to Serbia's.
Bravo @todorovicsophia ❤️

Recently, I have found it very difficult to talk to people even about things as banal as grocery store prices.
One evening at a Pyaterochka supermarket in northeast Moscow, a middle-aged woman brushed off my question about the rising cost of living. “Everything is fine with our prices!”
Few people were willing to even respond to my requests to speak with them. So I had to turn to my own receipts to look at how hard inflation has hit Russia.

Amnesty International’s new landmark 1000+page report exposes how the Iranian authorities committed crimes against humanity to crush the 2022 Woman Life Freedom uprising and identifies 87 officials who should be criminally investigated.
Amnesty International is calling for urgent international criminal justice to end impunity for repeated mass protest killings in Iran.
For those who followed closely the Thaci et al trial, the guilty verdict was an expected outcome. The trial included 165 participating victims, most of them Albanians and Serbs. Survivors and family members gave harrowing testimony about torture, unlawful detention and murder.
Sadly, much of the media coverage focused on defendants, the politics surrounding the court, and the nature of the KLA struggle, creating a false expectation that the acquittals were likely.
A summary of the verdict is available here 👉

On 16 Sep, the 4-year anniversary of the #WomanLifeFreedom uprising @amnesty will publish a landmark 1000+ page report on crimes under international law committed by Iran's authorities during the 2022 deadly crackdown. We'll be live-posting from a press conference at 10am UK time
It is quite embarrassing that a court in The Hague can’t guarantee the safety of the visitors. What is the point of establishing an "outreach network" if its members are unable to safely attend the trial verdict?
The Dutch city and the war crimes court are on alert, with thousands expected to gather in support of former Kosovo Liberation Army leaders ahead of their trial verdict.

Netanyahu told Blinken, to his face, that he was blocking humanitarian aid as a form of collective punishment.
This alone should have automatically triggered U.S. laws prohibiting arms transfers.
"Netanyahu agreed to let in only a small amount of supplies, which would have to come through Rafah... he also asked that this minor concession remain secret. He feared a domestic backlash for not starving Gaza’s women, children, and other civilians.’ ”

Marco Rubio's attacks on the International Criminal Court are no surprise. As Secretary of State, he has been the chief architect of the Trump administration's assault on international human rights, writes @amklasing in @ForeignPolicy: bit.ly/4f4Xg1f
