Welcoming #JusticeReforms in #Scotland on @SkyNews
But rape myths- incl rough sex impact the way rape victims are treated in the courts - & has seen a huge rise in women not reporting rape. This is not just a judicial issue but a cultural one . We have to do something about it
Behaviour like this doesn’t happen in a vacuum. It is seen, witnessed, known about, and those who profit from it, the industry’s that profit say nothing and in doing so aid & abet misogyny & sexual abuse with their silence. On @SkyNews today on #RusselBrand case

Do you remember him?
The heroic director of Kamal Adwan Hospital, Dr. Hussam Abu Safiya — a historic symbol of courage, resilience, and humanity, shaped by the days and the hardships he endured.
They besieged him, injured him, pursued him, and threatened him.
His son, Ibrahim, was killed in an attempt to force the evacuation of Kamal Adwan Hospital. Dr. Hussam buried his son in the hospital courtyard, refused to abandon his patients, and returned to continue his medical and humanitarian duty.
He even refused to leave Gaza, despite holding another nationality along with his family.
He stood with a strength that even mountains could not withstand.
A kind heart.
An icon of resilience and integrity.
He was arrested and subjected to abuse after his voice grew hoarse from pleading with a silent world until the very end.
Free Dr. Hussam Abu Safiya.
This is a photograph of imprisoned doctor Hussam Abu Safiya beside his son Ibrahim, who was killed while we were under siege inside Kamal Adwan Hospital.
Today, Dr. Hussam remains detained in Israeli custody, facing ongoing allegations of torture and abuse. His family and supporters say this is the price he has paid for refusing to abandon his patients and continuing to provide medical care despite the siege, bombardment, and danger.
He was a doctor who carried a mission — and he paid for his commitment to that mission with his freedom, his safety, and the life he devoted to serving others.
His wife has made an urgent appeal to the world:
“Save my husband before it is too late. His only ‘crime’ was saving the wounded and treating the injuries of children.”
🔹 Dr. Hussam Abu Safiya, a doctor of humanity, behind bars for carrying out his humanitarian duty.
Do you remember Dr. Hussam Abu Safiya?
The director of Kamal Adwan Hospital, who remained beside his patients despite the siege, bombardment, and danger. He lost his son Ibrahim, then returned to continue his medical duty.
Dr. Hussam was detained in December 2024, and since then, there have been continued calls for transparency regarding the conditions of his detention and for his release.
A doctor who chose to stay beside his patients paid a heavy price with his freedom and safety.
Freedom for Dr. Hussam Abu Safiya.
Safety and protection for all doctors and patients in Gaza.

In Italia va spiegato che non tutti i sopravvissuti all'Olocausto stanno zitti dinanzi al genocidio dei palestinesi. Molti lo denunciano, a caro prezzo.
Stephen Kapos e' uno di loro.

Did you know? In 1975 the United Nations general assembly passed a resolution declaring "zionism is a form of racism & racial discrimination" (the resolution was revoked in 1991 because Israel made this a condition of its participation in peace talks)
Prof Susan Edwards retweeted
I think every Labour MP screaming that the Greens are now a racist, antisemitic party should directly explain why they think Stephen Kapos, a Holocaust survivor and supporter of the motion, is racist.
