9 d. ago Conversations with strangers: inviting people to join my daily walk has made my life fuller | Jacqueline Asiimwe

From Kampala to Bangkok, I’ve walked with young and old, students and politicians, artists and ambassadors. Everyone has a story to tellIn the Uganda of the 1980s, my family lived in Kampala. We did not own a car, so walking was part of daily life: to school, to church, to the market, to the hospital and to visit relatives.As the eldest child, I often accompanied my mother to Owino market. We would walk there from our neighbourhood, Namirembe, and I’d trail behind her with a basket balanced on my head, collecting the week’s groceries. Those early walks were not just about errands – they were quiet rituals of bonding, observation and endurance. Continue reading...

1 week ago Israel fears the threat of trade sanctions — but is the EU ready to follow through? | Martin Konečný

A human rights review of EU-Israel ties is under way. The results will be significant for both the war and Europe’s reputationAfter many months of inaction and complicity in the face of Israel’s destruction of Gaza, Europe is finally beginning to stir. Tens of thousands of people killed and attacks on schools and hospitals had apparently not been enough. But, along with the blocking of humanitarian aid and open calls for ethnic cleansing, Israel’s actions finally became too severe to ignore, deny or justify. In recent weeks, a cascade of unusually strong statements, diplomatic rebukes and threats of sanctions has emerged from European capitals – each move amplifying the next, as if a long-dormant herd has suddenly jolted into motion.Among these developments, the most significant may be the possible suspension of the EU-Israel association agreement, which grants Israel preferential access to the world’s largest single market. Last month, the Dutch foreign minister, Caspar Veldkamp, b...

3 w. ago ‘When power can define madness’: China accused of using mental health law to lock up critics

More than a decade after China passed a groundbreaking mental health law, victims and activists say that involuntary hospitalisation remains commonZhang Po was barely one year out of school when an out of control mine-cart barrelled into him deep in a pit in Anhui province, causing injuries that ended his brief career as a coalminer. Since the accident in 1999, he has been living off disability allowances provided by his former employer in Huainan, Anhui’s coal city. But in 2024 Zhang was sent to hospital once again – this time to a psychiatric ward.Zhang was sectioned for 22 days in June after he protested outside the office of his former employer, demanding an increase in his disability allowance. “I endured more than 20 days of humiliation in there. There was no phone, and my belt and shoelaces were taken away,” Zhang said in a recent interview with Chinese media. Zhang said that he was forced to take medicines and tied to his bed for several hours a day. After the three weeks in...
