Voices: Why are the British courts handing a propaganda win to the Myanmar junta?
The case hardly registered in the UK media. The ousted Myanmar ambassador to London, Kyaw Zwar Minn, was summoned to Westminster Magistrates’ Court on 30 May to face charges of trespassing in the ambassadorial residence.

He was then locked out of the embassy by diplomats supportive of the junta.

Repurposing the UNRWA in a post-truth world
In the post-truth, post-shame world of Donald Trump and Boris Johnson in which policies are flipped with a tweet, history is rewritten in a soundbite and "reality" made-over by a headline, the UNRWA's steadfast support for over five million Palestinian refugees, their rights and dignity has never been more important.
