Whilst the Syria-Turkey earthquake should have disrupted the growing racism against Syrian refugees in Turkey & led to solidarity amidst a disaster that has already taken 47,000 lives, some have used it to whip up even more hate, writes Sam Hamad.
The Tory government has made Brexit Britain a living hell for migrants who reach its shores. The targeting of vulnerable refugees is undermining human rights in the UK and the opposition is allowing it to happen, writes Sam Hamad.
Facing its worst financial crisis in modern history, the memories of revolution in Tahrir Square 12 years ago feel far removed from the realities of Egyptians today. The blame, writes Sam Hamad, lies with the Sisi regime.
Recent airstrikes in Syria by Russia, Israel and Turkey have not received adequate global attention. Syrians are paying with their lives as each power fights for its particular interests. Silence only adds to this tragedy, writes Sam Hamad.
Erdogan's deportation of Syrians is a clear attempt to desperately cling to power in the upcoming elections, and contradicts Turkey's initial support for refugees fleeing war, who now find themselves with no safe alternatives, writes Sam Hamad.
Sam Hamad argues that the Danish team’s kits protesting Qatar’s treatment of migrant workers is hypocritical given their silence over previous human rights violations, and their own mistreatment of refugees.
Since Queen Elizabeth II's death, there have been several arrests of critics of the monarchy and Prince Andrew, Sam Hamad explains why this is a disturbing repressive trend that he fears will continue given the scenes of subservience in recent weeks.
Sam Hamad argues that given the theatrics surrounding Cop26 in Glasgow last year, which was met with heavy opposition from climate activists, the choice of hosting Cop27 in Sisi's Egypt where dissent is violently crushed, is perhaps unsurprising.
Whilst in the past Sisi claimed to relieve the oppression of Christians in Egypt, Sam Hamad explains that the Abu Sefein Church fire is a painful reminder that violent sectarian laws which make many churches open to disaster, continue to exist.
The defence of Ukraine against Amnesty’s report criticising its forces for endangering civilians, is in stark contrast to the silence as Israel peddles the rhetoric that Palestinians are to blame when killed by their assaults, writes Sam Hamad.
