Southwark gains another Green Party councillor from Labour Socialist and community activist councillor Reginald Popoola has joined the Green Party. He becomes the Green Party’s third new Southwark Council councillor in three months. Councillors Kath Whittam and [Sam Foster][1] joined the party, also from Labour, in November and December 2025. Popoola will now serve as a Green Party councillor and will stand in May’s elections for the Rye Lane Ward. He promises to continue to work hard for the local community and work collaboratively with colleagues and councillors across all other parties for the benefit of all residents. ## Southwark born and raised In Popoola’s resignation letter to Labour group leader Sarah King he described himself as a Black working class born and raised resident of Southwark. Referring to Labour policies under Keir Starmer, he says he’s seen first-hand: > the damage that these actions have on our diverse communities in Southwark. In the letter Popoola speaks of residents who feel Labour has turned its back on improving the fundamentals of people’s lives, instead choosing to protect those at the top while those at the bottom pay the price. Popoola attended local schools and has a legal background with local authorities. Popoola said: > I have made the decision to join the Green Party as its core values of social justice, ecological > sustainability and genuine member engagement more closely align with my principles and the > future I want to build not only in Southwark but across the UK. He added that while Labour promised hope and change when it took power in 2024, by 2026 that promise has proven hollow. He said the Greens now offer the real change Southwark’s communities have been calling for. Southwark Green Party council leader Foster said: > Reginald is an incredibly hard-working and talented Councillor who I am proud to call a friend. This is a huge loss for Labour, which has turned against Southwark communities through its racist > attacks on migrants, pro-developer housing policy, and threats to defund local services. The Greens represent everyone facing high bills and insecure or substandard housing, and we believe local services should be high-quality and properly funded. Cllr Popoola will be a powerful champion for the better future that the Greens are working to deliver for Southwark residents. ## Green Party councillor surge Popoola is part of the “Green Wave” of councillors defecting to the Green Party across the UK. He’s the third councillor to leave Labour in Southwark after what was dubbed the ‘summer of chaos’ in the Southwark Labour Party. Labour Party HQ removed democratically elected leader, primary school teacher James McAsh, and replaced him with property developer lobbyist King. Local trade unions described the process as “[an assault on party ][2][democracy][3]“. The Green Party’s national membership has surged since September 2025, from 68,000 on 2 September 2025, to 184,000 as of 17 December 2025. This surpasses the reported membership of the Conservative Party and is more than double that of the Liberal Democrats. Kelly Shields, Co-Chair of the Southwark Green Party said: > It is fantastic to welcome Reginald Poopola to the Green Party in Southwark. This is only the beginning of the Green surge in our borough. Reginald is our third councillor to join in three months – momentum is building, local and national membership is at an all time high and we have set our sights on the May elections and getting some big wins. ## Popoola’s resignation letter > Councillor Reginald Popoola > > Resignation letter > > Dear Sarah, > > I have today decided to resign from the Labour Party and relinquish my deputy cabinet role effective immediately. > > It has been a difficult decision to take after considerable reflection. I wish to thank my local party for nurturing me into the person I am today and special thanks to my ward colleague Cllr Gavin Edwards who has taught me a lot in the role, alongside the friends I made along the way. > > I am honoured to have served Nunhead and Queens Road ward since 2022, a place where I was born and raised. Considerable local wins include the creation of various road safety measures in troubled hotspots, increased street cleaning and the saving of local bus routes which are vital to residents. > > However, I cannot in good conscience continue to be a member of the Labour Party. From demonising migrants for political gain, continued austerity hurting the most vulnerable and the rigging of internal Southwark Council elections, the party has turned its back to the many in favour of the few. > > I am a black working class man from Southwark who has seen the damage that these actions have on our diverse communities in Southwark. Our residents know that Labour has turned their back on improving the fundamentals of their lives, loading on harm to those at the bottom in favour of those at the top. > > I have made the decision to join the Green Party as its core values of social justice, ecological > sustainability and genuine member engagement more closely align with my principles and the future I want to build not only in Southwark but across the UK. > > I will continue to serve the rest of my term as a Green Councillor and will stand in 2026 for the Greens in Rye Lane Ward. > > The Green Party offers a message of real hope and change that residents cried out for years and which the Labour Party promised when they came to power in Westminster in 2024. In 2026, Labour have shown that the hope they promised was a facade. The Labour Party have disappointed people like me, but the Greens advocate for the change that our communities so desperately need. > > Vote Green [💚] > > Cllr Reginald Popoola *Featured image via Southwark Green Party* By [The Canary][4] [1]:

Speculation is rife that Maduro could get off on a technicality In response to a published court transcript, one journalist has suggested that the case against the [recently kidnapped][1] president Maduro of [Venezuela][2] might already be lost: > What you may have missed in this is the subtle claim that Maduro was not read his Miranda rights. > > It’s clear his lawyer will be absolutely contesting both the jurisdiction and process. > > And because of Trump’s buffoonery, we may end up having to just return Maduro to Venezuela. [https://t.co/HVCbhSkna3][3] > > — Adam Cochran (adamscochran.eth) (@adamscochran) [January 6, 2026][4] ## What are Miranda rights – and how could they affect Maduro? [Miranda rights][5] are a vital feature of the US legal system, having been afforded in 1966 after the case of Miranda v Arizona. The case established a long-cherished legal safeguard for American citizens, stipulating that legal rights must be communicated to individuals in police custody before interrogation. If there is any reasonable doubt that those rights were not communicated to and understood by the individual in custody (Maduro), any subsequent information or evidence gathered can no longer be used as evidence in a criminal trial. The court transcript read: > Judge: Are you Nicolas Maduro Moros? > > Maduro: I am the President of Venezuela. I consider myself a prisoner of war. I was captured at my home in Caracas. > > Judge: Let me intervene. There will be time for this. > > Judge: I only want to know—are you Nicolas Maduro Moros? > > Maduro: Yes. > > Judge: Have you been served the indictment? > > Defense lawyer: We waive the public reading. > > Maduro: I have it in my hands for the first time. I prefer to read it personally. > > Judge: Anything you say may be used against you. I see you have counsel here, Mr. Pollack. If you cannot afford one, the government will provide a lawyer free of charge. Did you know of these rights? > > Maduro: I did not know of these rights until now. > > Judge: How do you plead? > > Maduro: I am innocent. I am a decent man. I am President of Venezuela. > > Defense lawyer: The plea is not guilty on all counts. Legal rights are essential in ensuring that hard-won civil rights are afforded in situations where the state often has unparallelled power over the citizen. Many a criminal case have been seen to collapse on a technicality, whether there was merit or not to any criminal allegations. For instance, [Alec Baldwin saw the case against him collapse][6] due to an infringement of his Brady Rights under US law. > Alec Baldwin charged with manslaughter for shooting on “Rust” film set. > > Follow: [@AFpost][7] [pic.twitter.com/ktYbCIOFuR][8] > > — AF Post (@AFpost) [January 19, 2024][9] > A judge in New Mexico dismissed the case against Alec Baldwin on Friday after finding that the state had withheld evidence that could have shed light on how live rounds got onto a film set where the cinematographer was fatally shot. [https://t.co/odmrwvxxp8][10] [pic.twitter.com/LQKbkQktfR][11] > > — The New York Times (@nytimes) [July 12, 2024][12] However, this is new territory with such a flagrant breach of international law, so time will tell whether this will be the ‘straw that breaks the camel’s back’ in the US case against Maduro. This X account suggests the oil billionaires might even end up missing out on the spoils of Trump’s extraterritorial posturing: > Just one reason the big oil companies are hesitant about a return to Venezuela. They don’t know if Maduro is going to be convicted & if he’s not, he returns to Venezuela & again, the big oil companies are out. Hence, Trump puts taxpayers on the hook as a guarantee. > > — Sandi Anthony (@SandiAnthony1) [January 6, 2026][13] As always, the people who are left with the fallout from corrupt politicians are hard-working taxpayers, whilst the powerful get off scot-free. > This is my issue with Trump. It’s not even the outright tyranny of it all, it’s that he can’t even be bothered to be a tyrant correctly [https://t.co/SRCeBY3k6n][14] > > — Joe Roche (@JRoche3MR) [January 6, 2026][15] ## Quite embarrassing really Trump has made no secret of his distaste for ‘lefty lawyers’ and ‘wokeism’. So, when we see him then use the legal system in order to achieve the desires of his billionaire buddies in the oil industry, it feels all the more disingenuous. The irony is he can’t even do this right, with Maduro potentially able to escape Trumps ‘justice’ simply because US agents didn’t read the (short) legally mandated statement of rights. *Featured image via [Palacio d Plannalto][16]* By [Maddison Wheeldon][17] [1]:

Polanski highlights that CEOs have already made YOUR yearly wage Zack Polanski has taken to X to highlight that we have now passed the point of the year when CEOs’ earnings surpass the average person’s annual income. Addressing the futility of the current wealth inequality, Polanski used this to make another push for a wealth tax: > We can’t go on like this. > > In just two days, the average FTSE 100 CEO has made a median workers full time annual salary. > > The right calls this “wealth creation”. > > It’s wealth extraction. > > Time to tax the rich.[@HighPayCentre][1][https://t.co/sb00QF9tMR][2] > > — Zack Polanski (@ZackPolanski) [January 6, 2026][3] ## Wealth extractors: not wealth generators Polanski refers to the findings of the [High Pay Centre][4], who revealed that by lunchtime on 6 January, [FTSE 100 ‘fat cats’][5] were already earning over and above the average UK worker. Even more sickeningly, Peter Dilnot (CEO of Melrose) had to put in just two-hours work to meet the compensation afforded for a median-income worker’s annual graft. Polanski makes the point that CEOs on exorbitant salaries, £4.4m on average, are actually extracting wealth from society. This is in reference to the tired, virtue-signalling defence that these CEOs are ‘wealth-generators’ and the backbone of our economy. [In an article we published yesterday][6], we highlighted a new measure which could partially address this wealth disparity: > In December, the Employment Rights Act received Royal assent. The new law includes measures promising to give trade unions reasonable access to workplaces to speak to workers and requiring employers to inform new employees of their right to join a union. The decline in trade union membership is widely recognised to have been a key factor in rising CEO to worker pay gaps and widening inequality that has occurred in the UK and across other Western countries since the 1980s. It’s also notable that while workers [have seen their wages depreciate in real terms][7], the ability for CEOs to meet the average income in two days has been well sustained for many years. [We wrote a decade ago on this exact issue][8], signifying that inequality has been maintained despite years of calls for a wealth tax. Accounts on X have been quick to point out under Polanski’s post that systemic changes are needed to really address this issue: > Not just tax the rich, but fundamentally change the system that leads to hideous extremes. Why not insist that a nurse is valued the same as a “merchant banker” or “hedge fund manager” [#Socialism][9] [#VoteGreen][10] [🌎] > > — Dave The Cardboard Box (@dave_cardboard) [January 6, 2026][11] > Wealth extraction is exactly the correct term. > > Taxing some of it back is ok, but it's a tough task as the wealthy use their money to hire accountants, lawyers and politicians to fight their tax bills. > > Way better if we nationalise assets so they dont get rich in the 1st place. > > — Chris Corney (@ChrisCorney1) [January 6, 2026][12] As well as Polanski, Your Party MP Zarah Sultana has been a fierce advocate for full democratic reform. This call follows decades of systemic attacks by successive neoliberal governments that have seen state assets sold off on the cheap, whilst taxpayers value for money has plummeted. > We need to nationalise our economy because the working class can run society better than the billionaires, the profiteers and the war criminals who rule over us today. [pic.twitter.com/bAxIasbmYe][13] > > — Zarah Sultana MP (@zarahsultana) [December 7, 2025][14] [As we covered][15], Sultana further explained what she meant by ‘nationalising the economy’: > That looks like a socialist transformation of the country where we nationalise utilities, we nationalise energy, we nationalise transport, we nationalise communications, including the internet. We also have to broaden our horizons. ## Polanski and Sultana on the money We have repeatedly been spoon-fed the narrative that fat cat CEOs are essential to our economy and create wealth in British society. However, with workers incomes depreciating over the last decade while billionaire profits soar, it is becoming ever clearer that the real generators of wealth are the hard-working people beneath them. As Polanski and Sultana astutely point out, we need to put these fat cats on a diet. *Featured image via [Wikimedia][16] / [Barold][17]* By [Maddison Wheeldon][18] [1]:

Starmer set to send UK troops to Ukraine – but on one condition UK troops will take on[ a peacekeeping role][1] in Ukraine. But only if a deal is signed with [Russia][2]. The UK signed up to potential deployments on 6 January 2026. The agreement was made in Paris at a meeting of Ukraine’s European allies. ## UK troops in Ukraine The deal means the UK effectively agreed to deploy peacekeeping forces. But covert units have been in Ukraine since the start of the war. Starmer [told][3] reporters: > We signed a declaration of intent on the deployment of forces to Ukraie in the event of a peace deal. > > This is a vital part of our commitment to stand with Ukraine for the long-term. Starmer said it was a step towards security and regeneration: > It paves the way for the legal framework under which British, French, and partner forces could operate on Ukrainian soil, securing Ukraine’s skies and seas, and regenerating Ukraine’s armed forces for the future. ## Split support and dirty wars Russia invaded Ukraine in 2021. Since then, over one million people have been [killed or injured][4]. And the Trump administration is pushing for a quick resolution. Ukrainian leader Volodymyr Zelensky used his new year address to say a peace deal [is 90% ready][5]. But it’s more complicated than just signing a deal. European states have split [on deploying troops into the country][6]: > Italy’s Georgia Meloni and Poland’s Donald Tusk said after the talks that their nations would not contribute troops to any mission to Ukraine. German chancellor Friedrich Merz said German troops could contribute to a force, but would be based in neighbouring countries, not inside Ukraine. The truth is that UK already has troops in Ukraine. In fact, special and elite forces have been working inside Ukraine for years. A British soldier [died in Ukraine][7] in December 2025. George Hooley was there testing a drone interception system. Yet SAS troops [have been in][8] Ukraine since 2021. Ukrainian forces have been train by the SAS. The secret soldier have reportedly carried out [assassinations][9] too. Keir Starmer has made no mention of how many troops will deploy. Emmanuel Macron has made no comment either. Ultimately, their exact role remains a mystery too. *Featured image via the Canary* By [Joe Glenton][10] [1]:

UK private contractor Palantir was ‘founded to kill communists’ The UK government’s relationship with Palantir has always been controversial, and it’s looking worse and worse by the day: > The UK Ministry of Defence signed a £240 million contract with Palantir last month. [https://t.co/51ArogysfA][1] > > — Ross Greer (@Ross_Greer) [January 6, 2026][2] ## Palantir: American psycho Joe Lonsdale is an American venture capitalist. [As you can see from his *Wikipedia*][3], he looks like the result of Captain America inbreeding with himself for several generations: While Lonsdale is no longer part of Palantir, he was indeed a founder, and as such he should have some knowledge of its founding principles. It’s also entirely believable that Palantir was established to maximise human misery given what we know about the company. [As Joe Glenton reported for the *Canary*][4][ in December 2025][5], a new book claimed that Israel used Palantir tech in its 2024 pager attack: > The Israel pager attack killed twelve, including two children, and injured nearly 3000 people. The second Israeli attack with weaponised walkie-talkies killed twenty five and injured 600 people. Reporting on an anti-Palantir protest in October 2025, [HG wrote][6]: > The company won a controversial £330m contract to create a centralised data management platform for the NHS. It also won contracts with British police departments and social services. The NHS contract caused outrage amongst health workers who are forced to witness the relentless killing of their Palestinian colleagues, and the targeted destruction of all health infrastructure in Palestine. Additionally: > In-Q-Tel, the CIA’s venture capital arm, helped fund the creation of Palantir. The Co-founder, Peter Thiell, has a long history of financial support for politicians who promote Christian nationalist and white supremacist politics. The firm also plays a central role in Trump’s White House. This includes taking on a recent $10bn contract with the US army, and a $30m contract to play a central role in ICE’s brutal immigration crackdown. We also reported on how Peter Thiel – another bigwig – [was an associate of Jeffrey Epstein][7]. So that’s good. ## The military industrial complex It’s important to remember that America doesn’t have military contractors to support its wars; it has wars to support its military contractors. Famously, president Dwight D. Eisenhower described this phenomenon in 1961, calling it the ‘[military industrial complex][8]‘: > A vital element in keeping the peace is our military establishment. Our arms must be mighty, ready for instant action, so that no potential aggressor may be tempted to risk his own destruction. . . . > > American makers of plowshares could, with time and as required, make swords as well. But now we can no longer risk emergency improvisation of national defense; we have been compelled to create a permanent armaments industry of vast proportions. . . . > > This conjunction of an immense military establishment and a large arms industry is new in the American experience. . . . > > Yet we must not fail to comprehend its grave implications. . . . > > In the councils of government, we must guard against the acquisition of unwarranted influence, whether sought or unsought, by the military-industrial complex. > > The potential for the disastrous rise of misplaced power exists and will persist. Eisenhower’s warning came to pass, and Palantir is the very embodiment of it. [For more on the industrialised murder of communists][9], we’d advise familiarising yourself with the rise of the German Nazi Party. *Featured image via [Holocaust Encyclopedia][10] / [Tech Crunch][11]* By [Willem Moore][12] [1]:

We don’t care what these suits are; we just think it’s funny when bad people sue each other. ## The worst people you know are fighting The following is the tweet Lowles references above: > Tommy Robinson pretending to be anti-drugs…. > > …..for many years he was one of Luton’s main cocaine dealers [pic.twitter.com/u6nQO4MHhQ][2] > > — Nick Lowles (@lowles_nick) [January 3, 2026][3] Lowles was confident tommy Robinson wouldn’t sue him: > For all those people urging Tommy Robinson to sue me for calling him a (former) drug dealer…. > > I’ve got some bad news for you…. > > I’m only repeating a claim I made (in detail) in my book Tommy, which was published in 2022 > > He didn’t sue then and he won’t sue now. [pic.twitter.com/U8Ivofnf7G][4] > > — Nick Lowles (@lowles_nick) [January 4, 2026][5] While he’s shied away from suing Lowles, Tommy Robinson is most definitely suing Farage. [As reported by the *London Economic*][6], Robinson sent a pre-action letter to Farage in December last year. The legal action relates to Farage claiming Robinson has convictions for violence against women. Robinson himself said: > I do not have any convictions for violence against women, this is a matter of public record. The statement has done serious harm to my reputation and will do so until you apologise. You made that statement while I was imprisoned, which made it harder to defend myself. > > Subject to what you say in your pre-action Letter of Response, I may commence proceedings unless we can reach an agreed outcome including an apology in an agreed-upon form of words, via a pinned tweet and the payment of a sum in damages Farage made the comments in January but still hadn’t retracted by December, forcing Robinson to take action. If Robinson wants to protect his reputation, we’d personally advise him to stop [pal-ing around with alleged human traffickers][7] and sucking up to [convicted sexual assaulters][8], but suing Farage is also good. Oh, and on whether Robinson needs to solicit donations, [the *Mirror* reported his net worth as being between £1-2m in October 2024][9]. Given that [Robinson enjoyed the platform-boosting attention of Elon Musk for most of 2025][10], he could be doing considerably better than that now if those estimates were accurate. ## Tommy Robinson vs Nigel Farage: let them fight Regarding the upcoming legal saga between Tommy Robinson and Nigel Farage, one right winger said the following: > I'm looking forward to the confusion of who the left are going to cheer on when Tommy Robinson sues Nigel Farage for defamation of character. > > The poor lambs won't know what to do. Bless them. > > — Alan Beresford B'Stard parody. (@JBradshaw17775) [January 7, 2026][11] Believe it or not, Mr B’Stard Parody, this has actually come up before. In fact, right-wing infighting is so common that we have multiple memes for it: Let them fight indeed. *Featured image via [Supreme Court][12] / [Gage Skidmore][13]* By [Willem Moore][14] [1]:

Tommy Robinson allegedly begs for money to sue Nigel Farage

Tommy Robinson and Nigel Farage may be going to court very soon, and we cannot stress this enough: LET. THEM. FIGHT.

Richard Tice just made a huge Freudian slip live on TV [Speaking][1] on *Sky News*, [Reform’s][2] Richard Tice let slip that capitalists are milking child social care for profit: > Private equity owned independent schools are making off like bandits while outcomes for the most needy children are not improving. So those are the sorts of things that we need to look at to get better outcomes for children, while reducing costs. Then, presenter Trevor Phillips asked: > Hang on, Reform is going to nationalise social care? Tice swiftly backtracked: > I didn’t say that, I just said there are things you can do better > Richard Tice accidentally lets slip that the privatisation of SEND services means private equity groups are “making off like bandits” i.e. robbing the taxpayer > > Then swiftly backtracks when he realises he just criticised the privatisation of public services [pic.twitter.com/A9nLqePb1x][3] > > — Farrukh (@implausibleblog) [January 4, 2026][4] ## Richard Tice was inadvertently right Of course, Richard Tice was right (even though he didn’t mean to be). Private schools are consistently charging the public purse (through local councils) [£250,000][5] per year, per child to educate children with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND). One private school that Abu Dhabi wealth fund Mubadala owns has local councils as its key client. It’s making £44.6m per year in profit. That’s after a 494% increase in revenues from 2014-2024. The thing with private education in general is that it takes resources and expertise away from public education. And of course, with SEND, it’s vulnerable children that capitalists are profiteering from. The extraction of resources (through profit) is true of the UK’s [care system as a whole][6]. A collaboration between the Centre for Local Economic Strategies (CLES), the Centre for Thriving Places (CTP), Co-operatives UK and the New Economics Foundation notes that: > Over the past few decades, care has been turned into something to profit from rather than a public good. Private equity firms, hedge funds and offshore billionaire owners now dominate the sector, using debt, rent, and complex ownership structures to pull money out — not just from the care system, but from our local economies too. While the services themselves struggle to stay afloat, these owners can pay directors huge salaries and hand out big dividends, while frontline staff work long hours for low pay and little security. ## SEND pupil funding In December, Labour [announced][7] £3bn in funding for SEND pupils. But it’s unclear how much of that will be eaten up via local councils paying private schools or through the government subsidising private schools themselves. What is clear is that Richard Tice was accidentally spot on with his assessment of the privatisation of public services. It enables capitalists to ‘make off like bandits’ with guaranteed profit from basic essentials. *Featured image via the Canary* By [James Wright][8] [1]:

Trump’s new Venezuela plan is utterly batshit Following the US’s [abduction][1] of Venezuela president Nicolás Maduro, Donald Trump has announced his intention to buy oil from the country… at a fair price: > -randomly kidnap leader of country > -buy oil from that country at market rate, which they have been asking you to do for ages. > > They are calling it the most baffling move in history. [https://t.co/cps9gBV5Y4][2] > > — NOT Potato Bolshevik (@NotPotBol) [January 7, 2026][3] So what’s actually going on here? ## Trump’s resource colonialism in Venezuela There are a few things to note and consider here. The first and most obvious is that [there are no fair deals with the United States][4]. Regardless of how Trump is presenting this, we all know this deal is going to benefit oil executives first and foremost. Perhaps the Venezuelans have [managed to negotiate][5] an unusually favourable deal, but if that is the case, it means they’re now linked to an [increasingly unpredictable rogue state][6]. [As we’re seeing with Greenland][7], America’s ‘allies’ cannot rely on the US to stick to its promises. Even if they pay market rates today, that’s no guarantee they’ll pay them tomorrow. As the following from *ABC* journalist Rachel Scott elaborates, [Venezuela really would be attached at the hip to America][8]: > New: The Trump administration told Venezuela’s interim president the regime must meet several conditions before being allowed to pump more oil, according to three people familiar with the administration’s plan > > Among those demands: > – the country must kick out China, Russia, Iran, and Cuba and sever economic ties > – Venezuela must agree to partner exclusively with the U.S. on oil production and favor America when selling heavy crude oil The problem is that oil is yesterday’s resource. China is one of the biggest buyers of oil from countries outside the US sphere of influence, but that’s changing. Specifically, it’s changing because [Chinese solar technology is exceeding growth expectations][9], and so are [Chinese electric vehicles][10]. As a result of China needing fewer fossil fuels, the value of Iran’s oil has plummeted, and this economic uncertainty is feeding into the current uprising against the regime. ## Short termism America has tarnished its reputation around the world to secure access to a resource it already has which is undoubtedly going to decrease in value. If it’s true [elements of the Venezuelan government worked with Trump to banish Maduro][11], they may come to regret this move when the price of oil dips and the US loses interest in them. *Featured image via [Wikimedia][12]* By [Willem Moore][13] [1]:

Trump's new Venezuela plan is utterly batshit

Trump has announced a plan to pay Venezuela 'market price' for their oil, but will they actually follow through on that?

Israel bombs Palestinian girl as she plays with friend – then claims she was a ‘terrorist’ [Israel][1] has bombed and killed Dana Abu Ma‘rouf, a seven-year-old little Palestinian girl in Gaza, as she played outside, in the Muwasi ‘safe zone’, with her young friends. The friends, sisters five-year-old Hiba and seven-year-old Maryam Abu Jalal, were wounded in the same attack. The bombing was far from Israel’s so-called ‘security’ ‘yellow zone’. ## Israel just murdered Dana Abu Ma‘rouf The [occupation military][2] released drone footage of the bombing: > قبل قليل، اخترقت إسرائيل اتفاقية وقف إطلاق النار واغتالت الطفلة دانا أبو معروف عندما كانت تلعب مع صديقاتها في مواصي خانيونس، وادعت إسرائيل أنها هاجمت “إرهابيًا يستعد لتنفيذ هجوم قريب”. > وأصيبت الطفلتان الشقيقتان هبة ومريم أبو جلال، البالغان من العمر 5 و7 سنوات. > > الأطفال الثلاثة هل… [pic.twitter.com/sF2vEVKbFz][3] > > — Tamer | تامر (@tamerqdh) [January 5, 2026][4] Israel claimed that the footage showed it bombing “a terrorist preparing an imminent attack”. Dana Abu Ma’rouf’s family released video showing her before burial. X appears to be preventing the post being embedded, so the clip is shown below: [https://www.thecanary.co/wp-content/uploads/2026/01/8vvqGEbbO5hNhINy1.mp4][5] Israeli anti-genocide activist Yoel H, who posted the clip, said: > One of those killed today in the humanitarian bombings is the girl Dana from Arraba. Dana was bombed in a tent of displaced people in the ‘safe zone’ Muwasi. The army has no reason to continue committing crimes and bombing displaced children in tents. Truly, there is none. The UK ‘mainstream’ media have ignored Dana’s killing, just as they have ignored most of Israel’s 400+ murders in Gaza during the ‘ceasefire’. *Featured image via the Canary* By [Skwawkbox][6] [1]:

Swiss court rules Electronic Intifada director abduction and deportation was illegal A Zurich court has [ruled][1] that the [arrest][2] and deportation of [Palestinian-American journalist][3] and *Electronic Intifada* (EI) director Ali Abunimah in January 2025 was illegal. The [United Nations][4] and [Swiss human rights groups][5] [condemned][6] the Swiss police’s actions. ## Ali Abunimah’s abduction illegal Ali Abunimah was [abducted off the street][7] by plainclothes police after arriving in Switzerland to speak at an event, held for two days and then [summarily deported][8]. The [police agency director behind his abduction subsequently took a highly-paid job][9] with an Israeli firm run by the [IDF general responsible for the “General’s Plan” to force Palestinians to choose between being ethnically cleansed or murdered][10]. Now the Administrative Court of the Canton of Zurich has ruled that the police’s actions were unlawful and violated both the Swiss constitution and the European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR). In an article about the ruling, Abunimah said that it: > totally vindicates my position that there was no legal basis whatsoever for me to be abducted off the street by plainclothes officers on 25 January 2025, while I was on my way to speak at an event focused on the Israeli genocide in Gaza. Abunimah said of his experience: > I was thrown in a cell for three days, without being allowed to contact my family or communicate with the outside world, and then forcibly deported. > > These illegal actions ensured that I was unable to participate in public or media events aimed at informing people in Switzerland about the genocide in Gaza and the complicity of Swiss institutions in these ongoing crimes. The Canton court ruled that the Zurich police’s actions were illegal because they had no lawful basis to target Abunimah, so any orders issued to arrest him were unlawful and he was never given any valid reasons for his detention. The court ordered the Canton of Zurich to pay Abunimah’s legal costs. He has now said that he plans to apply for compensation for the illegal detention and will donate any monies “to the direct benefit of survivors and victims of the Israeli genocide.” ## More to follow Ali Abunimah also has two other appeals still in process against an entry ban placed on him and the expulsion order issued against him. He has said that he believes the purpose of his victimisation was to instil fear in others as a deterrent against exposing and opposing Israel’s crimes. He has also filed criminal complaints. The harassment he suffered is entirely in line with the actions of [government, police and the judiciary in the UK][11], [Germany][12], [Austria][13] and other European countries targeting pro-Palestinian activism and protest. Abunimah also notes that Swiss parliamentarians had already identified “a series of irregularities” in his targeting: > In November, a Swiss parliamentary committee concluded that there was a series of irregularities surrounding my arrest, and evidence of improper interference by Nicoletta della Valle, a senior federal police official with close ties to Israel. He thanked his lawyers, as well as the many supporters who had crowdfunded his legal action, and called for mass solidarity and action against state repression of anti-genocide speech and protest: > In these days of cowardice and complicity by governments in the face of shocking and monstrous crimes, it is more important than ever that citizens everywhere speak out. It is therefore vital that we fight back fiercely when our right to speak is attacked by government repression. *Featured image via the Canary* By [Skwawkbox][14] [1]: https://electronicintifada.net/blogs/ali-abunimah/swiss-court-rules-ali-abunimah-detention-was-illegal [2]:
