'The miracle baby' This Syrian newborn who was found alive still tied by her umbilical cord to her dead mother under rubble, is now lying in the incubator at #Afrin hospital. She's the sole survivor of her family, the rest were killed by the earthquake that struck #Syria. #AFP

Seeing this man get pulled alive from the rubble of an apartment building in devastated Antakya today was the bright spot of an otherwise awful Tuesday.

#فرهاد_میثمی را دیدیم. با جمعی محدود و عموماً دانشجو و در حول و حوش جنبش زن، زندگی، آزادی گپ زدیم. گفت تلاش می‌کند به تدریج سلامت و توان کامل جسمی‌اش را بازیابی کند. معذرت از همه دوستانی که مشتاق دیدارش بودند و فرصت نشد. گمانم خیلی زود امکان دیدارهای بیشتر برایش میسر شود.

#Bahai forcibly buried in Khavaran cemetery without family’s knowledge. What threat do the dead pose that #Iran’s ruthless treatment even extends to people after death, following life-long persecution imposed on them by the government? #Rights t.ly/dgf2

So much of this report on what life is like in Lefortovo prison reminded me of what I experienced in Evin. #FreeEvan from this hell hole. washingtonpost.com/world/interact…

Took a night to enjoy this unbelievable match which was entirely worth it just to watch Mary Queen of Stops alone. Disappointing none of the royals came to support their Lionesses would have been unheard of for the The Three Lions.

Tomorrow's front page of The National. We publish a timeline of a year of Israel's bombardment of Gaza. It's all here in black and white - the war crimes, murdered journalists, flattened hospitals, orphaned children. 7567 words, 42,000 deaths. Don't look away.

“when I left” is about severed roots and the impossibility of nurturing something from afar. I was reflecting on the lifelong guilt that came with gaining privileges that feel undeserved or costly but we all know the feeling of carrying things we can never quite put down. #Poetry
