Our Foreign Secretary now condemns Israel in the Commons, yet Britain still supplies weapons and intelligence for its bombing campaigns — as the horror reaches perhaps the final stage, action must finally replace words, writes DIANE ABBOTT MP

JOURNALISTS in Tunisia will go on a nationwide general strike on April 2 to protest against governmental interference in public media and to defend the freedom of speech and freedom of the press in the country.
The National Syndicate for Tunisian Journalists (SNJT), Tunisia’s main journalists’ union, announced on Wednesday March 23, that it has approved a mass strike by journalists. Union official Amira Mohammed cited the “president’s attempts to control public media and the authorities’ insistence on hitting the sector” as the main reason for the strike.
The journalists’ union has criticised President Kais Saied and his regime for a number of recent measures which according to them drastically reduced the independence of state media.
