He - and several other Al Jazeera journalists - have just been assassinated by Israelis forces whilst in their press tent in central Gaza.

Do you work on gender and peacebuilding broadly defined (including everything from ceasefires to transitional justice)? I’m looking for pitches to contribute to a special issue, especially interested in quantitative research by scholars outside of Europe/US/Canada. Email/DM me!

Lots of discourse around ICE abductions à la "ppl did nothing wrong & that's why it's unjust" & I can't underscore enough that *no one* deserves to be ripped off the street & disappeared into the prison network at the whim of the state.
This is why we say "free them all." The system is the problem.
