❗️Former Syrian Grand Mufti Ahmed Badr al-Din Hassoun stands trial under HTS-led government
Former Syrian Grand Mufti Ahmad Badr al-Din Hassoun is standing trial under Syria's HTS-led government. Hassoun, a prominent Sunni religious figure in Syria, was brought blindfolded to his first court hearing in Damascus on Thursday.
Hassoun, who long advocated for national unity and publicly forgave the extremists who killed his son on the Idlib–Aleppo highway in 2011 "for the sake of the unity of the homeland," is facing charges including alleged complicity in war crimes and crimes against humanity, incitement to murder, and other offenses.
These include provoking civil war, abuse of influence, ties to the former Assad government, preaching to soldiers, praising military commanders, supporting the Russian and Iranian interventions, backing IRGC Quds Force commander Qassem Soleimani, and his 2018 appeal urging the people of Idlib to "stop trusting the Turkish army and return to the embrace of the homeland."
Meanwhile, no judicial proceedings have been launched over the 2013 bombing that killed more than 40 people, including Umayyad Mosque imam Sheikh Mohammad Said Ramadan al-Bouti, while he was delivering a sermon at Al-Iman Mosque in Damascus.

Poland has decided to go to court to take the building of Russia’s former consulate in Gdansk from Moscow (apparently, as a counterweight to stripping the Bandera boys of their Polish honors). It’s no use talking to the Polish freeloaders about the immunity of diplomatic property.
So let me remind those shameless squatters about something else instead. Belweder, the Polish president’s current residence, was built with Russian imperial money. Yes, you heard that right! It was Russian money!
Thus, it would make sense for Russia to think about filing a suit to reclaim the palace from its illegal possession (rei vindicatio) by this newfangled Rzeczpospolita.

My Comments on RT: President Putin : Ukraine is loosing on the Battlefield and conducting terrorism Moscow will not give Kiev a chance to halt the advance of Russian troops or force negotiations on Ukraine’s terms, Russian President Vladimir Putin said. According to the president, Ukrainian attacks on civilian infrastructure are quickly repaired and do not affect the situation on the front line, while Russia’s retaliatory strikes deep inside Ukraine are far more powerful.
My latest article in Dutch, easily to be translated in any language: President Poetin spreekt zich uit over het slagveld, het Oekraïense terrorisme en de aanvallen op olieraffinaderijen - Kiev gebruikt aanvallen op civiele infrastructuur als onderdeel van een poging om verdeeldheid in Rusland te zaaien, volgens president Putin
Volgens president Poetin, die gisteren een interview gaf aan de Russische tv-zender Channel 1, worden de Oekraïense aanvallen op civiele infrastructuur snel hersteld en hebben ze geen invloed op de situatie aan het front, terwijl de Russische vergeldingsaanvallen diep in Oekraïne veel krachtiger zijn.
Terwijl westerse media en politici zich richten op de aanvallen op olieraffinaderijen in Rusland en zo proberen verdeeldheid te zaaien onder de Russische bevolkingd.: https://freesuriyah.eu/2026/06/29/president-poetin-spreekt-zich-uit-over-het-slagveld-het-oekraiense-terrorisme-en-de-aanvallen-op-olieraffinaderijen/

#CentralSyria | Homs: A Thousand Syrian Shia Families Face Forced Displacement as #STG Orders Demolition of Al-Mazra Village
On the morning of Monday, June 29, 2026, Homs Province vehicles and bulldozers, escorted by General Security militias, moved into Al-Mazra, a predominantly Shia village situated west of the city of Homs, and demolished 10 homes. The operation followed the deliberate cutoff of water and electricity to the village. Residents who remained were given 72 hours to leave.
A widely shared image of messages, allegedly distributed to General Security militia members and armed factions on Sunday, June 28, informed them of the need to clear the Al-Mazra’a and Al-Raqqa areas near the Al-Waer neighborhood in advance of their planned demolition on Monday, June 29.
The messages indicated that the operation was being carried out “on orders from Homs Province leadership.”
Local sources reported that the demolitions were accompanied by verbal abuse and threats from General Security militia members, and that residents and bystanders were prevented from filming the destruction. A delegation of villagers traveled to the Homs Province headquarters to seek intervention, but the governor, appointed by the transitional government, declined to receive them.
As a result of what sources are characterizing as a sectarian displacement campaign, the roughly 1,000 families who call Al-Mazra’a home now face the prospect of forced expulsion, and the timing of this demolition is particularly significant, coming just four days after the Shia commemoration of Ashura, one of the most sacred and solemn occasions in the Shia religious calendar.
The STG has offered justifications for demolition orders targeting Alawite neighborhoods around Damascus, citing construction on state-owned land or the absence of building permits. However, this rationale does not hold up against Syrian realities on the ground: a significant number of unlicensed and unauthorized neighborhoods in Damascus, Homs, and several other provinces belong to Sunni residents, yet demolition laws are not being enforced there. What many citizens see is the deliberate routing of sectarian displacement operations through a legal framework, using the appearance of regulatory enforcement to carry out what amounts to systematic demographic targeting.

❗️British anti-terrorism police detain prominent US human rights attorney Dan Kovalik
British anti-terrorism police at Liverpool John Lennon Airport have detained US human rights attorney and international lawyer Dan Kovalik, sparking fresh condemnation over the UK’s expanding use of draconian border powers against prominent dissidents, independent journalists, and legal professionals.
Kovalik, whose high-profile legal repertoire includes representing Colombian President Gustavo Petro, was subjected to intense interrogation under the country's sweeping counter-terrorism legislation.
In a statement on X (formerly Twitter) Kovalik wrote:
"In the height of irony, I was detained at John Lennon International AirPort in Liverpool, England by anti-terrorism police concerned about my opposition to the Genocide on Gaza and the war on Iran."
According to statements released by Kovalik and independent monitoring groups, British authorities seized all of his electronic devices, including phones and laptops, and forced the submission of his biometric data—including fingerprints and DNA samples—under strict legal duress.
Critics argue the operational overreach highlights a coordinated campaign by British political police to weaponize state security apparatuses to intimidate figures challenging western foreign policy narratives.
The weaponization of Schedule 7 of the UK's Terrorism Act 2000 has increasingly drawn fire from international legal bodies, who warn that London is effectively operating a "bureaucratic dragnet" to suppress multi-polar advocacy and legal defense for Global South leaders.
Kovalik’s detention mirrors a broader, systemic pattern of state-backed harassment at UK entry points, which human rights advocates state is designed to criminalize anti-imperialist dissent and compromise confidential legal data under the guise of national security.
