Modern slavery persists through forced labor, human trafficking, sexual exploitation, forced marriage, and other forms of abuse. This is an unacceptable failure of the international community. Slavery is not merely a horror of the past—it remains a human rights crisis today.

Today’s podcast guest is Serap Fišo, an independent researcher, freelance project expert, social activist, and storyteller. She received her Ph.D. in Political Science and Sociology from the International University of Sarajevo, Bosnia and Herzegovina, in 2023, where she examined forced migration, internally displaced persons (IDPs), and identity construction in post-war Bosnia and Herzegovina.
In this episode, we discuss how the Bosnian war and the subsequent Dayton Peace Agreement affected women’s development in Bosnia and Herzegovina, especially academic challenges faced by women, how socioeconomic issues fueled displacement and migration, and memory and history and their impact on refugees, especially women. In addition, we discuss I Want to Live, a participatory theatre initiative involving migrants from a number of countries living in Sarajevo, exploring womanhood, migration, displacement, family, and belonging.

Israeli filmmakers Yuval Abraham and Rachel Szor have not returned home, fearing for their safety after death threats and an escalating official campaign against them. Culture Minister Miki Zohar has called for revoking their citizenship, while military lawyers have considered legal action. The threat is chilling. A democracy that punishes artists for exposing alleged atrocities is not defending itself—it is silencing conscience.
#Israel #NAZA #Gaza
Israel does not merely tolerate settler violence; it enables and deploys it. These crimes form part of a broader policy of dispossession: driving Palestinians from their land and hastening annexation. Yet, instead of demanding that Israel stop committing these crimes, Trump continues to arm Israel. This is complicity in crimes against humanity.
Modern slavery persists through forced labor, human trafficking, sexual exploitation, forced marriage, and other forms of abuse. This is an unacceptable failure of the international community. Slavery is not merely a horror of the past—it remains a human rights crisis today.

TRUMP'S OUTRAGEOUS MORAL ABDICATION OF UKRAINE
Trump’s decision to buy Russian diesel by easing sanctions is more than just another outrage. It is a moral abdication: rewarding Putin while Ukraine fights for its survival. Sold as relief for Americans struggling with fuel prices, this deal risks replenishing Russia’s war chest while offering little prospect of meaningful savings at the pump. Ukrainian lives must not become bargaining chips to cover for Trump’s domestic political failures. The European Union must answer with unshakable unity: strengthen sanctions, accelerate military and financial assistance, and stand unequivocally with President Zelensky and Ukraine. This is no ordinary policy dispute. It threatens the principle that aggression must carry consequences—not commercial rewards. Abandoning Ukraine would tell every would-be conqueror that democracies can be divided, exhausted, and bought. Europe must not let that become the lesson of this war.

SENEGAL'S CRACKDOWN ON LGBT RIGHTS
IS A GROSS HUMAN RIGHTS VIOLATION
Human Rights Watch warns of an escalating crackdown on LGBT people in Senegal, marked by mass arrests, forced HIV testing, discrimination, and growing fear. In March 2026, Senegal doubled the maximum prison sentence for consensual same-sex conduct to 10 years and criminalized support for LGBT individuals and organizations. Human rights groups report hundreds of arrests, while detainees face barriers to legal representation, violations of medical confidentiality, and threats of violence. Health professionals warn that fear of persecution is discouraging people from seeking HIV treatment, putting public health at risk. As Senegal prepares to host the 2026 Youth Olympic Games, the crackdown raises urgent questions about its commitment to equality, dignity, and international human rights obligations.

No, a crackdown against sodomites and other wicked people of that type is good, and beautiful.
WHAT A MORAL ABYSS HAVE WE ENTERED?
The proposed livestream of Nidal Hasan’s December 3 execution is not justice strengthened. It is BARBARISM staged for an audience. Defense Secretary Hegseth wants Americans to watch their soldiers shoot a condemned man. Trump approved the execution. Hasan’s crimes were monstrous. Nothing excuses them. But their horror cannot excuse turning punishment into a spectacle of blood. WHAT MORAL ABYSS HAVE WE ENTERED when an administration mistakes the public execution of a human being for a demonstration of national strength? America cannot reclaim its conscience by abandoning it before the cameras. This would not honor the murdered. It would dishonor the living—we the American people. If Trump permits this horror spectacle, history should remember not merely the man executed, but the president who invited the world to watch America shoot its own moral authority.
