Η «μόνη Δημοκρατία» της περιοχής, κατά τα φερέφωνα της πρεσβείας, που έσιει ένα διεφθαρμένο πρωθυπουργό, βουτηγμένο στο αίμα για την καρέκλα του. Αγοράζει προπαγάνδα, μέσω του γραφείου του, για να παρατείνει τον πόλεμο τζαι να αποφύγει την εσωτερική δίκη για διαπλοκή..

«Google is in the middle of a six-month $45 million contract with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s office to promote government messages and downplay the humanitarian crisis in Gaza, according to a report Wednesday by Drop Site News.
The contract, signed in late June, describes Google as a “key entity” in supporting Netanyahu’s public relations strategy, the outlet reported.
The campaign began days after Israel blocked food, medicine, fuel and other humanitarian supplies from entering Gaza on March 2. Lawmakers questioned officials about whether the government had prepared for the public relations fallout.
A spokesperson for the Israeli army said at the time that authorities could launch a digital campaign “to explain that there is no hunger and present the data.”
Since then, government ads denying famine in Gaza have run widely, including a YouTube video from Israel’s Foreign Ministry that declared “there is food in Gaza. Any other claim is a lie.” The clip has been viewed more than 6 million times, much of it boosted through paid promotion.
According to the report, the ads are managed through YouTube and Google’s Display & Video 360 platform and are characterized in government documents as “hasbara” -- a Hebrew term often translated as “propaganda.”
Records show that Israel also spent $3 million on ads with the US social media company X and $2.1 million with the French-Israeli platform Outbrain/Teads.
The Gaza Health Ministry said Tuesday that 185 people, including 12 children, died of starvation in August, the highest monthly figure recorded since Israel’s war on the enclave began nearly two years ago.
The ministry said 70 of the deaths occurred after the UN-backed hunger monitoring system Integrated Food Security Phase Classification (IPC) formally declared Gaza a famine zone last month.
Health officials reported that more than 43,000 children aged under 5 are suffering from malnutrition alongside 55,000 pregnant and breastfeeding women.»
Joint Statement – Press release (06.05.2025)
On January 6th, 24-year-old Shoaib Khan was murdered by the Cyprus police at the Bufferzone (“soft” internal border) in the village of Potamia. He was shot in his back and killed while sitting behind the co-driver, in the car that was to take him to Nicosia. His body was found 2 hours later by a citizen at an empty plot in Akropolis, Nicosia and falsely classified by a first autopsy as natural death. During the post-mortem examination four days later a bullet from a police gun was found in his body. According to the findings of the forensic expert he was shot in the heart and died on spot.
The entire handling of the case by the Cypriot authorities suggests an attempt at a cover-up: the initial assessment of natural death, the contradictory police statements that followed the discovery of the police bullet in his body, the withholding of information that ensued, the fact that the police officers involved were never suspended despite their conflicting and contradictory statements, and that to this day no independent investigation into the responsibilities of the police officers has been conducted.
Shoaib came to Cyprus from Pakistan hoping to earn a living that would support his large family of 11, including his five sisters. Coming from a poor background, he left home in search of economic stability and a better future. Due to the lack of legal status Shoaib worked in the informal sector. He worked in hotels in Ayia Napa for 2 years as well as on construction sites and in kitchens, doing whatever was necessary to send money back home. Without stable work, he searched every day, often finding only precarious, temporary day labor. Shoaib crossed between north and south in order to be able to work and to occasionally visit his loved ones. As he was denied legal status he was forced to cross informally, risking arrest and his life, just as he was on the day he was murdered.
We refuse to measure Shoaib’s worth by his legal status or his labor. His life mattered and his murder matters. We mourn for him, for the weight he carried, and for all those crushed by the violence of borders. We demand justice from the state that took his life and then tried to bury the truth.
Migration is natural. No one is illegal.
The murder of Shoaib Khan is not an isolated incident — it is the result of the normalization of violence against migrants and Cyprus’ deliberate and murderous migration policies. In recent years we have seen mass imprisonment of migrants in Pournara and prisons, push-backs at sea, racist pogroms in Chloraka and Limassol, entrapment of asylum seekers in the buffer zone. The state’s “left-to-die” policy at sea that we clearly saw in the Shipwreck of the 17th of May, has since 2018 claimed at least 45 lives, with 186 people missing. The recent killing of Shoaib Khan, along with last year’s death of Anisur Rahman, show that these murders extend into the state. The killings, along with restrictive visa policies, reveal that death and disappearance, whether through direct action or inaction, are not accidental but embedded within Cyprus’s border enforcement system.
Justice for Shoaib Khan, for Anisur Rahman, for the victims of the shipwreck of the 17th of May, Muhammad Al-Khasawneh and all others who have been killed or disappeared as a result of violent Cypriot and EU border policies.
Shoaib Khan’s brother has traveled to Cyprus to retrieve his body and seek justice. However, instead of support, he faces bureaucratic roadblocks and intransparency by the authorities.
We demand:
1. An official inquest into the death of Shoaib Khan.
2. An independent investigation into the liability of the police officers involved in the murder of Shoaib Khan
3. The coverage of the costs for the repatriation of Shoaib Khan’s body and for the travel and related costs incurred by his brother.
4. Full access for the family to the findings of the police investigation, including all expert reports.

– Justice for Shoaib Khan Initiative
