  2. آزادی بیان، آزادی عقیده و آزادی پوشش و... از مسلم ترین حقوق انسان هاست که در اعلامیه ی جهانی حقوق بشر هم مورد تاکید قرار گرفته است.
    بیش از سه ماه است که در یکی از بدترین بندهای عمومی زندان اوین به خاطر« اعتراض به حجاب اجباری» به سر می برم.
    با اینکه پیش تر می شد آمار زندانیان سیاسی را حدس زد، اما دیدن این همه زندانی سیاسی با اتهامات مضحک و واهی برایم غیرمنتظره بود.به جرات می توانم بگویم افکار عمومی حتی با ده درصد آن ها و بازداشت شان و یا نوع اتهامات آن ها آشنا نیستند. اتهاماتی از قبیل نوشتن یک نقطه در تذکری ویراستاری، نوشتن جمله ای معترضه، گذاشتن پست یا استوری در فضای مجازی و...
    راه اندازی یا عضویت در یک گروه خبری تحلیلی را معادل تاسیس و عضویت در یک سازمان مهم سیاسی و حتی چریکی تلقی کرده و به همان میزان حکم زندان صادر می کنند.
    با بازداشت این افراد نه تنها حق آزادی بیان آن ها توسط نهادهای رنگارنگ امنیتی و قضایی که کار اصلی آن ها جز سرکوب شهروندان نیست، نقض می شود، بلکه در طول دوران بازداشت شان از حقوق بدیهی و تصریح شده در قوانین سخت گیرانه و یک جانبه ی حکومت نیز محروم اند.
    پس از بازداشت زندانیان سیاسی، مدیران زندان و سازمان زندانها نیز به خیل عظیم دستگاه های سرکوب می پیوندند.
    از زمان بازداشت ام به شکل های مختلف تلاش کردم نسبت به بازداشت و نقض حقوق زندانیان اعتراض کنم، اما پاسخی دریافت نکردم. در آستانه ی سال نو راه موثرتری جز دست شستن از غذا و اعتصاب برای برجسته کردن وضعیت زندانیان سیاسی نیافتم. امید که بتوانیم سختی یی را که زندانیان سیاسی و خانواده هایشان تحمل می کنند در میان بحران های کمرشکن اقتصادی، اجتماعی،اقلیمی و زیست محیطی گوناگونی که حاصل بی کفایتی و بی برنامگی حکومت است، برجسته کرد.
    مایل ام در اینجا یادی کنم از هنرمند گرانقدرمان، مهدی یراحی، یکی از همین زندانیان سیاسی سابق که در هفته های گذشته خبرهولناک شکنجه ی او با شلاق، همه ی ما را در بهت و شوک فرو برد. او نیز از مصادیق خشونت بار نقض آزادی بیان ومجازات بابت «اعتراض به حجاب اجباری» بود. در ترانه ای با عنوان «روسریتو در بیار.»
    «من خواستار آزادی زندانیان سیاسی هستم.» همچنان که «من به حجاب اجباری اعتراض دارم.»

  3. By David Tuller, DrPH

    Tuesday, September 17th, was World Patient Safety Day. (I didn’t know that either.) In the UK, more than 200 physicians, nurses and other health care providers and professionals marked the occasion by issuing an appeal—in the form of a letter to Wes Streeting, Secretary of State for Health and Social Care since–about the dire state of care for ME patients within the National Health Service. The letter highlighted in particular the plight of patients with severe ME.

    The inquest this summer into the death of Maeve Boothby O’Neill, who died in Exeter three years ago at the age of 27, drew widespread attention to the abysmal situation for such patients at NHS hospitals. The presiding coroner, Deborah Archer, ruled that no individuals were responsible for causing or contributing to Maeve’s death, although she acknowledged that some of the decisions made were concerning. On Friday, September 27th, she will hold a hearing to consider whether to issue a report with recommendations to prevent future deaths.

    As a Times article about this week’s letter to Secretary Streeting noted:

    “A lack of NHS specialist services was highlighted at the inquest of Maeve Boothby O’Neill, who died in 2021 aged 27. An inquest last month concluded that she died from malnutrition caused by severe ME, with the government acknowledging that Boothby O’Neill ‘fell through the cracks’ and was “repeatedly misunderstood and dismissed” by the NHS.”

    Dr Binita Kane, a respiratory physician in Manchester, co-organized the letter with #ThereForME, a campaign launched by carers for patients with severe ME associated with Long Covid. Dr Kane posted a thread about the letter on X (the former Twitter). The first listed demand is “acknowledgement from the very top of government…that gaps in NHS services for ME are resulting in serious patient safety concerns” and a commitment “to taking action.”

    I have posted the full letter below, along with all the signatories. (I haven’t counted them, but the article in The Times says there are 202.)

    **********

    Dear Secretary of State,

    We write to you on World Patient Safety Day to express our concerns about the safety of patients with Myalgic Encephalomyelitis (ME) within the NHS.

    In August over 2,600 patients and carers affected by ME and Long Covid wrote to you, sharing recommendations from the #ThereForME campaign. The Department of Health and Social Care has thus far declined to meet with the campaign. On World Patient Safety Day, we – as healthcare workers – call on you to listen to their voices and take immediate action.

    The theme for this year’s World Patient Safety Day is ‘Improving diagnosis for patient safety’, using the slogan ‘Get it right, make it safe’. Devastatingly, for patients with ME this simply is not true. There is little access to truly specialist ME care or treatment within the NHS and paradoxically, the sicker a patient is, the less care they receive. 

    The number of people affected by ME has grown vastly since the start of the pandemic. Although the data is difficult to disentangle, by some estimates as many as half of patients with Long Covid could meet the diagnostic criteria for ME and face the same gaps in NHS care. Even if doctors and healthcare professionals are knowledgeable and willing to treat patients, the infrastructure to provide safe and appropriate care does not exist.

    Like all patients, people with ME deserve safe care within the NHS. 

    Patients at the severe end of the disease spectrum are bedridden, sometimes tube-fed and confined to quiet, darkened rooms due to extreme light and sound sensitivity. Hospital appointments or admissions often become impossible or make the condition worse. In the most extreme cases, patients languish behind closed doors with little or no support. Some – including high-profile cases in the media – have even starved to death. 

    This is a state of affairs barely conceivable in the UK in 2024.

    The new cross-government delivery plan is a welcome opportunity to put patient safety at the heart of NHS care – but it will be months before the plan is published and perhaps years before it is implemented. Urgent action is needed today. 

    On World Patient Safety Day we call on you to:

    • Acknowledge, from the very top of government, that gaps in NHS services for ME are resulting in serious patient safety concerns, and commit to taking action.
    • Work with us to immediately convene an ME Clinical Taskforce to provide emergency specialist guidance in cases where patients are hospitalised, and drive forwards improvements in NHS treatment and care (including managing risks of malnutrition).
    • Commit that this government will hold NHS Trusts and Integrated Care Boards accountable for implementing guidance from NICE on diagnosing and managing ME (NG206), recognising that a failure to do so risks unsafe care.

    Doing nothing is not safe. We urge you to take action now.

  4. It’s 2024 and I’m happy boxed software isn’t totally dead. Thank you !

  5. #bookstodon, my TBR list is getting dangerously short. Please recommend new(ish) books in #fantasy, #historical and/or #QueerRomance.

    My favourite authors include but are not limited to:
    Natasha Pulley, Gabby Hutchinson Crouch, KJ Charles, AJ Demas, T Kingfisher, Juniper Butterworth, Alexis Hall, CM Waggoner, Emily Tesh, Lissa Evans, Freya Marske, Caitlyn Rozakis, Zen Cho, Naomi Novak, Antonia Hodgson, Edgar Cantero

    I don’t like anything too cosy (I need plot) or too dark. Very rarely like anything labelled a “BookTok sensation” or YA, or that has a contemporary setting. Prefer older protagonists, or at least ones who are out of their teens. Prefer standalones. Don’t mind a bit of murder mystery mixed into those other genres.

    In particular wanting to try new/debut authors. Indie recommendations very welcome, but nothing that’s only on Amazon. Kobo Plus reccs welcome.

    If it’s very popular, assume I’ve read it or don’t want to :)

    Thanks!
