Decades of feminism paved the road to Andrew’s arrest | Rebecca Solnit

The outcry and activism of the 2010s – itself enabled by earlier generations of feminists – brought us to this moment. But if the Trump administration has its way, opposing forces will prevail

This week, for the first time since 1647, a member of the royal family was arrested in the United Kingdom, not over allegations of sexual wrongdoing but for trade-related communications with the supplier of those victims, Jeffrey Epstein, to whom he is supposed to have leaked state secrets. The public outrage in the US about Epstein forced the government to release the files, including emails between Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor and Epstein now under investigation in the criminal case.

The arrestee formerly known as Prince Andrew was accused by Virginia Guiffre with having had sex with her when she was a minor being trafficked by Epstein. He has always denied wrongdoing. Until his arrest on suspicion of misconduct in public office, only his family had held him accountable for his ongoing association with Epstein after Epstein’s 2008 conviction for soliciting a minor for prostitution. “Today our broken hearts have lifted,” Virginia Giuffre’s family stated, “at the news that no one is above the law, not even royalty.”

Washington and Tehran to hold more nuclear talks as protests reignite in Iran

Fresh Geneva negotiations suggest Trump’s team believes the Iranian government is making serious proposals

Iran and the US are expected to meet for a further round of talks in Geneva this week in a sign that Donald Trump’s team believes Tehran is making serious proposals to dilute its stockpile of highly enriched uranium and show it is not seeking a nuclear weapon.

As fears loomed of renewed conflict after Washington carried out a major redeployment of military assets to the region, the Iranian foreign minister, Abbas Araghchi, said he thought there was still a good chance of finding a diplomatic solution.

Ruim 200 gevangenen in Venezuela in hongerstaking om amnestiewet

CARACAS (ANP/AFP) - Meer dan tweehonderd politieke gevangenen in Venezuela zijn in hongerstaking gegaan om hun vrijlating te eisen. Dat zeggen familieleden van de gevangenen, enkele dagen nadat een nieuwe amnestiewet is ingegaan.

De staking begon vrijdagavond in een gevangenis in een buitenwijk van hoofdstad Caracas. De gevangenen zijn boos omdat onder de nieuwe wet velen van hen niet in aanmerking komen voor amnestie.

De amnestiewet werd door interim-leider Delcy Rodríguez ingevoerd onder Amerikaanse druk. Rodríguez heeft formeel de leiding over het land nadat de Amerikanen president Nicolás Maduro begin januari gevangennamen bij een militaire operatie.

Meer dan 1500 politieke gevangenen hebben al amnestie aangevraagd onder de nieuwe wet. Oppositieleden hebben kritiek op de wet, omdat veel politieke tegenstanders van het regime er geen gratie door kunnen krijgen.
