BREAKING: A coup attempt is underway in Venezuela as protests from right-wing groups break out seeking to paralyze the cities and overturn the Presidential elections results.
A few hours earlier the electoral court formally declared Nicolás Maduro as the winner, shortly after groups descended on the capital attempting to reach the presidential palace but we're forced back by security forces.
Some groups have reached the international airport of the capital but no signs of a breach thus far.
Opposition supporters are also circulating videos from protests in 2017 and 2019 in an attempt to exaggerate the size of the current mobilizations.
While the US State Department and right-wing governments in the region have questioned the results, international observer reports are yet to publish their findings, with no significant irregularities reported on the day of the vote.

Dozens of Israelis including two politicians have stormed the Sde Teiman torture center to protect soldiers. This comes after an earlier attempt by the military police to arrest nine Israeli soldiers in relation to the torture of Palestinian prisoners from Gaza.
The protesters managed to enter the military base and blocked the entrance in opposition to the arrest attempt. Several Israeli politicians condemned the attempt to prosecute the soldiers and demanded more support and protection for the soldiers.
The torture center has been mentioned in several media and UN reports for its brutal torture and inhumane conditions. Many Palestinians have been tortured to death in Sde Teiman as the soldiers use electric shocks, dogs, and rape against prisoners.

Student-led protests continue in Bangladesh despite an announcement by student leaders (who are being held in police custody) calling for an end to the uprising.
After 11 days of an internet black out and a brutal government crackdown, thousands of protesters remain detained. Bangladesh’s Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina ignored calls to release prisoners and refused to issue an apology for the deaths during the protests.
At least 210 people have been killed by police and more than 2,500 others arrested since the protests started on July 1. In response, the government imposed a nationwide curfew with a “shoot-on-sight” order to halt the student-led rallies.

Tens of thousands of Palestinians are forced to embark on yet another death march as Israel issued renewed displacement orders for southern and central Gaza. Not only has Israel launched several attacks on parts of Khan Younis designated as “safe,” but they have now also issued displacement orders for central Gaza, particularly in Bureij and Nuseirat.
For over a week, Palestinians unable to flee after the Israeli military ordered the evacuation of eastern Khan Younis remained trapped without food, water, or medicine.
Meanwhile, Bureij and Nuseirat are home to some of the most overcrowded refugee camps across the enclave as Palestinians displaced from Gaza’s north and south sought safety in the middle area. Just shortly after issuing the displacement orders, Israel bombed the area.
UNRWA said that 86% of the Gaza Strip is currently subject to Israeli displacement orders.

Today would have been Marielle Franco’s 45th birthday, a fearless, anti-racist Afro-Brazilian politician who was assassinated in 2018, only 18 months into her election for a seat in the Rio de Janeiro City Council.
As a Black woman and single mother, she dedicated her life to defending those who shared her fate in the favelas (Brazil’s slums). She also took aim against racist police violence, which was fueled by fascist President Jair Bolsonaro.
Her killers assassinated her on March 4, 2018 in her car. They were eventually exposed as part of the state apparatus: two former police officers with ties to Bolsonaro. Three people were finally arrested in March of this year, after six years of fighting for justice. Among those arrested was former head of Rio de Janeiro's civil police, Rivaldo Barbosa.

Today, 71 years ago, the first bullet of the Cuban Revolution was fired. It was on this day that Fidel Castro led the assault on the Moncada Barracks serving the US-backed Fulgencio Batista dictatorship. The attack, aimed at capturing weapons, backfired, and most of the revolutionaries were killed or arrested, including Castro.
The symbolic and daring action gave birth to the guerrilla organization that later carried the date of the attack on the barracks as its name: Movimiento 26 de Julio (Movement of July 26) better known as M-26-7. Watch this interview of Fidel Castro arguing that armed struggle was the only path to liberation for the vast majority of Latin American countries.

Yesterday, eight Palestinian prisoners, including two women and six men, were released from Israeli detention. red. media spoke to the prisoners, who have all spoken of harrowing scenes and torture during their time in custody. Visibly traumatized and with signs of physical abuse, the prisoners arrived at Al-Aqsa Hospital in central Gaza to receive treatment.
Earlier this month, Israel released dozens of Palestinian prisoners from Gaza, including the director of al-Shifa Hospital, Muhammad Abu Salmiya, who like many others, said Palestinians were facing daily abuse in prison.
Abuses faced by Palestinian prisoners include torture, starvation, and medical negligence. Lawyers in contact with their clients in prison report that such incidents are getting worse.
From the thousands of Palestinians detained in Gaza, at least dozens were killed in custody. However, the actual numbers, their identities, and the circumstances of their deaths remain undisclosed by Israel.

Chaos reignited at Bogotá’s National University as hooded protesters threw Molotov cocktails at Colombian riot police, who are notorious for their excessive force. Authorities used water cannons and tear gas to crush the protests, which have been escalating for months.
The ongoing uprisings at the National University escalated in May of this year when Ismael Peña was undemocratically appointed rector of the university. However, the discontent at the university covers a broader spectrum, such as soaring student costs and run-down educational infrastructure.

Chavistas are celebrating the election victory of Nicolás Maduro in Venezuela. However, the US-backed opposition refuses to recognize the results and is likely to call for violent protests in the coming days.
The National Electoral Council of Venezuela has declared Nicolás Maduro as the winner of yesterday’s presidential elections with 51% of the vote, significantly lower than the 67% that Maduro won in 2018 when much of the opposition boycotted the vote. The US Embassy and right-wing presidents in the region are calling into question the validity of the results.
Government supporters have taken to the streets to make clear that they will push back against any attempts by the opposition to overturn the results in the coming days.

On July 28, 1915, the US invaded Haiti, starting a brutal 19-year occupation of the country. Conducted for selfish economic reasons and racist motives, the US waged two brutal wars against the native population, murdering thousands. American corporations were unable to accept Haitian independence while racist elements in US society, including slave owners, had never forgiven Haitians for launching the first successful Black rebellion against slavery. Even when US troops left in 1934, Washington retained influence over Haiti’s finances until 1947. Read on.

WATCH OUR EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW: Palestinian Survivor Shares His Testimony About Israeli Torture Centers
red. media interviewed Fady Baker, a Palestinian man illegally detained and tortured by Israel for 45 days.
He described Sde Teiman detention center as a "torture center" where all basic human rights are denied and the Israeli army enjoys experimenting new methods of torture on Palestinian bodies. Beatings, sleep deprivation, psychological torture, and rape are some of the methods used by the Israeli army while they systematically abuse and collectively punish Palestinians.
As of today, Israel has not provided any information about the number of prisoners held, their identities, their health status, whether they are alive or dead, or their location. Survivors' voices and testimonies are the only source of information for documenting the violence perpetrated by the Israeli army or for obtaining information about loved ones who are still undergoing detention and tortures.

Nicolás Maduro held a giant campaign rally as Venezuelans prepare to vote this Sunday in presidential elections. In the shadow lingers US intervention and sanctions.
Maduro is the candidate of the “Great Patriotic Pole,” an alliance of leftist parties that includes the ruling United Socialist Party of Venezuela, the Communist Party, and others. However, there has been controversy over the fact that the smaller leftist groups in the coalition are mostly parallel groups created by Maduro supporters.
In the case of the Communist Party, its official leadership broke with Maduro years ago. However, a minority pro-government faction created a parallel communist party and was given legal recognition by the state as the official communist party in the country.
The country has enjoyed a small economic recovery in recent years and no longer has the highest inflation in the region - a title now held by Milei’s Argentina. However, the issue of low wages and unofficial dollarization persists.

The Trump shooting was shocking? The CIA tried 634 times to kill Fidel Castro, the leader of the Cuban revolution, to destroy the socialist project, according to Cuban security authorities. Every attempt failed. Today the island is celebrating the 71st anniversary of the start of the Cuban Revolution on July 26, 1953.
Exploding cigars, a contaminated diving suit, poisoned drinks, poisoned pens, paramilitary invasions, CIA-built special weapons, assassination plots with the Cuban Mafia, and other things beyond imagination, Washington's intelligence service tried under several US administrations to eliminate Castro. He lived to the age of 90, dying of natural causes in 2016.

The death toll from Bangladesh’s ongoing unprecedented wave of protests has risen above 200 amid an escalating police crackdown on anti-government protesters and opposition activists. Over the past eight days, police have arrested around 4,500 people, including 1,400 on Wednesday alone.
The total communications blackout and curfew, including a “shoot-on-sight” order, have been partially eased in some parts of the capital, Dhaka. However, the situation is far from normal. Mobile internet and social media remain blocked, and universities are still closed.
The student protests began in July against nepotism in government jobs, which are among the few stable jobs for many people. Although the government met the protesters’ initial demands, the brutal crackdown has led to renewed demands and many others joining the protests.
Student leaders have paused protest mobilization until Friday, but tensions remain high as the populace continues to grapple with the government’s harsh response.
