Durchsuchungen bei Sicherheitsunternehmen EheÂmaÂliger BND-PrĂ€ÂsiÂdent in Block-VerÂfahren verÂsÂtrickt?
(September 16, 2025)
AuĂerdem sollen Hanning und sein GeschĂ€ftspartner gemeinsam mit Block geplant haben, „den Kindesvater und dessen familienrechtlichen Beistand durch wahrheitswidrige VorwuÌrfe aus dem Bereich der PaÌdophilie zu diskreditieren.“ Hierzu soll nach Erkenntnissen der GenStA eine Festplatte mit weit uÌber 500 kinderpornografischen Bild- und Videodateien auf dessen WohngelaÌnde platziert worden sein. Ein israelisches Sicherheitsunternehmen habe diese Festplatte beschafft.
(…)
Das israelische Sicherheitsunternehmen steht wiederum im Verdacht, die Kinder in der Silvesternacht 2023/2024 aus DĂ€nemark entfĂŒhrt zu haben. Wegen dieser VorwĂŒrfe findet derzeit das Strafverfahren vor dem Landgericht Hamburg statt.
Was der Fall Block mit dem Spionage-Verdacht gegen Hanning zu tun hat
Hanning steht unter Verdacht, in den Komplex rund um die EntfĂŒhrung der beiden jĂŒngsten Block-Kinder beim Vater in DĂ€nemark verstrickt gewesen zu sein. Im Zuge dessen hatten Ermittlerinnen und Ermittler vor einem Jahr sein Haus und GeschĂ€ftsrĂ€ume durchsuchen lassen, um Beweismaterial zu finden.
(…)
AuĂerdem wird Hanning vorgeworfen, dass er zusammen mit einem ehemaligen Beamten des Landeskriminalamtes dem Ex-Mann von Christina Block, Stefan Hensel, gefaktes kinderpornografisches Material untergeschoben hat, um ihn zu diskreditieren. Hanning selbst bestreitet das alles. Beim Versuch, das aufzuklĂ€ren, gab es dann offenbar den Zufallsfund in seinem Haus, der die Geschichte noch sehr viel brisanter macht.

IN PICS: hundreds arrested at Palestine protest outside Labour conference
Hundreds of people have been arrested as the Defend our Juries group protested against the governmentâs âproscriptionâ (terrorism ban) on anti-genocide group Palestine Action. While al-Qaeda subsidiary HTS in Syria has been de-proscribed and whitewashed by the UK and US, Palestine Action remains banned. The Crown Prosecution Service and judiciary continue to collude to try to ensure the longest and harshest possible sentences.
More than 3,000 people, mostly pensioners and disabled people, have been arrested for âterrorâ offences for opposing the proscription. That total is climbing rapidly.
Neues Bundespolizeigesetz: Der Bundestag hat das Zeitalter der automatisierten Ăberwachung eingelĂ€utet
(July 10, 2026)
2016 hatte das Bundesverfassungsgericht wesentliche Teile des BKA-Gesetzes fĂŒr verfassungswidrig erklĂ€rt. Heimliche Ăberwachung darf nur in engen Grenzen stattfinden, so der Tenor. Da sich viele Regelungen aus dem BKA-Gesetz auch im Bundespolizeigesetz fanden, wurde auch dessen EntschĂ€rfung notwendig. Und aus dieser EntschĂ€rfung ist nun eine VerschĂ€rfung und damit der Beginn einer neuen Ăra der Kontrolle geworden.
Bundestag beschlieĂt neues Bundespolizeigesetz
(25.09.2026)
Die Bundespolizeireform ermöglicht es Beamten, kĂŒnftig eigene Drohnen zur Ăberwachung und AufklĂ€rung einzusetzen. Zugleich darf sie Flugkörper durch technische MaĂnahmen wie elektromagnetische Impulse, GPS-Störungen oder physische Eingriffe selbst abwehren. Die Bundespolizei soll so vor allem Bahnhöfe und Bahnanlagen bewachen, aber auch das Regierungsviertel in Berlin und das Verfassungsgericht in Karlsruhe
Susan Sarandon detained at Netanyahu protest outside the UN

The actress was among protesters calling for the United States to stop supplying arms to Israel.
The demonstration was organised by Jewish Voice for Peace as international leaders met for the UN General Assembly.
With âBlood-Soaked War Criminalâ Set to Land in Mamdaniâs NYC, Calls Grow to Arrest Netanyahu
In July, a YouGov poll found that 49% of Americans believed the US government should arrest Netanyahu under the warrant, 27% said it should not, and 23% were unsure.
President Donald Trump stated earlier this summer that Netanyahu âwill not be arrested, in any way, shape, or formâ while visiting the US. His administrationâs position, as stated in a February 2025 executive order, is that Netanyahu canât be arrested. The ICC, it says, âhas no jurisdiction over the United States or Israelâ because, unlike most other nations, neither is a party to the Rome Statute, which created the court.
THE FREEDOM FLOTILLA SAILS AGAIN
(September 2, 2026)
The violence and torture that Israel inflicted on hundreds of flotilla volunteers this past spring, including severe beatings, repeated tasering, and sexual assault, has not deterred the FFC, just as Israelâs murder of 10 flotilla activists aboard the Mavi Marmara, in 2010 did not stop the movement. If anything, action is needed now more than ever. While much of the world has moved on from Gaza, believing a supposed âceasefireâ has ended the genocide, Israel continues to kill Palestinians in Gaza at will; use its blockade to restrict and manipulate the entry of the food, medicine, and fuel that a besieged population depends on to survive; and deny Palestinians their fundamental right to freedom.
The new mission involves a port-to-port voyage throughout Europe, bringing together human rights advocates, union activists, elected representatives, journalists, medical professionals, and other supporters of Palestinian freedom.
You Could Be Next: Trumpâs Gestapo Tactics Are Getting Worse
You might even be murdered, without a trial finding you guilty of anything. In addition to Renee Good and Alex Pretti in Minnesota last January, ICE agents have murdered two others just this summer.
One was Lorenzo Salgado Araujo, murdered by ICE in Houston on July 7, 2026. Salgado Araujo had lived in the US for decades. ICE agents pursued him in unmarked cars and shot him while he was driving a work crew to a job site. The Department of Homeland Security claims Salgado Araujo tried to use his vehicle as a weapon against an officer, but witnesses dispute this account.
The other was Johan Sebastian DurĂĄn Guerrero, murdered by ICE on July 13, 2026, in Biddeford, Maine. DurĂĄn Guerrero was a 25-year-old immigrant from Colombia. Agents pursued him while he was driving to work. The Department of Homeland Security claims its agent feared for public safety as DurĂĄn Guerrero tried to drive away, but elected officials and family members dispute this account, noting that DurĂĄn Guerrero was not an intended target of the immigration operation.
None of these murders has been fully investigated.
Colonists attack Qusra municipal crew as Israeli forces detain three
NABLUS, August 15, 2026 (WAFA) â Israeli colonists on Saturday attacked a team from the Qusra municipality south of Nablus as it attempted to restore electricity to homes that have been under siege for about a week, while Israeli forces detained three members of the crew.
Local sources told WAFA that the municipal crew headed to the homes after receiving coordination to restore electricity, which colonists had cut off more than a week ago. The colonists attacked and surrounded the crew before Israeli forces intervened and detained three of its members.
Meantime, colonists continued to besiege the homes of three Palestinian families in Qusra amid a deployment of Israeli forces in the area, the sources said.
Mysterious Attacks on Ecuadorian Fishers Raise Fears of Expanded US Boat Bombings
According to the Times, it was registered to a private company whose address was a UPS store mailbox in Virginia, deepening the mystery over who was operating itâand for whom.
âIt would be one thing if the US didnât have an overt maritime strike campaign, but they do, and theyâre posting snuff films of boats going up in flames regularly,â Brian Finucane, a former State Department lawyer who specializes in the laws of war, told the Times.
âAnd thatâs what makes this even more squirrelly,â added Finucane, now a senior adviser in the US Program at the International Crisis Group. âWho are these people that are operating, and under what authority? And they are using a UPS store as their company address? Come on.â
CAIR Renews Call on Congress to Demand Israel Release Dr. Hussam Abu Safiya After Torture Reportedly Causes Broken Ribs
(August 5, 2026)
âDr. Abu Safiya has been in Israeli captivity since December 2024. In that time, he has been subjected to repeated acts of torture causing serious injuries. Dr. Abu Safiyaâs only crime was treating the thousands of Palestinians maimed by Israelâs genocidal assault on Gaza. We call on all members of Congress to demand his immediate release from captivity and hold the Israeli government accountable for its treatment of him.â
CAIR has previously called for Dr. Abu Safiyaâs release.

Fears mount for life of Hussam Abu Safia detained by Israel amid reports of torture and lack of medical care.
I Saw Dr. Hussam Abu Safiya Save Lives. Now Israel Is Holding Him Hostage.
I first met Abu Safiya at the beginning of February 2024 when I visited Kamal Adwan Hospital. I entered the pediatric intensive care unit, where several premature babies were receiving treatment. Their health conditions were critical, and they were suffering from malnutrition.
I saw Abu Safiya moving between the hospital departments. He appeared anxious and exhausted as he asked one of the nurses to search for formula specifically needed for premature infants…..

âDeep in my heart I do believe, Gaza will be free someday,â sang protesters, as another group sitting in a peaceful and silent demonstration outside Bristol Prison were arrested for holding signs in support of Palestine Action.
14 protesters were carted into police vans on Thursday morning for holding signs in support of the pro-Palestinian group, which remains a proscribed organisation in the UK, meaning showing support for it is illegal.

Israeli Settlers Attack Palestinian Villages, Torch Mosques Across West Bank
Israeli settlers carried out attacks on a number of Palestinian villages across the occupied West Bank early Sunday, setting fire to two mosques and other properties.

Villagers came out to confront them, and a standoff followed, with video appearing to show one of the Palestinians grabbing a settlerâs weapon. Palestinian authorities said the settlers provoked the violence, while the Israeli military said both sides fired shots. Four Palestinians and two Israelis were killed.

Rare Survivors of Pacific Boat Strikes Allege U.S. Forces Kidnapped and Tortured Them
(April 21, 2026)
Under right-wing president Daniel Noboa, Ecuador has become a critical U.S. proxy in the region; described as a âNorth American colonyâ by political analyst and former advisor to Ecuadorâs Secretary of International Relations Daniel Granja.
The military regime, which rules by martial law, has stonewalled all inquiries into the whereabouts of the fishermen. âThey slammed the door in our face,â Angelica Mero told Drop Site News.
The United Nations Committee on Forced Disappearances, which was already investigating Noboaâs armed forces prior to this incident, has issued a letter demanding answers on La Fiorella. Opposition lawmaker MĂłnica Palacios echoed those calls, announcing she will bring this case directly to the U.N.
Now, 36 survivors of two Pacific attacks fitting a similar profile alleged that they were abducted and tortured by American forces and taken by boat all the way to El Salvador before being returned to Ecuador. Drop Site spoke to multiple survivors and attorneys from both boats.

Israeli settlers attack journalists, including CNN, on the anniversary of deadly West Bank beating
This attack on journalists comes just days after US Rep. Ro Khanna was detained by settlers near the village of Turmus Ayya in the West Bank. The village has a population of thousands of Palestinian-Americans who have come under repeated attack by settlers in the area.
Khanna visited the village to show solidarity with American citizens who have told CNN they feel forgotten by their government.
âI saw the arrogance in the eyes of those settlers, 21- and 22-year-olds with guns, laughing that they had detained us, the arrogance of those young IDF soldiers that my tax dollars are funding, having no respect for the fact that they were detaining Americans, no respect that there was an American congressperson in that bus, and laughing when our translator told them that there are Americans there and the American embassy is concerned,â Khanna told Reuters.

What we know so far about the fatal ICE shooting of a Mexican father in Houston
Immigration and Customs Enforcement officials have said an agent opened fire after Lorenzo Salgado Araujo, a 52-year-old Mexican national, rammed a law enforcement vehicle and refused to follow verbal commands during a a traffic stop that was part of a âtargeted operationâ Tuesday.
But attorney Hugo Balderas-Ibarra said three men detained during the operation told him the version of events presented by ICE is false.
âAt no point did they use the van to ram into the ICE agents and at no point were these ICE agentsâ lives ever in any danger,â Balderas-Ibarra said in a video posted to his Instagram.
Israel must immediately release Dr. Hussam Abu Safiya: UN experts
On 27 December 2024, Kamal Adwan Hospital was the last functioning hospital in North Gaza. âThe hospitalâs director, Dr. Hussam Abu Safiya along with other medical staff and patients were illegally detained by Israel on the basis of the abusive Unlawful Combatantsâ Lawâ, the experts said.
