Police in Istanbul violently detained dozens of May Day protesters as they attempted to reach Taksim Square. Authorities enforced a long-standing protest ban in the area, imposed after the 2013 Gezi Park uprising against the Erdoğan government.
Taksim Square has remained under heavy police control since the 2013 protests, which were the largest anti-government demonstrations in Turkey’s recent history.
This year’s May Day protests follow a worsening economic crisis and the arrest of a senior opposition leader. Protesters described the arrest as a “political coup” and accused the government of targeting dissent.
Further protests are expected across Istanbul. Police have been deployed in key areas to block marchers and prevent mass gatherings.

The salutes were met with “Bella Ciao” played from the balconies of neighboring buildings. The fascists also marched through the streets of the city with a banner in honor of “the fallen fascist comrades.”

🟡 BREAKING: Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu has confirmed that the Israeli Army carried out a “warning strike” against “extremists preparing to attack Druze in Syria.”
In recent days, cities on the outskirts of Damascus have been affected by clashes between HTS-affiliated armed groups and the Druze community. An audio containing insults to the Prophet Muhammad has been linked to a Druze community leader and used to incite violence. At least 19 people have been killed in the ongoing clashes.
Since the fall of Assad, tensions have been high between the Syrian Druze communities and the HTS-led administration. Israel, citing the protection of minorities as a pretext, has repeatedly declared its willingness to intervene in support of Syria’s Druze communities. Its aim is to exploit sectarian tensions to fragment Syrian territory and advance its occupation.

Police charged crowds across Paris this May Day, using tear gas, mass arrests, and batons to break up the march. Protesters also confronted the Socialist Party, tearing down its stand and denouncing its role in labor repression.
Joining the traditional workers’ mobilization was a growing protest against state Islamophobia. Just days earlier, Aboubakar Cissé, a 22-year-old Malian man, was stabbed to death while praying in a mosque. His killer filmed the attack, shouting anti-Muslim slurs—yet the state prosecutor refused to clearly label the murder as Islamophobic, suggesting other possible motives despite the evidence.

Clashes broke out in Lyon as police charged protesters during the May Day march. Thousands filled the streets—workers, students, and antifascist groups—amid a heavy police presence.
Just a day earlier, Interior Minister Bruno Retailleau announced the dissolution of Urgence Palestine and the antifascist Jeune Garde. Justifying the move, he claimed “it was necessary to strike the Islamists”—a reference to the pro-Palestinian collective, which has been one of the main organizers of demonstrations in France against the ongoing genocide in Gaza. The move signals a clear attempt to criminalize anti-colonial and antifascist organizing ahead of mass mobilizations.

Did you know about this relatively unknown chapter of May Day? Berlin police opened fire on communist May Day protesters on this day in 1929, starting a series of anti-communist massacres known as “Blood May.” The ruling Social Democratic Party resorted to extreme tactics against the Communist Party of Germany, gaining momentum and mobilizing to the banned May Day protest. The brutal crackdown resulted in at least 33 deaths and 150 injuries – shattering the democratic facade of the Weimar Republic. Read on.

The UN is investigating a weapons shipment from the UAE to Sudan's Rapid Support Forces (RSF). A panel of experts is examining how mortar rounds exported from Bulgaria to the UAE ended up in a supply convoy for RSF militia fighters.
In March, Sudan brought the UAE before the International Court of Justice (ICJ), accusing it of supporting the RSF militarily, financially, and politically. Sudan has accused the UAE of being “complicit in the genocide of the Masalit” in West Darfur. Khartoum claims the RSF and its affiliates are responsible for human rights violations, including mass killings, rape, and forced displacement.
Recently, the UN reported that more than 480 people had been killed in just two weeks in North Darfur, with widespread reports of sexual violence. Since April 2023, the conflict between the Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF) and the RSF has claimed tens of thousands of lives, displaced over 13 million people, and created what has been described as “the largest humanitarian crisis ever recorded.”
🟡 HAPPENING NOW: Red flags are rising in Berlin—and the state is already panicking. On the eve of International Workers' Day, hundreds filled the streets to denounce NATO militarism, the cost-of-living crisis, and the capitalist system driving both. Palestinian flags flew alongside red ones, confronting the political order.
Protesters chanted for the expropriation of capitalists—landlords included—“We will expropriate you all.” Police, mainstream media, and politicians are already framing the protests as violent threats—laying the groundwork to justify repression.

Armed French police stormed Shahin Hazamy’s home with guns drawn. His crime? Reporting on Gaza.
After violently breaking down the door, police entered Hazamy’s apartment, assaulted him in front of his children, shoved his five-months-pregnant wife against the wall, and knelt on his neck for minutes. His press badge was ignored. They took everything—phones, cameras, even his kids’ tablet.
Hazamy spent over 48 hours in detention on trumped-up “terrorism” charges. His children are traumatised.
This isn’t an isolated case. Across Europe, journalists exposing Israel’s war on Gaza are being silenced.
red. media spoke to Hazamy days after his release. He’s shaken—but not silent.

Vietnam was reunified on this day 50 years ago, after decades of anti-colonial resistance. That victory wasn’t inevitable — it was fought for. At the center was Hồ Chí Minh, the revolutionary who turned a colonized nation into a symbol of anti-imperialist struggle.
At the age of 21, Ho Chi Minh left his country to find an answer to the question of Vietnamese liberation in the international revolutionary movement. He lived in New York, London, and Paris, and became involved in the socialist movement. In France, he even became a founding member of the French Communist Party.
Later, he studied and worked in different governmental institutions in the Soviet Union and China, serving as a senior Comintern agent around Southeast Asia. In the late 1930s, he went to China to serve as an advisor to the Communist armed forces.
Upon returning to Vietnam, Ho Chi Minh played a significant role in uniting the left factions and forming the party that led the liberation movement against French and American imperialism.
Vietnamese and Palestinian fighters stood side by side in the anti-colonial struggle. This cold-war era poster shows a Vietnamese soldier handing a victory flag to a Palestinian fighter.
Today marks the 50th anniversary of Vietnam‘s reunification in 1975.
Communist-led North Vietnam built ties with the Palestinian Liberation Organization in 1968, years before most countries did. In 1988, Vietnam formally recognized the State of Palestine.
Palestinian groups like Fatah and the PFLP studied the Vietnamese Revolution. They saw it as a blueprint for guerrilla warfare against militarily superior Israeli forces, just as Vietnam fought the US.
In the 1970s, PLO fighters trained in Vietnam. They translated works by the Vietnamese General Vo Nguyen Giap into Arabic to sharpen their strategy.
