Get the spotlight on hunger strikes at Adelanto detention camp

Over the last 24 hours, we’ve learned via local activists and independent journalist Nick Valencia that approximately 20 detainees being held at the notorious Adelanto ICE Processing Center are on a hunger strike. In their press release, they reported already being in poor health and underfed due to staff neglect, and are demanding due process, bond reform, improved conditions, adequate medical and mental health care, decent food, accountability for deaths at the facility and the right to organize and communicate.

At least four people - Ismael Ayala-Uribe, Gabriel Garcia-Aviles, Alberto Gutierrez Reyes and Jose Guadalupe Ramos-Solano - have died while being held at this GEO Group-run detention camp in San Bernadino County, California since September, with multiple accusations of staff denying folks necessary medical care. Detainees have reported physical and sexual abuse, said they’ve been refused a change of clothes, underwear or towels, and advocates have reported inadequate access to clean food and water and other unsafe and unsanitary conditions. It’s been the subject of multiple federal investigations and civil rights lawsuits, and the California Attorney General’s office has found staffing has failed to keep up with the growing number of detainees.

Families of migrants held at Adelanto and advocates are holding a virtual press conference tomorrow, May 20th, at 10AM ET/7AM PT. We’re being asked to help get more coverage of this hunger strike and detainees’ demand for the center to be shut down. Let’s do our part!

Enough is enough, Students from Delhi we need you now!

Moderators please pin this.

📍 Protest Tomorrow — 21 May, 1:00 PM

Location: CBSE Head Office, Sector 23,Dwarka, Delhi

First they introduced this whole On Screen Marking (OSM) system and now they are busy marketing only the “good sides” of OSM to hide their own failure.

In the first re-evaluation notice, they even mentioned high fees while also warning that marks can be reduced. Dhaamki kisko deh rahe hai ye log?

And after the protests and backlash they received, they suddenly changed the re-evaluation prices. But dude, what even is this re-evaluation website? Since yesterday it has barely been working.

If a central education board cannot even handle login and registration traffic properly for re-evaluation, then how are students supposed to trust that they handled OSM properly?

Supreme Court PIL against CBSE

A Public Interest Litigation (PIL) is being prepared before the Supreme Court of India against Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) over the widespread failure of of the the CBSE re-evaluation portal and lack of transparency.

For days, students across the country have been unable to properly access the re-evaluation process due to:

  1. broken payment gateways

  2. failed submissions

  3. login/session errors

  4. inaccessible marksheets and documents 5. REPEATED crashes and technical failures

Despite thousands of complaints, the re-evaluation window continues closing while students are left stuck refreshing pages, retrying payments, and losing valuable preparation time for other major entrance exams and admission processes.

This issue affects lakhs of students whose:

• college admissions

• eligibility criteria

• improvement exam decisions

• academic futures

depend on timely access to re-evaluation.

The PIL will seek directions regarding:

  1. Immediate extension of the re-evaluation deadline

  2. Restoration of a properly functioning portal

3.Alternative mechanisms for submission/ payment

  1. Transparency and accountability regarding the technical failures

  2. Protection of students from academic loss caused by administrative negligence

We are currently collecting:

  1. screenshots/videos of errors

  2. timestamps

  3. failed payment records

  4. student testimonies and support on the matter 5. proof of inaccessible applications/documents

If you or someone you know has been affected, preserve all evidence and share your experience. A national-level academic process cannot be allowed to fail students like this without ACCOUNTABILITY.

NOTE: A Supreme Court advocate has already been notified to handle the matter, and all legal expenses will be borne by us.

At this point let's make it an international beizzati issue, tag all the relevant handles.

Let's just mass tag everyone from foreign leaders like Putin, to BRICS official handle, it's being held at Delhi atm, mass international beizzati would prompt action. We can't sit back and see these institutions screw us, the state media wouldn't listen.

Edit: This is for the ones who cant attend protests, we have to combine our efforts regardless of everyone's marks, paper leaks, website issues, random experiments in the middle of the sessions, no accountability, this is not the nation that's cares for its citizens! We can atleast combine our efforts in online reporting.

Trump wouldn’t actually pardon Ghislaine Maxwell ... right? The president is planning 250 pardons for America’s 250th anniversary, and I really hope she’s not one of them.
