BREAKING
Sheikh Qassem: Our supporters make up more than half of Lebanon's population, and all of these people are united under the banner of protecting Lebanon, its Resistance, its people, and its integrity.
Sheikh Qassem: There will be no phased handing in of our arms. [The Israelis] must first enact the agreement before we start talking about a defensive strategy.
Sheikh Qassem: Be brave in the face of foreign pressures, and we will be by your side in this stance.
Sheikh Qassem: Stripping us of our arms is like stripping us of our very soul, and this will prompt us to show them our might.
Sheikh Qassem: We will not abandon our arms, for they gave us dignity; we will not abandon our arms, for they protect us against our enemy.
Sheikh Qassem: The US efforts we are seeing are aimed at sabotaging Lebanon and constitute a call for sedition.
Sheikh Qassem: If you truly want to establish sovereignty and work for Lebanon’s interests, then stop the aggression.
Sheikh Qassem: The United States, which is meddling in Lebanon, is not trustworthy but rather poses a danger to it.
Sheikh Qassem: The United States is preventing the weapons that protect the homeland.
Sheikh Qassem: The government’s latest decision [on the disarmament of the Resistance] is non-charter-based, and if the government continues down this path, it is not faithful to Lebanon’s sovereignty.

The far-right under Bolsonaro is actively threatening the lives of Brazilian opposition leaders.

  • Marcelo Arruda, a prominent member of the Brazilian Workers' Party, was killed on his 50th birthday by a Bolsonaro supporter.
    Marcelo Arruda, a prominent member of the Brazilian Workers' Party, was killed on his 50th birthday by a Bolsonaro supporter.

While celebrating his 50th birthday, Marcelo Arruda was shot by a federal prison guard shouting slogans in favor of the current far-right president and candidate, Jair Bolsonaro. Arrudo is a leading member of the Brazilian Workers' Party. 

The murder, which was carried out by federal penitentiary agent Jorge Jose da Rocha Guaranho, happened in Foz do Iguacu, a southern city in the western region of Parana. Guaranho first went to the venue - after 20 minutes, he returned armed and began shooting the PT leader, whose party was decorated with themes pertaining to his party and Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, the leftist ex-president and the current presidential runner-up.  

The party issued a statement which it shared on social media, saying, "Enough of the violence! Enough of the destruction! It is time for the reconstruction and transformation of Brazil and the relations between Brazilians and Brazilians! Let's cry and bury another comrade who fell victim to political violence, that's enough!"

Hoje era para dar parabéns ao Marcelo, mas estamos aqui lamentando sua morte. Vou lhe dar o último adeus companheiro, com a certeza de q sua luta esta entre nós. Estará sempre presente na nossa caminhada e em nossos corações. Solidariedade aos familiares e amigos pic.twitter.com/XRdRU8SZ4h

Arruda was a guard for Foz do Iguacu's municipality, a local treasurer for the party, and has been a candidate for deputy mayor in the 2020 municipal elections. He was killed with two bullets shot at point-blank range. Before falling, he shot Guaranho with three bullets, who was rushed to the hospital. 

Watch: Bolsonaro Accused of "Crimes Against Humanity"

Last Thursday in Rio de Janeiro, a man was arrested for throwing a handmade grenade at a crowd waiting at a campaign rally for Lula, who was wearing a bulletproof vest. 

Lula da Silva issued a message saying: "Our companion Marcelo Arruda celebrated his 50th birthday with family and friends, in peace, in Foz do Iguaçu. Affiliated with the Workers' Party, his party had the PT and hope for the future as its theme; with the joy of a father who has just had another daughter."
