Amazing. A look at the current state of rebellion under the Islamic regime of Iran, following the cruel murder of a young woman by morality police because her headscarf wasn‘t worn perfectly.

Today is the anniversary of the first abolition of slavery in France, unanimously declared on the 4th of February 1794 (16 pluviôse an II) by the Convention during the French Revolution, before being rescinded a few years later by Napoléon. I would have liked more details to be included in the tagged book, but Eric Hazan makes it clear that the abolition was imposed by Haitian slaves rather than gifted magnanimously from mainland France, so👍
