In a report submitted to the UN Human Rights Council, UN Special Rapporteur on Human Rights Michael Lynk says that the situation in the occupied Palestinian Territory has moved beyond occupation and annexation, and now amounts to the crime of apartheid.

TM Krishna recently performed an exclusive musical tribute to the memory of the innocents killed in the anti-Muslim Gujarat genocide of 2002.

Janata Weekly is India’s oldest independent socialist weekly.
Ever since its founding in 1946, Janata has voiced its principled dissent against all conduct and practice that is detrimental to the cherished values of nationalism, democracy, secularism and socialism, while upholding the integrity and the ethical norms of healthy journalism. For more than seventy years now, week after week, it has continued to analyse the changes taking place in the country and the world from a socialist standpoint, and thus promote the spread of socialist ideology in the country.
