Amnesty condemns denial of entry to US for Somali World Cup referee

Image
  Amnesty International has condemned the denial of entry to Somali referee Omar Artan by United States immigration authorities, describing the incident as further evidence that the 2026 FIFA World Cup is failing to live up to its promise of bringing the world together. Artan, who was poised to become the first Somali official to referee at a FIFA World Cup finals tournament, said he was subjected to an 11-hour immigration interview at Miami International Airport before being denied entry to the United States despite holding what he described as the “right papers” and the “right visa.” Following the incident, FIFA removed Artan from its list of World Cup match officials on Monday, ending his historic opportunity to participate in football’s biggest tournament.

Hannah & Miles

  Hannah & Miles  Hannah was getting overwhelmed at the senior walk. It was loud, people were cheering, and even from a distance, her Mom could tell she felt uncomfortable. But before she could move toward her daughter, Miles grabbed her hand. He smiled at his friend and made her feel safe. The same way he did when they were in the 5th grade. Hannah and Miles were in an inclusive classroom together and became good friends. That friendship has stuck over the years. And it means a lot to both of them. So when Miles saw his friend get overwhelmed at graduation, he didn’t think twice. He just reached out and grabbed her hand. Hannah’s mom told me she was brought to tears by his kindness, but it was the most natural thing in the world to Miles. He respects and likes his classmate, she’s one of the crew. And on the biggest day of her life, she felt that. She was included. Inclusion works, and these two amazing kids are proof of it. Congratulations to Hannah and Mile...
