### News and Updates ### <br>
<br>
*** Release of #Istanbul10 but Others Still Incarcerated ***<br>
We received the news of the release of #Istanbul10 with great joy.
However, others have not, including Taner Kılıç, Chair of Amnesty
International Turkey. Taner is charged with “<br>
“membership of the Fethullah Gülen Terrorist Organization.” The
charge is based on allegations that he downloaded and used the
ByLock messaging application, claimed to have been used by the
Gülen movement to communicate. Use the hashtag #FreeTaner to
demand his release and keep current. <br>

***Newmark Foundation Grant To Enable Research By IWMF And
TrollBusters On Online Harassment Of Female Journalists In U.S.***<br>
The International Women’s Media Foundation (IWMF) has just
received a grant from the Craig Newmark Foundation to conduct
research in the United States on online harassment of women
journalists. Dr. Michelle Ferrier, founder of TrollBusters, will
be the principal investigator on the project, while Fairbank,
Maslin, Maullin, Metz & Associates (FM3) of California will

*** FINAL HOURS for Travel Grants Too! ***<br>
The Diversity and Inclusion Fund (DIF) is back to provide travel
assistance opportunities to 2018 IFF session hosts from the Global
South. In addition to Latin America, Sub-Saharan Africa, MENA,
South Asia and Southeast Asia, we have added Eastern Europe to the
fund. <br>
<br>
Important Reminder! There can only be one DIF grantee per
proposal. This means that if two people co-host a session, only
the person who submits the proposal is eligible for travel
funding. If someone else from your session wants to apply for the
DIF, they will need to submit another proposal. In order for them
to get travel funding through the DIF, that proposal needs to be
accepted. <br>
<br>
You can submit your proposal here:

***Series: How to Create Safe Spaces***<br>
Recently, we were asked to share the strategies we use to make the
IFF spaces “safer.” As a result, we have launched a Safe Space
weekly series where we will be sharing some of the knowledge,
strategies and tips we have acquired in the last four years.<br>

***Cómo enviar una gran sesión para el Internet Freedom
Festival***<br>
Nuestro equipo recibe muchas propuestas para el Internet Freedom
Festival: “¿cómo sé si mi tema es relevante para la audiencia?”,
“¿qué tan larga puede ser mi presentación?”, “¿puedo hacer
estallar un cañón con serpentinas y brillantina hacia la
audiencia?” Ok, tal vez la última no es real. (Pero la respuesta
es: sí, amamos la brillantina.) Por fortuna, escribimos este
artículo para enfatizar cómo luce una sesión ganadora.<br>

***Exciting Changes for Signal in the Near Future***<br>
Users of Signal, the end-to-end encrypted communications app, may
have noticed some recent changes and upgrades. Signal recently
added video calling, encrypted profile capabilities, and read
receipts. According to Signal staff, these improvements are
largely because of the generous feedback of beta testers.<br>
