### In the World ###
*** Uyghur Activist Faces Extradition From Morocco To China ***
After his arrest in Morocco, Uyghur activist Yidresi Aishan faces
extradition to China where he could face torture. MENA Rights Group
and Uyghur Congress are requesting the urgent intervention of the UN
Special Rapporteur on torture, calling for Aishan's release.

*** Lebanon: Evidence Implicates Officials in Beirut Blast ***
Human Rights Watch investigation finds that actions and omission of
Lebanon officials led to August 4, 2020 Beirut Blast and violated the
right to life under international law. Yet, systemic problems in
Lebanon’s legal and political system are allowing them to avoid
accountability.

*** Women Targeted in Hack-and-leak Attacks Speak Out About Spyware ***
Female journalists and activists say they had their private photos
shared on social media by governments seeking to intimidate and
silence them. Amnesty International is calling on governments to issue
a moratorium on the export, sale and use of surveillance technology
like Pegasus until there is a human rights-compliant regulatory
framework in place.

*** Zimbabwe: The Cybersecurity and Data Protection Bill Has Been
Recommitted in the Senate ***
MISA Zimbabwe recommended that an independent data protection
authority that is answerable to parliament while its appointment
processes are publicly conducted as is the case in other jurisdictions
and best practice. The organisation recommended the development of a
framework that promotes a democratic and pro-human rights approach
towards internet governance.

*** Zoom Settles US Class Action Privacy Lawsuit for $86m ***
The lawsuit alleged that Zoom had invaded the privacy of millions of
users by sharing personal data with Facebook, Google and LinkedIn. It
also accused Zoom of misstating that it offers end-to-end encryption
and for failing to prevent hackers from "zoombombing" sessions.

### Community News ###
*** Conexo Released RAWRR ***
Conexo announced the 1.0 release of RAWRR (Risk Assessment Workflow
for Recommendation Roadmaps). RAWRR is a multiplatform local app that
assists with note taking and report generation for security
evaluations like (but not limited to) those based on SAFETAG. Users
can store assets, evaluation activities, threats, vulnerabilities and
recommendations; and those elements can be selected and linked to be
present in an exported report in one of several file formats.
RAWRR binaries for Windows, Linux and Mac OS:

*** The Draft Schedule for the Internet Governance Forum 2021 Is Out ***
The IGF 2021 process will include a preparatory and engagement phase

Government of Poland in Katowice from 6-10 December 2021. The
programme of the IGF 2021 develops around its issue areas. Different
types of sessions, proposed predominantly by the multistakeholder
networks from different parts of the world, after being evaluated, are
incorporated in the schedule.

*** APC’s Challenging Hate: Lecture Series will Focus on Decolonising
Media, Communication, and Technology studies
These presentations will explore the concept and practice of caste and
how it reinforces discriminatory social hierarchies that affect more
than one-fifth of the world’s population. While caste originated in
South Asia, it manifests itself in digital cultures in various forms,
including caste-based hate speech, casteism in public data
initiatives, and discriminatory practices in online platforms.
