Several prominent Hong Kong pro-democracy advocates have been sent to jail. The crackdown has led many activists to seek exile.

Earlier this week, Iran’s Parliament passed a bill that would suspend UN inspections and boost uranium enrichment. Also, we remember Puerto Rican poet Miguel Algarín, the celebrated Nuyorican Poets Cafe.
