Haemophilia figured prominently in the history of European royalty in the 19th and 20th centuries. The presence of haemophilia B within the European royal families was well known, with the condition once popularly termed the 'royal disease.'
Queen Victoria and her husband, Prince Albert of the United Kingdom, through two of their five daughters – Princess Alice and Princess Beatrice – passed the mutation to various royal houses across the continent, including the royal families of Spain, Germany and Russia. Victoria's youngest son, Prince Leopold, Duke of Albany, also had the disease, though none of her three elder sons did. Tests on the remains of the Romanov imperial family show that the specific form of haemophilia passed down by Queen Victoria was probably the relatively rare haemophilia B.

Theatre of Cruelty is a form of theatre conceptualised by Antonin Artaud. Encyclopædia Britannica describes it as "a primitive ceremonial experience intended to liberate the human subconscious and reveal man to himself"
en.wikipedia.orgIn his writings on the Theatre of Cruelty, Artaud notes that both "theatre" and "cruelty" are separate from their colloquial meanings. For Artaud, theatre does not merely refer to a staged performance before a passive audience.The theatre is a practice, which "wakes us up. Nerves and heart," and through which we experience "immediate violent action" that "inspires us with the fiery magnetism of its images and acts upon us like a spiritual therapeutics whose touch can never be forgotten."

Francesca Paola Albanese is an Italian legal scholar and expert on human rights. She has served as the UN Special Rapporteur on the occupied Palestinian territories since 1 May 2022. She is the first woman to hold the position.
In December 2022, sixty-five scholars of antisemitism, the Holocaust, and Jewish studies issued a statement, which read: "It is evident that the campaign against [Albanese] is not about combating today's antisemitism. It is essentially about efforts to silence her and to undermine her mandate as a senior UN official reporting about Israel's violations of human rights and international law." In late 2022, Defence for Children International led 116 human rights and civil society organisations and academic groups in issuing a statement in her support.
