A very British medical scandal in the 1960s and 1970s, hiding in plain sight. This is the chilling exposé of Dr Sargant's bizarre psychiatric treatment on his female patients without their consent. The Sleep Room by @JSThrillers is out 3rd April: brnw.ch/21wRcUi

I’m so upset by this graffiti attack on my grandfather’s library. Alfred Wiener had a PhD in Islamic studies and cared deeply about Arab people. To see his Holocaust archive vandalised in this way suggests an attack on Jews not a critique of Israel. It’s dismaying.

Slice of life from Damascus! During a recent trip to Damascus to replace a lost national ID card, a Syrian exile journeyed into the belly of Assad’s bureaucracy, which was hungrier and more emboldened than they remembered, as they write for @newlinesmag newlinesmag.com/first-person…
