For over 20 years, CAGE has stood on the frontline defending those who are unjustly targeted, arrested and imprisoned. We've supported the Filton 25, advocated for Dr Aafia Siddiqui, and supported the prisoners of Guantánamo. That work is only possible because of your generous support. Standing with our survivors is, at the very least, a Fardh Kifayah, a communal obligation. As this blessed Jumu'ah draws to a clos…

ERR is average views per post over the last 30 days divided by subscribers, the definition TGStat uses, so this figure is comparable with the one you will see elsewhere. It falls structurally as a channel grows: a high ERR on a small channel and a low one on a large channel describe reach mathematics, not quality. We publish the figure and the sample it came from and pass no verdict on it.
ER is defined industry-wide as (forwards + reactions + comments) ÷ views— note the denominator is views, not subscribers. Telegram’s public web preview carries views and reactions but not forward or comment counts, so the reaction rate above is the reactions term only and is therefore a floor: the true ER for this channel is higher by an amount we have not measured and will not estimate. It is computed over the 4 of 6 measured posts that carry a reaction reading, and over those same posts' views.

Views are a single reading per post, taken at the time above. A post published in the last day or two is still accumulating views, which pulls the 30-day average down slightly. That is a property of the standard definition rather than a fault in it, so we keep the definition rather than “correcting” the number into something nobody can reproduce.
Precision. Telegram publishes view counts on its public widget in short form — 8.12K, 3.7M — so any reading at or above 1,000 reaches us rounded to three significant figures, and only counts below 1,000 are exact. Averages and rates derived from them are shown to the same precision rather than to the unit: a figure like 3,701,250 would assert digits nobody measured.
Reaction counts are published per emoji and rounded the same way, so a total below 1,000 is exact and a larger one is a sum that may carry a rounded component from each emoji above 1,000. Because it is a sum, it does not look rounded — read a large reaction total as three significant figures per contributing emoji rather than as the figure it prints.
Reaction mix
12 reactions across 5 posts, in 4 distinct kinds. The most used accounts for 66.7% of them.
| Reaction | Count | Share | Share, drawn |
|---|---|---|---|
| ❤ | 8 | 66.7% | |
| 🤬 | 2 | 16.7% | |
| 😱 | 1 | 8.33% | |
| 🤯 | 1 | 8.33% |
No sentiment is inferred, and none should be read in. This table is ordered by count and by nothing else. Emoji do not carry stable meaning across languages or communities — 🙏 is thanks in one channel and mourning in another — so we publish which ones were pressed and how often, and pass no judgement on what an audience meant by them.
Precision. Telegram publishes reaction counts per emoji and short-forms each one — 4.34K, 1.2M — so any single kind at or above 1,000 reaches us at three significant figures, and only counts below 1,000 are exact. The shares above are ratios of those figures and carry the same error. This is also why the total here can differ slightly from a reaction total printed elsewhere on the page: both are sums of the same rounded parts, taken over samples with different edges.
Coverage. Reactions were read on 5 of the 9 sampled posts in this sample. Summed by Telegram’s own count on each post — not by adding up the per-emoji breakdown above — those same posts carry 12reactions in total: the kind of figure the paragraph above means by “a reaction total printed elsewhere on the page”.
Measured over the 9 most recent posts we hold, published 24 July 2026 to 31 July 2026, using the newest reading held for each. Telegram Stars are excluded: they are a payment, not a reaction, and they have their own section.

Blindfolded in a black hood, with a knife held to his neck, and tied up amongst others. Our Senior Director, Moazzam Begg, recalls the first time he prayed under US Military custody. At that moment, the brother next to him quietly reminded him of prayer. Even in chains, they turned to Allah. This is the reality for many prisoners today. On this blessed Jumu'ah, don't miss the opportunity to support prisoners facin…

The "War on Terror" never ended. It just found new targets… In Texas, a court sentenced anti-ICE protesters to a combined 450 years in prison following demonstrations outside an ICE detention centre. One defendant received 30 years for simply moving a box of magazines after the protest, despite not being present during the protest. The parallels with the Holy Land Foundation case are hard to ignore, where five Pal…

Known for his intelligence, humility, and generosity, he lived a life of purpose and simplicity. He believed that …

Showing the 9 most recent of 9 posts we hold for @cage_ngo. View and reaction counts are the latest single reading for each post, not a live figure, and a recent post is still accumulating both. A view count marked ≈ was rounded by Telegram before we ever saw it — t.me prints views in full below 1,000 and to three significant figures above, so ≈1,200,000 means somewhere between 1,150,000 and 1,249,999. Unmarked counts are exact. Text is reproduced from the public post preview and truncated for length.
