Hats off to the brave #Israel i #protesters ! 23 WEEKS OF PROTESTS! The western democracies' deafening silence in response to the outrageous actions of the criminal #Netanyahu - #BenGvir government is absolutely shameful! #Israel #Palestine #US tinyurl.com/5f98jaz3

Disconcerting news! Nearly 80 primary school students, mostly girls, are suspected to have been poisoned over the weekend, taken to hospital in #Afghanistan 's Sangcharak district. Just when we thought the Taliban had hit the bottom, they are still digging. #LetAfghanGirlsLearn

The #Iranian authorities’ dramatic escalation of #executions since the death of #MahsaAmini is a serious violation of the #righttolife & must be strongly condemned. AT LEAST 209 people were executed in the first 4 months of 2023! #ExecutionsinIran #EndDeathPenalty #rights

On May 23, armed #Houthi forces raided a private residence in Sanaa, where members of the #Bahai community were attending their annual national convention, and forcibly disappeared 17 Bahais, Their whereabouts and well-being have been unknown since. #Yemen

As the #PrideMonth begins, let's address challenges faced by #LGBTQ individuals in #UK , including hate crimes & discrimination. It is essential to come together and tackle these issues in order to ensure equal #humanrights of all. #backslidingdemocracy

#ExecutionsinIran , following unfair trials and torture, constitute #crimesagainsthumanity and should be addressed as such by the int'l community and the #ICC . We must hold those responsible accountable and ensure justice is served! #EndDeathPenalty

Before #ImranKhan #PTI party came to power in 2018, Khan was known as the 'military's darling', portrayed by the army's social media as #Pakistan 's saviour, the one who could fight dynastic politicians, deep-rooted corruption. It's a thin line between love and hate. On both sides

The watering down of the #MLA on #warcrimes , #genocide , #crimesagainsthumanity , ratified in Ljubljana on May 26, is quite disappointing. Once again, #UK , #France 's own agendas and interests have been prioritized over universal justice.

#Israeli forces deployed in #Jericho have fatally shot a young #Palestinian , #YoussefAlKhatib , raising serious questions about the excessive use of force and the protection of human rights. The tragic loss of lives underscores the urgent need for a comprehensive resolution

#UAE move to invite #BasharalAssad to #COP28 , after readmission of #Syria to the #ArabLeague , has been widely criticized due to Assad's reported #crimesagainsthumanity . It is vital to maintain a balance between addressing climate change & upholding the #humanrights principles.

Int'l Day Against #Homophobia , #Biphobia & #Transphobia , observed on May 17th, serves as a powerful reminder of the ongoing struggles faced by #LGBTQI + community. Everyone deserves equal rights, regardless of their gender identity! #IDAHOBIT #humanrights

#MohammedalQahtani must be immediately and unconditionally released from #enforceddisappearance by #SaudiArabia n authorities. #FreeMohammedAlQahtani #SaudiArabia carolyn tyner

#NGOs are under attack in the #UAE , with rights and freedoms suppressed by the government. The UAE government's 'sustained assault' on civil society has been documented in a new report. amnesty.org/en/documents/m… #humanrights @HRW @Amnesty

Despite the UAE's disregard of the rights to #freespeech , association, and assembly, the #UAE government may attempt to cynically project a fake image of openness and tolerance during its presidency of the #COP28 in December. @HRW @Amnesty

As the #UAE prepares to host #COP28 , concerns about its #humanrights record loom. Authorities continue to suppress #freedomofexpression and #peacefulassembly , leaving little room for political dissent. A more just and open society is needed! @HRW @Amnesty

#UAE is guilty of numerous #humanrights abuses. Despite the mounting evidence of these abuses, they show no signs of addressing the situation. In response, @HRW & @Amnesty are calling for the UAE to be removed as the host of #COP28 , the upcoming #UN #climate conference.

As the #UAE prepares to host #COP28 , concerns grow over the govt's severe restrictions on #humanrights , including #freedomofexpression and #peacefulassembly . The country's recent #cybercrimelaw and #antiterrorismlaw only add to the worries of civil society groups and activists.

If the #UAE is really going to host he #COP28 in Dec this year, something must change. BUT FOR REAL! For more than 10 years, UAE have been unjustly detaining at least 60 Emirati #humanrights defenders, civil society activist & political dissidents. This is ridiculous...

Is anyone really thinking about the #humanrights record of the #UAE ahead of #COP28 , except @HRW, @Amnesty & other human rights organizations?! I wouldn't say so! To begin with, all those detained solely for the exercise of their human rights must be released, NOW! IT'S SHAMEFUL

Ahead of #COP28 , rights groups call on the #UAE to address its poor #humanrights record, including the suppression of #freedomofexpression and association, and the mistreatment of migrant workers. Justice for those affected! @HRW @Amnesty
