Heartbroken by the loss of life in #Jericho . Every loss of life is a painful reminder of the ongoing violence and suffering endured by the #Palestinian people form the #Israeli hand. My thoughts and condolences are with #OmarMohammadAwadins family. #FreePalestine #JusticeForAll

The preparations for #COP28 are revealing a concerning trend of mixed messages and controversial invites. While world leaders emphasize #climateaction , giving prominent roles to fossil fuel bosses undermines the credibility of the summit... #UAE #humanrights

Negotiations are underway in #Ljubljana for a new convention on the prosecution of international crimes. The #MLA represents a major step towards strengthening global accountability for grave #humanrights violations. #Accountability #Justice #crimesagainsthumanity

Disturbing increase in executions in #Iran . The #UN Special Rapporteur on extrajudicial, summary or arbitrary executions, Agnes Callamard, calls for an immediate end to the #deathpenalty . Upholding the right to life is crucial, and alternative measures should be explored.

The right to peaceful assembly must be respected, and violence should never be met with more violence. Authorities should prioritize de-escalation, dialogue, and ensure accountability for any human rights abuses. #PakistanProtests #HumanRights

Join the global movement for equality and #humanrights on International Day Against #Homophobia , #Biphobia , and #Transphobia ! Together, we can build a world where love, acceptance, and respect prevail! #IDAHOBIT #EqualityForAll

#Girlseducation is under attack in #Iran , and we cannot remain silent! The recent poisoning of schoolgirls is a clear example of the lengths some will go to prevent girls from learning. We must demand accountability and stand with the brave fighting for their #righttolearn !

The 30th anniversary of #WorldPressFreedomDay should have acknowledged the importance of #freedomofexpression , which serves as the foundation for all other #humanrights . #Pressfreedom has never been under such a concerted attack worldwide!

#Israel i authorities use of facial recognition technology to track #Palestinians and automate harsh restrictions on their #freedomofmovement is a violation of human rights. This practice must stop now. #StopApartheid #Israel #HumanRights

51 #humanrights organizations call for the immediate release of #SalahSoltan , father of a #US human rights defender, & access to life-saving healthcare in #Egypt . The authorities should conduct transparent investigations into reports of torture and mistreatment! @dawnmena_org

URGENT: #SalahSoltan An academic in #Egypt is at risk of death after being detained without trial for over two years. Human Rights Watch is calling for his immediate release and for the authorities to ensure his safety, access to medical care. Please join us in demanding #JusticeForSalahSoltan

#Journalists play a crucial role in holding power accountable, but #spyware is threatening their safety and freedom! States must take immediate action to stop this violation of press freedom! #ProtectJournalists #StopSpyware #Pegasus #NSO shorturl.at/aJPU7

The imprisonment of Mohammed al-Halabi, WorldVision Gaza director, by #Israel is deeply concerning. Any unjust detention or mistreatment of individuals, regardless of their background or affiliation is unacceptable. #freeMohammedalHalabi

While consistently attacking #humanrights & freedoms, targeting rights activists, passing oppressive legislation, and using the criminal justice system as a tool for repression, the #UAE will utilize its presidency of the #COP28 in December to portray a false picture of tolerance

How can a conference promoting any kind of activism, be that climate or something else, be held in a country that regularly oppresses, imprisons and assaults #humanrights activists? #climateawareness is tied to #democracy ! #UAE #COP28

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

The UAE's hosting of #COP28 in Dec 2023 must not be used as a cover-up to conceal the govt's ongoing assault on #humanrights . The int'l community must hold the #UAE accountable for its actions and demand an end to the targeting of activists and repressive laws!

While govts formally express support to #freedomofexpression , the reality on the ground is often quite different. In the #UAE , for example, journalists are subjected to brutal #humanrights violations. Despite this, UAE is set to host the upcoming #COP28 ?! #WorldPressFreedomDay

The link between #socialjustice , #humanrights and #climate is well known! There could be no sustainability in a deeply unjust society, with a murderous and brutal regime. Having #COP28 hosted by the #UAE this December is an ultimate hypocrisy!

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...
