CFJ's dynamic video highlights Omoyele Sowore's treason case. ABA CHR monitored Sowore's trial for over 4 years as part of the TrialWatch initiative. The resilience of our monitor in persisting with the trial was absolutely crucial to his case finally being struck out.

The 7 labor unions in Lesotho with ABA Human Rights support argued that only allowing textile & security workers half as much paid leave is discrimination based on both sector of work and sex, violating Lesotho’s Constitution, ILO conventions, and UN treaties

Recently, TrialWatch released an in-depth report on the trial of award-winning Guatemalan journalist #ZamoraLibre #FreeJRZ with our partners at the ABA Human Rights. "The TrialWatch report meticulously outlines severe irregularities in Zamora’s trial," Committee to Protect Journalists said. cpj.org/2024/02/severe…

Zamora was convicted and sentenced to 6 years in prison in apparent retaliation for his investigative journalism. TrialWatch shared its report with the UN Working Group on Arbitrary Detention, which is currently considering his case. cfj.org/news/trial-of-…

Very disappointed to hear that union organiser and HRD Obert was found guilty of obstruction charges today in Zim & detained. The judicial harassment of Obert has been going on far too long and must end Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Int Trade Sentencing is tomorrow. I'm hoping it will be non-custodial.

Today, the UNWGAD found José Rubén Zamora's detention arbitrary and called for his release. Our #TrialWatch report concluded that his detention was arbitrary and that the proceedings were "in retaliation for his work as an investigative journalist reporting on gov't corruption"

CHR_ABA's #TrialWatch report found that Guatemalan authorities violated Mr. Zamora's right to be free of inhuman and degrading treatment. He should be immediately released. americanbar.org/content/dam/ab…

After being arbitrarily detained for over 800 days, #JoseRubénZamora has finally been released to house arrest. His prolonged detention appeared to be punishment for his work as a journalist; he should never have been prosecuted in the first place. shorturl.at/yhHHc
