New Human Rights Watch report on humiliating images of Palestinian detainees published by Israeli soldiers, media outlets, or activists. Some images show detainees stripped to their underwear - in some cases completely naked - and handcuffed, blindfolded, and injured. hrw.org/news/2024/07/2…
Meta’s Oversight Board rules ‘From the River to the Sea’ isn’t hate speech, but the company still has a long way to go to address its broader censorship of protected speech about Palestine on its platforms. Human Rights Watch hrw.org/news/2024/09/1…
