“Culture isn’t just dead stones and statues; culture is life. Culture is all the ways in which we move and interact together as peoples.” There is an inextricable link between the destruction of cultural heritage and genocide. getty.edu/podcasts/art-a…

#Myanmar’s military junta systematically uses torture against political prisoners. But it is the Generals who belong in prison, not those who stand up for democracy and human rights. 🇲🇲

Starvation is systematically being used as a weapon in #Gaza. Children are dying. This is immoral, unjustifiable and utterly illegal.

AFP Journalists’ Association on reporters in Gaza: ‘Since AFP was founded in August 1944, we have lost journalists in conflicts, we have had wounded and prisoners in our ranks, but none of us can remember seeing a colleague die of hunger. We refuse to see them die’

People are starving in #Gaza by design, not because of a natural disaster. UNRWA Norwegian Refugee Council and other humanitarian organizations have food aid ready to be distributed. It’s time to end the unconscionable and illegal collective punishment of the Palestinian people.

“Disappearing” people is what dictators and authoritarian states do. This will not end with immigrants. The most fundamental civil and human rights of all Americans are being eroded and are under threat. nytimes.com/2025/07/23/opi…

#Sudan is the largest under-reported humanitarian crisis in the world. 30.4 million people facing acute hunger. 12 million displaced, incl 3.9 million refugees. Millions of lives are at stake as rival warlords continue to commit atrocities with impunity. globalr2p.org/countries/suda…

As the unjust detention of activists and protestors becomes increasingly common, it becomes more important to learn about tactics. See how a network of doctors, lawyers, and SMS messaging stopped torture, preserved human rights, and supported protesters: shorturl.at/G0s0D

Norinco, a defense company owned by the Chinese state, is arming #Myanmar’s military junta and enabling their atrocities. They should be sanctioned immediately. irrawaddy.com/news/myanmars-…
