It was a pleasure to share a panel with award-winning Anders Hammer at the screening of "The Takeover" at Frontline Club in London. The documentary features the resistance of brave female protestors in the early days of the Taliban takeover, and I highly recommend it for watching

The Tunisian government has turned arbitrary detention into a cornerstone of its repressive policy, aimed at depriving people of their rights. Authorities should end their crackdown against perceived critics and release all those arbitrary detained. trib.al/iAsEmew

Zimbabwe’s President Emmerson Mnangagwa recently signed a law on nongovernmental organizations that sharply curtails the rights to freedom of association and expression. NGOs cannot freely exercise these rights when their very existence is under threat. trib.al/ekhGY65

Haiti’s security situation is in a free fall and Haitians are suffering horrific abuses. Increasing violence by criminal groups and clashes with “self-defense” groups are contributing to the dangerous insecurity. trib.al/Uk9hhXu

Hundreds of people in Türkiye, mainly students, are going on trial for protesting the detention of Istanbul’s mayor. The rushed trials show Türkiye’s restrictions on the right to assembly are arbitrary and incompatible with a democratic society based on the rule of law.
