3 years after the #Taliban seized power, the int'l community must not normalize the de facto authorities or their appalling human rights violations. Proud to join 29 UN expert mandates urging protection, support & solidarity for the people of #Afghanistan ohchr.org/sites/default/…

Three years of Taliban rule have crushed Afghan women’s rights. We can’t stay silent any longer. It's time to take action. Read my latest article #AfghanWomen #HumanRights #GenderApartheid #EndGenderApartheid usnews.com/opinion/articl…

Three years ago, the Taliban imposed their brutal rule in Afghanistan, snatching away the most basic rights of women and girls. Now, it’s time to hold them accountable for these crimes through international courts at The Hague, as I write in TIME: time.com/7011031/taliba…

It's 3 years since the Taliban took control of Afghanistan Since then they've implemented a de facto ban on girls attending school beyond Grade 6 The policy was even unpopular amongst many Taliban members, but there's no sign of progress Entire generations deprived of a future

The house and cars of Dr Ibrahim Seddeh were set on fire by settlers last night in the West Bank village of Jit. This is what he had to say about the fact Netanyahu and other ministers “condemned” the attack

Hamas has NOT said no to the new American proposal bridging the gaps between the parties. It has not been presented to them yet. They have said no to Netanyahu’s terms on Philadelphi and a checkpoint leading to north Gaza. Talks in Doha will be followed by talks in Cairo after

Well done Dania Akkad & Middle East Eye for chasing this story up & independently finding your own sources to corroborate my reporting that a FCDO diplomat resigned over concerns over UK "complicity in War Crimes". It is the first UK resignation we know of. middleeasteye.net/news/british-f…
