@SAsiaSolidarity marking #HumanRights Day today in London with @right2dissent20 and 30 orgs across 15+ countries. Speaking up is not anti- national, silencing people is! #StopGaggingFreedomOfSpeech

Activists in India are being silenced with accusations of being anti-national, including the BK16.

Grave concern for citizen #journalist #ZhangZhan, who needs urgent medical care for deteriorating health. #Shanghai Women’s Prison authorities must ensure she isn’t subject to torture and has access to her family & lawyer of her choice.

[Amnesty Mayfair & Soho @AmnestyMayfair]

Our group had a zoom social to do some letter writing for the #BK16 - cards done ☑️

[Amnesty Mayfair & Soho @AmnestyMayfair]

While activist @zouxingtong was granted bail, she is still facing the charge related to unauthorized assembly.

Act now to ask the #HongKong government to drop all charges against her solely based on her peaceful exercise of human rights: https://t.co/e45mL0nJrn

Outspoken human rights lawyer #GaoZhisheng was sentenced to prison for “inciting subversion” and was released in 2014.
He went missing in Aug ’17 and there has been no news of him since then.

#China must disclose his whereabouts and let him contact his family.

[Amnesty Mayfair & Soho @AmnestyMayfair]

We’re running a zoom meeting in Monday to go through the consultation together. Message your email address to get the link if you want to join us! We’ll be meeting from 5.30-6.30 (and hoping it doesn’t take any longer...) 🤞💪

[Amnesty UK @AmnestyUK]

We can't let them get away with. Pls take part in the Government's immigration and asylum consultation. Here's a guide: https://t.co/BXkQsqk5YZ

This is simply outrageous 😡

Open to everyone interested in opposing what the Home Office is doing, @AmnestyUK or otherwise. #amnesty #londonregion #immigration #asylum #RefugeesWelcome

[Amnesty Mayfair & Soho @AmnestyMayfair]

We’re having a catch up to go through the Home Office Immigration consultation on Mon 3 May, 5.30-6.30pm.

We’re not complete experts but if you’d like to join us, send a message with your email (and name if not obvious from your handle) and we’ll send you the zoom link.

We had a really inspiring group meeting last night - positive signs on the #DeathPenalty from the US and #LGBT+ rights in Angola, as well as starting out campaigns on #Guantanamo (with support from the amazing Lewes AIUK group) and Human Rights in the UK.

Lots of work to do!

[Amnesty Mayfair & Soho @AmnestyMayfair]

The Govt of #India needs to be reminded of its promise for human rights. Unfreeze the accounts of @AIIndia so it can carry out the human rights work!

[AIUK North Africa Team @AIUKCCNAT]

Grave concern for #HumanRightsDefenders imprisoned in #Cairo via @UNHumanRights including #IbrahimEzzElDin #BringIbrahimHome @AlsisiOfficial @MfaEgypt @moiegy

Tomorrow is the 73rd birthday of the oldest inmate in #GuantanamoBay, Saifullah Paracha. We wish him well under the incredibly difficult circumstances. Take action on Guantanamo Bay with @amnestyusa here:

[Clare @clare1cal]

It seems like, with everything else going on, it’s easy to forget one of the most egregious human rights abuses of our generation: #GuantanamoBay. Tomorrow is the 73rd birthday of it’s oldest inmate, Saifullah Paracha.

@CiLuna27 @FreeKylieMG @FreeTheNamazis @FreeNazanin @freeanoosheh @FreeMassud @UnitedForNarges @Soheil_Arabi_ir @FreekamranG @FaribaRoland @AtenaDaemi Thanks for flagging these accounts - followed the ones I wasn’t already for updates, actions, and support.

[CiLuna @CiLuna27]

It is again #FollowFriday #FF and I ask you to follow accounts who support prisoners of conscience in Iran. Please follow @FreeKylieMG @FreeTheNamazis @FreeNazanin @freeanoosheh @FreeMassud @UnitedForNarges @Soheil_Arabi_ir @FreekamranG @FaribaRoland @AtenaDaemi #SetThemFree

This case really seems to live up to the old saying: “Capital Punishment. Those without the capital get the punishment.”

What a crappy defence lawyer (and corrupt police etc)...

#EndTheDeathPenalty #BillieAllen #BlackLivesMatter

[Karine Omry @KarineOmry]

Please spread the word about #BillieAllen. He is an INNOCENT man who was sentenced to death for a crime he didn't commit! For more information about his case please check his website https://t.co/PLSaA56kJU

Today we held another vigil for @raif_badawi in #Vienna. He is injustly in prison for 8 years now and hasn't seen his family since. We will continue to fight for his release. #FreeRaif #StandWithSaudiHeroes

[Amnesty International USA @amnestyusa]

This teen in South Sudan is no longer on death row thanks to your actions. Together, we can end the death penalty for everyone, everywhere.

[Claudia Tramèr @claudiatramer.bsky.social @claudia_tramer]

Good news for #JohnRamirez. But this decision proves once again the arbitrariness in regard to the death penalty and executions. #BillyWardlow's execution a few weeks ago didn't get cancelled.
