Amnesty International fully supports the mandate and vital work of the UN Special Procedures, including Special Rapporteur Francesca Albanese. Their independence is absolute and protected from interference from states and integral to an effective execution of their mandates.

Amnesty has previously raised concerns about personal attacks against among others Francesca Albanese. Any attempts to misconstrue, discredit or place political pressure on independent mandate holders risk undermining the integrity of the crucial international human rights mechanisms at a time when it is under attacks; at a time too when Israel’s genocide against Palestinians in the Gaza Strip, its unlawful occupation of the Palestinian territory, and its cruel system of apartheid against all Palestinians whose rights Israel control continue with total impunity.

Amnesty reaffirms its support for the work of the Special Rapporteur on upholding international law, including by denouncing the system that has enabled the genocide against Palestinians in Gaza, including the financial capital that funds it, the algorithms that obscure it and the weapons that enable it.

Amnesty itself has denounced on many occasions the political economy of repression behind the genocide, the crime against humanity of apartheid and unlawful
Occupation. The organization has called on third parties to refrain from providing any assistance to Israel’s illegal conduct and for states to live up to their legal obligations under international law including by cooperating to bring Israel’s international crimes to an end.  on many occasions.

Nyeri urgently needs a functional GBV Rescue Center and full implementation of the Gender Action Plan.
Justice must be lawful, firm, and transparent.

We mourn baby Shantel and continue to demand justice for baby Tamara. These are not isolated cases they reflect a deeper GBV crisis in Nyeri.

At our recent KIKAO, Amnesty International Kenya – Nyeri COC called for accountability not just pressers and unfulfilled commitments.

First meeting of the year done! Handed over to new officials, launched our #GBV campaign theme, and tackled pressing issues like defilement and femicide. Let's stand against GBV, report incidents, support survivors, and join the conversation! #EndGBV

Truphena's 72-hour tree hug isn’t just a world record, it’s a bold reminder that nature has rights too. Her act speaks of deep love for the planet, a call to protect our environment as we would our own freedoms. #HumanRights #TruphenaMuthoni #ClimateJustice #TreeHuggingRecord

Power belongs to the people and their voices must be heard, respected, and acted upon. Democracy demands nothing less. #PublicParticipation #PeoplePower

Today, I attended a public participation forum held by NYEWASCO at the Nyeri Cultural Centre. The session was about a proposed 33% increase in water tariffs. As a passionate SDG & governance advocate, I had to be there. #SDG6 #PublicParticipation

[Amnesty Nyeri COC @AmnestyNyeri]

Today we took part in a public participation forum by NYEWASCO at Nyeri Cultural Centre on the proposed water tariff increase.
The people of Nyeri firmly rejected the move and their voice must be respected.

[Wilfred Mwangi @willymwangi_KE]

It will be an honor to having the CEO of the National Gender and Equality Commission at #NyeriYouthSummit2025. With rising GBV cases and frequent exposure of survivors in our county, her presence will be vital in shaping youth-led solutions and advancing gender justice.

We can’t talk about inequality without talking about debt. When a nation takes loans it cannot manage, the poor pay twice first through austerity, then through lost opportunities. Kenya needs transparent, people-centered fiscal policy. @AyubAbdikadir #CitizenDayBreak
