You may hear a lot about the Good Friday Agreement over the next few days - @POTUS Joe Biden & others are travelling to mark its 25th anniversary.

It helps to protect peace & rights in Northern Ireland.

But what is it? And how is the UK government undermining it? 🧵👇

[Amnesty Brighton @AmnestyBrighton]

New research from @amnesty shows that for over a decade, the #Netherlands has put its trading interests above its duty to protect against #HumanRights abuse by companies operating under its jurisdiction in countries including #China and #Russia.

Apartheid is deprivation.
Apartheid is segregation.
Apartheid is fragmentation.
Apartheid is dispossession.

Israel’s apartheid over Palestinians is a crime against humanity

A pollster asked people about what they thought about the UK government's plans for human rights… it didn’t go as planned.

We can't let them bring this back - share this video to spread the word

After 100 days on hunger strike and over 1000 days in prison, Alaa Abd el-Fatta now survives on water, milk, honey and salt. @trussliz must tell Egypt to #freeAlaa now @AIUKCCNAT @FreedomForAlaa

Many civilians have already been killed after attacks by Russian forces hit hospitals & schools.

The invasion has also led to mass displacement & destruction of housing.

Governments including the UK, must ensure ANYONE fleeing #Ukraine is given protection without discrimination

[Amnesty International @amnesty]

Amnesty International’s Crisis Evidence Lab analyzed digital evidence — including photos, videos and satellite imagery of indiscriminate attacks in #Ukraine. They have verified violations of international law which could amount to war crimes.

Today marks a year since the end of Nazanin’s first sentence, and the one year that should have completed her second. Her detention remains - open-ended. #FreeNazanin #EndHostageDiplomacy
