Deeply concerning reports @pchrgaza researcher/human rights defender Ayman Lubad was among those arbitrarily detained, stripped & photographed by Israeli forces.

He must be returned safely. Israel must end collective punishment of HRDs & civilians in Gaza.

🚨Three days ago, 2023 Nobel Peace Prize laureate and WHRD Narges Mohammadi was summoned to Evin court for new charges but banned from attending her own hearing for refusing to wear the mandatory hijab. We stand in solidarity with Narges Mohammadi and urge Iranian authorities to drop the unjust charges immediately which are a way of targeting her for her work in defence of human rights. ✊🕊️
