On Feb 22, 16-yr-old #AnasAlKhalili was used as a human shield by Israeli troops in Nablus. The use of children as human shields is a violation of both int'l law and #Israeli law. @DCIPalestine has documented at least 31 cases of such incidents since 2000. #Palestine

Palestinian Ministry of Foreign Affairs: lsraeli occupation forces have killed 28 Palestinian children since the beginning of 2023.

Will this Taliban rule nightmare for #Afghanwomenandgirls ever end?! #LetAfghanGirlsLearn https://t.co/uUQ6gDjupV

Devastated to hear about the tragic loss of yet another innocent #Palestinian life. The killing of #OmarMohammadAwadin simply riding his bike is an unspeakable act of violence. The international community must stand up and demand accountability! #Jeninraids #FreePalestine

#MuhammadHaithamalTamimi, a 3-yr-old #Palestinian toddler who was shot in head in the #WestBank by the #Israeli troops 3 days ago, has died. His little body could not fight any more. This is so heartbreaking! #justiceforMuhammad https://t.co/meAaJ9It0r

The West Bank has seen increased violence, with #Israeli forces killing 94 #Palestinians, including #16 children, since January. In one of the raids, #Israeli troops in Jericho killed a 15-yr-old #Palestinian boy, #MohamedFaizBalhan, in the Aqbat Jabr refugee camp.

Where is this world going? #Israeli forces surrounded the #Shalloun family home and used their four #children, including two toddlers, as human shields!? What can we expect next? #Israel #Palestine

[Brandon Beckett @BrandonB687]

Since their takeover, the #Taliban has imposed draconian restrictions on the rights of #Afghanistan’s #women and #girls. Let there be no doubt - this is a #war against women! We must protect #Afghanwomenandgirls!

[Ava Dawson @DawsAva]

The Israeli-Palestinian conflict has inflicted unimaginable brutality on innocent lives. The heartbreaking accounts of #children being used as human shields & families enduring unimaginable pain underscore the urgent need to end this cycle of violence. #OPT #Israel #Palestine

As the #PrideMonth begins, let's address challenges faced by #LGBTQ individuals in #UK, including hate crimes & discrimination. It is essential to come together and tackle these issues in order to ensure equal #humanrights of all. #backslidingdemocracy

[Ryan Connolly @RyanConnolly29]

The #Taliban's abuse of #Afghanwomenandgirls is appalling and needs to be condemned as a #crimeagainsthumanity. The international community must join forces and investigate and punish those accountable for these crimes. #genderpersecution @Amnesty @ICJ_org

[Anna Simone @AnnaSimone2001]

Belgium-Iran prisoner swap raises concerns. Releasing #Assadollah_Assadi, Iranian diplomat involved in a terror plot, sets a worrisome precedent. #Hostagediplomacy should never be rewarded. Let's prioritize justice & hold accountable those who commit crimes. #OlivierVandecasteele

[Anna Simone @AnnaSimone2001]

#UAE authorities persistently violate #humanrights, targeting activists, enacting repressive laws, suppressing freedom. As civic space is closing, dissent is criminalized, freedom of expression restricted, UAE is promoting an image of openness & care for #climatechange?! #COP28

[Anna Simone @AnnaSimone2001]

#KhalafalRumaithi's deportation to #UAE raises serious concerns about his safety & fair treatment. He deserves access to legal representation, family & protection from torture. Emirati and Jordanian authorities must ensure his rights are upheld. #FreeKhalaf #HumanRights

[Anna Simone @AnnaSimone2001]

#SalehMirhashemi #MajidKazemi & #SaeedYaqoubi were unfortunatelly executed on Friday in relation to deaths of 2 Basij paramilitary force members. These three young man were arrested after protests on 16 Nov & wrongfully accused of killing a policeman. #ExecutionsinIran

#LeahSharibu is celebrating another birthday in prison. Since 2018 when she got abducted with 109 other girls, she has been held in captivity for refusing to give up her #Christian belief. #ISWAP is now threatening to make her a slave for life! #freeLeahSharibu #Nigeria

[Judy @Judy333797322]

The UAE's hosting of #COP28 in Dec 2023 must not be used as a cover-up to conceal the govt's ongoing assault on #humanrights. The int'l community must hold the #UAE accountable for its actions and demand an end to the targeting of activists and repressive laws!

[Judy Fox @JudyFox67974065]

A #UN independent expert, Victor Madrigal-Borloz, expressed concerns over #hatespeech, growing abuse of the #LGBTQ rights in the #UK. In all parts of public life, the intolerance towards this community is growing! #backslidingdemocracy #humanrights https://t.co/wrXSWn29MH

[Olivia Willems @OliviaWillems2]

Is anyone really thinking about the #humanrights record of the #UAE ahead of #COP28, except @HRW, @Amnesty & other human rights organizations?! I wouldn't say so! To begin with, all those detained solely for the exercise of their human rights must be released, NOW! IT'S SHAMEFUL

[Sofia Andersson @SofiaAn46613560]

Authorities in the #UAE continue to attack human rights and freedoms, including targeting human rights advocates, implementing restrictive laws, and utilizing the criminal justice system to eradicate the #humanrights movement. #COP28 @HRW @Amnesty
