[UNHCR, the UN Refugee Agency @Refugees]

Nelson Mandela's words resonate as strongly today as ever.

Let us honour his legacy of compassion and unparalleled solidarity for the oppressed and persecuted.

Let us make peace and build instead of break down and destroy. #MandelaDay

[Center for Human Rights in Iran @ICHRI]

The arbitrary arrest in Iran of the actor #MohamadSadeghi, while he was criticizing anti-women state policies on social media, is part of the state's campaign to terrorize Iranians into silence and submission.

His "crime" was defending freedom of expression.

Nelson Mandela was a colossus of courage and conviction, whom I had the privilege of meeting several times.

As we commemorate #MandelaDay, let’s honour his legacy by taking action to make our world more peaceful & compassionate.

[António Guterres @antonioguterres]

I deeply regret Russia’s decision to terminate the implementation of the Black Sea Initiative, which has been a lifeline for global food security in a troubled world.

Hundreds of millions facing hunger & consumers confronting a global cost-of-living crisis will pay the price.

[UN Women @UN_Women]

Women can do
Any career.
Any hobby.
Any sport.
Any education path.

Anything!

Ending inequality and fostering respect toward all people is essential for achieving the #GlobalGoals and a more peaceful world for everyone.

[United Nations @UN]

"Racism must be opposed by all means that humanity has at its disposal."

Speaking at UNHQ in 1990, Nelson Mandela encouraged all people to take action to #FightRacism and create a more equal world.

Tuesday is #MandelaDay. https://t.co/g3tnavs79U

“Nelson Mandela was a colossus of courage and conviction.

A leader of immense achievement and extraordinary humanity.

A giant of our times, whose legacy we best honour through action.” – @antonioguterres on the #NelsonMandelaDay

[Al Jazeera English @AJEnglish]

Israeli forces attacked three hospitals during a two-day assault on the Jenin refugee camp, putting the lives of newborn Palestinian babies in incubators at risk ⤵️

[Austin Bloom @BloomAustin]

Since the start of 2023, #Israeli forces have killed at least 170 Palestinians. Fifteen-year-old #AhmedSaqr, who was killed in yesterday's raid on the Jenin refugee camp, was the 26th #Palestinian child victim this year!  #EndIsraeliApartheid https://t.co/P6ca4rHBNo

[Ryan Connolly @RyanConnolly29]

The heinous crime of using #Palestinian #children as #humanshields, repeatedly perpetrated by #Israel in the past, continues unabated in 2023. It represents a flagrant violation of human rights, undermining the principles of dignity, protection, safety that every child deserves.

[Emilie Christensen @EmilieChris2019]

Social media's influence on Turkey's elections must not be underestimated. It has developed into an essential forum for political conversation and public participation. What we saw last month was a valuable lesson learned for the future! #TurkeyElections #SocialMediaImpact

[Austin Bloom @BloomAustin]

Alarming reports about Khalaf Abdul Rahman Abdulla Humaid Al-Romaithi unlawful extradition to the #UAE, where he is to face a new trial, at high risk of ill-treatment in detention. Everyone deserves to have their #rights upheld and have a #fairtrial. #KhalafalRomaithi #Justice

[Austin Bloom @BloomAustin]

Heartbreaking! A three-year-old #Palestinian toddler has died four days after being shot in the head by #Israeli forces. #MohammedTamimi and his father were shot while leaving their home in Nabi Saleh, in the occupied #WestBank. Stop killing #children! #Nomoreimpunity!

[Austin Bloom @BloomAustin]

The fast-tracked trial and sentencing of #protesters through #Iran’s judicial system, the use of torture-tainted ‘confessions’, serious procedural flaws, and a lack of evidence show the Iranian regime's shocking disregard for the #rights to life and fair trial. #ExecutionsinIran

[Austin Bloom @BloomAustin]

Despite continuous attacks on #rights & #freedoms, targeting rights advocates, passing oppressive legislation, utilizing the criminal justice system as a tool for repression, the #UAE will use its #COP28 chairmanship in Dec to portray a false picture of openness and tolerance

[Austin Bloom @BloomAustin]

Concerned about Turkey's growing internet repression, which has eventually had a negative impact on free and fair elections. The right to access to information and online #freedomofspeech must be protected. #InternetFreedom #Democracy @article19.org @HRW

[Austin Bloom @BloomAustin]

#ExecutionsinIran serve as a stark reminder of the urgent need for a criminal justice reform in #Iran. Every person is entitled to a fair trial and protection against brutal punishment. #EndDeathPenalty #humanrights

[Austin Bloom @BloomAustin]

The need for justice & responsibility is highlighted by the prosecution of Iranian ambassador #Assadollah_Assadi, charged of planning a bomb attack that was prevented in #Belgium. Such conduct jeopardizes diplomatic conventions and endangers global security. #Diplomacy #Security
