The silence on #Saudi Arabia is deafening. World leaders must #suspendsaudi from UN Human Rights Council

[Amnesty Gulf @amnestygulf]

This is the face of bravery.
The face of unwavering belief in justice.
The face of a better tomorrow.

@LoujainHathloul our hearts go to you and your family tonight. May you always have the soul of a hero.

DK får snart en ny Udenrigsminister & @anderssamuelsen ser ud til at være ude af politik. Selvom der er meget, jeg ikke har været enig i, vil jeg gerne sige tak for at DK endelig var højlydte i kritikken af #Saudi. Det var på høje tid og noget jeg håber vil være linjen fremover

It’s been 30 years. #Tiananmen crackdown #WeRemember64

“The Chinese government must accept that no amount of suppression will ever erase the horror of the wholesale slaughter that took place in and around Tiananmen Square,” said Roseann Rife of @amnesty

"Det er ubegribeligt, at man kan blive idømt seks års frihedsberøvelse for at udøve sin religiøse frihed," siger Generalsekretær Trine Christensen til nyheden om, at Dennis Christensen i dag ved retten i Rusland fik stadfæstet sin dom.

A year ago @KingSalman appointed #MBS as heir. We hope they will use the occasion to release the brave human rights defenders languishing in #Saudi prisons. One of them is Nassima al-Sada, 38.675 people signed @amnestydk's call for her release. It's time to #FreeSaudiHeroes

My latest for @washingtonpost: "I was told I was the target of threats from Saudi Arabia. This is why." Please read & share. https://t.co/hHVQJz0J6d

#Denmark is the latest country to halt all future arms exports to #Riyadh. But the Nordic country is a tiny arms exporter on the world map when compared with players such as #France, the #UK or the #USA — Saudi Arabia's largest source of arms. https://t.co/1eCNQnVaEJ

All charges against them and against @Saudiwoman & @azizayousef must be dropped! We call on you @KingSalman make today the first & last anniversary of the detention of #Saudi women activists who simply want equality and freedom. It's time to #FreeSaudiHeroes

[Cecilie G. Nielsen @CGN10]

In 2018, @KingSalman lifted the driving ban on women in #SaudiArabia and imprisoned the women activists who worked tirelessly for that to happen. @LoujainHathloul @nasema33 @samarbadawi15 must be immediately released from prison! #StandwithSaudiFeminists https://t.co/cnYNxfScKx

[Amnesty Gulf @amnestygulf]

Today is 15 May. It marks one-year anniversary of the arrest of several prominent #Saudi women activists including @LoujainHathloul, Iman @saudiwoman & @azizayousef. Check the story page and take action to release them from prison: https://t.co/tYkdDFMWWL #StandwithSaudiFeminists

In January 2019, at least 49 people died in events surrounding the protests in Venezuela — all from gunshot wounds. More than 900 were arbitrarily detained. We call for justice on the unprecedented human justice rights crisis in Venezuela. https://t.co/InouMbP9AP

A Saudi ship laden with arms likely destined for the war in Yemen has been bouncing between European ports. Why are they violating local & EU law and the #ArmsTreaty - all of which require them not to authorize such transfers? #BahriYanbu #NoArmsForAtrocities #YemenCantWait

[Cecilie G. Nielsen @CGN10]

NSO group surveillance technologies have been used against many #humanrightsdefenders, including Amnesty. We say enough and support a case to revoke their export licence #righttoprivacy

[Amnesty International @amnesty]

Freedom + Protection
Freedom + Protection
Freedom + Protection

2 things courageous people defending human rights urgently need.

#Breaking: a vulnerability in WhatsApp, used by 1.5 billion people worldwide, enables injection of malicious #surveillance code by #NSOGroup even when users don't answer a call. #Pegasus https://t.co/LiD3RcOKCS 1/3

[Ara @aramarcen]

The voyage of the #BahriYanbu, a Saudi ship laden with arms destined for use in the war in #Yemen, is "a serious test of EU countries’ resolve to uphold #ArmsTreaty obligations. Several states failed this test in the space of just a few days" https://t.co/GjUVqrUenp

[Cecilie G. Nielsen @CGN10]

Dennis Christensen’s appeal has been adjourned until 16 May. We continue to call on @KremlinRussia_E @peskov_official @Genproc do the right thing; respect freedom of religion & free Dennis! As #Putin himself said last year persecuting Jehovah’s Witnesses is a “nonsense”

Here's one thing you can do, Americans. Ask every candidate running for president in 2020 what they plan to do about MBS's crimes should they become president. You can start right now - here on Twitter.

Ela is a veteran activist in Poland. But now she risks prison on ridiculous charges over posters of the Virgin Mary with an LGBTI rainbow halo that were hung by someone in the town of Płock. Ela needs your support. Act now.
