US State Department spokesperson Ned Price has said Washington is “extremely concerned” by the continuing violence, following the recent raid by Israeli troops in Nablus

Last year, aid agencies helped nearly 11 million people across #Yemen every month. 

We cannot stop now. 

On 27 Feb, the international community must come together again to support the people of Yemen.

Arrested by Islamic Republic agents on December 26, Amir Abbasi, former editor-in-chief of Salam-e-Now newspaper, remains in detention in Evin Prison against the law, reports the Committee Following the Status of Detainees.

Dozens of journalists and editors have been arbitrarily detained for doing their jobs in Iran in the past five months. #امیر_عباسی #IranRevolution

#AlaaAbdelFattah is the most famous face among thousands of #politicalprisoners who are regularly abused and tortured by #Egyptian prison authorities and security forces. #freeAlaa #prisonersofconscience

The international community must treat #humanrights globally in a fair and equal manner, on the same footing, and with the same emphasis! #EndYemenWar #womensrights

#SaudiArabia is attempting to infiltrate online platforms to control the #information that is posted about the Kingdom and its leaders. Many of these schemes have been exposed recently, such as on #Wikipedia and #Twitter. #humanrights

[Maria Cooper @MariaCo46285889]

#SaudiArabia tightens ties w/#FIFA! #KSA, of course, is a global outlier on #humanrights—and especially #womensrights. However, this summer’s #WomensWorldCup in Australia and New Zealand will be sponsored by the KSA tourist authority! SHAMEFUL! #FIFAMustPay

[Ava Dawson @DawsAva]

#FIFA should have thought twice about awarding the hosting of this year's #ClubWorldCup to #SaudiArabia. Saudi Arabia has been #sportswashing #humanrights abuses for years, @FIFA is now complicit in this. This was a chance to finally do something right. #FIFAMustPay

On February 6, 2023, #HassanalRabea was extradited from #Morocco despite repeated civil society calls for his release and non-extradition to #SaudiArabia, where he faces credible risks of persecution and other serious harm! @ALQST_ORG @DAWNmenaorg

[Bob Beckman @BobBeckman94]

#SaudiArabia has a long and infamous record of cracking down on #humanrights defenders, journalists and members of civil society, and their targets now include ‘ordinary’ members of the public, who are peacefully exercising their #right to #freedomofspeech online!

[Robert Sterling @RobSterling80]

#SaudiArabia's sponsorship of the 2023 #WomensWorldCup has sparked a debate about the role of sports in advancing #humanrights. #VisitSaudi campaign legitimizes a regime that has a poor record on #womensrights & human rights. #FIFA must stop these #sportswashing practices.

[Mitch Eisenberg @MitchEisenberg7]

Last year, and especially from mid-2022 onwards, the #SaudiArabia courts handed down some of the most draconian sentences ever passed on peaceful activists in the Kingdom, marking a new low for #humanrights in the country, signalling a new phase of repression. @ALQST_ORG

[Patrick Moore @moorepatrick283]

#US diplomats and officials have traveled to the #MiddleEast, including Jerusalem, in the past few weeks in hopes of defusing recent violence between #Israel and #Palestine. This visit from the US dignitaries will likely fall flat and is just for show... #humanrights

[Jill Harrison @JillHarrison75]

For years, #LGBT people have been putting up with street-level harassment, arrests & crackdowns across #MENA region. These problems have transgressed to online targeting, which costs many of them arbitrary arrests, illegitimate trials and imprisonment. #socialmedia #humanrights

[Heather Hess @HeatherHess89]

#SaudiArabia’s tourist authority is to sponsor football’s #WomensWorldCup in Australia and New Zealand this year. #Humanrights activists are calling this #FIFA's decision a "textbook case of #sportswashing." #womensrights

[Erica Simons @EricaSimons7]

#SaudiArabia must stop putting people in jail for expressing their opinion online! #SalmaalShehab is one of many victims of #SA's brutal regime. She has been sentenced to 34 years based solely on her Twitter activity. It's time to put an end to this! #freespeech #humanrights

[Lucy Cook @LucyCoo60431125]

With a suspected murderer in charge, what to expect from #SaudiArabia but #arbitraryarrests, #enforceddisappearances, targeting? All of these ferocious acts lead to country's biggest problem - #deathpenalty. Saudis need protection, not int'l support for #MBS.

[Lauren Young @LaurenYoung2021]

#HumanRights Watch documented 45 cases of arbitrary arrest involving 40 #LGBT people targeted online in #Egypt, #Jordan, #Lebanon, and #Tunisia. @HRW #socialmedia

[Philip Lance @PhilipLance94]

#Arbitraryarrests, #enforceddisappearances and jail sentences of unprecedented severity for peaceful, legitimate activity on social media increasingly haunt the people of #SaudiArabia. The #humanrights are still dwindling, and the world doesn't seem to care...

[Floke Blosser @BlosserFloke]

Another attempt to create a #humanrights respecting PR reality in the #UAE, this time by using a #fakesciencefactory. A #predatorypublisher #WASET organizing a pseudo-academic conference on human rights in Dubai, Feb 15-16! I wish they invested as much effort in the real issue.
