Excellent analysis by the Politico. #France cannot afford any more to keep sweeping these issues under the rug. #protests#minorities https://t.co/uQAYlSl5hN
It's a relief that #protestsinFrance are easing, but the reasons behind this violence still exist. Police profiling and violence, perceived discrimination along #ethnic, #racial, socio-economic lines have long angered #minoritycommunities in France, prevented genuine integration.
This is indeed a historic victory! Shockingly, in #Europe, almost 50% of countries do not criminalise #sexwithoutconsent, although they have all ratified the #IstanbulConvention. Sex without consent is #rape! https://t.co/NJX8Ufq2vD
A decade since the infamous #UAE94 trial, 51 of 69 detainees have served their sentences but remain arbitrarily imprisoned in the #UAE. All #politicalprisoners must be released, officials implicated in torture, unfair trials brought to justice. https://t.co/rVXlF7oHSt
Shameful decision by the #BidenAdministration! All civilized nations have banned production, sale, use of #clustermunitions. Once again, we think that we are exceptional and that, if the #US does it, it's not a war crime?! #Ukraine@banclusterbombs https://t.co/zJXcGJd4kH
354 people, including 6 #women, were executed in #Iran in the first 6 mos of 2023! 20% of all executions were #Baluch#minorities. 206 people were executed for drug-related charges, a 126% rise compared to the same period last year. Break the silence, #EndDeathPenalty! @IHRights
This is outrageous! Futile expressions of concerns, occasional condemnations - and a total impunity for #Israel's repeated violations of international #humanitarian law. #Jenin#Palestine https://t.co/Djsltj0Qb5
It has been 10 years since notorious #UAE94 trial, which targeted 94 Emirati critics of the govt, including activists, lawyers, students and teachers. Those who served their sentences still remain arbitrarily imprisoned. #UAE#COP28 https://t.co/a2xPe6NA0H
#POTUS decision to transfer #clusterbombs to #Ukraine would inevitably cause long-term suffering for civilians, undermine the int'l efforts against #clustermunitions use. The end DOES NOT justify the means, particularly if it is a #warcrime! @HRW https://t.co/nBhpzFIv6l
If you keep avoiding dealing with the problem, it will eventually blow up into your face. And #France is not the only country in Europe that has failed to address adequately its unsuccessful #integration of #minorities. https://t.co/0AiKLTMPJM
#Children as young as 12 have been detained for attacking law enforcement, setting fires, during 6 nights of violence after the fatal police shooting of 17-year-old #NahelMerzouk in suburban Paris. The average age of the 3,354 people arrested over the past week was 17! #France
The execution of three tortured protesters, #MajidKazemi, #SalehMirhashemi, and #SaeedYaghoubi, is a tragic event that highlights the urgent need for a robust response from the international community against the Iranian authorities. #ExecutionsinIran
It's with great sadness and outrage that we condemn the Friday's execution of #SalehMirhashemi, #MajidKazemi & #SaeedYaqoubi in #Iran. Their guilt in the deaths of two #Basij paramilitary members & a law enforcement officer on November 16 was never substantiated.
#SalehMirhashemi#MajidKazemi & #SaeedYaqoubi are another unfortunate victims of the psychopathic #Iranian regime that is abusing its power & continuing to execute more people for taking part in protests. My deepest condolences to their families.
Devastated by the news of three men executed in Iran for their alleged involvement in protests. #SalehMirhashemi#MajidKazemi & #SaeedYaqoubi were all victims of unfair trials, alleged torture, & forced confessions. This brutality must end. #ExecutionsinIran
#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
Heartbreaking news from #Sudan. The lack of accountability for #humanrights violations is deeply concerning. Urgent establishment of an international investigation to bring justice to victims and hold perpetrators accountable is required! . #SudanConflict#humanrights#RSF#UAE
