#India: We are concerned by reports of mass detentions of demonstrators, protest leaders, members of civil society organisations, lawyers and journalists, before and during today’s large-scale demonstrations in Delhi.
We call on the authorities to ensure that the right to peaceful assembly is fully respected and fulfilled.

Clothes you no longer wear can help fund child protection online.
@Collection4C donation banks sit in office car parks or reception areas where staff can fill them with unwanted clothing, shoes and textiles. The contents are collected, weighed and turned into income for the IWF - at no cost to the host company.
That income funds our mission to eradicate child sexual abuse online.
If your workplace has space for a donation bank, we will arrange it. Learn more at https://t.co/EhHYqN4WbC.

Let the hostages be freed immediately. Let’s think of the children, of all the children affected by this war, as well as in Ukraine and by other conflicts: this is how their future is being killed. Let us pray that there might be the strength to say, “enough”.
“There is no safe place in Gaza and there is no way out. I am very worried for my colleagues, as I am for all civilians in #Gaza.”
Important statement by @volker_turk
Children in #Gaza have endured heartbreaking trauma, marked by destruction, relentless hostilities, displacement & severe shortages of essential necessities such as food & water.
We call for an immediate ceasefire & for sustained & unimpeded access for humanitarian assistance.
I repeat my call for a humanitarian ceasefire in the Middle East, the unconditional release of all hostages, and the delivery of life-saving supplies at the scale needed.
Everyone must assume their responsibilities.
This is a moment of truth.
History will judge us all.
Welcome Catherine Russell @unicefchief for her first official visit to India.
We look forward to showcasing the progress made by the Govt. of India along with UNICEF to safeguard the rights of children and build a stronger and more inclusive future #ForEveryChild.
In the #Manipur case, one intervenor requests the #SupremeCourt to take cognizance of crimes against women in #WestBengal.
CJI DY Chandrachud replies :
"Undoubtedly there are crimes which are taking place against women across the country- that is our social reality. But here, we are dealing with something which is of unprecedented magnitude, namely crimes and perpetration of violence against women in a situation of communal and sectarian strife. There is no gainsaying the fact that crimes against women are taking place in all parts. The only answer is this. You cannot excuse what is taking place in one part of the country like Manipur on the ground that similar crimes are happening in other parts too. Questions is how do we deal with Manipur. Mention that".
"Are you saying protect all daughters of India or don't protect anyone?", CJI asks the counsel.
