Close to half of the executions recorded in 2025 were the result of the intensification of highly punitive approaches in the “war on drugs”. Drug-related executions in China, Iran, Kuwait, Saudi Arabia and Singapore contributed to these numbers.

The death penalty has often been used by states as a show of power, and nowhere is this clearer than in the executions connected to drug offences.

However, there are still signs that the tide is changing – in 2025 Viet Nam was one of the countries that took steps away from the death penalty and abolished this cruel punishment for eight offences, including drug transportation.

St Petersburg City Court in Russia has designated the Russian LGBTI Network an “extremist organisation.” This makes the third ruling of this kind within a month, with other LGBTI groups, Coming Out and the LGBT Resource Centre, being given the same "extremist" label last month. This further exacerbates Russia’s persecution of the so-called 'international LGBT movement.’

Russian authorities must immediately stop misusing anti-extremism legislation to repress LGBTI people and reverse all homophobic policies.

🚨Rising harmful online content in Bangladesh, including misinformation & sectarian narratives targeting minority communities could result in serious human rights abuses if left unaddressed. Online harms do not stay online. They are real & cause harm.

Amid rapid expansion of regional hostilities across the Middle East following the ongoing joint United States-Israel attacks on Iran and the subsequent wave of Iranian retaliatory attacks across the region Amnesty International is issuing an urgent call on all parties to protect civilians, adhere to international humanitarian law, in particular by ending unlawful attacks, such as deliberate, indiscriminate or disproportionate attacks on civilians and civilians infrastructures.

As the escalation in the MENA region continues to rise at speed, following the US and Israel attacks on Iran, and Iran’s retaliation, Amnesty reiterates its call for all parties to ensure civilians are protected and the rules of war are adhered to.

Civilians must be protected.

This is yet another disastrous step by President Trump to completely eradicate any semblance of climate regulation in the United States. The Trump administration is acting against the interests of billions across the globe – posing a grave threat to life, livelihoods and wellbeing.

Under international law, the U.S. government is legally obligated to rapidly reduce and phase out fossil fuel emissions. As the climate crisis worsens, the government is responsible for ensuring that our rights to health, food, housing, safe water and to life itself, are protected. This reckless decision by the Trump administration ignores that obligation and puts lives at risk.

Iranian authorities have unleashed an unprecedented deadly crackdown to crush mostly peaceful protests demanding the fall of the Islamic Republic system.

Security forces have used unlawful lethal force leading to mass killings and horrific injuries. Since 8 January, authorities have cut all internet access to conceal their crimes.

Call on the international community to urgently act to end further massacres of protesters in Iran 👇 https://t.co/7c6tWtLbCa

We condemn in the strongest possible terms the shooting and killing of a woman in Minneapolis by a federal agent during immigration enforcement operations today. The Trump administration has taken the life of yet another person through the unnecessary use of lethal force - driven by its cruel, anti-immigrant agenda - and again blatantly lied about the circumstances. The growing presence of ICE, along with militarized crackdowns on protests we have witnessed in recent months, have violated the right to freedom of expression and made our communities unsafe, harming all of us. This killing, as well as all ICE-related custodial deaths, must be thoroughly investigated and those responsible for abuses held accountable. More broadly, the attack on our communities by the Trump administration must stop now.

We welcome reports that Maryia Kalesnikava and Ales Bialiatski are among those have been freed in Belarus. But let’s be clear: these releases don’t erase a system that still holds hundreds if not thousands of others languishing behind bars merely for speaking out.

Marfa Rabkova, Nasta Loika, Valiantsin Stefanovich and countless other prisoners in Belarus who are unjustly jailed on politically motivated grounds must be released.

@Amnesty is gravely concerned about the new large-scale military operation that the Israeli army launched in the North of the occupied West Bank. Similar previous operations have already forcibly displaced thousands of Palestinians from the refugee camps of Jenin, Tulkarem and Nur Shams.

Philippines police unlawfully targeted protesters with unnecessary and excessive force during anti-corruption marches in September, according to testimony gathered by Amnesty ahead of fresh protests planned across the country this weekend.

Filipinos peacefully taking to the streets this weekend have a right to protest against corruption without fear. The police must ensure their safety, not target them with violence.

No one should face discrimination for who they are, or where they find love. Reports that China ordered takedown of gay dating apps could demonstrate a broader pattern of erasing and stigmatizing the LGBTQI community and placing unacceptable limits on freedom of expression.
