@amnesty is appalled by @BBC reportage, including alarming video & photo evidence, on violent pushbacks in Greece & the reported recruitment of migrants as “mercenaries” by Greek officials to carry out these dangerous and illegal operations 🧵https://t.co/GPPIALco59

To solve the climate crisis pushing our planet to the brink, we need to fix the finance flows that are failing the planet.

Sadly, the BBC has now reported that several babies and young children have died on other boats due to push backs. These people need rescue. #Rohingya

[Amnesty International @amnesty]

Rohingya men, women and children on the stranded boats are thought to be without food, water or a working engine. Regional governments must step in and rescue those stranded at sea.

How do we know racism is systemic? This. Right here.

I no longer know whether or not I should be shocked when people in power show us who they really are.

[Dr. Rizwaan Sabir @RizwaanSabir]

Given how central racism & Islamophobia are to US foreign and security policy, this former advisor to the @StateDept and @WhiteHouse named Stuart Seldowitz is totally on message in this disgraceful, Islamophobic tirade targeted at a defenceless food vendor

[OxfamAmerica @OxfamAmerica]

Right now we are facing twin crises when it comes to our planet; a climate crisis & runaway inequality. They are fueled together & driving one another.

Who's responsible? The richest people, huge corporations & wealthy countries.

Indonesia: Hundreds of Rohingya refugees at risk after refused landing https://t.co/b2oO72LOdq

[ABC News Live @ABCNewsLive]

Amnesty International Researcher Budour Hassan says it's "striking" how Gazans are "treated as nameless, faceless."

She adds: "Egypt has to allow a safe passage, especially for the wounded."

@AirCanada I have been trying for literally a week to use the app and online portal to choose seats for an upcoming flight. There's a glitch and I am still unable to!

Y'ALLLLLL!!! This is a HUGE WIN for the rights of people seeking safety. Now, to see if the #EU actually does something about it this time.

[Nicola Delvino @NicolaDelvino]

1/#Lithuania: detention of asylum seekers declared UNCONSTITUTIONAL. We said it last year: automatic detention in 🇱🇹 is arbitrary; 3 days later the EU Court of Justice said it was illegal under EU law. Now it's Lithuania's Constitutional Court's judgment

Sadly, many groups of people from Myanmar continue to be subjected to refoulement by Malaysia.

[Amnesty International Malaysia @AmnestyMy]

2 yrs ago, 22 days after the military coup in Myanmar, the Malaysian gov't deported 1086 people.

2 yrs on, despite ongoing violence, the arrests, detention & deportation persists.

🚨 Stop the arrests, detention & deportation
📢 Ensure access to asylum

Lithuania has also violated EU law - as the CJEU has ruled - and continues to carry out unlawful pushbacks leaving families in the cold.
The "Guardian of the Treaties" should call infringements out, not accept awards for keeping quiet.

[Steve Valdez-Symonds @stevesymondsAI]

Home Secretary affirms her commitment to inflammatory language, notwithstanding hurt it may cause or lead to. Comes as no surprise. She & her ministerial colleagues long ago jettisoned truth, justice & decency in pursuit of political gain at expense of people fleeing persecution.

[Jennifer Foster @JenniferVFoster]

People are still in need of protection, and the UK is in danger of violating obligations to provide that protection by refusing entry and a fair evaluation of people's claims of persecution.

[Jennifer Foster @JenniferVFoster]

Interesting indeed being married to a Kenyan Asian and knowing @SuellaBraverman has misrepresented her past for sympathy....almost as if #refugees are actually DESERVING of protection? 🤔

[Ashfaq Khalfan @ashfaqkhalfan]

@SuellaBraverman responded to @T21Joan Salter, a Holocaust survivor and her account by lying about her own father's experience and claiming that he had been kicked out of Kenya. I'm a Kenyan Asian myself - Asians were not kicked out.

[Jennifer Foster @JenniferVFoster]

Her father was certainly no refugee, he had a right to enter and live in the UK and a passport! You CANNOT be a refugee in a country where you have citizenship. Her response to @T21Joan is despicable - how many lives would have been saved if people had been let in?

[Andrew Connelly @connellyandrew]

Incredible moment where Suella Braverman inadvertently admits the absurdity of the UK asylum system.
