X has become an arena of hate and disinformation. Twitter, as we knew it, no longer exists. That's why we, as a human rights organisation, have decided to stop posting on X. But fear not! Follow nhcno on #Bluesky where we continue fighting for human rights and democracy

The NHC condemns the violence against peaceful protesters in #Georgia. Perpetrators must be investigated, senior leaders of the Government and security forces sanctioned, and new and free elections held with international assistance. #GeorgiaProtests 📸Vladimir Romenskiy

We call on authorities in Kyrgyzstan to release defense lawyer Samat Matsakov who was detained by the security services on Nov 29. His detention appears as retaliation for defending persecuted government critics, and an attack on the legal profession. https://t.co/7yOnebR5Zv

Corruption is one of the most repeated allegations about #Ukraine. This picture is outdated. Ukraine's digital systems for monitoring authorities and politicians are far ahead of what we see in #Norway and many #EU countries. #Itera @DN_no (NORW)

#Türkiye’s proposed ‘agents of influence’ law threatens #civilsociety, #pressfreedom, and fundamental rights.
Our grantee @AyhedD warns this bill will curb freedoms critical to a democratic society. We call on the parliament of Türkiye to withdraw this law.

@bjornbert @lenewett @SVparti @ingridfiskaa Helsingforskomiteen har bedt om en tredobling av støtten til Ukraina i 2025. Slik vi har forstått det behandles Nansen-programmet separat.

We expect the new #USPresident to stand firm in the support of #Ukraine when he takes office. Trump must also put pressure on their ally Israel to end the suffering of civilians in #Gaza. We can not lose hope in the protection of human rights! #USElection2024
