The #UAE has faced criticism from #humanrights organizations regarding its treatment of detainees and fair trial standards. Concerns have been raised about potential rights abuses and transparency in the legal process surrounding alleged terrorism-related cases in the UAE

[Neil Sheridan @NeilSherdy]

#Iran rightly faces scrutiny for its use of the #deathpenalty, w/rights groups expressing concern over fair trials and allegations of torture and forced confessions. Int'l #humanrights organizations have called on Iran to abolish the #capitalpunishment, but more needs to be done

Concerns mount over the Turkish govt's control of digital space ahead of #TurkeyElections2023 runoff. Threats to #freedomofexpression, #onlinecensorship, and fake accounts pose risks to fair elections. Social media platforms must prioritize #humanrights and transparency! @HRW

As a report by #ILGA-Europe reveals, violence against #LGBTQ+ people reached its highest point in the past decade in #Europe and #CentralAsia in 2022. Incidents of violence targeting LGBTQ+ spaces in #Oslo and #Bratislava emphasize the urgent need to combat hate and intolerance.

#LeahSharibu, a symbol of unwavering faith and bravery, continues to be held captive by #ISWAP for refusing to renounce her beliefs. The world cannot forget Leah and the countless others still held captive. #freeLeahSharibu #freedomofbelief @USCIRF

Release of ex-PM #ImranKhan on bail in #Pakistan doesn't overshadow concerns over #excessiveuseofforce, internet shutdowns, and social media restrictions during #protests. Upholding #humanrights is crucial, and such violations are disconcerting!

[Alison Clark @AlisonClark652]

#MEPs highlight #spyware concerns in #Greece where spyware has been used against journalists, politicians, and businesspersons, and exported to countries with poor #humanrights records. The govt should urgently restore and strengthen the institutional and legal safeguards!

[Bea Robertson @BeaRobertson14]

The forcible deportation of #KhalafalRumaithi to the #UAE from #Jordan is deeply concerning! He must be protected from torture and given a fair retrial. Denying access to legal representation for al-Rumaithi raises serious concerns about his rights and the fairness of his case.

#SalahSoltan, the arbitrarily detained father of a #US #humanrights activist, is imprisoned in #Egypt. #humanrights organizations are urging the government to #freeSalahSoltan

Solidarity and collaboration with #LGBTQI+ activists & communities are crucial in advancing equality and protecting #humanrights. Let us unite in diversity under "Together Always", the theme used on World's Day Against #Homophobia, #Biphobia & #Transphobia. #IDAHOBIT

[Justin Andrews @JustinAndrews70]

The execution of Iranian-Swedish national #HabibollahAsivad (#Chaab) raises concerns about due process and fair trials. His alleged role in a 2018 attack should have been thoroughly investigated, but instead, he faced an unfair trial and was denied legal representation! #Iran

[Judy @Judy333797322]

The case of #KhalafalRomaithi, an Emirati dissident, member of the #UAE94, highlights ongoing #humanrights issues in the #UAE. He was detained without due process, deported outside of judicial procedures, and his whereabouts unknown. Urgent action is needed to ensure his safety!

[Heather Hess @HeatherHess89]

A disturbing report from #UNAMA reveals the #Taliban's use of #corporalpunishment including floggings, stonings, and forced head shaving. #Afghanwomenandgirls and even #children are victims. Immediate action is needed to end this brutality! https://t.co/bSp0R4YsqH

[Samantha Roy @Samanth49000358]

Int'l Day Against #Homophobia, #Biphobia & #Transphobia was observed this week, emphasizing the theme "Together Always: United in Diversity." Discrimination & violence targeting #LGBTQI+ communities are increasing, making this year's theme more relevant than ever! #IDAHOBIT

[Kelly Rosewood @RosewoodKelly]

#KhalafalRomaithi, a member of a group of 94 Emirati scholars, lawyers, doctors, #humanrights defenders, #UAE94, was detained while traveling to #Jordan based on a request by the #UAE. He must be immediately protected from torture and given a fair trial!

[Ian Snyder @Snyderian777]

Once again, the #UAE's dark shadow looms over another nation. From #Libya to #Yemen & now #Sudan, their insidious investment in #Hemedti's rise to prominence highlights their disregard for #humanrights and their pursuit of power. #crimesagainsthumanity #SudanConflict #RSF

[Liam Owen @LiamOwen61]

Emirates News Agency announced #KhalafalRumaithi's deportation & arrest, stating that he will face a retrial for his alleged affiliation with an "organization opposing the principles of the #UAE government", a charge that infringes upon #freedomofassociation! #humanrights #UAE94

[Heather Hess @HeatherHess89]

#Spyware is a global threat to #humanrights and #democracy. EU's #PEGA Committee investigates #Pegasus abuses, but faces obstacles and lacks powers. Urgent action is needed to prevent future abuses and protect people! #NSO @EP_PegaInquiry

[Alison Clark @AlisonClark652]

According to #UNAMA, in the past six months alone, 274 men, 58 women, and two boys were publicly flogged in #Afghanistan. The use of #corporalpunishment by the #Taliban is contrary to international law! Int'l community must condemn and intervene! https://t.co/FI1yEz9Pvp

[Zoey Barlowe @ZoeyBarlowe]

The #UAE's Federal Supreme Court sentenced #KhalafalRumaithi to 15 years in prison in July 2013 as part of the controversial #UAE94 case against dissidents, including members of the al-Islah political movement. #humanrights
