Despite continuous attacks on #rights & #freedoms, targeting rights advocates, passing oppressive legislation, utilizing the criminal justice system as a tool for repression, the #UAE will use its #COP28 chairmanship in Dec to portray a false picture of openness and tolerance

The recent exchange between #Iran & #Belgium involving diplomat #Assadollah_Assadi & #OlivierVandecasteele, has sparked int'l attention. It is not quite fair to exchange a convicted terrorist for an innocent aid worker who was in #arbitrarydetention. #hostagediplomacy #Oman

[Allen Lewis @AllenLewis90]

Based on the 3D reconstruction of the Mar 16 shooting in #Jenin, it's clear that Israeli troops killed a 14-yr-old #Palestinian boy who was just riding a bike in front of his home. STOP IMPUNITY for #Israeli soldiers who have committed #crimesagainsthumanity #OmarMohammadAwadin

[Alison Clark @AlisonClark652]

The #Taliban's crackdown on #womensrights activists and protestors in #Afghanistan is alarming. Their use of intimidation, detention & violence is unacceptable. We must ensure the protection of those fighting for #genderequality and #justice. The world must not turn a blind eye!

[Lauren Young @LaurenYoung2021]

On May 26, #Belgium and #Iran carried out a prisoner exchange in #Oman. #Tehran released Belgian aid worker #OlivierVandecasteele in exchange for Iranian diplomat #Assadollah_Assadi convicted of attempting to bomb a meeting of exiles in #France. Not really a fair quid pro quo.

#MohamedFaizBalhan, 15 , was shot dead when Israeli forces raided the Aqbat Jabr refugee camp near the city to make arrests. #Israel must stop killing Palestinian children, bring the perpetrators to justice! #Palestine

[Sofia Andersson @SofiaAn46613560]

A #Belgian court sentenced an #Iranian diplomat, #AssadolahAssadi, to 20 years in prison for planning a terrorist attack on Iranian dissidents in France. This case was the first time that a representative of a country faced charges of terrorism in Europe, which sets a precedent

The Sudanese war has broad global ramifications and involves numerous stakeholders. In order to clarify the situation and work toward a long-term solution, the #HumanRightsCouncil must immediately launch an international investigation. #SudanConflict #humanrights #RSF

[Ryan Connolly @RyanConnolly29]

The heinous crime of using #Palestinian #children as #humanshields, repeatedly perpetrated by #Israel in the past, continues unabated in 2023. It represents a flagrant violation of human rights, undermining the principles of dignity, protection, safety that every child deserves.

Protesters #SalehMirhashemi #MajidKazemi and #SaeedYaqoubi, accused of allegedly killing 2 members of the #Basij paramilitary officer are the most recent victims of #executionsinIran These executions raise serious concerns about the use of #capitalpunishment in the country.

The #UN Secretary General calls on global leaders to protect the rights of #LGBTKI+ people on the International Day Against Homophobia, #Biphobia and #Transphobia https://t.co/mT0UxrSL3h

[Odin Pugh @PughOdin]

The reports of three INNOCENT men, #SalehMirhashemi #MajidKazemi and #SaeedYaqoubi, being executed for allegedly killing 2 members of the #Basij paramilitary officer fill me with rage! The int'l community's response thus far has been woefully inadequate. #ExecutionsinIran #Iran

[Odin Pugh @PughOdin]

The exchange of #Assadollah_Assadi, convicted of terrorism, for an aid worker, highlights the need to remain vigilant and cooperate in addressing #hostagediplomacy, ensuring that diplomatic immunity is not exploited for criminal purposes. #Oman #Belgium #Iran #arbitrarydetention

[Amy Newsome @AmyNews41550577]

The Taliban's crackdown on #women & girls' rights in #Afghanistan must be investigated as possible crimes under international law. #Genderpersecution is a grave violation that warrants urgent attention. @Amnesty @ICJ_org #Afghangirls #Afghanwomen

[Amy Newsome @AmyNews41550577]

The #Israeli-#Palestinian conflict continues to inflict immense suffering on innocent civilians. The use of #children as human shields is a heinous crime & a grave violation of #humanrights. Protection of civilians, especially children, must be an absolute priority to both sides.

[Emilie Christensen @EmilieChris2019]

#MuhammadHaithamalTamimi, a 3-yr-old #Palestinian toddler who was shot in head in the #WestBank by the #Israeli troops 3 days ago, has died. His little body could not fight any more. This is so heartbreaking! #justiceforMuhammad https://t.co/meAaJ9It0r

[Bob Beckman @BobBeckman94]

#Arab countries, spearheaded by the #UAE, have rushed to normalize ties with #Assad’s government without demanding accountability for the grave abuses committed over the last 12 years! With the likely participation in the #COP28, he will be rehabilitated further. #humanrights

[Melanie Lawrence @Melanie20868690]

#OliverVandecasteele was sentenced to 28 yrs in prison by the #Iran judiciary for "#espionage," a charge Brussels called "fabricated." Now, he is free! However, #Assadollah_Assadi, a real criminal, is now free, too, in return for this release! #hostagediplomacy #Belgium

[Olivia Willems @OliviaWillems2]

Thankfully, after 15 months #OlivierVandecasteele is a free man. But, how? #Belgium & #Iran have swapped prisoners in an exchange mediated by #Oman. This will embolden the religious fascism ruling Iran to continue its crimes. #Assadollah_Assadi should not have been set free!

No more silence! The essential tenets of a #freesociety are under threat from the #spywaresurveillance of #journalists. Governments must move quickly to defend #pressfreedom, protect journalists' privacy, and provide a secure environment for the fourth estate to flourish.
