5 years ago today, brave environmentalist Berta Cáceres was murdered in her home in Honduras. Real justice means prosecuting not just the perpetrators but those who ordered the killing. @Presidencia_HN @JuanOrlandoH @sedhHonduras @Copinh #JusticeForBerta #Honduras #Amnesty

This is terrible news - criminalizing standing up for human rights

[Amnesty International @amnesty]

Today, we have borne witness to a travesty of justice of spectacular proportions. This verdict is a crushing blow not only for Taner, Özlem, İdil and Günal and their families but for everyone who believes in justice, and human rights activism. https://t.co/92d2Wb2PYt

This beautiful poem, 'Trees of Home' by Sita Brahmachari & illustrated by Axel Scheffler, speaks to the heartbreak of family separation. Even after #lockdown many refugee families will be apart due to unfair UK rules. @ukhomeoffice must bring #FamiliesTogether #refugeeweek2020
