Today, we launched our first major report on #Madagascar. Over the past year, I listened to the poorest people who are suffering to survive without a trial in the country's prisons. The most painful testimonies were children's. Watch the video here 👇🏽#AmnestyinMadagascar
This is what extreme overcrowding in Madagascar's prisons looks like. And 50% of those in prison have not even had a trial. In 2017, 52 people died in prison while waiting for a trial. Help us end abusive pre-trial detention in #Madagascar.
🚨 Human rights DELETED from new version of text on Loss and Damage Fund 🚨
Ahead of #TC5, a new text was published by the co-chairs. In this text, #HumanRights are no longer part of the objectives & scope of the #LossAndDamage Fund. This is unacceptable.

"You cant cut food, water, electricity that are vital for the lives of 2.3 million people who have been living in a blockade for 16 years. You cant wipe out entire innocent families, let a health system be destroyed, raze entire districts to the ground"
@HRW's Executive Director
Commençons par le plus wtf. Ce député qui déclare que se priver des jets privés ce serait se priver d'un outil de désenclavement pour nos territoires ruraux".
C'est quoi l'objectif, remplacer les TER par des jets privés ?

Happy Sámi National Day! Norwegian govt must respect Supreme Court which found the license for Fosen wind farms were invalid because they violate Sámi reindeer herding cultural way of life

Brazil airlifts starving Yanomami tribal people from jungle
'The deaths are linked to water pollution caused by mining and logging in the densely forested area, where food insecurity is rife'

From today's briefing: @antonioguterres condemns the killing of Thulani Maseko, a leading human rights lawyer in Eswatini. He calls on all actors to shun violence and encourages them to engage in a meaningful dialogue to reach a lasting solution to the challenges of the country.
A few days after @antonioguterres denounced the continued expansion of fossil fuel production, Colombia announces it will no longer grant new oil and gas exploration licenses 👏✊
This is a 1st and necessary step towards a post-fossil economy. Onwards!

I am extremely disturbed by reports that prominent Eswatini human rights lawyer Thulani Maseko was killed today at his home. A thorough investigation must be undertaken.
I am shocked that the Netherlands would arrest a climate activist on serious charges merely for the act of organizing a protest.
In the face of a climate emergency, non-violent climate activists are heroes, not criminals.
5 years ago, the Canadian Government announced it was creating an ombudsperson with the power to independently investigate allegations of abuse by Canadian companies around the world.
We are still waiting.
People are still being harmed.
😲👀More than 90% of carbon offsets sold by one of the world's biggest providers found to be worthless.
But polluters -inc fossil corp #Shell- use this scam to legitimise pollution-as-usual.

Important thread about the quest for justice of Esther Kiobel and other widows of the "Ogoni 9". A David-against-Goliath fight that symbolizes the extensive damage of the #FossilFuels industry and the difficulty of obtaining justice and remedy from corporations
I condemn the murder of environmental defenders Aly Domínguez and Jairo Bonilla in Honduras last week, and urge authorities to conduct & swift and independent investigation.
The lives & rights of environmental activists must be protected & respected.
Iran is burning mazut, one of the dirtiest fuels, to generate electricity.
This produces massive volumes of toxic air pollution, which poisons millions of people in Iran, violating their human rights, including the right to a healthy environment.
Iran must stop burning mazut!
There are obviously more serious climate impacts than a ruined ski season, but it is emblematic of the #ClimateEmergency and a desperate cry for #ClimateActionNow
