Nu kommer reaktionerna på reportaget från politiker och experter.

– Det är ett extremt viktigt reportage, det borde vara sådana reportage varje dag. Det går inte att överskatta hur viktigt det är att informationen kommer ut. Stater och företag måste påminnas, säger Alice Blondel, kanslichef på människorättsorganisationen Swedwatch.

🚨Over 160 CSOs, trade unions & activists say #NoToOmnibus

We want an EU that leads on the protection of people & planet. Weakening the #CSDDD, #CSRD & #EUTaxonomy is a betrayal of the EU’s commitments.

Push for accountability, not corporate impunity

The sad news has reached us that Iran’s regime has executed Jamshid Sharmahd. My deepest condolences to @GazelleSharmahd . Nobody will ever forget your fight to get your father free. We suffer with you💔
The EU cannot simply just condemn this execution. It is time to act.

After #NYClimateWeek, it’s clear: climate action is being turned into a corporate spectacle. Big tech & carbon offsets dominate, masking the need for real change. Meanwhile, the world’s 60 largest banks have funneled $6.9T into fossil fuels since the Paris Agreement.

#Spotlight: From secret meetings in Tehran to advocate for queer rights, to building solidarity in exile, @asal_abasian’s journey is one of defiance, courage, and hope. In this moving @PENamerica interview, the exiled Iranian journalist reflects on their activism, their struggle for LGBTQI+ visibility, and the harsh reality of censorship in Iran. Now in Paris, Abasian continues to fight for a world where everyone can live and write freely.

Liberia has launched its first National Action Plan on Business and Human Rights. The inclusion of women from communities affected by business activities in the policy is key to ensuring inclusive and fair practices for all.

[Global Witness @Global_Witness]

We've hit a horrible milestone.

Over 2,000 land and #EnvironmentalDefenders have been murdered since 2012.

Many more defenders across the world are also being silenced in other sinister ways.

We must speak out for them.

[Swedwatch @Swedwatch]

New report by @Global_Witness shows that 196 #Defenders were killed in 2023 for protecting the planet, their homes, and their communities.
But their voices cannot be silenced. We must #DefendTheDefenders.

#Day3055 of Ahmadreza Djalali's unjust detention in Iran.

Two years after becoming Swedish Minister of Foreign Affairs, Tobias Billström has announced his resignation. He is ending his political career.

Who will #BringDjalaliHome now?!

[UN Women @UN_Women]

We strongly condemn the murder of Rebecca Cheptegei, the third elite runner to be murdered in Kenya. All suspects were intimate partners of the athletes.

No impunity for perpetrators.
The trend of #femicide must be stopped.

Idag är det ett år sedan rättegången mot #Lundin startade. Ett starkt vittnesmål från en tidigare barnsoldat i Sydsudan belyser de djupa konsekvenserna av företagets agerande i konfliktdrabbade områden.
