The UK Govt's Northern Ireland Troubles Bill is an appalling piece of legislation which would permanently deny truth, justice & accountability to victims of the NI conflict.

Join our call to PM @RishiSunak to scrap the Bill 📣

BREAKING!

In the trial of the Seán Binder and 23 humanitarians today in Greece, the prosecutor recommends the charges be dropped for lack of translation!

This is a crucial step towards dropping all charges, including felonies, and towards justice.

We can only imagine how awful it must be for women in Aghanistan 😢

[Amnesty International @amnesty]

Women's rights are human rights.

The international community must not ignore the plight of women and girls in Afghanistan.

Have your voice heard

Let refugees in Ireland know that we welcome and admire them, we know it's their right to seek asylum, and protesters outside their accommodation do not represent you

[IntComDyn @dyn_int]

Our Video campaign has kicked off. Please add yours,tag @dyn_int and hashtag #RefugeesWelcome #EndHate (HORIZONTAL, 30 SECONDS)

Thanks, @StevieGrainger

We have a problem.

A small but real racist social movement has emerged in Ireland.

I've written this article to outline the dangers as I see them and what I think anti-racists and anti-fascists could do to respond.

Israeli authorities are growing increasingly ruthless in their attempts to silence Palestinian voices. This latest step is an audacious attack on the rights to nationality, freedom of expression and freedom of peaceful assembly #EndIsraeliApartheid

[Amnesty Ireland @AmnestyIreland]

Mohammad Ghobadlou, 22, has been sentenced to death after his involvement in the ongoing protests. His trial was a sham, relying on torture-tainted “confessions.”

Iran must halt all executions of people sentenced to death in relation to the protests.

We should explicitly recognize that when governments tell women where they can go, whom they can or must go with, what they must wear, and whether they can be pregnant or not, those are signs of authoritarianism.

What happened in Killarney was terrible, but not unexpected. Put a load of people in cramped rooms on top of each other in a hotel for months and sometimes years... what did you think would happen.... #EndDirectProvision

The right to education is a fundamental human right, which the Taliban – as the de facto authorities of #Afghanistan – are duty-bound to uphold.

The latest decision to close universities for women must be immediately reversed.

[Amnesty Ireland @AmnestyIreland]

3 women in Zimbabwe abducted and beaten for protesting. An 80-year-old woman killed by a tear gas grenade in her own home. Protests around the world are increasingly being met with violence by state authorities.

Join us, write for their rights!

Seán Binder, from Cork, is facing trial next week in Greece for trying to save the lives of refugees crossing the Aegean sea.

Search and rescue is not a crime. Greece must drop the charges.

With what seems like an endless cycle of bad news in the media, it can be easy to overlook the good stories.

Thankfully, amid the gloom, there were moments of progress and hope to celebrate this year.

Here are some human rights wins in 2022: https://t.co/pANADj4i5N 🥳

[Filippo Grandi @FilippoGrandi]

Forbidding women from working with NGOs in Afghanistan deprives them of a basic right, and millions of Afghans of vital support. I join other humanitarian leaders in asking the Taliban to reverse this decision.

JAILED FOR REMEMBERING VICTIMS OF DEADLY CRACKDOWN.

Chow was arrested for commemorating protesters killed in the 1989 Tiananmen crackdown. She's now serving 22 months in prison for her activism. Join us and ask Hong Kong to free Chow.

The United Kingdom’s High Court has given the green light to the government to expel asylum seekers to Rwanda. But Rwanda is not a “safe third country” to transfer asylum seekers to.

[Amnesty International @amnesty]

A reminder.

[Amnesty Iran @AmnestyIran]

At least 28 people could face execution in Iran in connection with the popular uprising. Among them is dissident rapper Toomaj Salehi who is facing trial in Esfahan in connection with his music and social media posts.
