How do we remember the armed conflict and how does that shape justice today?

At our panel “Connecting Movements: Intergenerational Memory” at the 2nd National Memory Conference in Kathmandu (9–10 June), diverse voices came together to reflect on this very question.

Companies are designing gen AI systems by harvesting troves of data & building exploitative supply chains in ways that risk widespread human rights abuses.

@Amnesty's new briefing exposes how unlawful web scraping to train gen AI is driving a mass invasion of privacy by design.

Recurrent and intense heatwaves remind us that the climate crisis is accelerating. Inequality lies at the centre of this global crisis, driven by the burning of fossil fuels. People least responsible face the worst impacts.

A fossil-free future is within reach, but governments must act now and fund solutions.

Finance for climate action is not charity. It is a legal obligation owed to all of us, especially people whose lives and rights are more severely impacted by climate change.

Sri Lanka: A new Amnesty International report finds that Malaiyaha Tamil workers on private tea estates in Southern Sri Lanka are facing labour abuses that may amount to forced labour under International Labour Organization (ILO) standards.

The findings expose not only exploitative labour practices, but systematic failures of enforcement, accountability, and worker protection. Read our report here: https://t.co/qV42WCmT3E

Executions in 2025 soared to the highest figure recorded by Amnesty International since 1981. Iran was the main driver behind the spike, doubling its 2024 figure, a dangerous trend as the authorities used the death penalty to instil fear and punish dissent.

Yesterday, the Israeli Knesset passed with a whopping 93-0 majority, a new law authorizing use of the death penalty for individuals if convicted of involvement in the 7 Oct attacks, just a month after it adopted a discriminatory death penalty law in effect applying exclusively to Palestinians.

The new law mandates the creation of an ad hoc tribunal, effectively acting as a military court, with sweeping powers to deviate from standard procedural rules and evidentiary laws if “deemed necessary”. This is deeply alarming given that proceedings against alleged 7 Oct attackers are already marred by due process violations including prolonged detention without charge or trial, denial of access to lawyers and independent monitors and reports of widespread use of torture and other ill-treatment.

Those responsible for crimes under international law committed on 7 October must be held accountable through fair, independent and transparent trials in line with international law and standards - without resorting to the death penalty.

This law not only entrenches an inherently cruel and irreversible punishment, it erodes fundamental legal safeguards, blatantly breaches Israel’s international obligations and runs counter to the global trend towards the abolition of capital punishment the death penalty.

Afghanistan: Amnesty International is deeply concerned by media reports regarding the arbitrary arrest and enforced disappearance of three Afghan journalists – Mansoor Niazi and Imran Danish, reporters for TOLOnews, and Jawed Niazi, editor of the local Paigard news agency – allegedly carried out by the Taliban’s General Directorate of Intelligence (GDI).

These actions appear to be part of a broader and continued pattern of intimidation and reprisals against journalists and media workers in Afghanistan, in clear violation of the country’s obligations under international human rights law. The arbitrary deprivation of liberty and enforced disappearance raise serious concerns about the safety and well-being of those detained, including the risk of torture and other ill-treatment.

The Taliban de facto authorities must immediately disclose the fate and whereabouts of Mansoor Niazi, Imran Danish and Jawed Niazi, ensure their access to legal representation and family members, and release them unless they are charged with a recognizable criminal offense in proceedings that meet international fair trial standards.

Governments scapegoat the vulnerable, they silence protest with violence and label the most at risk as threats.

We won’t let this continue. Together, we can ensure humanity is protected -- not punished.
