#UK Government’s decision to label ‘Palestine Action’ a terrorist group raises serious concerns that counter-terrorism legislation is being applied to a group that is not terrorist in nature & risks hindering the legitimate exercise of fundamental freedoms.
The decision could lead to further chilling effect on the lawful exercise of these rights by many people - @volker_turk

The #UAE detains over 50 political prisoners beyond their sentences, violating international law.
Many are held incommunicado, denied family contact, and subjected to torture. This is state-sanctioned abuse. #UAE#HumanRightsViolations

Dozens of Scottish journalists have turned out for a press call for Nigel Farage that was supposed to begin at 14:00
It is now 14:52, and we are hearing nothing from Reform UK
#UnitedStates🇺🇸 #UnitedKingdom🇬🇧 The case of Julian Assange has taken a critical turn in the UK and the US, with significant implications for global media freedom. Assange's possible extradition to the US and subsequent prosecution could set a precedent for journalists and whistleblowers around the world, challenging the very foundations of freedom of expression and press freedom. #IHRF #HumanRights #PressFreedom #JulianAssange #FreeAssange #FreeAssangeNOW @Stella_Assange@wikileaks
Terrifying scenes tonight in Deir Al Balah, central Gaza 🇵🇸 after an Israeli air strike.
Pro Palestine journalists are being arrested in the UK 🇬🇧 while the Government sells arms to Israel🇮🇱
On the wrong side of history.
Simply disgusting.

"Being young, poor, male, and tattooed in Bukele’s El Salvador can practically be a life sentence." "Once an inmate enters” El Salvador's mega-prison, its director says, “he never leaves.” "So far he seems to have kept his word."

In the #UAE, a land of fake glitter, "porta potty parties" unveil a grotesque truth. I spoke to a friend of Maria Kovalchuk, a Ukrainian model lured by promises, now broken—her spine shattered—while Dubai’s elite laugh in their filth. @carleygarner

The #UK government should impose sanctions on key figures in the #Egyptian government in response to its refusal to release the British-Egyptian #humanrights activist Alaa Abd el-Fattah, Labour’s most prominent human rights lawyer has proposed.

This is just next level. Game of Thrones actor Liam Cunningham reveals he is going to “break the siege in Gaza” with Greta Thunberg and 10 other activists.
Israel going crazy right now
Greta Thunberg and a handful of other privileged activists are sailing to Gaza on a tiny boat to “deliver aid.”
At best, they’ve got enough supplies for maybe a dozen people. It’s not humanitarian—it’s the most pathetic, performative stunt imaginable.
BREAKING:
Greta Thunberg is on a dangerous mission to Gaza to BREAK the Israeli blockade on Gaza.
The last time she tried Netanyahu BOMBED her boat.
Respect, Greta, and best of luck 🫡

As Mexico undermines the judiciary as a check on the executive branch by subjecting it to popular vote, a mere 13% of voters turn out — far below the 60+% for presidential elections, and lower than any other federal vote in Mexico’s democratic history. https://t.co/3QNPPq9UsZ
Last night @UNHumanRights & @DeepakChopra came together for shared reflection. On #WorldMeditationDay, we’ll launch The Universality of Meditation - a landmark report highlighting its role in fostering compassion, dignity & human rights.
Young men who enter El Salvador's megaprison "are held almost entirely incommunicado, cut off from family or lawyers, and 'only appear before courts in online hearings, often in groups of several hundred detainees at the same time'” without being released. https://t.co/PjE02rjjOX
