Despite the Supreme Court upholding bans on trans athletes’ participation in women and girls’ sports, “we continue to fight,” says Chase Strangio of the American Civil Liberties Union. “But we need people to understand that their freedom is bound up in ours.”

🌍 UATC Three Years of Impact

In a world facing rising conflict, shrinking civil space, and attacks on human rights, collective action has never been more important.

📄Our new Impact Report (2023–2026) highlights how torture cannot be tackled in isolation. Real impact demands a united front. Through joining forces, we can overcome political resistance, funding constraints, and fragmented intervention and build a world free from torture.

📖 Read the new #UnitedAgainstTorture Consortium report to discover the impact we've achieved together—and how you can support our movement ➡️ https://t.co/vL6uNUfOS0

TODAY: The Crime and Policing Act has come into effect, bringing with it more anti-protest laws.

Police must consider "cumulative disruption" of previous protests when restricting a march, regardless of who those protests were organised by or what issue they were about.

📢 International Day in Support of #VictimsOfTorture: survivors & partners of the Torture-Free Trade Network everywhere remind States we urgently need a Torture-Free Trade Treaty on the equipment used to suppress protests and abuse detainees worldwide. https://t.co/3bo1d07CiB

JOINT STATEMENT: Across Kenya, roads have been blocked, peaceful protesters unlawfully arrested, and movement restricted as citizens attempt to honour those who lost their lives during the Gen Z protests.

Memorial processions are not a crime. The Constitution protects the rights to peaceful assembly, expression, and movement. Authorities must immediately end unlawful restrictions, release those arrested, and respect court orders and constitutional freedoms. Read more: https://t.co/QfiUUVHb1O

The normalisation of surveillance ecosystems worldwide must respect human rights, says @Ginitastar @UN_HRC. Pervasive surveillance creates chilling effects, eroding trust, impacting mental health and limiting the work of human rights defenders. #HRC62

1/3 Today, I will present my new report to the UN Human Rights Council. Its message: digital surveillance is silencing activists and civil society worldwide, and it has to stop. 🧵 #UnmaskingSurveillance #HumanRights

🌹With profound sorrow, we join countless mothers and grandmothers around the world in mourning the passing of Lidia “Taty” Almeida.

Her struggle was never only for her own child, but for thousands of victims of enforced disappearance whose names, stories, and futures were taken from them, and for the families who continue to seek truth and justice.

Armed attacks against civic actors in #Kenya must be investigated, and those responsible brought to justice. INCLO members join @thekhrc in demanding accountability. Read our joint statement 👇🏽

A new law in #Canada poses risk of criminalizing peaceful protesters
“Punitive laws that criminalize expression & dissent don’t stop hatred. They hand governments a tool that, time and again, gets turned against the very people they are supposed to help" says INCLO member CCLA ⤵️

[Canadian Civil Liberties Association @cancivlib]

More than 60 civil liberties, human rights, faith based and community organizations just released a statement denouncing the adoption of Bill C-9, the Combatting Hate Act.

4. #AgeVerification: Requiring users to prove their age means collecting biometric or identity data at scale — that data can be breached, misused, or accessed by govts. Child safety is a real concern. Mass surveillance is too. We need solutions that don't trade one for the other.

💻🔎Digital rights experts from 13 countries just met under the INCLO umbrella. The takeaway? Different legal systems, different political contexts — but the exact same threats. 🧵

3. #AI in policing: AI tools are already deciding who gets stopped, flagged, or treated as a risk. These systems are opaque, poorly regulated, and consistently amplify existing discrimination. The pace of deployment is outrunning rights protection.

BREAKING: The Court of Appeal has upheld the proscription of Palestine Action as a terrorist organisation.

This is a disappointing result. We maintain that this is a disproportionate use of counter-terror powers.

🚨 BREAKING🚨

The military court has sentenced four defendants in the acid attack case against Andrie Yunus:

• Defendant 1: 3 years in prison and dismissed from military service.

• Defendant 2: 2 years and 6 months in prison and dismissed from military service.

• Defendant 3: 2 years in prison and remains in military service.

• Defendant 4: 1 year and 6 months in prison and remains in military service.

This military trial was flawed and failed to follow proper procedures. The attack involved more than 16 perpetrators, but only four people were prosecuted and put on trial.

State-hired goons have stormed a meeting where the KHRC and other CSOs were discussing the 2026-2027 budget that was presented yesterday. One of the assailants was arrested and said he was sent by a government official. Some valuables, including a phone, were stolen during the incident.

The civil society held this meeting at All Saints Cathedral in Nairobi to assess how well the budget addressed citizen concerns. We condemn this act of intimidation and assert that it will not deter us from scrutinizing the budget. We will continue to demand that it put the interests of the people at front and center.
