Hundreds of civilians have been killed in Sudan’s Darfur region in recent weeks.

These attacks have brought aid operations to a standstill, worsening an already dire humanitarian crisis.

The police killing of a teenager of North African descent in a traffic stop in France this week has sparked days of unrest and reignited discussion over police violence and accountability.

Two decades of #enforceddisappearance, #arbitrarydetention, #torture, other #rights violations, not a single fair trial. #Guantanamo will forever remain a huge stain on the #US rights record. It is well past time to close if once and for all @Amnesty https://t.co/DBwnHZeDQS

Not only are #Nigeria's “#blasphemy” laws in clear breach of international human #rights obligations, they are also contrary to the Nigerian Constitution, which guarantees #religiousfreedom and #freedomofexpression. Free #MubarakBala and #YahayaSharifAminu!

From severe beatings to sexual humiliation, rape, fake executions, abuse of family members, #torture is used as a means of war in more than 100 armed conflicts raging worldwide. It's truly shocking what horror human beings are capable of inflicting on one another! @UN

A disconcerting attempt by the authorities in #Iran to intensify the control and punishment imposed on #women who defy the compulsory hijab by the proposed "Chastity and Hijab" bill, sustaining further a climate of oppression and limitation on personal #freedom. @ICHRI

The end DOES NOT justify the means! End the suffering and harm caused by these indiscriminate weapons! #clustermunitions @noclusterbombs https://t.co/Qm1CViGttm

#Torture is a widespread practice across the #MENA, partly because of a lack of accountability for perpetrators and the abuse of supposed counterterrorism tactics as a pretext for torture. #victimsoftorture #InternationalDayAgainstTorture @ALQST_eng https://t.co/6aGI3FJAD1

Concerns arise as #UAE, a major oil producer, assumes #COP28 presidency while suppressing freedoms. 42 organizations shed light on unjust detentions and restrictions on #freedomofexpression. Upholding #humanrights is crucial for a meaningful progress!

[Judy @Judy333797322]

A controversial #prisonerswap between #Belgium and #Iran, facilitated by #Oman, sparks strong reactions. While relieved by #OlivierVandecasteele's release, concerns arise over the reinforcement of #Iran's #hostagediplomacy! https://t.co/3V9EgOu41M

A staggering 315,000 grave violations against #children in over 30 conflicts took place between 2005 and 2022, UNICEF reported today, describing it as a “stark illustration of the devastating impact of war” on the young. A depressing picture of our civilization! #childrenrights

[Ryan Connolly @RyanConnolly29]

The heinous crime of using #Palestinian #children as #humanshields, repeatedly perpetrated by #Israel in the past, continues unabated in 2023. It represents a flagrant violation of human rights, undermining the principles of dignity, protection, safety that every child deserves.

[Mitch Eisenberg @MitchEisenberg7]

The Pakistani govt’s decision to try civilian participants in the #protests under the #Pakistan Army Act 1952 is disconcerting. While those responsible for the destruction of public & private property must be held accountable, there are adequate civilian law provisions for this.

[Austin Bloom @BloomAustin]

Heartbreaking! A three-year-old #Palestinian toddler has died four days after being shot in the head by #Israeli forces. #MohammedTamimi and his father were shot while leaving their home in Nabi Saleh, in the occupied #WestBank. Stop killing #children! #Nomoreimpunity!

[Dennis Sanford @dennissanford02]

Protesters #SalehMirhashemi #MajidKazemi and #SaeedYaqoubi, accused of allegedly killing 2 members of the #Basij paramilitary officer are the most recent victims of #executionsinIran These executions raise serious concerns about the use of #capitalpunishment in the country.

[Judy Fox @JudyFox67974065]

No freedom, no education, no rights, no job, must have a mahram, must wear a burqa, forced marriage, torture, arbitrary detention, corporal punishment, public flogging - this is more than enough to define #crimeagainsthumanity and #genderpersecution. SAVE #Afghanwomenandgirls !

[Erica Simons @EricaSimons7]

The tragic death of #OmarMohammadAwadin in #Jenin exposes the alarming escalation of violence in the #WestBank. Daytime operations, excessive force, and potential extrajudicial executions cannot be justified. The international community must act to protect innocent lives! #Israel

[Alison Clark @AlisonClark652]

Shocking reports reveal that #Israeliforces consistently use #Palestinian children as #humanshields, violating international law! This is a grave violation of their rights and a #warcrime. Immediate action must be taken to hold those responsible accountable! #OPT #Israel

[Alison Clark @AlisonClark652]

The #Taliban's crackdown on #womensrights activists and protestors in #Afghanistan is alarming. Their use of intimidation, detention & violence is unacceptable. We must ensure the protection of those fighting for #genderequality and #justice. The world must not turn a blind eye!

[Austin Bloom @BloomAustin]

The fast-tracked trial and sentencing of #protesters through #Iran’s judicial system, the use of torture-tainted ‘confessions’, serious procedural flaws, and a lack of evidence show the Iranian regime's shocking disregard for the #rights to life and fair trial. #ExecutionsinIran
