Fort Sill in Oklahoma was used to unjustly detain Japanese-Americans during World War Two.

Now it will be used to detain immigrant children. This says quite a bit. https://t.co/oVov9deZsf

Human rights defenders need freedom and protection.

NSO Group’s Pegasus software is being used by governments committing human rights abuses to surveil and target activists using WhatsApp and SMS. We’re supporting legal action to shut down the export of this dangerous tool.
