Even in defending itself from the charge of genocide against the Rohingya, the Myanmar military and its counsel still refuse to call the victims "Rohingya." Such utter contempt for the victims of its murder, rape, arson, and forced displacement. https://t.co/zKdbDh4tg9
The Myanmar junta has discovered that very few governments want to embrace a military that has gained power by crushing a people's hopes for democracy and shooting and detaining protesters who object. https://t.co/zKdbDh4tg9
The genocide case against the Myanmar military before the International Court of Justice is about not just assessing past atrocities against Rohingya Muslims but also protecting Rohingya who remain in Myanmar. Hence the plea for no more "delaying tactics." https://t.co/CtLJsm6NFV
"As antiwar protests continued across Russia, the police detained at least 411 people in 13 cities on Monday," says the monitoring group OVD-Info. There have been "at least 6,435 detentions in Russia since the invasion of Ukraine on Feb. 24." https://t.co/fvV7ZDP9Ki

Unfounded claims denying grave human rights violations are an affront to the victims. Yet a current proposal under discussion in Chile's Constituent Assembly to ban false claims is wrong-headed. A better answer is to debunk them with accurate information.

A US court rightfully rules that the government cannot use public health as a reason to send asylum seekers to countries where they face persecution. https://t.co/HFtZQW0tHU All the more so since testing and short-term quarantine would suffice to provide protection from Covid-19.
The UN Commission of Inquiry can also scrutinize the Kremlin's repression in Russia as a "root cause" and part of "the context of" the Ukraine invasion. Defending civic space for Russians to protest is a key way to rein in Putin's abuses in Ukraine. https://t.co/Qgi7JhBI5P
