@IntCricketC AGM starts today: Afghanistan women's cricket team - in exile since 2021, still unrecognised, their funding due to expire in August. FIFA found a way for Afghan women footballers. Cricket can too. Recognition & sustained support- nothing less. #AfghanWomensCricket
I endorse this statement by @volker_turk regretting a new EU regulation allowing speedy deportations. Respect for human rights and refugee law is imperative. #Afghans must not be returned to an unsafe situation. A meeting with Taliban in Brussels would insult #Afghans esp. women.

#Bangladesh: @UNHumanRights team finds serious violations & abuses during last year's protests.
Additional investigations are warranted to determine the extent they may also amount to crimes against humanity.
