I don’t need to tell Law Twitter about Niren Tolsi. Always brilliant. Niren doesn’t just write on law. He writes on arts, on social justice. I even read about cricket once because he wrote about it. Now he needs cancer treatment. Let’s support him so he can keep on writing.

When our producer Tarryn Crossman approached staff to find out why there's no one looking after over 200 disabled children at Ikwezi Lokusa, we were told staff refuse to work one minute longer than their set shifts because they're not receiving overtime. Meanwhile, the children are left on their own for at least an hour each day. #CarteBlanche @govanwhittles

Today, Chinese citizen journalist Zhang Zhan is spending her birthday in jail, her partial hunger strike having resulted in the severe deterioration of her health.

We stand in solidarity with Zhang and continue to call for her immediate release.

PRESS STATEMENT: Johannesburg Fire. At Lawyers for Human Rights, we solemnly pause to remember the lives of over 70 individuals tragically lost. We extend our profound condolences to their bereaved families.

[@AmnestySAfrica @AmnestySAfrica]

It's concerning that @CityofJoburgZA officials are trying to shift blame for the #JHBFire onto NGOs, who are trying to ensure that people’s human rights are upheld. This is not the time to point fingers, but time to ensure that this doesn’t happen again.

"The highest form of love is consideration. When someone thinks about how things would make you feel. Pays attention to detail. Holds you in regard when making decisions that could affect you. In any bond, how much they care about you can be found in how much they consider you.”
