Remote researching human rights in China is ever more important. Space for Chinese civil society has diminished & access to info has declined. We hope our new toolkit will provide helpful advice & introduce new tools for creatively monitoring human rights https://t.co/aPjn8QZcDK

#LiQiaochu will stand trial tomorrow on the absurd charge of “incitement” for exposing the torture #XuZhiyong and #DingJiaxi faced in detention. She reportedly needs urgent medical treatment. The Chairs call for her unconditional release. More case info @ https://t.co/akQNmzSvf8

1/ Our report argues Taiwan’s pandemic response was more effective in getting public support because it took into account both public health and human rights.

After China’s sudden, and mysterious, change in its COVID-19 policy almost one year ago in response to the "white paper" protests, it’s hard to argue authoritarian states have an advantage in combatting pandemics. My report…

looking at Taiwan’s COVID-19 governance shows that democracies can do better in gaining the trust of their people by being transparent, collaborative and accountable.

Israel’s slow strangulation of the West Bank carries a cost that will be as heavy as Hamas’ brutal attack. We should all be aware of the terrible atrocities committed by both sides. Otherwise we bear responsibility for the consequences of ignoring one side in favor of another.

Please read this interview from The New Yorker with the well-known Israeli nonprofit B’Tselem which documented the Israeli state’s support for forcing Palestinians off their land in the West Bank. https://t.co/k5to24dmlk

[Shawn Shieh 謝世宏 @profshawn]

I interviewed B’Tselem and other human rights organizations - Israeli, Arab and Palestinian - in my mission to Israel in 2018. Their documentation did not capture world attention like the horrible Hamas attack on October 7 but it should.

A year ago today, Taiwan took an important step in opening up by ending quarantine for overseas travelers.  My report👇highlights Taiwan’s achievements and shortcomings from a human rights lens, and the importance of social trust, in combatting COVID-19. @innov4changeEA
