1/3…Idag fandt #Storbritanniens HighCourt den britiske aftale om at deportere #asylansøgere til #Rwanda lovlig. Den fandt dog også at de 8 sagsøgere forsøgt deporteret til Rwanda i sommers ikke fik ordentlig sagsbehandling, og returnerede derfor alle sager til #HomeOffice

The final stop should be safety. Always.
Don’t let this government open the Rwanda line

Meget bekymrende hvis danske myndigheder er i færd med at #tvangsudsende en #iransk kvinde til det samme regime, der lige nu slår så voldeligt og #brutalt ned på kvinder for at standse deres #forsamlingsfrihed og #ytringsfrihed. #dkpol @amnestydk

Incredible moment where Suella Braverman inadvertently admits the absurdity of the UK asylum system.

(1/7) It is 2.30 am at #Cairo airport and I was just informed by an Egyptian officer that I am not welcome in the country and they will not let me in.

#COP27 is taking place, the Egyptian Regime opened its doors to the world, but kept some closed.

DIGNITY’s @GioCaracciolo has beeen denied entry into #Egypt to meet human rights defenders during #COP27. Shows Egypt’s systematic repression of civil society. 12 prominent organizations urge Egyptian authorities to address serious human rights concerns👇 https://t.co/z5T7gmZsOL

Did Rwanda come up?

[Together With Refugees 🧡 @RefugeeTogether]

Hey @SuellaBraverman, you dream of sending refugees to Rwanda, but it's a cruel nightmare.

The Rwanda plan flies in the face of human decency. Refugees deserve protection not punishment. Everyone knows it, now you need to scrap it

🚨BREAKING: WE WON!!!

Privilege Style - the airline whose plane was ready to fly to Rwanda in June - has confirmed they WILL NOT fly any refugees to Rwanda!

People power WORKS!
Now let’s defeat this cruel scheme altogether.

Stunning and devastating opening from Newsnight tonight.
Harsh, yes. Media students (and current broadcast journalists!) take note: your edit is nothing without the right choice of music. And oh boy this is quite the choice.

[Rasmus Grue Christensen @rasmusgrue]

Enormt glad for, at #NobelPeacePrize i år uddeles til modige menneskerettighedsforkæmpere fra #Belarus, #Russia og #Ukraine, der dokumenterer internationale forbrydelser, inklusiv @DignityDK’s tætte partner Ales Bialiatski fra @viasna96. Så velfortjent! 👏👍💪🌍🙏❤️

[Cara - the Council for At-Risk Academics @CARA1933]

A fantastic offer to Cara from @EdinburghUni - ten 2-year places, fully funded, open to academics at risk from any country, and on top of what they were already doing for us - https://t.co/HvTS31KSkl. Thank you!

The govt is trying to scrap the Human Rights Act.

The #RightsRemovalBill is the behaviour of a govt trying to put itself above the law.

Whether it’s protection from torture, or the right to education: the Human Rights Act protects us all.

Together we will fight the bill.

[Yasmine Ahmed @YasmineAhmed001]

Today marks a dark day for the UK. After a long fight & one that we’ll cont fighting ✊🏽, the Govt announced it will be rushing through a law to undermine our greatest national treasure, the #HumanRightsAct. And to top it off, has refused proper scrutiny of the proposed new law.
