The cancellation of RightsCon raises serious concerns about the shrinking space for civil society and global dialogue.
Strongly condemn the actions by the Zambian government that have led to this outcome and standing in solidarity with #AccessNow.

[Miraj Chowdhury @mirajsays]

A global rights conference cannot happen where voices are filtered; and requiring disclosure of topics to ensure “alignment with national values” risks turning it into a curated space. This goes against the very spirit of what such convenings stand for.

Fact-check: Viral claims of Jamaat leaders losing 53 seats by narrow margins in the election are wrong.

Analysis by @dismislab:

📊 Only 22 seats had margins <5,000 votes
⚖️ Jamaat & allies actually won 11 (BNP allies won 9).
