🚨 BREAKING: This Government's cruel Rwanda Bill has just passed

Today will forever leave a stain on the UK’s moral reputation.

The UK has an obligation to provide safety to refugees. It's now vital that flights to Rwanda do not leave the tarmac.

The passage of the cruel immigration bill marks an extremely bleak day for human rights in the UK.

The UK government is sacrificing the rights and safety of vulnerable individuals for political gain.

The bill is a cold-hearted attack on human rights.

The cruel, unworkable #IllegalMigrationBill returns to the House of Commons today

We've joined with 60+ orgs to reject the proposed legislation in its entirety

We're calling on Parliament to #StopTheBill to save lives and protect everyone's rights 👉https://t.co/cct8B31Nkz

HUGE relief - the @GovUK have officially scrapped the Rights Removal Bill 🎉

The bill would have ripped up our Human Rights Act - a blatant power grab to give people in power MORE power.

Yet, there's still work to be done. 🚨 The fight is not over.

I wanted to share some of my thoughts on today's Supreme Court decision on affirmative action:

[Amnesty UK @AmnestyUK]

📢 BREAKING: Court of Appeal rules plan to send asylum seekers to Rwanda is UNLAWFUL

This judgment is welcomed, but it can’t undo the suffering, harm & expense already caused by the Govt. Ministers should stop playing politics with people's lives.

[Freedom from Torture🧡 @FreefromTorture]

Today's judgement is a HUGE WIN for human rights and compassion.

We know there's MANY more of us that believe in compassion and kindness. And if this Government thinks we're giving in - they've got another thing coming

[Shelly M @ShellyAsquith]

Outrageous scenes of cops arresting anti-monarchy protestors and stealing their placards

So we are not allowed to show public opposition to a bloke being crowned head of state for having been born into unimaginable wealth while ppl line up at food banks and schools fall apart

[Amnesty UK @AmnestyUK]

Protest is a human right.
Our right to protest is protected by the Human Rights Act.
Our right to protest is protected by international law.

Don’t let anyone tell you different

[Amnesty UK @AmnestyUK]

🚨 The UK government's latest bill is a cruel attack on people needing safety. They're using lies and hate-filled language that could end with more division, hatred, and violence. We can't let this happen.

People fleeing for their lives from war & persecution should be treated as we would hope to be treated, if we were them. Please watch & share this film if you agree.

A reminder @GovUK:

Seeking asylum is a human right
Seeking asylum is a human right
Seeking asylum is a human right
Seeking asylum is a human right

When you’re campaigning on serious issues, it’s understandable to think that there’s no place for being funny. But when campaigns get humour right it can be really powerful.

Quick thread below 🧵

[Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC]

Let’s examine one of the GOP’s arguments yesterday: that criticism of US/Israeli gov’s role in the Palestinian human rights crisis, which orgs from @hrw to @amnesty are sounding the alarm on, is equivalent to antisemitism.

It’s a dangerous conflation, and we must recognize that.

A week is along time in politics. A president impeached, arrested and imprisoned for a planned coup. Widespread protests, blockades and airport shut downs.

[Manolo De Los Santos @manolo_realengo]

Protestors in Peru have taken the International Airport in Arequipa, second most important city of the country. Flights have been suspended as protestors demand an end to the coup govt. Protests are intensifying towards the national strike on Dec 15th despite heavy repression.

[Liberty @libertyhq]

This is what you call an oopsie

There's no mandate for the #RightsRemovalBill
