Eritrea: Free Swedish citizen Dawit Isaak now! He has been imprisoned for 22 years. ENOUGH IS ENOUGH! https://t.co/p2MCqdRKqe

The Italian authorities should drop all criminal defamation charges against writer, and journalist @robertosaviano and SOHRI is still deeply concerned about the ongoing propagation of xenophobic hate against @rulajebreal. #GaetanoSalvemini #Italy

Saddened by the gruesome murder of respected human rights lawyer Thulani Maseko! @EswatiniGovern1 must investigate and bring to justice those responsibly for this dastardly act! https://t.co/KSvhsWhMLN

Freedom of expression is a fundamental part of democracy. But what is legal is not necessarily appropriate. Burning books that are holy to many is a deeply disrespectful act. I want to express my sympathy for all Muslims who are offended by what has happened in Stockholm today.

"Democracy does not simply mean that the views of a majority must always prevail: a balance must be achieved which ensures the fair and proper treatment of people from minorities and avoids any abuse of a dominant position" (Fedotova and Others V. Russia [GC]. 40792/10 et al.)

Full support and solidarity to @GazelleSharmahd in her struggle to save her father from the oppressive, and criminal regime of #Iran. #SaveSharmahd

Iran & #SaveSharmahd

In 2020, Iran abducted, jailed, and tortured Jamshid Sharmahd accusing him of involvement in a terror bombing. Experts say the case is a sham.

His daughter @GazelleSharmahd explains why her father was detained and her hopes for his freedom.

Such a dismal example of the extent of the efforts to shut down legitimate, important and yes often necessarily hard-hitting critique of #Israel’s glaring record of extensive human rights violations. @Kennedy_School @Harvard’s utter disgrace.

“It was like just a bundle of clothes,” said Tanguy, rescuer, at the end of the rescue operation, conducted in total darkness.
What at first looked like just a pile of rags was a baby barely two weeks old. @SOSMedItalia #OceanViking

After #Sweden's recent deportations of #Refugees and asylum-seekers to #Turkey. SOHRI, finds it essential to remind the current Swedish government of the case of the two Egyptians: Ahmed Agiza and Mohammed Alzery. https://t.co/OEz0dqeoPN

STATEMENT: “We cannot effectively reach children, women and men in desperate need in #Afghanistan without our female staff. Without women driving our response, we would not have jointly reached millions of Afghans in need since August 2021."

“UNICEF strongly condemns the recent decree issued by the Taliban de facto authorities banning all female humanitarian workers at national and international NGOs from working across Afghanistan.” Read statement by @unicefchief https://t.co/y206w9Utqv

In its bid to join #NATO, #Sweden has begun deporting #Kurdish asylum-seekers to #Turkey, where they face imprisonment and torture. The Swedish Observatory for Human Rights Information calls on Sweden to stop the deportations now!

#Afghanistan’s govt is a basket case. With every move the #Taliban are pushing themselves beyond the pale of any rehabilitation in the diplomatic community (and anyone who bought into that first press conference where they called on a female reporter was utter fooled).

[Alex Neve @AlexNeve24]

"The Muslim community has called for a suspension of the [CRA's Research and Analysis Division] and for its activities to be reviewed by the National Security Intelligence Review Agency; we unreservedly support that call."

[Swedish Observatory for Human Rights Information @sohrise]

Rights and responsibilities go hand in hand. States must respect and protect #HumanRights. But in the wake of intense migration, many #Refugees have been exposed to racism, discrimination, and violence in different countries.

In #Iran at least 149 crimes are punishable by flogging. In some cases, the flogging is carried out before the execution to maximize the convict’s suffering. #AbolishFlogging #IranRevoIution #MahsaAmini

On #HumanRightsDay, let us reaffirm our commitment towards protecting the human rights of all. All human beings are born free and equal in dignity and rights. It is important to end inequality and discrimination.

[Swedish Observatory for Human Rights Information @sohrise]

On #HumanRightsDay SOHRI wants to thank all Human Rights Defenders in the #MENA region fighting for freedom, dignity and justice every day.
