“It’s like modern-day slavery. Because it’s cheap labor,” says Nerima Wako-Ojiwa, a Kenyan civil rights activist. Big American tech companies advertise AI jobs as a ticket to the future, but she calls the workspaces AI sweatshops. https://t.co/iQTFVvTwUn

.@strengthandsol on whether the global human rights system is at risk with Gaza: „It’s a broken system. The first step to a solution is realizing that: whatever we have right now, we‘ve always known it was imperfect. But we now know it’s not working.“

[Jenny Morgan @jennym_morgan]

"Three years of injustice, three years of an absolute void in human rights work in Kashmir. Voices, like Khurram's, are terribly missed in these times. . ."

Familiares denuncian desaparición de 25 estudiantes de la Universidad Nacional de la Seguridad desde la tarde del domingo 28-7

Los desaparecidos protestaron en la sede de la UNES Catia, Caracas, denunciando al director de la institución por obligarlos a votar por Nicolás Maduro en la elección presidencial.

Algunos de los jóvenes que están desaparecidos por exigir que se les permitiera su derecho a votar libremente están identificados como: Derwin Linares, Eudimar Labrador, Maick Delfin y Antonio Gutiérrez.

Recordamos que la desaparición forzada es un arresto, detención, secuestro u otra privación ilegítima de libertad ejecutada por agentes del Estado como una estrategia para generar terror entre las víctimas y sus familiares.

La desaparición forzada, detenciones arbitrarias, torturas y otros tratos crueles sistemáticos constituyen crímenes de lesa humanidad. Venezuela tiene Investigación en la Corte Penal Internacional por estos crímenes.
