Today, a month since Russia began its invasion in Ukraine, Amnesty activists from all around the world have been protesting to demand Russia to stop its aggression in Ukraine ✊
Today marks International Day for the Elimination of Racial Discrimination, observing the 1960 killing of dozens in South Africa who protested against apartheid laws.
However, apartheid isn't a relic of the past, it's a reality for millions of Palestinians. #EndIsraeliApartheid
The Israeli Knesset has reauthorised a law which bans Palestinians from gaining citizenship or residency in Israel through marriage. This brazenly discriminatory law means more Palestinian families will be torn apart.

NEW REPORT: Whether living in the occupied West Bank or Gaza, or within Israel itself, Palestinians are treated as an inferior racial group & systematically deprived of their rights.
This cruel system of domination and oppression is apartheid.
