According to The Washington Post, #Israel continues to conduct raids in the West Bank that frequently lead to indiscriminate deaths of #Palestinian children. These actions have raised concerns about the loss of innocent lives in the region. Justice for #OmarMohammadAwadin! #Jenin
Three more protesters were recently put to death in #Iran on suspicion of murdering security personnel, which raises major questions about due process and impartial trials. We must ensure the rule of law is upheld and the rights of defendants protected in Iran. #ExecutionsinIran
#Iran achieves its goals by arresting foreign nationals, using them for prisoners swap all over the world. #OlivierVandecastele, aid worker, for #Assadollah_Assadi, terrorist. This time #hostagediplomacy worked. Who will #Iran arbitrarily arrest next? https://t.co/JoNaaD7zI4
No more silence! The essential tenets of a #freesociety are under threat from the #spywaresurveillance of #journalists. Governments must move quickly to defend #pressfreedom, protect journalists' privacy, and provide a secure environment for the fourth estate to flourish.
Disconcerting news! Nearly 80 primary school students, mostly girls, are suspected to have been poisoned over the weekend, taken to hospital in #Afghanistan's Sangcharak district. Just when we thought the Taliban had hit the bottom, they are still digging. #LetAfghanGirlsLearn
It is disheartening to witness the struggles and suffering endured by #LGBTQ individuals who simply want to live their lives authentically and without fear. This is not possible in the #UK! #humanrights#backslidingdemocracy#UnitedKingdom https://t.co/D003ANglX1
By mid-2023, many of the #UAE94#prisonersofconscience in the #UAE will have spent almost 11 years behind bars. Some have been denied family visits and communication w/their families for up to five years. Is such a country adequate to host #COP28? Definitely not! @HRW@Amnesty
The news from the #UAE that #climate campaigner attendees at an environmental conference trailing the country's hosting of #COP28 were issued with written guidance that they "do not criticise the government, corporations or individuals", "do not protest", is depressingly familiar
#UAE is guilty of numerous #humanrights abuses. Despite the mounting evidence of these abuses, they show no signs of addressing the situation. In response, @HRW & @Amnesty are calling for the UAE to be removed as the host of #COP28, the upcoming #UN#climate conference.
If the #UAE is really going to host he #COP28 in Dec this year, something must change. BUT FOR REAL! For more than 10 years, UAE have been unjustly detaining at least 60 Emirati #humanrights defenders, civil society activist & political dissidents. This is ridiculous...
Is anyone really thinking about the #humanrights record of the #UAE ahead of #COP28, except @HRW, @Amnesty & other human rights organizations?! I wouldn't say so! To begin with, all those detained solely for the exercise of their human rights must be released, NOW! IT'S SHAMEFUL
