According to exclusive testimony we've obtained, police officers in Abidjan apparently allowed groups of men, some of whom armed with machetes & heavy sticks, to attack protesters demonstrating against President Ouattara’s decision to run for 3rd term.

Can anyone in their right mind really think that soldiers armed for war is what is needed against #Refugees traumatized by war arriving at #Greece 's border?? While nothing is done to protect the terrified civilians under bombardments in #Idlib #Syria - https://t.co/o1j8dX9WWS

Across Europe, people are being prosecuted & harassed for helping refugees, asylum-seekers and migrants.

They risk jail for simple acts of compassion such as handing out warm clothes, offering shelter & saving lives at sea. #Greece #Italy #France #Spain https://t.co/L2RunFYKmx

As millions took to the streets or were forced to flee their countries in search of safety, states across the Americas clamped down on the rights to protest and seek asylum last year. Our 2019 annual report for the region is now live https://t.co/aitQuBU57j

The launch of a women’s football league in #SaudiArabia is no doubt a step that will be welcomed by Saudi citizens - but as with other reforms relating to women in the Kingdom, it's also a painful reminder of abysmal situation for the very women & men who fought for such change.

[Erika Guevara Rosas @ErikaGuevaraR]

2019 brought a renewed assault on human rights across the Americas, with intolerant and increasingly authoritarian leaders turning to ever-more violent tactics to stop people from protesting or seeking safety. Read @amnesty´s Americas Annual Report 2019: https://t.co/jKrld9eCVn
