Yet again, protestors in Pakistan have faced a brutal and lethal crackdown shrouded in a callous opacity by the authorities.

Urgent and transparent investigation is needed into the deadly crackdown on protesters: https://t.co/reIWKw4el3

The UK government’s attempt to bypass human rights protections for refugees is shameless and unlawful.

The Rwanda Bill is callous, immoral and an attack on the basic protections that keep us all safe.

We urge Parliament to reject the Rwanda Bill. https://t.co/UOPaN8MXEo

At 12pm on Saturday 4th November there will be a protest in Keel Square, Sunderland, calling for an urgent ceasefire.

[Liberty @libertyhq]

If you're protesting this weekend, it's vital you know your rights

Save these bust cards, share with others, write phone numbers on your arm, look for legal observers if you need assistance and remember to say "no comment" without a lawyer

Keep yourselves and each other safe

[Amnesty International @amnesty]

CEASEFIRE NOW!
CEASEFIRE NOW!
CEASEFIRE NOW!
CEASEFIRE NOW!

In the face of unfettered devastation and suffering, humanity must prevail. Demand a ceasefire by all parties to end civilian suffering.

Act now ⬇️

Without addressing the root causes of this violence, including impunity for war crimes by all sides and Israel’s system of apartheid imposed on Palestinians, civilians will continue to pay the price.
