Civilians should never be treated as bargaining chips.
Hamas and Islamic Jihad are committing war crimes by holding scores of Israelis and others as hostages in Gaza.

Judy Heumann spent a lifetime breaking down barriers and helping others reach their full potential. I’ll always be grateful for her outstanding work in my Administration creating opportunities for all of America’s children. Hillary and I will miss her very much. https://t.co/u313vQTZF2
Judy Heumann dedicated her life to the fight for civil rights—starting as a young organizer at Camp Jened and later helping lead the disability rights movement. Michelle and I were fortunate to work with Judy over the years, and are thinking of her family and friends.
Thank you to everyone who has followed and supported Judy throughout her lifetime of advocacy. May her memory be for a blessing.

I am privileged to have headed Human Rights Watch for three decades. With my colleagues and our supporters, we have built a global organization and a powerful defender of people's rights. But it is time to pass the baton. I will be leaving @HRW in August. https://t.co/KnvSFaNsuG
On #HumanRightsDay, we remember our colleague Dewa Mavhinga. Mavhinga was known not just for his passion, commitment, and leadership on human rights but above all for his great heart.
He was, one colleague wrote, “the best of what we strive to be.”
