Thank you Manizha Talash for your bravery and for using your moment to turn the world’s eyes back towards the systematic oppression & domination of Afghan women.
As we approach 3 years of the Taliban take over, the imperative to #endgenderapartheid could not be more important.

The Olympic is over but the Taliban's Human Rights abuses aren't. Pay attention to what is happening to women's rights in #Afghanistan @hrw. Sports are still forbidden for women & girls. @iocmedia @Paris2024 @RefugeesOlympic Statement by Manizha Talash!

We are deeply disturbed by the arbitrary arrest and forced disappearance of Woman Human Rights Defender (#WHRD), Namatai Kwekweza @namataik_ who was forcibly removed from a plane by state security agents this afternoon. Namatai's dedication to #HumanRights and justice is commendable, and her abrupt detention raises serious concerns about the respect for fundamental freedoms in #Zimbabwe. We urgently call for her immediate release and a thorough investigation into her whereabouts, safety, and well-being. The protection of #WHRDs is essential for upholding democracy and human rights for all.
#ReleaseNamatai #SafeguardingWHRDs

🇨🇦 #Canada joins the shameful list of countries where prisoners of conscience remain under house arrest or behind bars. @amnesty has declared the first-ever prisoner of conscience in the country: Chief Dsta’hyl of the Wet'suwet'en Nation.
Amnesty International has documented the human rights violations experienced by Wet’suwet’en land defenders, including Chief Dsta’hyl, in the context of a liquefied natural gas pipeline being built through their ancestral land.

Our new @amnesty's report on #Sudan documents how recently manufactured foreign weapons have been transferred into and around Sudan, often in flagrant breach of the existing Darfur arms embargo.
We found that recently manufactured or recently transferred weapons and ammunition from countries including China, Russia, Serbia, Türkiye, the United Arab Emirates (UAE) and Yemen are being imported in large quantities into Sudan, and then in some cases diverted into Darfur.

New @Amnesty briefing shows how large quantities of weapons are being imported into #Sudan, fueling conflict & civilian suffering. Weapons & ammunition are often diverted to Darfur in violation of existing UNSC arms embargo. UNSC must expand the arms embargo to the rest of Sudan.

🧵1/3 Thulani Maseko was a courageous human rights defender, lawyer & government critic who refused to turn a blind eye to the state’s oppression of the people of #Eswatini. It has been #500days since he was killed and with no accountability

On 21 January 2023, Thulani Maseko was killed by unknown gunmen in his home, in Eswatini. Despite regional & international calls for an independent & impartial investigation into the unlawful killing, Thulani's family & community remain far from attaining justice for him.

Dear @GRAMMYAdvocacy, today, a young rapper from Iran was sentenced to death for employing his art to back his sisters in Iran and contest the gender apartheid perpetrated by the Islamic Regime of Iran. Time is of the essence, and we must not let him down! Please, raise your voice and demand his safety!
