11 January 2023 - ICJ, The Hague
Watching African women & men fighting to save humanity & the int'l legal system against the ruthless attacks supported/enabled by most of the West will remain one of the defining images of our time. This will make history whatever happens.

Last year our clients, two Knitting Nannas, took legal action to defend the democratic right of people to peacefully protest.
Today, we won on parts of the Constitutional grounds of our case!

Today a whistleblower goes on trial. The prosecution of David McBride will deter future whistleblowers and undermine press freedom. A joint statement from civil society hrlc.org.au/news/2023/11/13/…

You provided the cover for this. You and all of your so-called civilised friends for this barbarity, decades of impunity and hypocrisy and double standards. Your friends in Australia and the UK and the EU and the rest of you. Shame @SenatorWong @AlboMP @dfat We are human too.
Anti-Semitism must never be tolerated, and nor should the silencing of peaceful protesters who are deeply worried about their loved ones in Gaza.

Allegations have been made that a lobbying firm suggested funnelling money to former Cabinet Minister Stuart Robert, to secure gov leases.
This couldn't happen if there were:
- strongly enforced caps on political donations; &
- lobbying transparency laws.

South Australia has a long and proud history of peaceful protest. But the SA government's proposed anti-protest laws are putting our rights at risk. These laws are not just anti-protest, they're anti-people. We urge @PMalinauskasMP to withdraw. @DavidHRLC #ProtectProtest

This is as disturbing as it is unsurprising.
We urgently need strong regulation of lobbying to stop harmful industries from influencing outcomes on public health.

"Ned’s case represents the total dysfunction of Australia’s asylum regime, extending from the arbitrary ‘regional processing’ arrangements, the unfair ‘fast-track’ procedures, to the continuing indefinite detention of people seeking asylum."

Australia, some of you might remember our campaign from a few months back to save #MajidKazemi who has family living in Sydney. His death sentence has just been confirmed by Iran's Supreme Court. Now is the time to speak up, and to call on @SenatorWong to make representations.
Today, Iran's judiciary confirmed the death sentences of three more Iranian protesters, #MajidKazemi, #SaeedYaghoobi & #SalehMirhashemi. Their executions could come at any moment.
A few months ago, a large number of other protesters were similarly condemned to death but in the end five were actually executed. The other executions were stopped by the intervention of representatives of western countries and people like you.
We Iranian people call on you, leaders of western countries and members of their parliaments to stop the executions of these three innocent young men. We need your help to save their lives.
