Palestinian land defenders should not be criminalized for protecting their land, rights and communities.
The detention of Palestinian land defender Ghassan Najjar is yet another alarming example of the repression, harassment and criminalization faced by Palestinians resisting dispossession and unlawful settlement expansion.
He must be released immediately and unconditionally.
The world cannot stay silent while those defending human rights are targeted!

Lo que ocurre en #Paraguay con el cierre de @uenopy es una advertencia para el mundo.
En cuestión de horas, millones de personas han quedado expuestas a perder ahorros, fondos de jubilación y la seguridad económica de sus familias. Detrás de cada cifra hay personas que hoy no saben si podrán cubrir necesidades básicas, pagar tratamientos médicos o sostener el futuro que construyeron durante años.
Y, una vez más, quienes pagan el precio más alto no son quienes concentraron el poder, la influencia o los beneficios.
Esto no ocurre en el vacío. Esta crisis refleja una tendencia global cada vez más alarmante: cuando las redes de corrupción, las élites económicas y los intereses particulares operan bajo el manto de la impunidad, las consecuencias son devastadoras para millones de personas.
La crisis exige mucho más que respuestas financieras. Exige transparencia, investigaciones independientes, rendición de cuentas y reparaciones para quienes han sido afectados, y medidas efectivas para garantizar la no repetición.

El banco administraba hasta 850 millones de dólares en fondos públicos, según sus propias cifras.
La oposición pide un juicio político contra el mandatario paraguayo y cuestiona sus vínculos con el grupo propietario del banco. /mpw

This is a day that will be remembered in California’s history and resonate globally for years to come. Responding to calls from Clemency California, Amnesty International, and more than 40 international organizations, Governor Newsom has announced a decisive and powerful step away from the use of the death penalty – the ultimate cruel, inhuman, and degrading punishment.
The death penalty should be abolished, everywhere. Today marks a significant moment for human rights in California and across the country, but it is not the finishing line. The world is watching, and this decision is showing that progress is possible, and the United States, which remains among a small group of 17 countries that continues to carry out executions, can move beyond the death penalty.
ALT The image shows an California Governor Newsom. The text reads: "Gov. Gavin Newsom will commute all of the death sentences in California. 548 people currently sit on the state's death row." The top left corner shows a yellow location pin icon next to the word "California," and the bottom right corner displays the Amnesty International logo.

Herkes ayrımcılıktan uzak yaşama hakkına sahiptir, ama Türkiye’de hepimiz böyle yaşayamıyoruz. Yetkililer LGBTİ+’lara yönelik var olan baskıyı daha da artırarak, LGBTİ+ haklarını savunan onlarca kişiyi gözaltına aldı ve ofislerine baskın düzenledi.
🚫 Uluslararası Af Örgütü Türkiye’nin X hesabı da dahil hak örgütlerinin, aktivistlerin ve savunucuların internet sitelerine ve sosyal medya hesaplarına erişim engeli getirildi.
❗ Bu baskı ortamı artık son bulmalı.
❗ Türkiye’de LGBTİ+ haklarını savunmak şimdi her zamankinden daha önemli.

Israel is escalating its relentless expansion of illegal settlements by confiscating land in the occupied West Bank, including through the alarming step of blatantly ordering the seizure of land in Area A, under the control of the State of Palestine authorities.
States with close trade and political relationships with the Israeli government must urgently take action to pressure Israel to rescind these land confiscation orders.

Lebanon’s decision to abolish the death penalty marks a major milestone and a victory for human rights in the country. Justice must be rooted in human rights, not in an irreversible and cruel punishment.

Two years ago, the International Court of Justice (ICJ) issued a historic advisory opinion concluding that Israel’s decades long occupation and annexation of Palestinian territory are unlawful.
Two years later, Israel continues to commit a plethora of violations and atrocious crimes against Palestinians, including as part of its campaign of ethnic cleansing in the West Bank. Most states deliberately remain inactive enabling Israel to violate the rights of Palestinians with impunity.

Marco Rubio's attacks on the International Criminal Court are no surprise. As Secretary of State, he has been the chief architect of the Trump administration's assault on international human rights, writes @amklasing in @ForeignPolicy: bit.ly/4f4Xg1f
E-Ling Chiu retweeted
Marco Rubio’s reprehensible attack on the ICC is the latest in a series of escalating and existential assaults by the Trump administration on the very idea of international justice and a rules-based order, and on the international institutions painstakingly put in place over the last 80 years to ensure global peace and stability.
This attack came on the very day the ICC’s Deputy Prosecutor was in Chad meeting Darfuri victims of war crimes and atrocities in Sudan. The contrast could not be starker: while victims seek justice, the US government is seeking to undermine one of the world’s most important mechanisms for delivering it.
The ICC exists to deliver justice for the victims and survivors of atrocities around the world and hold the most powerful perpetrators accountable for their crimes. By threatening increased sanctions against the ICC and affiliated organizations, visa revocations and travel bans for ICC personnel, and heightened diplomatic pressure on other states to withdraw from the Court and oppose it, the US government is stepping up its campaign for a world without rules and without justice.
If other states bow to this pressure, they will acquiesce to a new era of lawlessness, impunity and rampant injustice. Now is not the time to appease. Now is the time to resist.
Appeasement will only further embolden perpetrators and open the door to more armed conflicts and more crimes committed by powerful leaders against their own or other states’ populations. Amnesty International calls on all states to firmly resist – both collectively and unilaterally – the Trump administration’s campaign against the ICC and all international institutions that protect human rights. They must also reiterate their support for the Court and enact practical and legislative measures, including so-called ‘blocking statutes’, to mitigate the effect of US sanctions on those impacted.
State inaction and cowardice in the face of past sanctions and attacks is what emboldened the US to announce this strategy. For the good of humanity, victims’ hopes of justice, and the prospect of lasting global security, the international community must come together, stand up to the bullies in the White House and State Department and protect the international rule of law. We must not accept a reality where the most powerful have the least legal responsibility.

This year’s escalating attacks on Hong Kong’s independent bookstores hammer home the chilling reality of what the city has become: a place where you can be criminalized simply for what’s on your bookshelf 👇
