More than 18 months in administrative detention, without charges or convictions, under the brutality of the security systems and the disregard of the UN. Far from me, my son is struggling to preserve his sight, and I am fighting for both of them. @BulgariaUNHCR #FathersDay

The merger of LIV Golf and PGA "has been met with a chorus of criticism & accusations of hypocrisy", writes @Ray_Uddin. Sportswashing shows "there is absolutely no hesitation to cast human rights aside for profit," says our Human Rights Officer @fal_syd. middleeasteye.net/news/saudi…

I've received disturbing news that the trial on new charges of Saudi HRD Mohammad Al-Qahtani has been adjourned twice due to his absence & that his family & lawyer have no information about him. His 10-year jail term ended 6 months ago. He should be released. @KSAPermanentGVA

Today’s trial session of my husband was postponed in #SaudiArabia, which confirms his forcible disappearance since October 24th We do not know what the charges are, nor why he did not attend court. He must be allowed to contact us and the sham trial put to an end !#FreeAlQahtani

Turkish border guards are indiscriminately shooting at Syrian civilians on the border with Syria, as well as torturing and using excessive force against asylum seekers and migrants trying to cross into Turkey. Eight were just viciously beaten. Two died. hrw.org/news/2023/04/27/turk…

What freedom, and at whose expense? What the Israeli government is “celebrating” today is 75 years of ongoing dispossession, oppression, and ethnic cleansing of Palestinians. These are the requirements for maintaining apartheid and they’re nothing to celebrate.
