Deeply shocked by the arrest yesterday in #Azerbaijan of prominent human rights defender, our colleague & friend Anar Mammadli. The closer to #COP29 we get, the longer the list of arbitrarily detained critics is. Anar should be freed immediately. rferl.org/a/azerbaijan-e…
Azerbaijan: The detention of Anar Mammadli, the head of the Election Monitoring Center, is the latest in a series of arrests of independent journalists & activists, and a matter of concern for 🇪🇺. All those imprisoned for exercising their fundamental rights should be released.

Homosexuality is now punishable by up to 15 years in prison in Iraq. Instead of passing laws that would protect and help Iraqis, parliament is doing the exact opposite. Horrific and unacceptable.
The Iraqi parliament’s passage of the anti-LGBT law rubber-stamps Iraq's appalling record of rights violations against LGBT people, adding insult to injury for Iraqi LGBT people already facing cyclical violence and threats to their lives by armed groups. rudaw.net/english/middle…
⚠️ Peaceful protest is a human right. ⚠️ Freedom of speech is a human right. ⚠️ Freedom of expression is a human right. ⚠️ Universities should respect these rights.
Holding hostages is a war crime. Civilians should never be treated as bargaining chips. Hamas and Islamic Jihad should immediately, and safely, release all civilian hostages. theguardian.com/world/2024/apr…
