🚨 New from @hrw: US universities should respect the right to protest, end their crackdown on peaceful pro-Palestinian protests. This includes @Columbia @BarnardCollege @UTAustin @EmoryUniversity etc. 👉 hrw.org/news/2024/04/2…
“Iran’s revolutionary court judges… make a mockery of any existing legal safeguards… Toumaj Salehi’s outrageous verdict is just latest manifestation of Iran’s brutal justice system. He should be released immediately.” hrw.org/news/2024/04/2… @hrw
#ToomajSalehi rapper & songwriter, and human rights activist has been sentenced to execution by the Islamic Republic regime his lawyer confirms. #NOTOEXECUTIONS #FreeToomaj
With world's attention on Gaza, Israeli settlers & soldiers are literally wiping Palestinian communities off the map. Palestinians displaced from 20 communities—at least 7 entirely uprooted. Large areas of the West Bank depopulated of Palestinians in just months. New @hrw report.

The Taliban have adopted one abusive policy after another. And they have gotten to this point because the international community has not held them accountable.
Breaking: new @hrw report documents another apparent Israeli war crime—Oct 31 strike on central Gaza apartment building killing 106+ civilians, including 54 kids, many playing football. No evidence of military target—making strike unlawfully indiscriminate hrw.org/news/2024/04/0…
Transparency is key to realizing victims’ rights and ensuring that the #ICC can be an effective catalyst for domestic justice➡️NGOs call on the Office of the Prosecutor to strengthen public communication: hrw.org/news/2024/03/1… @hrw @ngos4justice Why is this important? 🧵👇
🍾🇫🇷 Yesterday #France's vote marked global 1st in explicitly introducing #abortion protections in national constitution. It also reflects need for safeguards in face of global attacks on abortion & sexual & repro health rights. #MonCorpsMonChoix @hrw 1/ hrw.org/news/2024/03/0…

The international community should recognize that the fight Afghan women and girls are in right now is a fight for the rights of women and girls everywhere. We should stand with them as if their fate helps determine our own—because it does. gjia.georgetown.edu/2024/02/06/the…

Breaking: US federal court finds "undisputed evidence" that Israel's actions in Gaza "may plausibly constitute a genocide"—a siege intended "to eradicate a whole people"—& "implores" US gov "to examine the results of their unflagging support" for Israel. Biden admin put on notice

Irish DOJ now 3.5 years late on its review of the 2017 sex work law, which increased rates of sexual violence & attacks on women. The delay blatantly deprioritizes both sex workers *and* survivors of trafficking, because criminalization harms them both. hrw.org/news/2023/06/2…
Afghan women/girls deserve their day in court against the Taliban, and the ICJ could play an important role. The support of just one state party to CEDAW could make that happen. Could World Court Address Women’s Rights in Afghanistan? | Human Rights Watch hrw.org/news/2024/01/3…
A landmark decision — the ICJ’s speedy ruling issued today is recognition of the dire situation in Gaza, where civilians face starvation and are being killed daily at levels unprecedented in the recent history of Israel and Palestine.

“Iranian authorities are notorious for wielding the death penalty against people after unfair trials to instill fear into a population that has mobilized nationwide protests calling for fundamental reforms,” @hrw quote on #Iran's execution spree hrw.org/news/2024/01/2…
Excruciating sorrow was caught in this clip as the family of Mohammad Ghobadlou discovered the 23-year-old was hanged today. This is not a drill. The Islamic Republic of Iran's relentless state-sanctioned killing spree extends beyond its borders, demanding an urgent and resolute…
