The UK Government’s cruel Rwanda Bill has passed. Today will forever leave a stain on the UK’s moral reputation The UK has an obligation to provide safety to refugees. It’s now vital that flights to Rwanda do not leave the tarmac.
It's time for #AllOurRightsinLaw! To understand the human rights treaties behind Scotland's new Human Rights Bill, join one of our lunchtime webinars on Our International Human Rights. UNCRPD: buff.ly/3TUdBLn UNCEDAW: buff.ly/3xAOrcf And stay tuned for more!

I was proud to lead a debate on the 75th Anniversary of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights this week. A momentous milestone, but a reminder we've still a lot of work to do - both here at home and around the world - on securing and protecting human rights.
Was lovely to be invited by @AmnestyScotland to attend the Reception at the @ScotParl celebrating human rights last night! Heard from wonderful, amazing people and has filled me with a lot of hope for the future! Lovely to catch up with friendly faces 🤍
An absolute honour to sponsor a special reception at @ScotParl with @AmnestyScotland, celebrating the 75th Anniversary of Universal Declaration of Human Rights - following my members debate in the chamber.
We're here @ScotParl too (but got into trouble for cheering from the gallery!) Oops. Sorry @kaukabstewart @SP_EHRCJ and Presiding Officer. 😳 We got excited about the incorporation of #UNCRC and the new #HumanRightsBill 👊🏻🥳 #MakingRightsReal
We're at @ScotParl this evening to watch Convenor of the Equalities, Human Rights and Civil Justice Committee, @kaukabstewart present the Motion below and subsequently debate pertinent human rights issues during the anniversary of #UDHR75 Thread below 🧵
The incomparable @pinar_aksu5 speaking about her PhD and campaigns at the @RoyalSocEd workshop marking the 75th Anniversary of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Today, the Scottish Parliament will debate and vote to make the principles of the UNCRC law here in Scotland. I hope today that we can pass the amended Bill, and put into legislation the UNCRC unanimously once again.
🧡Love this campaign for #FreeBusTravel and #AsylumSeekers 🏴 and that @scotgov has committed to making these rights real 🌟 Now the hard work of making that happen, but first, we celebrate 🙌🏽 🙌🏽
Together with @VOICESNetworkUK, @PaulJSweeney, @justrightscot and others we fought for #AsylumSeekers to have #FreeBusTravel... ...and guess what 🚍Change is coming! 👀Here linktr.ee/maryhillintegr… you can find our statement that was read by @kaukabstewart @FionaHyslop
🕯️ And here it is! My wee video for Amnesty aiming to remove legal jargon from human rights. 💙 This has been so much fun and I hope that this can help even just one person. 💛 Everyone should (and will) know their human rights!
Under @scotgov plans for a new Human Rights Bill, there will be greater rights protections in Scotland, including the Right to Adequate Housing. Sign up for our jargon free updates to learn more about the changes that are happening next year : amnesty.org.uk/unlock-scotland
We'll see you at #SCVOGathering this week! @scvotweet
If you are headed to #SCVOGathering this week, please come along to our session with @emmaleehutton and @justrightscot on making human rights justice a reality. We will focus on the 13 calls to action from our new joint reports on access to justice in Scotland.
Fantastic example of presenting complex issues in an accessible way - @Ulgrid @together_sacr presentation from #RightsDetectives to @SP_EHRCJ on #UNCRCScotland using a Halloween themed analogy.
👏🏽This is fantastic news 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 @patrickharvie has announced funding to introduce #freebus for all people seeking asylum in Scotland! @VOICESNetworkUK @PaulJSweeney 👏🏽👏🏽✊🏽✊🏽 We are looking forward to next steps and working together ✊🏽🕊👏🏽
Some of the most vulnerable people in Scotland are those seeking asylum, often struggling to access the transport they need. Today we can announce that we have budgeted £2m to allow all asylum seekers resident in Scotland to access free bus travel. #SGPconf
Thrilled to have confirmation this morning that free bus travel for people seeking asylum will be introduced in the next Scottish budget. It has been a privilege to work with @VOICESNetworkUK, @Maryhill_IN and cross-party colleagues in Parliament over the last two years on this.
I am urging @scotgov to extend free bus travel to asylum seekers in Scotland. I spoke to @VOICESNetworkUK who told me how they are barred from working, given slum-like accommodation and made to survive on just £5 a day. For such small change, it would make a huge difference.
An immediate ceasefire is the most effective way to protect civilians in Israel and Palestine. I agree with @AgnesCallamard @amnesty “it could prevent the mounting civilian death toll in Gaza and could also provide an opportunity to secure the safe release of hostages.”
In Scotland, we can create a welcoming society. Make life a little easier for people navigating the asylum process. Let's make this a reality and provide #FreeBusTravel to people seeking asylum in Scotland ✊🏽✊🏽
Today,we went to the Scottish Parliament supporting the motion led by @PaulJSweeney to extend the concessionary bus travel scheme to include people seeking asylum in Scotland With our friends from @VOICESNetworkUK, &others, we thank everyone for all the support #FreeBusTravel

At 12:45, I will be moving a motion to extend free bus travel to all people seeking asylum in Scotland. It is great to have cross-party support from my parliamentary colleagues and civic society for this compassionate act. For such small change, it would make a huge difference.

Our position on Shamima Begum's citizenship👇 "She is, was and frankly remains British" - @stevesymondsAI
Shamima Begum's legal fight over the decision to remove her British citizenship reaches the Court of Appeal today. The 24-year-old previously lost a challenge against the decision to strip her of her citizenship on national security grounds.
We have lost a friend and colleague: Rushdi Saraj, who worked with @amnesty on a short film, was murdered today in an Israeli air strike. Rushdi was a talented film maker and a journalist - another victim of Israel bombing of Gaza maktoobmedia.com/opinion/gaza-j…
Love this! @DionneHossack
We want to make UN human rights treaties relatable. Why? Because the Scottish Government is starting the process of bringing them into Scottish law and you deserve to know how this affects you. Learn more about our project here: amnesty.org.uk/updates-human-…
