It is a dark day in the #UK after the #RwandaBill was passed. It will have a devastating impact on human rights & the rule of law, risking the lives of asylum seekers & setting a dangerous global precedent. New from @YasmineAhmed001 & me ⬇️ @hrw 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
New @hrw Report: Iran's security forces raped, tortured, and sexually assaulted detainees while repressing widespread protests in 2022 and 2023. This documentation of horrific abuses in Iran adds to previous research by HRW, @AmnestyIran, & UN FFM hrw.org/news/2024/04/2…

Breaking: State-backed Israeli settler attacks displaced 7+ entire Palestinian West Bank communities since Oct 7. Israeli authorities are responsible—they participated in attacks or looked on, arm settlers & ensure impunity. Sanctions needed. New from @hrw hrw.org/news/2024/04/1…
Big news today in the ECHR case against Switzerland on climate change! 👏👏
Big news today in the ECHR case against Switzerland on climate change! 👏👏
@hrw Several countries responded to the govt's unlawful actions by airdropping aid, but they shouldn't be looking for band-aid solutions to this manmade crisis. The US, UK, France, & Germany need to use their leverage by immediately suspending arms transfers to Israel.
@hrw Starvation, even for survivors, leads to lasting harm, especially in kids. Nour-al Huda, an 11-year-old with cystic fibrosis, is just one child battling the consequences of Israel's starvation tactics. “I can see her chest bones sticking out," her mom said.
Dr. Hussam Abu Safiya, who heads Kamal Adwan hospital’s pediatrics unit, told @hrw on April 4 that 26 kids had died after experiencing starvation-related complications in his hospital alone. He said that at least 16 were under 5 months old, and at least 10 were between 1 and 8.
The UN & other NGOs warned of imminent famine in mid March. Doctors & families in Gaza described to us infants, toddlers and school-aged kids, as well as pregnant and breastfeeding mothers, suffering from severe malnutrition & dehydration, & hospitals ill-equipped to treat them.
🧵In Dec, @hrw found Israel using starvation of Gaza as a weapon of war, a war crime. Today, we detail its deadly consequences: kids not only killed in airstrikes but now dying from malnutrition, dehydration, and other starvation-related complications. hrw.org/news/2024/04/0…

Here's the fate of Palestinian detainees as "regulated and governed by legal processes" in #Israel, @usmissiongeneva @USAmbHRC: - @UN_SPExperts: rb.gy/f1gfk6 - @PHRIsrael: rb.gy/46ljma - @hrw: rb.gy/q6ayxi - @nytimes: rb.gy/eujdj6
#Ethiopian forces executed scores of civilians over 6 hrs in #Merawi #Amhara in late Jan, and carried out further executions in Feb. One resident said: “We hear gunshots every day. You don’t know whether you will be killed or wake up the next day.” hrw.org/news/2024/04/0…
6/ Ethiopian authorities denied that they targeted civilians. UN rights chief should launch indpt’ inquiry, & UN & AU should consider suspending new deployments of Ethiopian forces into peacekeeping missions.
4/ Soldiers prevented residents from picking up the bodies of their loved ones until late the following morning. One resident said: “You would see mothers & wives of people killed staring at their loved ones, unable to do anything. Sad, but they weren’t allowed to cry or mourn.”
3/ Soldiers also pillaged homes and businesses, stole from the bodies of victims, and burnt bajajs – a key means of transport and source of livelihood for residents
2/ Following fierce fighting btw Ethiopian soldiers & Fano forces on January 29, the Fano withdrew from the town & govt’ forces then went on a 6 hr killing spree. They pulled people from their homes and shot them on the street.
1/🚨 #Ethiopian soldiers’ summary executions of dozens of civilians in Merawi, #Amhara in Jan & again in Feb show the consequences of the impunity in which Ethiopian forces operate. Time for #Ethiopia’s partners to act. New investigation from @hrw hrw.org/news/2024/04/0…

@hrw Several countries responded to the govt's unlawful actions by airdropping aid, but they shouldn't be looking for band-aid solutions to this manmade crisis. The US, UK, France, & Germany need to use their leverage by immediately suspending arms transfers to Israel.
@hrw Starvation, even for survivors, leads to lasting harm, especially in kids. Nour-al Huda, an 11-year-old with cystic fibrosis, is just one child battling the consequences of Israel's starvation tactics. “I can see her chest bones sticking out," her mom said.
Dr. Hussam Abu Safiya, who heads Kamal Adwan hospital’s pediatrics unit, told @hrw on April 4 that 26 kids had died after experiencing starvation-related complications in his hospital alone. He said that at least 16 were under 5 months old, and at least 10 were between 1 and 8.
Gaza’s Health Ministry reported as of April 1, that 32 people, including 28 children, had died of malnutrition and dehydration at hospitals in northern Gaza.
The UN & other NGOs warned of imminent famine in mid March. Doctors & families in Gaza described to us infants, toddlers and school-aged kids, as well as pregnant and breastfeeding mothers, suffering from severe malnutrition & dehydration, & hospitals ill-equipped to treat them.
🧵In Dec, @hrw found Israel using starvation of Gaza as a weapon of war, a war crime. Today, we detail its deadly consequences: kids not only killed in airstrikes but now dying from malnutrition, dehydration, and other starvation-related complications. hrw.org/news/2024/04/0…

#Ethiopian forces executed scores of civilians over 6 hrs in #Merawi #Amhara in late Jan, and carried out further executions in Feb. One resident said: “We hear gunshots every day. You don’t know whether you will be killed or wake up the next day.” hrw.org/news/2024/04/0…
Al-Hathloul 'can't leave Saudi' despite travel ban ending. Why is the rest of my family unable to travel either? How in the world can a country be "opening up" when it closes borders on its own citizens. Let my family be free of their movement. newarab.com/news/al-hathlo…
6/ Ethiopian authorities denied that they targeted civilians. UN rights chief should launch indpt’ inquiry, & UN & AU should consider suspending new deployments of Ethiopian forces into peacekeeping missions.
5/ As the community was still reeling from this heinous onslaught, government forces carried out further reprisal killings against civilians less than one month later, on February 24 following another Fano attack in the town
