“Solitary confinement unquestionably leads to severely detrimental health effects... I urge you to pass legislation eliminating solitary confinement completely," Dr. Katherine Peeler, PHR medical expert and assistant professor of pediatrics at Harvard told the Senate hearing.
🚨*These are not just numbers!* As April 15th nears, we're reminded that it's almost a year since the war in Sudan began. The last twelve months have been devastating. The war has caused terrible suffering, with thousands of people killed in the conflict or related violence, and…
Every second person in #Sudan is in need of humanitarian assistance. There’s still time to avert the worst but we need: - humanitarian access across borders, and humanitarian corridors; - attacks on health to end; - funding to meet the vast health needs. allafrica.com/stories/202404…
“My eye is gone. I cannot change that. But the way these weapons are used? That can be changed.” Leidy isn’t letting the story end here. Neither should we. #ProtectTheProtest and sign here for a Torture-Free Trade Treaty: amn.st/6010Z4mg4 ✊
New: Colorado Gov. Jared Polis (@GovofCO) signed a bill that prohibits state law enforcement, first responders, and coroners from using the invalid concept of “excited delirium,” making CO the second state after California to ban the term. PHR statement: phr.org/news/colorado-…
"Today, as the insecurity reaches some of the most alarming levels seen in recent years, I fear that the enjoyment of human rights in [Democratic Republic of Congo] has come to a grinding halt." -@volker_turk, @UNHumanRights on the mounting crisis in DRC. ohchr.org/en/statements-…
As the use of solitary confinement in immigration detention centers increases under the Biden administration, according to federal data, some Democratic lawmakers are demanding an end to the practice. nbcnews.com/news/us-news/i…
"End the misuse of solitary confinement in immigration detention," 12 U.S. senators call on @DHSgov, citing a landmark report from PHR & Harvard researchers. Thank you Senators @EdMarkey, @ewarren, @DickDurbin: markey.senate.gov/imo/media/doc/… Exclusive from @NBCNews:

Police tactics like physical restraints and Tasers aren’t supposed to end in death, but they can. The U.S. government struggles to track these cases, so a reporting team led by AP investigated and documented more than 1,000 deaths from 2012 through 2021. apne.ws/ZAQbzeD
#Russia continues to commit #WarCrimes in #Ukraine, including wilful killing, torture, rape, sexual violence & the unlawful transfer of children, the @UN's Commission of Inquiry on Ukraine said in its report to the Human Rights Council this week. #HRC55 ➡️ bit.ly/3VrakED
#Gaza's health system is in tatters: ❗Al Shifa Hospital remains besieged for the 10th day. ❗The Israeli military forced health workers and wounded patients to evacuate Al Amal Hospital. ❗Situation at the European Gaza Hospital is “unimaginable” and “beyond comprehension” ⬇️
🆕 The alarming deterioration of human rights over the past 2 decades has had serious implications for human health - particularly for the most vulnerable. A new @iasociety-Lancet Commission outlines recommendations to reverse this trend. hubs.li/Q02qlpBf0 @DukeGHI
#Feb24 marked 2 yrs since #Russia's full-scale invasion of #Ukraine & 10 yrs since #Crimea's annexation. Over 45,000 photos/videos captured with the @eyewitnessorg app show damage to critical civilian infrastructure. ➡️📑…ss-to-atrocities.shorthandstories.com/two-years-sinc… #UkraineWar #WarCrimes
PHR's team is in Geneva at the @UN_HRC, where we presented our documentation on conflict-related violence in Democratic Republic of Congo, Ethiopia, Syria & Ukraine. We call for accountability for attacks on health care & other serious crimes. #HRC55 @SZarifi @devos_christian

NEW REPORT: Louisiana has been one of the most aggressive states in enacting and enforcing legal bans on #abortion. From denying fundamental human rights to violating federal regulations, Louisiana's abortion bans have far-reaching consequences. phr.org/our-work/resou…
Nearly 1,000 reported attacks on health care workers, facilities, and other infrastructure in the Occupied Palestinian Territory (OPT) since October 7 warrant immediate, independent, and thorough investigations and accountability. Statement: phr.org/news/staggerin…

It's not every day that you launch a news organization. So thrilled to introduce theexamination.org to the world. Please come by and check our work! We tell urgent stories about who and what is threatening our health.
Personal news! After 5 years I’m leaving the Telegraph to move to Latin America and become a freelance reporter 🌎 I’ve had a fantastic time with the @TelGlobalHealth team – a few highlights below – and my email is [email protected] if you'd like to work together.
My latest: "They said, 'The best we can tell you to do is sit in the parking lot, and if anything else happens, we will be ready to help you. But we cannot touch you unless you are crashing in front of us or [...] you are fixing to have a heart attack.'" npr.org/sections/healt…
I’m incredibly proud to be appointed @hrw’s new Executive Director as we continue to press for #humanrights, dignity, and equality for all. It's a true privilege to work with my extraordinary colleagues & our partners to build a rights-respecting future. bit.ly/3LV8kzI
Crowd-control weapons increasingly used by police like tear gas, water cannons & rubber bullets are marketed as safe, but in reality, they are #LethalinDisguise. Explore the new @P4HR @INCLOnet @Omega_RF investigation on our new project website: lethalindisguise.org

Please amplify and support the CDC in ending the cruel Title 42 policy expelling asylum-seekers with no review of their claims for asylum. @P4HR @AcereEleanor @humanrights1st @KennjiKizuka @ranitmd @KatieHale29 @CDCgov @AltafSaadiMD @kevinashort @ReichlinMelnick
NEW: We have filed an amicus brief to the U.S. Court of Appeals in support of the CDC’s efforts to end the “scientifically baseless” Title 42 border expulsion policy. phr.org/news/title-42-…
Honored to receive this award for my immigration reporting. It's a privilege to be able to report on an issue central to the American story — and I certainly feel a great sense of responsibility to cover it in a nuanced and fair manner that respects everyone’s dignity.
AILA recognizes @camiloreports of @CBSNews with the 2022 Media Leadership Award, given to individuals whose efforts in the media most accurately depict immigration and immigrants. READ here: bit.ly/3NCfOpf WATCH the acceptance video: bit.ly/3O4QV5C
It has meant so much to work with CNN on this new role.I bring to it the reality of who I am and (still) how few of us have a seat at this table.Thank you for all the love (Mama is in tears!) - it is a privilege to be entrusted with peoples stories and one we don’t take lightly
Today CNN announced @nimaelbagir has been promoted to Chief International Investigative Correspondent. Her extraordinary reporting has exposed human rights issues around the world, triggering government reaction and creating change. Find her work here cnn.it/3r4pwb1
We are proud to announce that Physicians for Human Rights staff are unionizing with @cwa1180. 93% of eligible staff signed union authentication cards and we have received voluntary recognition from PHR. We believe that through equity, change is possible.
Important findings from our study! @Kathryn_Opal @P4HR @CUNYSPH @AnuAnandaraja @susannahsirkin @AmmahStarr @AnnOlivarius @Nermeen_Arastu @CunyMedicine @CUNYLaw
But there is a dire shortage of trained clinicians who can provide trauma-informed evaluations. "Our research paper should serve as a rallying call to the medical community to better serve traumatized individuals who seek protections in the United States." - @DrHollyAtkinson
It's clear that USG owes #reparations to families forcibly separated & traumatized by U.S. authorities at the Mex border - but true redress means reparations must go beyond monetary payment. Important argument by @P4HR #asylum experts @ranitmd @Kathryn_Opal #transitionaljustice
Money alone isn't enough to atone for family separation. The U.S. government should implement transformative reparations, which include not only financial compensation but also full acknowledgment, policy reforms and guarantees of non-repetition. thehill.com/opinion/immigr…
1/ Since November 2020, I had the privilege to work with PHR as the MENA researcher leading the organization's work in Syria to document, research, and study human rights violations, health disparities, and attacks on health care.
Delighted to read review of my book Perilous Medicine in @washingtonpost by @mroth78: "Rubenstein’s book is sad and necessary work. If only we take heed, we can make medicine less perilous and reaffirm our own humanity." washingtonpost.com/outlook/when-w… ; perilousmedicine.com
It's not just asylum advocates calling for an end to Title 42. Medical professionals agree that its continued use to close the U.S. southern border to asylum seekers has little basis in science, evidence or sound public health as a policy to respond to the COVID-19 pandemic.
BREAKING 🚨 Over 1,300 medical professionals from 49 U.S. states and territories are joining PHR to call on the CDC to end the Title 42 border expulsions order that has systematically endangered thousands of people who seek asylum in the United States. phr.org/our-work/resou…
A harrowing read but excellent work by the AP team (ie. the local fixers & interviewees who must remain unnamed, @KristenGelineau, & @thevmilko) and the @P4HR team for valuable forensics analyses. Premeditated, methodical AND systematic torture - that's #WhatsHappeningInMyanmar.
