⏰The clock is ticking.
With only one month until #EUelections2024, we are calling on the EU to put #HumanRights front & centre of its action.
Read our 4 demands for a brighter, fairer and more sustainable future 🧵
#EuropeDay#TheEuropeWeWant
We are deeply concerned about reports of police intervention at #PalestineCongress & that invited speaker Dr @GhassanAbuSitt1 was denied entry to #Germany.
These serious risks to freedom of expression & discrimination must urgently be investigated by German authorities.
This St Patrick's Day, @POTUS your roots are calling, demand a ceasefire and stop the transfers of arms.
More than 30,000 people have now been killed in Israel’s onslaught on the occupied Gaza Strip, many by US-made munitions.
Threats to deport foreign student visa holders for their speech should not be taken lightly. There is a long history of governments punishing people for political speech, in the US and globally. Absent criminal activity, even offensive speech is protected. vanityfair.com/news/2023/10/g…
"Yet again the UK govt has joined a shameful minority by abstaining in both the UN General Assembly ceasefire vote yesterday and the Security Council last week. Every second without a ceasefire costs lives. The UK is on the wrong side of history and must urgently reconsider its untenable position" - Sacha Deshmukh

In Podolsk, a town 30 kilometers from Moscow, at least 149,000 people were left without heating as temperatures have plunged to as low as minus 20 degrees Celsius.
“I have no words to describe how bad the situation is," a resident told The Moscow Times.

#Tunis Military Court of First Instance today sentenced opposition figure Chaima Issa to a 12 month suspended prison sentence over remarks she made in a media interview in 2022.
Authorities must quash this outrageous conviction immediately.

(2/4) @amnesty calls on EU leaders to:
📌 Pressure #Israel to lift its illegal blockade of #Gaza and ensure water, fuel, medical supplies, humanitarian aid and electricity get to those who need them.
📌 Call on all sides to respect #IHL.

It was a privilege to host the “Roma Rights are Human Rights” side event at the @OSCE Warsaw Human Dimension conference today. With thanks to @OSCEHCNM and our civil society panelists @OpenSociety, @ERRCtweets, and Victorina Luca for their insights, this discussion underscored the importance of viewing Roma equity as an indispensable component of broader socioeconomic and political development strategies.
More than 100,000 people have been impacted by recent military hostilities & have sought refuge in #Armenia - 30,000 of them are #children.
UNICEF is on the ground, working with @armgov to provide support. Our focus is the safety and well-being of these children & families.
The ruling clerics in #Iran have never been more in need of appeasement than they are today.
Under the immense impact of uprisings, they need diplomatic maneuvering more than ever before.
They are trying to win the support of both the West and the East against the people of Iran and their democratic revolution.
