We are witnessing an abhorrent violation of international law & human rights in #Gaza. 38 confirmed dead, including 6 children, with close to 2000 people injured. Many are reporting injuries to the head and chest. Over 500 injured with live ammunition. This must end immediately.
Our official new report looks at the decades-long suffering of Palestinians under Israel’s rule. We've concluded that Israel’s treatment of Palestinians throughout Israel & the Occupied Palestinian Territories amounts to apartheid.

Israel’s apartheid over Palestinians is a crime against humanity. A reminder.
Today’s mass execution of 37 people in Saudi Arabia is a chilling demonstration of the authorities' disregard for human life. It is yet another gruesome indication of how the death penalty is being used as a political tool to crush dissent.
The Kashmir blackout is over 40 days old. 8 million people are under lockdown. In the world’s most militarised zone.

Iran’s must quash the death sentences of protesters—Amirhossein Moradi, Saeed Tamjidi & Mohammad Rajabi—immediately! Their trial was unfair & they said they were subjected to torture through beatings, electric shocks and being hung upside down.

Hey 👋
We know you are expected to make $6 billion in revenue from the #WorldCup2022. You should dip into that 💰 and compensate the workers who suffered from labor abuses. These abuses must never happen again. It's time to #PayUpFIFA!

You refused to compromise.
You inspired others.

It's a paradox that as India celebrates Independence Day, Jammu & Kashmir continue to be subjected to a lockdown. If India's PM Modi believes that his decisions regarding J&K have the support of the people of India, then he must immediately lift the communications blackout.
