This resolution is a momentous step forward for legal recognition and reparations for those who have suffered the enduring harms of chattel enslavement. Europe, those responsible, abstained. And only 3 countries voted against: USA, Israel and Argentina. But the majority of the world supports it.

This month marks the 200th anniversary of the "independence debt" imposed by France to Haiti. @amnesty.org joins activists & orgs from Haiti and its diaspora to urge France to address the enduring harmful effects of the debt and provide reparations.

In June 2023, #Nahel was shot at short range by a police officer in France. Today, the prosecutor requests a trial for murder. The death of the French-Algerian teenager triggered massive protests & unrests against longstanding racist policing. This was met with heavy repression by the authorities.

While No Other Land won an Oscar, the Palestinian community of Shi’b Al-Butum in #MasaferYatta is at imminent risk of forcible transfer due to increasing state-backed settler attacks, home demolitions, restrictions on access to land & illegal settlement expansion. www.amnesty.org/en/latest/ne...

New @amnestyuk.bsky.social report on a phenomenon at the core of racist policing in many countries. Imposing a “crime label” based on racist data keeps feeding the cycle of harm. Read about the stories of people having their life impacted because of the use of racist data by the police.

🚨 Table ronde importante à venir le 4 Mars au sujet du conflit en #RDC 🇨🇩 Des experts et activistes congolais ainsi que le député Carlos Martens Bilongo. Beaucoup disent ne pas comprendre ce qu’il se passe, alors informons nous en suivant cette table ronde. Pas d’excuses pour ignorer ce conflit.

Here is our @amnesty.org message to European leaders: Stop punishing Palestinian solidarity, start punishing those who commit genocide! Read here my latest OpEd for the @indyvoices.bsky.social 👇https://www.independent.co.uk/voices/gaza-palestine-germany-protest-police-ban-arabic-b2696733.html

Imam Hendricks fought tirelessly for the rights of the LGBTI people, despite reportedly receiving regular death threats. His legacy will live on. There must be a prompt, effective and thorough investigation into his murder.

German authorities must stop their crackdown on speech and protests and the discriminatory restriction of freedom of expression and peaceful assembly. #ProtectTheProtest ✊

Medine, Mennel, Rima, Merwane. La liste est longue et le procédé toujours le même. Ce pays est tout simplement invivable pour nous autres.

In a joint letter to European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen, @amnesty.org joined 162 civil society organizations and trade unions in calling on the EU to ban trade and business with Israel’s illegal settlements in the Occupied Palestinian Territory. www.amnesty.eu/news/israel-...

Today was the launch of #TheHagueGroup with the mission to end Israel’s impunity. “The aim of the nine-nation Hague Group – which includes Colombia, Bolivia, Chile, Senegal and Namibia - is to defend the institutions and rulings of the international legal order.” www.theguardian.com/law/2025/jan...

In London, you can watch this play based on Les Années d’Annie Ernaux. This book is a reference for many. Annie Ernaux has been supporting every struggles and been a constant vocal figure of the French left. Five women playing across the decades. It’s about the collective, being a woman and time.

We will never fully comprehend what we witnessed for the last 15 months.

“For Palestinians who have lost countless loved ones; in many cases had their entire families wiped out or seen their homes reduced to rubble, an end to the fighting does not begin to repair their shattered lives or heal their trauma.” @amnesty.org www.amnesty.org/en/latest/ne...

For the people of Gaza. The struggle to end the genocide and the apartheid in Palestine continues. Justice and repair in our lifetime. It’s on all of us.

Les vraies raisons du LFI bashing

This is genocide. @amnesty landmark new report concludes today that Israel is committing genocide against Palestinians in Gaza. To read the full report ‘You Feel Like You Are Subhuman’ and learn the extent of evidence and legal analysis ⬇️ www.amnesty.org/en/latest/ne...

In a historic move, Belgium has been convicted of crimes against humanity for acts committed during colonization which must signal as a turning point for European States, said African Futures Lab and @amnesty today. www.afalab.org/news/2024-12...

Protéger ceux qui commettent les crimes. Punir celles et ceux qui les dénoncent.

France announces immunity applies for Nethanyahu and Gallant regarding the ICC arrest warrants. Shame does not even begin to describe this decision. www.diplomatie.gouv.fr/fr/dossiers-...

A signé. Plein soutien à Maboula Soumahoro.

✍️ Vous pouvez signer la pétition exigeant le maintien l’intervention de Maboula Soumahoro au Parlement Européen contre l’extrême droite. Déjà plus de 5000 signataires ! speakout.lemouvement.ong/campaigns/ne...

Une tragédie de bout en bout.

Enfin. L’enjeu est vraiment là. L’armée israélienne repose en nombre sur les américains et le français. Il n’y a aucune justification pour la France ayant des citoyens participant à des crimes de guerre, contre l’humanité et génocide de ne pas utiliser la voie judiciaire contre eux.

On va encore se régaler!

If I can encourage all of you to find a way to watch this movie: Soundtrack to a Coup d'Etat. At the core is the story of the assassination of Patrice Lumumba.

“Prime Minister Netanyahu is now officially a wanted man" - Amnesty's Agnes Callamard Netanyahu must face justice at the International Criminal Court for charges of war crimes and crimes against humanity committed by #Israel in the Occupied Palestinian Territory www.amnesty.org/en/latest/ne...

Responding to the ICC warrants, @amnesty: "Today’s arrest warrants represent a historic breakthrough for justice and must signal the beginning of the end of the persistent and pervasive impunity at the heart of the human rights crisis." #Palestine #Israel www.amnesty.org/en/latest/ne...

Are we supposed to post the same thing in both platforms? Like what is the plan. getting overwhelmed with the double feeds situation in Apartheid boy's platform and here.

Can't wait to see European States (especially Germany) contortionism about the ICC warrants. International law mechanisms are probably not providing justice to Palestinian people as it should but it has the merits to put Western countries in front of their deep deep hypocrisy.

Amnesty's campaigners, researchers, advocates, and law and policy experts are making the move to Bluesky. Here are some of them. Please share and let me know if you want to be added. go.bsky.app/7L1j1TF
