🧵 This is the sad state of the world. The president of the US is not only hosting a man who his own intelligence agency says approved the murder of a journalist, but he discredits another journalist when she asked legitimate questions about it.

🧵New report shows how migrant workers behind the #RiyadhMetro system have been subjected to a decade of devastating abuse This is one of several flagship projects in #SaudiArabia, which also incl the 2034 World Cup, and illustrates the risk of abuse in the construction sector

#Venezuela: It’s unacceptable that the authorities continue to withhold information about the whereabouts of Jorgen Guanares after more than 15 months. He’s a political activist, presumed to have been detained since 02.08.24. We demand to know where he is and how he is!

🧵 Amnesty International has accompanied the indigenous Ava Guaraní Paranaense at #COP30. They were dispossessed of their ancestral territory due to the construction and operation of the Itaipú hydroelectric dam on the border of #Brazil and #Paraguay.

🧵 The Irish Football Association (FAI) has voted to suspend the Israeli Football Association (IFA) from European football, for the following reasons: ➡️ allowing clubs from illegal settlements to play in its leagues ➡️ failure to enforce an effective anti-racism policy.

🌎 COP30 will soon begin in Belém, Brazil, bringing together world leaders, scientists, NGOs, and civil society members to discuss action on climate change. This year's summit, which marks the 10th anniversary of the Paris Agreement, comes at a critical moment.

🧵The leaders gathered at the #EU-#CELAC summit cannot forget the people detained and forcibly disappeared in #Venezuela. Nor the 800+ people attacked by the government in a systematic pattern of repression against dissent. www.amnesty.org/es/latest/ne...

Vi samla 55 organisasjoner, hele bredden av norsk sivilsamfunn, for å fortelle hva som må ivaretas nå. Lite visste vi at Jens allerede hadde gjort ferdig denne prosessen lenge før vedtaket på tirsdag. Uansett stolt over at vi klarer å stå sammen om så klare krav. Bør være verdt å lytte til.

Latin American and European leaders meet in the coming days amid mounting crises & pushback against human rights. The EU-CELAC summit will be a crucial opportunity to promote and protect human rights in both regions and worldwide. www.amnesty.eu/news/europe-...

🧵 Skal FIFA dele ut fredspris? Vil Trump bli tildelt prisen? Man må spørre seg hva slags moralsk autoritet FIFA, med sin skrekkelige menneskerettshistorikk, har til å dele ut en fredspris. www.dagbladet.no/sport/vil-ik...

In November, states, experts, journalists, climate activists, and representatives will gather in Belém, Brazil for COP30, the 30th annual United Nations climate change conference. Here are three things to know about Brazil, COP30 host ⤵️

The former Afghan Women's National Football Team, now known as Afghan Women United, took the field last week for their first games in four years. Their return after the Taliban banned all sports for women and girls is a victory for human rights.

🧵There is ample evidence that the UAE (and other States or companies through their relationship with the UAE) is fuelling the war in #Sudan. Below, I’ll link to some of Amnesty International’s findings. www.wsj.com/world/how-u-...

#Qatar’s “peace diplomacy”, across the world, (as well as its financial “cleverness) has prompted the whole world to ignore its government’s human rights abuses. From Colombia to Norway governments are tippitoing around systematic rights abuses in Qatar. www.politico.com/news/2025/11...

#Palantir slår forventningene. Det betyr at Norge tjener mer på folkemord, ulovlig okkupasjon og tvangsdeportasjoner av migranter, asylsøkere og flyktninger. e24.no/boers-og-fin...

🧵Today, the World #SocialSummit2025 is kicking off. The aim is to “accelerate action on poverty eradication, the promotion of full employment and decent work, and social inclusion”. Unbelievably, it is hosted by #Qatar, where migrant workers are exploited and abused.

"Qatar's cynicism is unbelievable," writes @frankctangberg.bsky.social on the eve of the World Social Summit. "It is difficult to imagine a country where the government's policies stand in sharper contrast to the UN's ambitions for decent work than Qatar." www.panoramanyheter.no/amnesty-gulf...

🧵 ABC Nyheter har skrevet en sak om farene ved å arrangere fotball-VM i #SaudiArabia i 2034. Vi advarte om at folk ville dø som følge av dette mesterskapet når det ikke ble iverksatt tiltak for å beskytte menneskerettighetene. www.abcnyheter.no/sport/bygger...

Manuel was released, fortunately. Thanks for sharing! We will continue to call for the release of all those arbitrarily detained in #Venezuela

🚨Our colleague Manuel Finol has been arbitrarily detained by the Military Intelligence Directorate at Caracas airport #Venezuela, when he was about to travel. We demand his IMMEDIATE and unconditional release Manuel is a human rights defender

🧵Den dødeligste politioperasjonen i Rio de Janeiros historie illustrerer at delstatens sikkerhetspolitikk er en fiasko. Den gjennomsyrede voldelige tilnærmingen har etterlatt et blodbad og en skrekkslagen befolkning, ikke trygghet.

🧵There aren’t any doubts - these attacks are illegal and amount to extrajudicial executions.

#Venezuela 🇻🇪 We celebrate the release and return of at least 17 Colombians who were arbitrarily detained Danner Barajas, also Colombian, remains forcibly disappeared We demand that his whereabouts be reported, and that he is released and returned to his country immediately

As Brazil gears up to host COP30, there's a unique opportunity to drive a just transition. For Latin America, the just transition must be built around communities, not extracted from them. New in our Road to #COP30 series, from BHRRC's Americas team: www.business-humanrights.org/en/blog/cop3...

🧵Amidst tensions between the US and Venezuela, and debate around this year’s #NobelPeacePrize winner, we shouldn’t forget that Venezuelans are experiencing a human rights crisis. One component of that repression is the use of surveillance to identify and arrest people.
