"Look at all this work. Look at this genocide.” Intoxicated by impunity, RSF fighters brag about their atrocities in el-Fasher. www.bbc.com/news/article...

“Trump’s aid cuts are killing far more Nigerian Christians than Islamic terrorists are.” Some uncomfortable truths from @NickKristof www.nytimes.com/2025/11/08/o...

It’s strangely appropriate that Britain’s Imperial War Museum is housed in “Bedlam” - a notorious former mental asylum. Humanity is still failing to learn from the bloody wars, industrialized mass murder and atrocities of the last century.

Getting caffeinated, cultured, and catching up with Ryan D’Souza all at once inside the British Museum (the most impressive collection of stolen goods in the world).

Always great to catch up with @amnesty.org colleagues in London. Amnesty International are an essential component of the global struggle to uphold human rights and humanitarianism.

Mamdani: "New York will remain a city of immigrants, a city built by immigrants, powered by immigrants, and as of tonight, led by an immigrant."

Vote. Where ever you are. When ever you can.

A new low - statistically and morally. Pres Trump sets lowest refugee admission target in US history and prioritizes white Afrikaners from South Africa. #NotRefugees www.nytimes.com/2025/10/30/u...

No one in #Tanzania believes the president actually got 98% of the vote. Disproportionate and deadly force by the security forces has been unable to end the outrage of ordinary people. Time for Tanzania to choose another path before it’s too late. www.theguardian.com/world/2025/o...

Right now a massacre is taking place in El Fasher, Sudan beyond the world's television cameras or newspaper headlines.

You cannot just bury the past. Some good people in the United States remain determined to confront and learn from history. www.bbc.com/travel/artic...

Bloodstains so vast they are visible from space. Atrocities that should shame the conscience of the entire world. The RSF and their foreign sponsors must be held accountable for these crimes. Not 10 years from now, NOW. www.middleeasteye.net/news/satelli...

Illegitimate, unpopular and unable to govern, #Myanmar’s military junta prefers to bomb civilians and stage sham elections instead.

She has been arrested for exposing the sexual torture of a Palestinian detainee. But it is Netanyahu, his Ministers and Generals who belong in handcuffs. This industrial system of detention and torture is immoral and illegal. www.bbc.com/news/article...

“US bombing campaign” = extrajudicial killings.

The predatory RSF militia have taken control of El Fasher in Darfur, #Sudan, leading to widespread reports of atrocities, including at a hospital. Urgent intervention is needed to protect civilians and prevent further massacres. www.globalr2p.org/publications...

Up until 2025, if you were seeking protection in the United States, it took years, even decades. And while this process helped only a tiny percentage of refugees, it was still possible via the Refugee Admissions Program or by applying for asylum at the border.

When you are 79 years old but you think the cognitive function test is actually an IQ test and that you aced it. Sad.

The damage from the LRA's atrocities is deep and inter-generational. @cvt.org's latest report details the work we have been doing re: healing and justice amongst these long-suffering communities in northern Uganda.

Syria's most wanted. All of these war criminals belong in handcuffs. The international community should help ensure #Assad's top henchmen and “enforcers” are hunted down and face justice. www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

Refugees are in the United States legally after undergoing rigorous vetting processes across many government agencies. In fact, refugees are among the most documented people on earth. However, less than 1% of all refugees are ever resettled to the U.S.

South Sudan is on the brink of civil war… again. Without accountability this cycle of atrocities and pointless bloodshed by competing factions of warlords will continue. www.africanews.com/2025/10/24/r...

Since coming to power in 1982, Paul Biya has spent at least 1,645 days (over 4½ years) on extended stays overseas, mainly at the Intercontinental Hotel in Geneva. Meanwhile Cameroonians face armed conflict, extreme poverty and widespread human rights abuses. #Cameroon deserve better.

Another incredible morning of healing and hope as CVT celebrates another successful Restoring Hope Breakfast! While we recognize our 40th anniversary, we are grateful to all our supporters – you make a difference for survivors around the world! Thank you so much.

“CVT friends, supporters and sustainers have been CVT clients’ lifelines,” said Ruth Barrett, former vice president of global operations, in Part 2 of this article commemorating CVT’s 40th anniversary. Click to read more on our past and good wishes for our future. www.cvt.org/articles/cvt...

If you are in Minneapolis this week, as I am, the only place to be on Thursday morning at 8am is @cvt.org’s 40th anniversary “Restoring Hope Breakfast!” Come join the human rights defenders, humanitarian workers and just downright decent folks who support CVT. give.cvt.org/event/2025-r...

“Those who came to our very first clinic in Minnesota 40 years ago included people who had suffered unspeakable horrors and lost everything, often simply because they opposed tyranny and injustice,” said @simonadams.bsky.social, CVT president and CEO. Part 1 of 2: www.cvt.org/articles/cvt...

“Know your rights” cards handed out at the #NoKings rally in Brooklyn today.

Scenes from #NoKings protest in Brooklyn. Just one of 2700 protests across the US🇺🇸, involving 7 million people who reject creeping authoritarianism. So much humour and imagination, alongside the indignation, in the massive crowd. ❌👑❌

This is not an election. There will be no voting in half the country, and in areas controlled by the military junta, the opposition have been imprisoned. This is a futile propaganda exercise designed to legitimize an illegal, immoral and corrupt military dictatorship.

More than 2 decades after the crimes were committed, a historic judgement at the International Criminal Court finally breaks the cycle of impunity in #Sudan. More international accountability is desperately needed. www.globalr2p.org/publications...

ICE’s use of full-body restraints during deportations may constitute illegal and inhumane treatment of detainees. Necessary, or just more performative cruelty? www.visaverge.com/news/ices-fu...

After 4 years of failure on #Myanmar, ASEAN has one last chance to reject military dictatorship, ongoing atrocities and regional instability. All ASEAN countries must reject the junta’s sham election and uphold their responsibility to protect. www.channelnewsasia.com/asia/asean-m...

“If a torture-free trade treaty would spare even one person the horrors that we have experienced, it is worth any effort that doing so would require. World leaders can achieve this goal if they commit to it, and lives can be saved.” #TortureFreeTradeTreaty

We must end this detestable commerce in human cruelty. @cvt.org is proud to partner with @amnesty.org @omegarf.bsky.social and others in pursuit of a #TortureFreeTradeTreaty

A critical component of CVT’s work over four decades has been policy advocacy to support survivors, end torture and hold people accountable. Many key policy moments were influenced by CVT’s advocacy. Check out these key moments of our history.

Over CVT’s 40 years, we expanded to many countries, serving thousands of survivors. Many programs have since closed, but our hearts are with our colleagues and clients always.
