@ishr.ch analysed the Secretary-General's revised UN budget proposal for 2026 released this week, the data is clear: human rights, chronically underfunded, are disproportionately targeted. States must reverse cuts, adequately fund human rights. ishr.ch/latest-updat...

@ishr.ch strongly condemns the targeting of relatives of Hong Kong exiled activist Anna Kwok, in severe escalation of repression by Hong Kong authorities. We urge governments to provide robust public responses. We stand in full solidarity with Anna Kwok and all victims of transnational repression.

Really pleased to launch this new report: based on extensive data, we expose Beijing's strategy to silence, deter and block NGOs at the UN. The report was widely covered in today's investigation on China's transnational repression by @icij.org, @theguardian.com, @lemonde.fr, @elpais.com and others.

BREAKING - 'Authorities in Managua can try and hide, but sooner or later, whether it’s in New York or in Geneva, they will have to explain themselves before the international community.' @ishr.ch ishr.ch/latest-updat...

BREAKING: Landslide victory for Human Rights Council vote to renew for 2 years mandates of UN Human Rights Office and Group of Experts (GHREN) investigating Nicaragua's crimes agst humanity. With Nicaragua leaving HRC, the text crucially mandates GHREN now to also present to UNGA in NYC. @ishr.ch

Earlier today, the UK called at the UN Human Rights Council for the release of #HuangXueqin, #JimmyLai and other arbitrarily detained activists, lawyers, journalists in China and Hong Kong. @ishr.ch echoes the call for their immediate release, as repeatedly urged by many UN experts over past years.

Between January 1, 2019 & December 31, 2024, authorities sentenced 1,422 PoCs to prison in mainland #China and 123 individuals in #HongKong in violation of their #humanrights. Read the details here in new @chrdnet.bsky.social research: www.nchrd.org/2025/03/in-a...

Two separate #UN bodies have now warned that #China ’s arbitrary detention practices may constitute #CrimesAgainstHumanity. This alarming pattern calls for independent investigations into #Beijing ’s atrocities, says @sophiedrich.bsky.social Read our full report: www.nchrd.org/2025/03/chin...

Ahead of Intl Women's Day #IWD2025, @ishr.ch partnered with Chinese feminist activists in a statement to the UN Human Rights Council to pay tribute to their work, 30 years after the Beijing Conference on Women and 10 years after China's crackdown on the 'Feminist Five.' ishr.ch/latest-updat...

In 2022, the UN committee on racial discrimination issued a key decision on the plight of Uyghurs, referring for the first time ever the situation to the UN Office on Genocide Prevention and R2P (UNOSAPG). Two+ years after, we need substantive action by UNOSAPG. @ishr.ch ishr.ch/latest-updat...

It is ludicrous that on the heels of taking its seat as a Human Rights Council member, Thailand chose to ignore compelling UN evidence and instead pointed to Beijing ‘reassurances’ that no harm would be done to the deported Uyghurs. @ishr.ch ishr.ch/latest-updat...

@ishr.ch &30+ human rights groups from Europe, North America, Latin America, Africa, Asia, stand in solidarity with human rights defenders in China five years after the 'Xiamen Gathering' crackdown. Full statement in English, Chinese, Spanish. #FreeXuZhiyong #FreeDingJiaxi ishr.ch/latest-updat...

URGENT: UN experts urge Thailand to immediately stop deporation of 48 Uyghurs to China, warning that the group was at real risk of torture or ill-treatment if they are returned. @ishr.ch @uyghurcongress.bsky.social @uyghurproject.bsky.social

This is a horrifying prospect. The deportation of Uyghurs in Thailand to the PRC is such a flagrant breach of the principle of non-refoulement.

🇨🇳 Friday has been 100 days since Chinese journalist #ZhangZhan was rearrested, a mere months after completion an earlier four-year arbitrary prison sentence for her independent reporting. Now she faces up to 5 more years in prison for “picking quarrels and provoking trouble.” #FreeZhangZhan!
