“Njeem’s reported arrest in Libya is a chance for authorities to demonstrate a genuine commitment to justice by cooperating with the ICC.” - @hanansalah.bsky.social @hrw.org calls on #Libya to do what Italy wouldn't: surrender an #ICC suspect to The Hague: www.hrw.org/news/2026/03...

Libyan authorities should urgently surrender Osama Elmasry Njeem to the @IntlCrimCourt where he is wanted for murder, torture, rape. For too long, those responsible for grave abuses in Libya have been allowed to evade accountability. Time to flip the script. www.hrw.org/news/2026/03...

Syrian transitional authorities have taken positive steps on justice, transparency, and rights but failed to prevent continued violence and atrocities. Syrian authorities should credibly address outstanding concerns around security sector reform www.hrw.org/news/2025/12...

This month, Altético Madrid and Inter Milan played a friendly match in Benghazi International Stadium, hosted by Khalifa Hiftar, commander of the abusive LAAF. Sports clubs should be wary of burnishing the image of human rights-abusing states and entities. hrw.org/news/2025/10...

2nd time EU human rights Commissioner rebukes Germany for restrictions on protests & excessive use of force by law enforcement incl. in Berlin, during protests on Gaza hostilities. Utterly shameful for EU member state to be criticised as a serial violator of human rights www.coe.int/en/web/commi...

🚩Yesterday Saudi authorities executed Abdullah al-Derazi for alleged crimes committed as a child. Saudi authorities reached two horrific milestones: the 300th execution of 2025 & the 2nd execution of a person accused of committing crimes as a child. @hrw.org www.hrw.org/news/2025/10...

Les Marocain·ne·s revendiquent leurs droits et réclament la fin de la corruption. Le roi Mohamed VI va-t-il tenir sa promesse de créer des emplois et d'améliorer les systèmes de santé et d'éducation? Et son gouvernement enquêter sur l'usage de la force létale par la police contre les manifestants?

Morocco's youth have clear-cut demands for better healthcare, education & end to corruption. If the government can fund state-of-the art stadiums, it can afford to fund its healthcare. Calls for reform should not be met with repression, lethal force @hrw.org www.hrw.org/news/2025/10...

Great profile of Mansour bin Zayed, the owner of Manchester City, who has been key to covert UAE military support for Haftar in Libya and Hemedti in Sudan - and whose Mubadala wealth fund recently announced "it would use a Trump family crypto venture to make a $2 billion transaction".

Together with our partners, we urge all #EU Member States & the @ec.europa.eu to: ❌halt arms transfers ❌sanction those responsible for ongoing atrocity crimes ❌suspend the trade agreement with Israel Under the Genocide Convention, EU states are bound to act. Learn more: bit.ly/4eapcyB

Ahead of EU foreign ministers meeting, 110+ NGOs & trade unions urge suspension of the #EU - #Israel Association Agreement Under the #Genocide Convention, EU states are bound to act. Signatories "appalled" it took so long for the EU to launch review of the agreement: hrw.org/news/2025/06...

Hundreds of thousands have marched this weekend in Paris, The Hague, Brussels and elsewhere across Europe for a cause that should enjoy broad societal consensus: to stop deliberate starvation, ethnic cleansing, genocide. But in Germany, such broad-based mobilization remains wholly unthinkable.

Libya's fragmented & polarised justice sector suppresses fundamental freedoms, obstructs accountability. Authorities should urgently overhaul judiciary, reform repressive legislation, end military trials of civilians, arrest ICC suspects. New @hrw.org report: www.hrw.org/news/2025/06...

“Civilians caught in the Tripoli fighting are once again bearing the brunt of reckless, unaccountable armed groups who show utter disregard for the lives of people when they fire heavy weapons in residential areas.” - @hanansalah.bsky.social on #Libya www.hrw.org/news/2025/05...

US: Don’t Forcibly Transfer Migrants to Libya www.hrw.org/news/2025/05...

The Trump administration may be poised to deport an unknown number of detained migrants to Libya. The US should not forcibly transfer migrants to Libya, where inhumane detention conditions are well-documented. Read more: bit.ly/3GNqP8Q

The EU has been shamefully silent on escalating repression in Tunisia, as authorities weaponize arbitrary detention and abusive prosecution. Tunisians are paying a steep price for the EU’s singular focus on migration and abandonment of human rights. euobserver.com/migration/ar...
