Join me tomorrow - we’ll be talking about #UniversalJurisdiction in the United States, including the recent prosecution of Michael Sang Correa. #CorreaUSATrial

🚨Next Friday, a Denver judge will hold a sentencing hearing for Michael Correa, who was convicted for torture in 🇬🇲The Gambia. Correa’s victims will speak on the impact of the torture, in a crucial step towards justice for survivors & Gambian society. ⚖️

We must as Americans stop arming Israel. And Israelis must bring down Netanyahu. May the memory of Anas Al Sharif and the memories of all who died on October 7 and beyond be for more than a blessing. May their memories pressure us to move beyond the horror of the present to end this war and rebuild

Letter of the day (in the Times)

Another deadly airstrike in Myanmar. #Myanmar junta jets bombed Mawchi village tract in Karenni, killing 5 women and a man, all civilians. Junta also bombed Hsipaw, Shan State, killing two civilians. 🛑 These are war crimes. ❌⛽ Sanction aviation fuel. Cut the supply chains enabling these attacks!

🚨BREAKING: Today's Supreme Court judgment is disappointing. Make no mistake, legal gender recognition is a human right. We all have the right to live free from discrimination and fear. Trans rights are human rights.

@ChinHumanRights’ interview with @ChannelNewsAsia calling for international aid to be channeled via non-junta entries to avoid the aid being weaponised by the junta for its own benefit #WhatsHappeningInMyanmar

The Myanmar junta has exploited every disaster while causing the country’s worst man-made crisis. It’s vital to bypass the regime when delivering aid and ensure help goes directly to the victims, not the perpetrators.#AidVictimsNotKillers

Myanmar military jets and paramotors have been conducting airstrikes post-earthquake as the junta seeks global aid for victims. ❌ These airstrikes must be stopped to ensure safe aid delivery. Governments should act now to save lives.

“Burma is a living hell right now, but nobody seems to care...So we have to keep reporting about it.” 🎙️ says a Myanmar journalist in exile. Adding to the long list of immense challenges, #Myanmar journalists now have to overcome funding cuts.

On #WorldSocialJusticeDay, we highlight the systemic reproductive violence inflicted on Palestinian women in Gaza. These are not just tragedies; they are crimes. The fight for gender justice is a fight for social justice. Read more: 4genderjustice.org/our-latest-p...

As the European Parliament's DROI delegation prepared for its first-ever visit to Burma in 2013, CHRO was invited to testify before the Subcommittee on Human Rights in Brussels, underscoring its credibility and consistent advocacy for religious freedom in Burma. youtu.be/iZbwTlMoDDg?...

Trump declared himself above the law today. Literally announced it. Pinned it to his feed for emphasis. The White House reposted it. All to underscore it’s not some passing thought, which would be bad enough. It’s not the top story on any news site that I can find. !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

In Myanmar, the Chin Human Rights Organization, which employs health professionals who went on strike following the military’s seizure of power in 2021, has laid off 30 percent of its workforce since the freeze www.chinhumanrights.org/reuters-u-s-...

The statements on Gaza combined with the new sanctions against the ICC, send a signal that the US, under Trump, “is moving further from being a supporter of international criminal justice to being a perpetrator of injustice” Some thoughts for CNN on ICC Sanctions edition.cnn.com/2025/02/07/w...

Several years ago, in an interview the Guardian censored, Judith Butler predicted that "Terfs will not be part of the contemporary struggle against fascism." Janice Turner and The Times have proven Judith right. (Thanks to @2damntrans.bsky.social for the reminder).

Georgian authorities are doubling down on media and civil society groups, putting forward a range of new restrictions apparently inspired by US President Donald Trump’s foreign aid freeze.

🇺🇸 I urge the #USG to facilitate and protect the right to freedom of peaceful assembly for the rallies and protests that will be happening this week in Washington DC and other cities. 1/

Why does the ICC matter & how can it be defended against looming US sanctions? HRW's International justice experts Liz Evenson & Richard Dicker explain everything: from its creation to current attacks & how they threaten the hope for justice for countless victims & survivors globally. Tune in⤵️
