#Sudan: UN experts horrified by scale & brutality of RSF crimes & sadistic levels of sexual violence in El Fasher. RSF's ethnically targeted crimes clearly "done with intent of terrorizing, displacing & destroying them in whole or in part." 👇 www.ohchr.org/en/press-rel... @eudiplomacy.bsky.social

We met Pastor Gábor Iványi with @hrw.org colleagues in 2018 at his Budapest church. Truly shocking he is once again under attack. #Hungary authorities should drop charges against Iványi & stop harassment against him & his church. www.hrw.org/news/2025/11... @michaelmcgratheu.bsky.social

The Chinese government reached around the globe to shut down a film festival in New York City. This latest act of transnational repression demonstrates the Chinese government’s aim to control what the world sees and learns about China. www.hrw.org/news/2025/11...

Despite @kajakallas.bsky.social @hadjalahbib.bsky.social statement after #RSF capture of El Fasher, #EU still falling short of condemning #RSF atrocities. Time to be serious about #Sudan #Darfur crisis, call out #UAE's support & sanction #RSF top leaders. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

#USA unlawful strikes on vessels ashore Latin-American coasts may amount to int'l crimes - say UN Experts. @eudiplomacy.bsky.social shouldn't turn blind eye when Trump admin flouts int'l law, but press it to end unlawful attacks. EU's credibility is at stake. www.ohchr.org/en/press-rel...

At the 4th #EU–#CELAC Summit, leaders should tackle key human rights challenges in both regions: 🔵Back rights-based responses to crime & violence 🔵Defend democracy & fundamental rights 🔵Act on climate & environmental harm 🔵Support the bi-regional care pact Our letter: www.hrw.org/news/2025/11...

#Sudan: UN Human Rights office estimates in the 100s number of summarily executions since #RSF capture of El Fasher. Weak @eudiplomacy.bsky.social statements won't end crimes. Condemning crimes, sanctioning RSF leaders & exposing #UAE role can be key to stop them. www.ohchr.org/en/press-bri...

An anti-drug police operation in low-income neighborhoods of Rio de Janeiro has resulted in more than 100 killings. Rio authorities’ decisions leading to such a disastrous operation should be investigated. Families of victims deserve truth and justice.

My colleagues' @demontcl.bsky.social & @benjeannerod.bsky.social 's op-ed with for @hrw.org: Paris conference should bridge the gap between rhetoric & reality in Great Lakes & deliver justice for Congolese who’ve suffered decades of conflict. www.hrw.org/news/2025/10... @eudiplomacy.bsky.social

#TransnationalRepression is not just a most cruel practice by authoritarian governments going after those who fled oppression. It also undermines democracy wherever it takes place - including in #Europe. Check @merics.bsky.social's piece with #China in focus 👇 merics.org/en/comment/e...

Mass atrocities by #RSF since capture of El Fasher #Darfur #Sudan should be wake up call for the world. @eudiplomacy.bsky.social should 📢Condemn RSF crimes & their backers, including #UnitedArabEmirates ✍️Sanction RSF top leaders ⛑️Press for measures to protect civilians www.hrw.org/news/2025/10...

Today is 1st #EU-#Tunisia Association Council since @vonderleyen.ec.europa.eu 's migration deal in July 2023. Since, #Tunisia fell more deeply into repression. #EU should make clear failure to release pol detainees & end crackdown will lead to political consequences. www.hrw.org/news/2025/05...

Reports of killings, serious violations already emerge from #RSF captured El-Fasher #Darfur #Sudan. Risk of large-scale, ethnically motivated atrocities is mounting. Urgent action needed to protect civilians, ensure safe passage - UN Human Rights Chief 👇 www.ohchr.org/en/press-rel...

After months of brutal siege, reports of #RSF capture of El-Fasher #Darfur raise serious concerns of mass atrocities against civilians. @eudiplomacy.bsky.social should urge #RSF to protect civilians, allow safe movement or face severe sanctions & accountability. #Sudan www.bbc.com/news/article...

Generally other way around: UN expert echoes #EU' #FAC conclusions calls for measures to protect civilians & accountability. Add call by AU's inquiry for peacekeeping mission & you have chorus of voices putting civilian protection first. www.ohchr.org/en/press-rel... @eudiplomacy.bsky.social

🚨UN special rapporteur on migrant rights calls for @ec.europa.eu & others externalizing their migration policies to do full due diligence, independently monitor violations & end programs tied to abuses. Not doing so is isn't just bad policy - it's also complicity. www.ohchr.org/en/press-rel...

New report: DHS used excessive force on protesters, medics, observers & media at protests outside ICE facility in #Illinois. This isn’t crowd control: it’s intimidation. Should raise @eudiplomacy.bsky.social concerns in context of erosion of rights protection in USA. www.hrw.org/news/2025/10...

New @hrw report: The Taliban is systematically dismantling Afghanistan's media landscape through intimidation, threats & arbitrary arrests of journalists. Media workers in precarious situations in exile fear forcible return to Afghanistan & persecution. www.hrw.org/news/2025/10...

By embedding #LGBTIQ+ equality in #EU external action, the new strategy positions the EU as a global defender of LGBTIQ+ rights. Next step: turn ambitions into action through political will, adequate funding, enforcement mechanisms, and implementation at home & abroad. www.hrw.org/news/2025/10...

Moroccans are claiming their human rights and calling for an end to corruption. Will King Mohamed VI deliver on his promise to create jobs and improve health care and education? Will his government investigate the use of lethal force by the police against protestors? Read👇 https://bit.ly/4hgLq3h

Human rights & accountability for atrocities on civilians should be key for #Gaza ceasefire process. A reminder of why @kajakallas.bsky.social & @vonderleyen.ec.europa.eu should stand firm on proposals for #EU action in response to atrocities & against perpetrators. www.ohchr.org/en/press-rel...

Multilateral human rights institutions remain key to scrutinize violations & address pleas of victims of abuses. @euatun.bsky.social's leadership for accountability in #Afghanistan & engagement on other resolutions make key contributions to #HRC60's solid outcomes. www.hrw.org/news/2025/10...

Beijing arrested dozens of pastors, preachers, & members of Zion Church. Xi Jinping’s government appears intent on reshaping religious practice to serve the CCP’s interests, and congregations that fail to do so face harsh persecution. New from @hrw.org www.hrw.org/news/2025/10...

#Serbia's civil society to @vonderLeyen, after months of peaceful protests met w/ repression & threats: "Anchor Serbia’s EU path in real democratic progress." Von der Leyen's words should echo the voices of those who took the streets calling for reforms. www.politico.eu/newsletter/b...

Calls for changes by #Morocco 's #GenZ212 youth have been met by crackdown & repression, instead of engagement & talks. Morocco's authorities should respect right to peaceful protests & investigate excessive use of force. www.hrw.org/news/2025/10...

Protection of civilians, full aid access & accountability should be key under #Gaza ceasefire plan - says UN Human Rights chief. www.ohchr.org/en/press-rel... @eudiplomacy.bsky.social should stick to proposals to sanction those involved in crimes, ban trade w/ settlements & suspend EU #Israel deal

Talks around #Trump plan shouldn't serve as cover for atrocity crimes in #Israel and #Palestine. #EU leaders should stand by civilians, call for lifting of aid restrictions & release of all hostages, sanction those responsible for crimes & support accountability. www.hrw.org/news/2025/10...

🚨 @hrw.org reminds UN member states that justice & human rights for Palestinians can't wait for agreement on a peace deal. Govts must follow up on commitments they made at the UN last month to pressure #Israel to end atrocities in #Gaza & West Bank. New dispatch by me & @benjeannerod.bsky.social 👇

You'd expect #EU to stand for int'l justice as #Trump admin crushes ICC & groups working w/ it. Instead Brussels has offered less than minimum service. EU should call out US sanctions against ICC & Pal NGOs, use Blocking Statute to mitigate their impact. www.nytimes.com/2025/10/01/o...

Trump and Hegseth's remarks at an address to top military leaders this week raise grave concerns the administration will seek to deploy combat forces in domestic law enforcement roles—a brazen violation of US law, risking widespread human rights violations www.hrw.org/news/2025/10...

#Darfur #Sudan: UN Human Rights chief raise alarm at situation in & around besieged Al-Fasher. @kajakallas.bsky.social @hadjalahbib.bsky.social: EU should mobilize urgent action to protect civilians from ethnically-driven attacks, hold those responsible to account. www.ohchr.org/en/press-rel...
