More than 1,300 people have been executed in #Iran in 2025 - the highest figure recorded in decades. Thousands more are at risk as Iranian authorities continue to weaponize the death penalty. At @amnesty.org we call on the international community to take urgent action to stop this horror.

Happy Friday! ICYMI, Spain approved a plan to grant legal status to thousands of migrants this week. This smart, workable & humane initiative is a rare silver lining in today's toxic politics on migration. Other EU member states should take note!

Aloys Bigirumwami, Bahati Nshangalume and Patient Basimike Bukombe Barhuze are Congolese men from eastern DRC. They are just 3 of countless people forcibly disappeared by fighters from Rwanda-backed M23 armed group in the midst of the current armed conflict. (2/4)

Grateful to Juliana Miranda, from CELS for the UNGA 1C statement on Torture-Free Trade. This is a human rights issue, and an export control trade issue - at the heart of it though is the prevention of torture - more action is needed from states to end the trade in tools of torture.

The current U.S. administration seeks to damage climate action in the U.S. and globally; strong resistance from governments and people is key to safeguarding our collective future. www.amnesty.org/en/latest/ca...

Despite the stark challenges currently facing humanity, we continue to witness how people from all over the world are demonstrating the importance of activism and the life-changing power of solidarity. Here are some stories of hope and humanity to end the year 🕯️ amn.st/63328CjBlY

Human induced climate change has deepened Somalia’s UNnatural drought – and with it, a human rights crisis. Communities in southern and central Somalia are paying the price for a crisis they did not create. Read our new report out now:

Instead of silencing those who demand action, authorities in Delhi should be doing everything possible to protect people from toxic air. #ProtectTheProtest

Our new report, out now: www.amnesty.org/en/latest/ne...

- 1 in 4 people globally live within 5km of fossil fuel infrastructure. - More than 16% of global fossil fuel infrastructure sits on Indigenous territories. - Despite global commitments to #DefossilizeNow, the fossil fuel industry is thriving around the world. This is #ExtractionExtinction.

More than 1,000 people have been executed in Iran so far this year - the highest since 1989. UN member states must urgently speak up and demand that the Iranian authorities immediately halt all executions.

This is a win for women's rights in Japan, easing access to essential reproductive healthcare. Over 90 countries now have the morning after pill available without the need for prescription 🎉

Russia’s relentless attack that is destroying Ukraine’s energy system, which is indispensable to the survival of civilian population, is unlawful. Intentionally depriving civilians of electricity, heating and water is a clear violation of international humanitarian law.

The Guinean authorities must immediately guarantee the human rights of Soguipah workers and smallholder planters affiliated with the state-owned company, and investigate widespread abuses particularly regarding workers’ right to decent work.

This is another stark reminder of how Russia’s strikes devastate civilian life in Ukraine.

Pressure is mounting for Israel to release many more detainees as part of the U.S.-backed Gaza ceasefire deal, including Dr. Hussam Abu Safiya, director of Gaza’s Kamal Adwan Hospital, who has been held under harsh conditions without charge since December,

Dr. Hussam Abu Safiya has been added to the list of those approved for release, though he has not yet been freed.

Dr. Hussam Abu Safiya was the director of the last major functioning health facility in northern Gaza when it was attacked by Israel.

Human rights advocates and healthcare workers are still calling for the release of Dr. Hussam Abu Safiya, director of Gaza's Kamal Adwan Hospital, who has been detained under harsh conditions by Israel for nearly a year.

Release Dr. Hussam Abu Safiya!

🚨 Today we have launched the ‘Breaking up with Big Tech’ briefing which calls on governments to rein in the power of big technology companies in order to protect human rights. amn.st/63326f4SHp

It’s been 3 years since the UN issued a report on China’s serious human rights violations in the Uyghur region. Yet many Uyghur families remain separated, silenced, and searching for justice. Governments must act now to end repression in the Uyghur region and ensure a process for accountability.

Let us be clear 📢

Big Tech or big technology companies like Meta, Google, Microsoft, Amazon, and Apple influence how we access and interact on the internet. Here's why Big Tech companies are a threat to human rights ⬇️

Indonesian authorities must respect, protect and facilitate people’s right of peaceful assembly and ensure an independent and impartial investigation into these deaths.

Israel is carrying out a deliberate campaign of starvation in the occupied Gaza Strip, systematically destroying the health, well-being and social fabric of Palestinian life. Read more:

Hundreds of people march in Aberystwyth forming Red Line for Palestine ... A message of solidarity from Wales to Palestine pembrokeshire-herald.com/117888/hundr...

This Saturday 26 July, Aberystwyth will become the stage for one of Wales’ most powerful visual protests for Palestine. Hundreds from across the country will gather to hold a 500-metre ‘Red Line’ – a striking symbol of defiance against Israel’s genocide in Gaza and its occupation of Palestine.

Israel is starving Gaza to death. Palestinians there write of people collapsing in the street, their bodies “breaking down,” of feeling “constantly weak” and mostly staying silent because “talking uses up to much energy.” redlineforgaza.eaction.org.uk
