Happy Valentines Day <3 Reminder: human rights are love in action. Read Amnesty's analysis of the High Court ruling the government's proscription of Palestine Action unlawful: amn.st/63324hpKGQ

BREAKING: government’s decision to proscribe Palestine Action under terrorism law ruled UNLAWFUL This matters for everyone. For years, the right to protest has been under sustained and deliberate attack. Thousands of people have been arrested for something that should have never been a crime.

This is what hope looks like. @togetheralliance.bsky.social London launch this week. Join us. March 28th 2026. Central London.

Wes Streeting is right… Israel is committing war crimes against Palestinians. What is damning is that @wesstreeting-mp.bsky.social is part of a government that has continued business as usual with Israel despite its war crimes and genocide in Gaza.

"The only thing more powerful than hate is love." Bad Bunny at Super Bowl 🤝🏽 Grammys

"The only thing more powerful than hate is love." Bad Bunny's performance at the Super Bowl was historic in so many ways. In the UK, we are coming together on the 28th March to stand and fight for a society which focuses on unity, respect and love. Join us.

🚨BREAKING: British citizen & Hong Kong pro-democracy activist Jimmy Lai sentenced to 20 yrs in prison. Lai was charged with “collusion with a foreign country or external elements” under the Beijing's National Security Law. In reality, his case is an attack on press freedom & freedom of expression.

Amnesty UK is proud to join the Together Alliance 🕯️ We are coming together because we NEED to. We are made up of over one hundred civil society organisations - representing over 7 million people - united against hate, division and the far right.

Our right to protest must be defended. Please join Amnesty UK, Palestine Solidarity Campaign and many other groups to defend our right to protest.

Thank you Pep Guardiola for using your platform. Governments killing, displacing and dehumanising millions across the world want to make us think it's normal. But Guardiola is right. We can't look away. And we cannot accept it.

Thank you to the many artists - including Olivia Dean, Billie Eilish and Bad Bunny - for using their acceptance speeches at the Grammys to reject the rise in anti-immigration narratives and policies peddled by those in the media and in power.

Two years ago today, Hind Rajab was killed by Israeli forces. She was five years old. On 29th January 2024, Hind and her relatives were fired on by an Israeli tank when trying to flee to safety. Everyone in the vehicle was killed by the initial attack except Hind and her 15-year-old cousin, Layan.

"The Shoes on the Danube Promenade" is a memorial of 60 cast-iron shoes along the river’s bank in Budapest. It honours the thousands of Jewish people who, in the winter of 1944-1945, were shot on the banks of the Danube by members of the Arrow Cross Party – who collaborated with the Nazis.

Despite the internet blackout in Iran, reports & video footage show that the Iranian authorities have launched a bloody crackdown to crush the protests. The intl community should urgently act & stop further massacres of protesters in Iran. Add your name to the global petition: amn.st/6006CFpVp

The Amnesty Media Awards celebrate the vital role journalists play and the serious risks they face in highlighting human rights abuses around the world.

The ability to generate sexually explicit, non-consensual images using AI isn't just a matter of online safety - it strikes at the core of the right to dignity, privacy & equality. These technologies are fuelling misogyny & harassment when young people are already overwhelmed by women-hating content

The UK government signalling they may unblock arms sales to Israel is deeply troubling. Let’s not be fooled by talk of “ceasefires” or “peace.” Israel’s genocide in Gaza has not stopped. Killings have continued. The illegal blockade remains as does the system of apartheid.

The protests in Iran are the largest protests since the #WomanLifeFreedom uprising of 2022. The nationwide protests started in Tehran on 28 December, and quickly spread to other cities across the country. The international community must press the Iranian authorities to stop the bloodshed. 1/7🧵

We urge David Lammy to immediately authorise a senior official to meet with the legal representatives of Heba Muraisi & Kamran Ahmed - both on prolonged hunger strike & at extreme risk of death. Their representatives have repeatedly requested this meeting & it is now critical to prevent a tragedy.

Budour Hassan, Amnesty International's researcher for Israel and Occupied Palestinian Territory, shares her hopes for 2026 and why the ‘ceasefire’ does not mean the genocide against Palestinians has ended.

Thank you Louise! More of this defiance and solidarity in 2026 please… On 30th August 2025, Milton Keynes resident Louise explained why she was standing in solidarity with people seeking asylum

As 2025 draws to a close, we seek inspiration from the protests around the country in response to the Supreme Court ruling on 16 April 2025 which dealt a blow to the rights & dignity of trans people. Thousands upon thousands of people gathered to say: we'll always stand with trans people.

1,157 people have just been announced as receiving honours in the New Year Honours list. Here’s why Benjamin Zephaniah turned down his OBE (Order of the British Empire) in 2003.

On 28th June this year, thousands upon thousands of people came together to defy Hungary’s Prime Minister Viktor Orbán passing legislation to ban Pride and other protests supporting equal rights of LGBTI people. It was the largest march in Budapest Pride’s history.

On 5th July this year, Palestine Action was proscribed after a vote in Parliament invoking the Terrorism Act 2000. Since then, police have made over 2,700 arrests for peacefully protesting. These arrests are unlawful. Amnesty UK has intervened in the Judicial Review in the courts.

Palestinian journalists, like Wael Al-Dahdouh, put their lives on the line to record & report Israel's ongoing genocide in Gaza. Over 260 media professionals have been killed in occupied Gaza since Oct 2023. The targeting of journalists is a war crime, and each death must be investigated as such.

The arrest of Greta Thunberg for peacefully opposing genocide and supporting those on hunger strike is wrongful and disturbing. This is yet another shocking example of the UK’s broad terrorism laws being used to target those exercising their right to freedom of expression and assembly rights.

The Ghost of Christmas Future has a message for Keir Starmer. Alexei Sayle brings you his alternative Christmas message from the streets where Charles Dickens wrote A Christmas Carol.

Paul Thompson was murdered and British state collusion is suspected. The British state, like in other cases, is closing ranks against a grieving family seeking answers. We stand with them in the fight for truth and justice.

At least 20,179 children have been killed by Israeli forces in Gaza, according to the UN's latest reports. Children should be playing, learning & laughing - not part of a casualty list. They've been forced to grow up in unrelenting violence & suffering during Israel’s ongoing genocide in Gaza.

It is shocking that people have been pushed to take such serious action just to be heard. These events did not happen by accident. They are the result of the government misusing anti-terror laws.

61% of UK adults believe it should no longer be a crime for two or more sex workers to work together. And 53% of us agree that consensual sex work should be fully decriminalised. Sex work exists because poverty exists. Sex work must be decriminalised NOW.

Jimmy Lai's conviction is a blow to press freedom everywhere. In Hong Kong, the role of journalism in holding power to account is now treated as a crime. Jimmy Lai is a prisoner of conscience. The fight doesn't end here. We will not rest until justice prevails. ✊

When Ian McKellen asks, the Amnesty Shop delivers, making sure everyone knows where to get those last-minute presents.

Human rights were built for hard times, not rewrites when it suits the Government. Pushing to water down the European Convention on Human Rights on International Human Rights Day is a moral retreat, not a solution. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

“Of course it f**cking is.” This is Josh Widdicombe’s powerful response to those complaining about the Government scrapping the “two child limit” and helping bring an estimated 450,000 children out of poverty.

Facial recognition technology = mass human rights violations. Again and again, this technology has been proven to be discriminatory against racialised communities. Make no mistake: this is a decision to further entrench racism within policing.

This isn't a drama. It's a warning. The new BBC drama, Prisoner 951, tells the story of Richard and Nazanin’s fight for justice. Nazanin Zaghari-Ratcliffe and Anoosheh Ashoori were unjustly imprisoned in Iran, and Amnesty UK campaigned for their release.

🚨BREAKING: Dozens more people arrested for peaceful protest in Manchester. The protesters in Manchester were not inciting violence and it is absurd to be treating them as terrorists. These arrests are a violation of our rights to freedom of expression and assembly.

Yesterday King’s College London reported their student, Usama Ghanem, to the Home Office after they suspended him for protesting the genocide in Gaza. TW: Contains reference to sexual assault and murder.

Twenty-two years ago today Section 28 was repealed. But we're seeing history repeat itself as some in the media and in politics spread bigotry and misinformation about trans people. 1/8🧵

The European Convention on Human Rights protects every single one of us in the UK. Some politicians want to tear up these protections to distract us from the real problems affecting our daily lives.

History teaches us clearly: rights can be lost quickly if we don't defend them. Act now: amn.st/633227EWl4

Israeli authorities continue to illegally detain Palestinian health workers including Dr Hussam Abu Safiya. On Monday, UK healthcare workers, Healthcare Workers Watch & Health Workers4Palestine joined Amnesty activists to demand Palestinian health workers illegally detained in Israel are released.

Social security is a human right. When it's torn away fear and division fill the gap. amn.st/63329A7uPZ

🚨BREAKING: today UK healthcare workers were joined by Amnesty activists to demand the release of Dr Abu Safiya and all of the 105 Palestinian healthcare workers who remain illegally detained in Israeli prisons.
