With 4 million children living in poverty in the UK, lifting the two-child limit still doesn’t go far enough. The UK Government need to end all policies that are keeping children in poverty, such as the benefit cap and sanctions.

We’re demanding justice for Iranians. Attacks on civilians in Iran, whether by Iranian authorities or directed by authorities in Washington or Tel Aviv, must be stopped. The UK government must intensify diplomatic efforts to help prevent further military escalation and protect civilians.

On Trans Day of Visibility, we're celebrating Christine Goodwin & her historic victory at the European Court of Human Rights which led to the Gender Recognition Act 2004. Read about Christine's victory and what it meant for trans rights here👇🏽 amn.st/6003B6mBcS

On Saturday, half a million people came together not just to march against the far-right. But for a different type of society based on unity, respect and where we do what we did on the weekend: turn up to support each other. Thank you Imran Yusuf for telling us what Saturday's march meant to him.

Love trumps hate - every single day of the week. Thank you to the hundreds of Amnesty supporters who joined the historic demonstration against the far right. The estimated half a million people showed the power we have when we show up, together.

We are so thankful to the family of Adrian and Celia Mitchell who have donated their library to our bookshop in Kentish Town. The two cultural colossuses have an incredible collection - including many first-edition books. www.camdennewjournal.co.uk/article/poet...

Our thoughts are with the Jewish community following the horrifying arson attack in Golders Green, where emergency vehicles serving the community were deliberately targeted. Such an attack - carried out against those who exist to save lives - is deeply shocking.

Outstanding collection donated to @amnestyuk.bsky.social bookshop. www.camdennewjournal.co.uk/article/poet...

The lead actor of ‘Voice of Hind Rajab’, Motaz Malhees, was denied the chance to attend the #Oscars because he’s Palestinian, as per Donald Trump's travel ban. Policies like this fuel racism & violate intl human rights law. As Malhees said, “You can block a passport. You cannot block a voice.”

On Saturday 28 March, we’re coming together to march against the far right – as part of the Together Alliance. There will be an Amnesty International UK group (bloc) there. Find out more here 👇🏽 amn.st/63323B6KDEz

Millions at risk as Israel, US, and Iran unlawfully target energy infrastructure. International humanitarian law is clear: military actions must not cause disproportionate harm to civilians or damage civilian objects. Read on: amn.st/63327B6JoOc

Amnesty UK has partnered with our long-term Ambassadors Kaiser Chiefs on their UK tour to raise funds & awareness of Amnesty’s campaign to protect the right to protest. We need your help to stop the crackdown on protests in the UK & to ensure everyone gets the freedom to stand up for their rights.

This International Women’s Day, we’re celebrating five women advancing human rights. From tackling poverty to defending Palestinian rights, these women are fighting injustice locally and globally. 🧵1/7

Violence against women and girls is a human rights crisis. But far-right actors are weaponising it to spread racism, Islamophobia and division. This is failing survivors while inflaming hate. Read the full briefing: amn.st/63326hhSJg

Wars have rules for a reason. Civilians should never pay the price of any conflict. 1/4🧵

Amidst an ongoing crackdown on dissent in the aftermath of the January protest massacres in Iran, a Court convicted human rights defender Narges Mohammadi for her human rights activism after a grossly unfair trial and sentenced her to 7.5 years in prison.

A human rights-focused government can deliver on what matters most to people in Gorton & Denton and the country. #GortonDenton #GortonandDenton

The High Court has ruled the proscription of Palestine Action was unlawful. But the proscription is still in place.

We went to Gorton & Denton in Manchester - where tomorrow there is a by-election - to hear what people want from their new MP. The message was loud and clear: fix the housing crisis and bring communities together.

Today marks four years since Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine. Ukrainian civilians continue to endure daily indiscriminate attacks and this year was the deadliest in terms of civilian casualties since 2022.

The UN Fact-Finding Mission on Sudan has stated that the killings in El-Fasher bear the "hallmarks of genocide”. This underscores the gravity of what civilians have endured and reinforces the urgent need for justice in Sudan.

The BBC’s decision to cut this section of Akinola Davies Jr’s speech when the Baftas was broadcast later in the day is shameful.

In light of the disturbing and misogynistic attacks in recent weeks on Iranian women human rights defenders, we stand in solidarity with all those who have been subjected to gender-based abuse, online harassment, threats and smear campaigns because of their advocacy.

Manchester says no to hate 🤍 A Britain First demonstration in Manchester was met by a larger counter-protest of local residents and over 30 grassroots organisations opposing racism and division.

📍Iran: Children are among at least 30 people at risk of the death penalty in Iran after being convicted of committing offences during the January 2026 nationwide protests.

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.
