Executions in 2025 soared to the highest figure recorded by Amnesty International since 1981. #Iran was the main driver behind the spike, doubling its 2024 figure, a dangerous trend as the authorities used the death penalty to instil fear and punish dissent.

Thrilled to share that I've been selected for Amnesty International Zimbabwe's 2026 program! 🌟 Grateful for this opportunity to make a difference. @amnestyinterzim.bsky.social

This is a pivotal moment in human rights history. Rights are under attack around the world. But attacks on rights don’t have to win. From youth uprisings in Nepal, to dockworkers stopping arms shipments in Europe, to climate defenders & women winning rights – resistance is rising.We won’t back down.

The Israeli military’s killing of Amal Khalil, Al-Akhbar journalist in Lebanon, has provoked anger and despair in Lebanon, where people have been forced to contend, again and again, with the Israeli military’s chilling disregard for civilian lives.

Notice a pattern? The world’s most powerful are repeatedly undermining international law and silencing people who oppose them. Everyone deserves a world where leaders put human rights first – every time. We all deserve better. A world where human rights come first, not last. #HumanityMustWin

Yesterday marked three years since the conflict began in Sudan. We cannot remain silent or passive in the face of such human suffering. It is time to stand in solidarity with the people of Sudan. #KeepEyesOnSudan

People in Iran have lived under digital darkness for 1000 hours. Access to the internet is a basic human right and indispensable in times of conflict. Authorities must immediately restore internet access.

On 9 April 2026, we engaged with Zimbabwe’s Parliamentary Portfolio Committee on Climate, Environment & Wildlife to discuss the country’s continental leadership role in operationalising the African Union Convention on the Protection & Assistance of Internally Displaced Persons (Kampala Convention).

“If we don’t address colonialism, we will never tackle racism.” www.amnesty.org/en/latest/ca...

Our differences aren’t the problem. The divide comes from refusing to recognise, accept, and celebrate them - as Audre Lorde warned. Justice means dismantling the discrimination that targets those differences. Another world is possible when no one is asked to shrink, hide, or disappear.
