“It’s easy to feel hopeless in the face of atrocities & abuses but throughout the last year, people have shown we’re not powerless. We need less hypocrisy, less cynicism, & more action by all states to promote & protect all rights” @AgnesCallamard @amnesty
Respect for human rights around the world is deteriorating
@amnesty’s research indicates more than half of the states we monitored used torture or other ill-treatment
The annual report paints a disturbing picture of the global state of human rights today amn.st/6016O8EAO
The right to protest is under attack
Govts around the world have used aggression & violence against peaceful protesters to silence those fighting for their rights
As if to prove the point, today the UK govt is trying to push the draconian #PublicOrderBill through the Lords👇
From targeted surveillance to internet shutdowns, govts around the world have made it increasingly difficult for people to exercise their right to protest
Yet despite the tear gas & the kettling, the rubber bullets & swinging batons, people are still on the streets
#HumanRights
In 2022, we've witnessed iconic acts of defiance
Countless times, people took to the streets to defend their rights
A reminder to those in power - we will never be mere bystanders when our dignity, equality & freedom is assaulted
See @amnesty’s report👇
Europe rightfully welcomed refugees from Ukraine, but didn’t have the same approach towards refugees arriving from the Middle East & Africa
@amnesty slams the West's "racist double standards" in its approach to refugees & in dealing with rights violations euronews.com/2023/03/28/amn…
