1 \ Syrians deported by #Lebanon have been arrested at home. A
new policy forcibly returns thousands. There is no due process. @hrw hrw.org/news/2019/09/0… #Syria
2 \ Lebanon is putting Syrians at grave risk by returning them to the country they fled and handing them over to a government that is responsible for mass atrocities. @lamamfakih
3 \ Lebanon is legally obligated to allow people to challenge their deportation and argue for protection. And it is forbidden by law to return anyone to face persecution or torture.
4 \ Other countries should step up resettlement programs and aid to ensure that Lebanon is not bearing the burden of hosting such a huge refugee population alone.
5 \ However, there is no excuse for Lebanese authorities to violate international obligations and put people in harm’s way.

#Ukraine: Executions and torture during the Russian occupation. Apparent war crimes newly documented by @hrw.

Human Rights Watch investigated 31 cases of unlawful killings, 6 possible enforced disappearances, 7 cases of torture in the #Kyiv and #Chernihiv regions.
The numerous atrocities by Russian forces occupying parts of northeastern #Ukraine early in the war are abhorrent, unlawful, and cruel. These abuses against civilians are war crimes that should be promptly and impartially investigated and appropriately prosecuted. @Giorgi_Gogia
Commanders of forces who knew or had reason to know about such crimes but did not attempt to stop them or punish those responsible are criminally liable for war crimes as a matter of command responsibility.

#Iran: Overseer of mass executions elected president. Further erosion of political rights and accountability. hrw.org/news/2021/06/1…
The victory of Ebrahim Raeesi, Iran’s judiciary chief, on June 19, 2021, in a presidential election that was neither free nor fair raises serious concerns about human rights and accountability in the country.
Raeesi has had a long career in the country’s judiciary and served on a four-member committee that ordered the execution of thousands of political prisoners in 1988.

“Deporting our director for doing his job is an attack not only on Human Rights Watch, but on the broader human rights movement. If the government gets its way today with Human Rights Watch, who will it throw out next time?” @KenRoth hrw.org/news/2019/07/2…
Neither @hrw nor @OmarSShakir as its representative has ever called for a boycott of Israel, as the Israeli government itself has acknowledged.
As part of its global campaign to ensure businesses uphold their human rights responsibilities and do not contribute to abuses, Human Rights Watch calls on companies to stop working in or with settlements in the West Bank, which are illegal under international law.

Human Rights Watch mourns the death of our friend, supporter, and board member Sid Sheinberg, a legendary Hollywood executive who died at home on March 7 aged 84. @hrw hrw.org/news/2019/03/0…
Sheinberg and his wife Lorraine worked tirelessly for decades to support human rights and were instrumental in helping Human Rights Watch to establish work on the rights of women and LGBT people. @hrw #LGBT
“Behind his sometimes gruff demeanor, Sid was an incredibly warm, empathetic and perceptive man. He used his intelligence, his compassion, and his extraordinary network of contacts to help build Human Rights Watch into an international organization.” @KenRoth
