One week ago today: Hamas arrested Gaza peace activist Rami Aman for his Zoom call with Israeli activists. He has since disappeared.

Shame on Amnesty International for refusing to call for his release—especially when their ex-researcher is the one who reported him. #FreeRamiAman
Amnesty International was founded to free political prisoners, and so it must speak out for Rami Aman. That their ex-researcher @hind_gaza reported him to Hamas while identifying herself as an "Amnesty International Research Consultant" only adds an additional moral duty.
To their credit Aman's arrest was reported by @olireports @guardian @KhaledAbuToameh @Jerusalem_Post @AFP @AP @Reuters @faznet @Telegraph; @halbfinger & @IyadAbuheweila @nytimes reported on Hind Khoudary's "angry denunciations on Facebook of Mr. Aman & tagging 3 Hamas officials."
Bravo to Peter Bouckaert, formerly with Human Rights Watch, who immediately condemned Amnesty International’s ex-researcher Hind Khoudary & removed her from a private Facebook group. “It is disgusting that a so-called ‘journalist’ got an activist for dialogue arrested by Hamas."

On this day 11 years ago, April 17, 2009, the ambassador of Qaddafi's Libya was all smiles as Chair of the U.N.’s Durban II World Conference on Racism. But she went into shock when we brought a famous victim of Libyan torture to take the floor & call out her own country’s racism.
The Libyan Chair of the UN session was Najjat Al-Hajjaji. She finally took a point of order from...Libya. Her colleague said the victim, Ashraf El Hagog, was not speaking on the correct agenda item. She used the objection as an excuse to cut him off. MORE:
Here's what happened.

The U.N. human rights council had chosen Qaddafi's Libya to head the planning & main committees of the U.N.'s 2009 Durban II Racism Conference, notwithstanding the obscenity of naming an egregious human rights violator to chair a human rights conference. Image

• @HRW 2001: The UNHRC is like "a jury or police force run by suspected murderers and rapists determined to stymie investigation of their crimes." nytimes.com/2001/04/17/opi…

• @HRW 2020: "Governments with lousy human rights records sat on the UNHRC without terrible consequences."
@Sophiehrw, why would you say that human rights abusers' membership on the UNHRC comes "without terrible consequences"?

The opposite is true:

1/ Abusers sitting on the UNHRC ensure that it grants impunity for most of the world’s worst regimes, including....
2/ ...adopting 0 resolutions, 0 urgent sessions and 0 commissions of inquiry on gross and systematic human rights abuses perpetrated by Algeria, China, Cuba, Egypt, Hamas, Iraq, Nicaragua, Pakistan, Russia, Turkey, Zimbabwe, and many others.
