In #Kashmir, the Government of India detained political leaders and restricted protests, and telephone and internet services. There were 106 internet shutdowns in India
in 2019, according to @NetShutdowns. #HumanRights & #Democracy report of @FCOHumanRights
@Article14live
& the rest of the report talks of #Police trainings, working with Indian Government on 'Strength of Diversity & Inclusion', interfaith events, & religious barriers for minorities.
However, the report completely misses out, has excluded the attacks on #minorities #muslims ...
#dalits and #women.
While talking of Police training it misses out on the police brutality in India. While working with the government on diversity & inclusion, it misses out on the attacks on minorities, the lynchings & systemic oppression.
When evidently the situation ...
has worsened after the rise of the Right Wing party in 2014, the report's mentions of #India does not address any real issues.

Our live Q&A session between camp based #Rohingya and the accountability mechanisms has begun.

Victims from within the camp begin by expressing their wish to learn more about the investigations and cases being conducted in their names.

#RohingyaWantJustice
Arselan Suleman, counsel for The Gambia before the @CIJ_ICJ answers questions on the progress before the case against #Myanmar before the International Court of Justice.

Explains that #Myanmar must provide its written submissions by April 2023.
Chantal Daniels, International Cooperation Advisor at the @IntlCrimCourt notes that justice for those who were displaced five years ago will never be fast enough. But reminds that #ICC team and prosecutor @KarimKhanQC were on the ground in February, and investigations continue.

#India, #HateCrimes & the new #FCRA law.

A Hate Crime Tracker by @IndiaSpend shows that 90% of religious hate crimes in the last decade have occurred since @narendramodi came to power. 1/16

Former Civil Servant & now an anti-hate activist @harsh_mander who runs @karwanemohabbat observed
India has seen several instances of lynchings in which frenzied mobs have targeted people mainly because of their religious or caste identity – for being Muslim or Dalit. 2/16
Condemning on of the several attacks @USCIRF vice chair @tperkins said, "We condemn in the strongest terms this brutal murder, in which the perpetrators reportedly forced Ansari to say Hindu chants as they beat him for hours,". 3/16

.@ASEAN @mofakr do clarify how giving an award to CEO of #KBZ bank which funded over $25mn USD to #MyanmarMilitary who in turn is responsible for serious international crimes against #Rohingyas ok? @UN FFM report already names them
How is it fine to support #Hate & #violence? 1/n ImageImage
While the #Rohingya community was massacred, forced to flew, and are still struggling to survive, #ASEAN gave an award for 'Inclusion' to one of the biggest corporate funders of Tatmadaw. Is this the kind of "support" victims should expect from Int organisations? @ASEAN 2/n
& this award is supported by @MOFAkr_eng. While the former UN Special Rapporteur to Myanmar @YangheeLeeSKKU had shown the world what happened with #Rohingya community.

3 years into the #Rohingya refugee crisis, women, men and children – driven from their homes in #Myanmar into camps across the border in Bangladesh – are more vulnerable than ever, UN agencies have reported - @UN_News_Centre & still international community turns a blind eye? 1/n Image
Even after this observation - The Election Commission disqualifying #Rohingya candidates, not allowing the forced refugee, the Rohingya community, who are Myanmar citizens to vote. The continued persecution in Rakhine, burning of villages is still on. Images via @drzarni 2/n ImageImage
The @CIJ_ICJ in January issued a ruling asking Myanmar to prevent any acts of genocide against the #Rohingya. The @UKParliament @Europarl_EN called on Myanmar to comply with the order. Yet, the violence continues.
Will the international community be silent spectators again? 3/n

Under #FreedomOfInformation we asked @dfat @Australia 's Foreign Minister @MarisePayne why was Senior General Min Aung Hlaing of #Myanmar not added to the to the consolidated list of persons & entities subject to financial #sanctions. While EU, US, UK has already done so.

VAI represents #Rohingya groups in the Cox Bazar refugee camp who have told us they expect other countries to put pressure on #Myanmar to allow them to return, safely and with full citizenship

#Sanctions are how governments put pressure on each other, but #Australia has shielded the #Myanmar military's highest ranking perpetrator from them- and continues to "cozy up" with him at diplomatic meetings @hrw hrw.org/news/2020/02/2…

.@Facebook's "unconditional love" for India's ruling party @BJP4India, headed by @narendramodi isn't new.
What's horrifying is that it opposed ban on #BJP politicians with proven track record of #hate & asking for open killings of minorities.

It's not the first time that this link is exposed. Years before the @WSJ piece Indian journalists @paranjoygt wrote for @newsclickin exposing the links between @BJP4India & @Facebook, especially it's top executives Ankhi Das & Shivnath Thukral.

But, given the state of media in India, it wasn't picked up by the mainstream.
The @WSJ piece exposes not just possible criminal negligence, but again it's participation on th part of #Facebook similar to #Myanmar & #Srilanka where it accepted its role in escalation of
