Today at #HRC #Canada delivered crucial statement on behalf of 43 countries, reflecting growing international concern over crimes against humanity in #Xinjiang. China’s authorities are NOT above international scrutiny. amnesty.org/en/latest/news…
Human Rights Council members must build on this statement to establish an independent, international investigative mechanism that can pave the way for holding to account those responsible for the human rights violations in Xinjiang. There’s not a moment more to lose.
Thanks to Canada Albania Australia Austria Belgium Belize Bosnia and Herzegovina Bulgaria Croatia Czech Republic Denmark Estonia France Finland Germany Haiti Honduras Iceland Ireland Israel Italy Japan Latvia Liechtenstein Lithuania Luxembourg Marshall Islands Monaco Netherlands
Thanks as well to New Zealand, Norway, Palau, Poland, Portugal, Romania, San Marino, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, the UK, and the USA.

Wealthy countries with large vaccine supplies, are in a position to provide much-needed assistance to #Nepal. It would be an affront to our collective moral conscience to let this happen again, when we already know how it ends. My plea to @BorisJohnson: inews.co.uk/opinion/covid-…
The UK Government icould step in to provide assistance. Nepalese prime minister KP Sharma Oli has made a personal plea to the UK, as it’s “oldest friend”, to supply the vaccines it needs.
Time is running out.
The crisis in #Nepal is not the first and will not be the last.
To save lives now, Prime Minister Boris Johnson can lead by example by immediately providing the doses needed to fully immunise 1.4 million Nepalis. This isn’t an unrealistic request.

20 mois de travail sur le traitement en #Chine des minorités ethniques musulmanes du #Xinjiang ; 100 pages de preuves détaillées de crimes contre l'humanité, de violations massives des droits humains et d'une realite dystopique effarante.
Cela devrait choquer la conscience de l'humanité qu'un nombre massif de Musulmans soient soumis à la torture et à d'autres traitements dégradants dans les camps d'internement, alors que des millions d'autres vivent dans la peur au sein d'un vaste systeme de surveillance.
Des millions d'Ouïghours, de Kazakhs et d'autres groupes ethniques Musulmans du Xinjiang sont soumis à une campagne d'assujettissement et d'assimilation forcée, contraints d'abandonner leurs traditions religieuses, leurs pratiques culturelles et leurs langues locales.

20 months of @amnesty tireless work into #China treatment of Muslim ethnic minorities of #Xinjiang; 100 pages of detailed evidence of crimes against humanity, massive human rights violations, and a dystopian hellscape on a staggering scale.
It should shock the conscience of humanity that massive numbers of Muslims have been subjected to brainwashing, torture and other degrading treatment in internment camps, while millions more live in fear amid a vast surveillance apparatus.
Millions of Uyghurs, Kazakhs and other predominantly Muslim ethnic groups living in Xinjiang are subjected to a campaign of subjugation and forced assimilation, compelled to abandon their religious traditions, cultural practices and local languages.

Petit cours de rattrapage a l’attention du Gouvernement de #France @GDarmanin @EmmanuelMacron: 1. le droit de manifester publiquement est une liberté fondamentale. Toute personne a le droit inaliénable de prendre part à des rassemblements pacifiques. #IsraelPalestine
2. Ce droit ce ne devrait pas être sujet à une autorisation préalable des autorités. Une procédure de notification ne devrait en aucun cas faire office de demande d’autorisation de facto, ou justifier l’imposition de règles fondées sur le contenu.
3. Les États doivent respecter + protéger les droits de tous sans distinction aucune, de race, de couleur, de sexe, de langue, de religion, d’opinion politique ou de toute autre opinion, d’origine nationale ou sociale, de fortune, de naissance ou de toute autre situation

Many thanks to @CNN for corroborating that the two private jets HZ-SK1 and HZ-SK2 which brought the Saudi killing team to Istanbul are owned by the Saudi Crown and MBS. amp.cnn.com/cnn/2021/02/24…
According to CNN, Ownership of Sky Prime Aviation was illegally transferred in December 2017 to a Public investment Fund controlled by the Prince. I had alleged in my June 2019 investigation that they were part of State resources allocated to #JamalKhashoggi killing.
The @CNN investigation provides thus further evidence that : 1. The killing of Jamal Khashoggi was resourced and carried out through the use of State resources; and 2. #MBS is further directly linked to the implementation of the execution.

Mon rapport sur l'attaque du vol Ukrainien par les gardiens de la revolution Iranienne est public (en Anglais: spcommreports.ohchr.org/TMResultsBase/… et Farsi: ohchr.org/Documents/Issu… L'Iran a commis de multiples violations des droits humains en abattant le vol PS752 le 8 janvier 2020
Dans les situations de haute tension militaire, le moyen le plus efficace pour empêcher les attaques contre l'aviation civile est de fermer l'espace aérien. Si l'Iran avait fermé son espace aérien au trafic civil ce soir-là, 176 vies auraient été épargnées
Selon l'enquête iranienne, le vol PS752 a été ciblé intentionnellement mais par erreur par le personnel militaire des Grdiens de la Revolution. Mais ces explications sont incoherentes et contradictoires, conçues pour créer un maximum de confusion et un minimum de clarté.
