@amnesty

1/. The abject failure of Spanish & Moroccan authorities to provide truth & justice for at least 37 people killed & 77 others still missing following the deadly events that took place on the border of Spain's Melilla enclave, smacks of a cover-up" @amnesty
amnesty.org.uk/press-releases…

@amnesty

2/. “There is a mountain of evidence of serious human rights violations. This smacks of a cover-up and racism, and rubs salt into already painful wounds” @amnesty’s @AgnesCallamard

Moroccan & Spanish govts must ensure truth & justice in order to ensure 👉 “Melilla: Never again!”

@AgnesCallamard

3/. “The unlawful force used in Melilla has left an indelible stain not just on the hands of the Moroccan & Spanish security forces, but also on the hands of all those pushing racist migration policies" @AgnesCallamard

On Friday, with temperatures plummeting, we’re having our press launch 1-2pm, at @ToloVauxhall

2/. Intended originally for homeless people & rough sleepers, #TakeOneLeaveOne now provides warm clothes for anyone facing winter hardship

Why not set up a #TOLO rail where you are?

We can send you a banner & help find local volunteers

See TakeOneLeaveOne.org for info👇

@Take1_Leave1

3/. Last year, almost 1,000 people in Britain died while experiencing homelessness

The #CostOfLivingCrisis is impacting almost everyone

@Take1_Leave1 is a sticky plaster NOT a solution but with temperatures set up hit -6 degrees, why not get involved?👇

#BREAKING: Convictions quashed against 4 rights defenders including Amnesty Turkey's Honorary Chair & ex-Director

For more than five years, we've watched the wheels of injustice grind

This brings to an end a travesty of justice of spectacular proportions
amnesty.org/en/latest/news…

@AgnesCallamard

“Whilst we celebrate todays decision to quash the convictions of Taner Kilic, İdil Eser, Özlem Dalkıran & Günal Kurşun, we don't forget that across Turkey many human rights defenders are languishing in jail, living in fear of arrest or facing similar prosecutions" @AgnesCallamard

@Snowden

“We’re responsible not only for what we say but what we fail to say by staying silent” @Snowden

Massive thanks to the 2+ million people who spoke out when Taner, Idil & the others were jailed @aiww @itspetergabriel @MarkRuffalo @NazaninBoniadi @SirPatStew

@amnesty

1/ On the 5th anniversary of the Memorandum of Understanding on Migration btw Italy & Libya, @amnesty is call on Italian authorities NOT to renew this agreement which makes them complicit in the abuse & torture of asylum seekers in Libyan detention centres

@ellyesse

2/. Since the MoU was signed in 2017,
100,000 people have been intercepted at sea & forcibly returned to #Libya

#Italy & the #EU have been helping the Libyan Coast Guard, providing financial support & technical assets

See protest in Rome (via @ellyesse)

3/. The strategy of outsourcing of border control to Libya focuses on keeping people out of Europe

But #Libya doesn't have the capacity to coordinate rescues & people rescued at sea can’t legally be taken there due to the dire rights violations they there

@DawnButlerBrent

Matt Hancock to join #ImACeleb!

When @DawnButlerBrent asked Hancock if he was aware of the rprtdly links between Palantir (who he allowed to run the NHS Covid data store) & Cambridge Analytica, he said:

“Er...um...er...I don’t think I was aware of that”

https://twitter.com/StefSimanowitz/status/1405075489811795974

@imacelebrity

In Sept 2020, #MattHancock launched a 10-year strategy, #GenomeUK, which will transform the NHS & put genomics at the heart of the programme for govt

Incredibly it was launched quietly (on a Saturday!) & received no media coverage

Were #Palantir central? #ImACeleb @imacelebrity

@imacelebrity

“Still boiling!”

On 13 May 2020, I broke the #CareHomeScandal

The govt had ordered hospitals to send elderly #COVID19 patients to care homes without testing

Who signed the order?
