Women and LGBTI activists in Thailand have been unlawfully targeted with digital surveillance and online harassment, including the use of Pegasus spyware, by state and non-state actors, in an effort to silence them
"Amnesty International expresses its deepest condolences following the death of Netiporn ‘Bung’ Sanesangkhom, who had gone on hunger strike in protest at her and others’ arbitrary detention, including for peacefully exercising their human rights.
"This is a shocking reminder that Thai authorities are harshly denying pro-democracy activists their freedom in an apparent bid to silence the peaceful expression of dissent"
Chinese students studying overseas face harassment and surveillance for participating in activism. There are often threats made against their families in China
"“Universities in Europe and North America are often unaware of, and ill-equipped to deal with, transnational repression and the resulting chilling effect taking place on their campuses,” said Sarah Brooks of Amnesty International
Amnesty International calls on Thai authorities to drop charges against two young activists accused of lèse-majesté and "computer crimes"
“Today’s indictment shows that Thai authorities are continuing to weaponize spurious charges to silence critical voices of young people who want to speak about their human rights,” said Amnesty International’s Thailand Researcher Chanatip Tatiyakaroonwong.
“We are very concerned that instead of facilitating and protecting the right to protest, authorities are cracking down on people taking part in a protest camp in front of the German Parliament, the Bundestag.”
“We urge German authorities to not only respect people’s right to protest & right to freedom of expression, but to facilitate & uphold the same.
“We have been observing shrinking spaces and the silencing of people speaking out in solidarity with Palestinian human rights.”
#Amnesty International's take on how #Moldova violated human rights while trying to counter Russian propaganda and influence by for example by badding a pro-Russian party #Shor.
"In the attempt to counter Russian influence, the Republic of Moldova violated the law to association and freedom of expression, noted Amnesty International (AI) in the organization's annual report on the situation of human rights in the world, published on Wednesday."
"Les autorités françaises ont imposé des restrictions excessives et illégitimes du droit de manifester", accuse #AmnestyInternational
"L'ONG pointe notamment du doigt les arrestations, interdictions de manifester, et l'emploi de la force pendant la mobilisation contre les retraites, le projet de #mégabassines à #SainteSoline ou encore la guerre à #Gaza.".
""For millions the world over, Gaza now symbolizes utter moral failure by many of the architects of the post-World War Two system; their failure to uphold the absolute commitment to universality, our common humanity, and to our 'never again' commitment," Amnesty International's secretary-general Agnès Callamard wrote in the preface to the report."
Really good article, covering the current threats to the founding values of humanity.

Pour #AmnestyInternational, qui publie mercredi 24 avril son rapport annuel, la guerre à #Gaza est emblématique d’un ordre mondial «au bord de la rupture». Entretien avec la chercheuse #BudourHassan, qui enquête pour l’ONG sur les exactions commises par Israël.
Amnesty International sieht Menschenrechte weltweit massiv bedroht
Unterdrückung, Verfolgung, Kriegsverbrechen - Amnesty International prangert eine massive Zunahme an Verstößen gegen Menschenrechte weltweit an. Im Fokus stehen die Kriege in der Ukraine und in Nahost.
Paul O’Brien, the executive director of Amnesty International USA, said Israeli forces in Gaza are committing war crimes against Palestinian people using US-made munitions and US must stop sending weapons to Israel.
O’Brien also thanked 37 members of the US Congress who voted no to the Israel arms bill that will see $26.38bn in military aid provided to Israeli forces.
I drove to #KansasCity today to enjoy some of the nice #Spring Weather. I was walking around & some young folks from #amnestyinternational asked me if I wanted to donate & support. I asked them "Is Agnes Callamard still running the place?" One of them said, "Yeah I think so" so I replied "No thanks. Glory to #Ukraine" & walked away. #TrueStory #AgnesCallamardMustResign
