Without safeguards and pressure for human rights progress & reforms, the #EU deal with #Egypt: 1⃣ Ignores repression 2⃣ Rewards authoritarianism 3⃣ Risks complicity in abuses Once again, migration obsession leads EU policies across the Mediterranean
According to the United Nations, in 2024, 23.7 million people – more than half of the country's population – will need humanitarian assistance. The statistics are startling: 69 percent of people do not have enough food. hrw.org/news/2024/03/1…
Civilians caught up in #Sudan's civil war talk of rape & street executions. Ethnically driven attacks on Darfur's black African population are surging. - @BBCWorld When will this forgotten conflict get the attention it needs to prevent worse? bbc.com/news/world-afr…
Disinformation is surging in #Africa, a new @AfricaACSS report finds. #Russia is the single largest sponsors of such campaigns with West Africa being the region most targeted. There is a strong link between the scope of disinformation & instability. africacenter.org/spotlight/mapp…
International Criminal Court issues arrest warrants for two members of Russian military for missile campaign against 'Ukrainian electric infrastructure' theguardian.com/world/live/202… Read more about Russia's attacks on #Ukraine's infrastructure: hrw.org/the-day-in-hum…
🚨New @hrw report on #Malaysia’s degrading & abusive immigration detention system. Authorities treat migrants as criminals, arbitrarily holding them for prolonged periods with almost no access to the outside world. Among those detained: 1400 children. hrw.org/news/2024/03/0…
#Straflosigkeit schützt Täter an der Macht. Amnestie im #Senegal ist Schritt in die falsche Richtung auf dem Weg aus der Krise. hrw.org/news/2024/03/0…
The enforcement of the hijab decree has significantly reduced women's mobility. Some 57 per cent of the women consulted felt “not at all safe” leaving the house without a mahram and were voluntarily confining themselves to the home instead. Being a woman in #Afghanistan!

🍾🇫🇷 Yesterday #France's vote marked global 1st in explicitly introducing #abortion protections in national constitution. It also reflects need for safeguards in face of global attacks on abortion & sexual & repro health rights. #MonCorpsMonChoix @hrw 1/ hrw.org/news/2024/03/0…
🍾🇫🇷 L'adoption lundi en #France de l'avortement comme une liberté explicitement garantie par la constitution est une première mondiale qui reflète le besoin de garde-fou face aux attaques contre l'avortement dans le monde. #MonCorpsMonChoix hrw.org/fr/news/2024/0… @hrw
#Sénégal : projet de loi d’amnistie «Toute amnistie qui garantirait l’impunité en affranchissant les membres des forces de sécurité de leur responsabilité pour des abus est incompatible avec les obligations nationales et int'l du Sénégal » @hrw hrw.org/fr/news/2024/0…
#Senegal: Amnesty Bill Opens Door to Impunity “Any amnesty that entrenches impunity by absolving gvt and security force officials’ responsibility for serious human rights violations is incompatible with Senegal’s national and int'l obligations.” hrw.org/news/2024/03/0…
Democratic Republic of #Congo President Félix Tshisekedi promised to address recurring violence, end repression & improve the daily lives of all Congolese. His second term is a chance to reverse course on significant human rights backsliding. - @thfessy hrw.org/news/2024/03/0…
🚨To be launched tomorrow, March 7. Journalists can DM me for an embargoed copy. ⬇️
There are reasonable grounds to believe that the two suspects bear responsibility for missile strikes carried out by the forces under their command against the Ukrainian electric infrastructure from at least 10 October 2022 until at least 9 March 2023.

New @hrw research shows that women in #Yemen are being stopped at checkpoints throughout the country when traveling without a #mahram-- not just in #Houthi territory. Yemeni govt, STC, Houthis all must end their restrictions on women's freedoms. 🧵 hrw.org/news/2024/03/0…
The #Kenya government needs to listen to its people & address #femicide. It is unacceptable that men kill hundreds of women each year because the authorities have allowed patriarchy & gender inequality to go unchecked. @hrw's Betty Kabari in @allafrica allafrica.com/stories/202403…
#NorthKorean leader Kim Jong Un has essentially made the country a giant prison. With the northern border with China sealed, people can barely make a living or access food. UN sanctions have aggravated the already dire human rights situation. New @hrw report live on March 7.⤵️
