It’s not every day that those of us who work in human rights get to celebrate the big wins so allow me another post celebrating the overturning of @OfficialToomaj’s death sentence. Good summary here on the man and the campaign to #FreeToomaj

Toomaj Salehi had become a key voice of anti-government dissent in Iran, strongly criticizing the repressive nature of the Iranian regime through his musical output and social media posts.

Taliban marking 4 yrs in power by showering Kabul with flowers is a cruel parody. While they celebrate, women suffer under gender apartheid, 10 million face starvation & dissent is severely punished. It's not a day of celebration. It's a day of mourning.

The Taliban say helicopters will shower Kabul with flowers to celebrate the fourth anniversary of their return to power in Afghanistan

The word that often comes up to describe Lai is heroic. A genuinely heroic man is on trial. His trial represents all that has gone wrong with Hong Kong. World leaders should be appalled by this & do what they can to #FreeJimmyLai.
Hong Kong: Closing arguments in Jimmy Lai’s trial have been delayed due to health concerns. He’s 77 years old and has spent over 1,600 days behind bars. He should be freed - now. Learn more about his extraordinary story:.

"Israel denies it deliberately targets journalists. But the evidence shows otherwise.". Essential read.

The laws of war are clear: journalists are civilians. To target them deliberately in war is to commit a war crime

Vance on free speech, saying in the USA it was a "very dark path under the Biden administration". Let's be clear here: Biden wasn't great in terms of free speech but he was a lot better than Trump. The Trump administration is the dark path.
'I just don't want other countries to follow us down what I think was a very dark path under the Biden administration.'. US Vice President JD Vance meets with Foreign Secretary David Lammy in Kent during his summer vacation.

“Some [children in Gaza] were killed in their beds. Others while playing. Many were buried before they learned to walk.” These are their names. Bravo @washingtonpost showing how they’re not just numbers.

Palestinian children have been killed at a rate of more than one per hour since the war began.

Hong Kong campaigner Carmen Lau asked by UK police to "cease any activity that is likely to put you at risk” & “avoid attending public gatherings” eg protests. That's like telling women not to go out at night to avoid rape. Don't place burden of behaviour change on victims.
