Tomorrow, Seán Binder will stand trial in Lesvos, #Greece for his work as a volunteer rescuer, helping those in distress and at risk of drowning at sea. Representing @amnesty, we will stand by him in #solidarity and this is why: politico.eu/article/sean-b… #opinion @POLITICOEurope


Rama is one of 2.38 million Palestinian children struggling to survive in the Occupied Palestinian Territory. #LetChildrenLive makes sure each child is seen, not obscured behind a vast number, and impossible for world leaders to ignore. Because they all need help.

Pressure works! The EU can no longer ignore the clear demand of millions to end Israel’s genocide against Palestinians in Gaza. Shamefully late, @vonderleyen proposes EU action on Gaza after nearly 2 years of Israel’s relentless bombardment & starvation. But what's next? 🧵

What is happening in Gaza has shaken the conscience of the world. Man-made famine can never be a weapon of war. This must stop. EU aid to Gaza far outweighs that of any other partner. But of course, Europe needs to do more. Here are measures for a way forward ↓

Finally.... The European political elite cannot run away from the facts. The evidence. The sufferings. Israel's genocide and repeated violations of international law. The EU can no longer ignore millions of protestors who for the last 23 months have denounced Israel's…

We agree. So when is the UK Government going to stop enabling attacks like these by suspending all arms transfers to Israel, including parts for the F-35 jets being used to bomb civilian targets?

Horrified by Israel’s attack on Nasser hospital. Civilians, healthcare workers and journalists must be protected. We need an immediate ceasefire.

Landmark ruling in Belgium! Today, a Brussels court ruled that the Flemish government must block transit to Israel of all goods that can be used in military equipment, citing Israel's breaches of int'l law. There can be no business as usual with a country committing genocide.

Police tried to ban it, people said no way, it became the biggest Budapest Pride ever! Congratulations to my colleagues and the hundreds of thousands of you who turned out!

People in Hungary should be able to celebrate Budapest Pride freely and safely, but it might be banned using a new law. More than 91,000 people have already sent messages demanding that police let it go ahead. If you agree, you can add your voice here👇 amnesty.org/en/petition/le…

The adoption of a consent-based definition of rape in Norway is an historic victory for all survivors of rape and sexual violence who have shared their stories. Sex without consent is rape. Always.
