The Chinese government has been permitting some Uyghurs to travel to or from Xinjiang, with the apparent aim of presenting a public image of normalcy. @hrw shows that onerous requirements and official tours are the latest measures in the region. hrw.org/news/2025/02/0…
Imagine watching your kids cry inconsolably bc their stomachs are cramping w emptiness & there’s nothing you can do. That's reality for parents in Gaza due to Israeli-engineered mass starvation. Govs must urgently act—history will judge them. New from @hrw hrw.org/news/2025/07/2…

Yes. Sanction those officials who put arrest warrants and bounties on those peaceful activists. If there is no accountability, perpetrators get away with their abuses. Hong Kongers deserve more than statements of concern. They need concrete action.
I condemn the further arrest warrants and bounties that the Hong Kong authorities have placed on individuals overseas. We will continue to stand by the people of Hong Kong, including those living in the UK. Joint statement with @YvetteCooperMP: gov.uk/government/new…

This is utter madness We have thousands of #HongKongers in the UK who face charges under #HongKong’s laws and whom the #CCP would love to extradite Moreover I personally have been threatened with jail in #HK. @DanJarvisMBE @CatherineWest1 @YvetteCooperMP @DavidLammy…
Government plans to reintroduce extradition cooperation with Hong Kong are highly concerning. Why does the Government deem this reasonable when freedom of expression, political freedom and the rule of law in Hong Kong have been crushed by The National Security Law and the…
İnsanları, çocukları, ve hastaları aç bırakarak ölüme sürüklüyor İsrail. #Gazze’deki iki milyondan fazla insan gözümüzün önünde erip gidiyor. Tüm devletler, yaptırım ve silah ambargosu dahil, ellerindeki tüm imkanlarla İsrail’e baskı yapmalı ve bu insanlık utancına dur demeli.
Hindistan yetkilileri, Hint vatandaşları da dahil olmak üzere, yüzlerce etnik Bengal Müslümanı, yasadışı göçmen olduklarını iddia ederek, yasal süreç olmaksızın Bangladeş'e sınır dışı etti. @PearsonElaine @hrw hrw.org/news/2025/07/2…
Wow. A Shanxi underground church leader in Linfen has been given a 15-year sentence. Incredible harsh sentence as Xi continues his heavy crackdown on religions to reshape them to serve the Party's goals.

Chinese authorities not only refuse to comply with their international human rights obligations, they also seek to rewrite global human rights norms and weaken key international institutions. @hrw joined 16 other NGOs and urged the EU to confront China. hrw.org/news/2025/07/1…
Canada wishes His holiness the Dalai Lama a happy 90th birthday. As an internationally respected spiritual leader and an honorary Canadian citizen, the Dalai Lama is a recognized human rights and religious freedom advocate.
Ten years after China’s crackdown on legal activism, lawyers say they are still being targeted. Our report 🎥👇 #China #709crackdown #wangquanzhanng
It’s been 8 years since Liu Xiaobo, Nobel Peace Prize laureate, died in captivity. On the anniversary of Tiananmen Massacre last month, I recited a verse from his poem for this @hrw video. We remember his courage, his struggle for peace. We remember his “Tomb,” and his legacy.
36 years on, and the Chinese government still seeks to erase the memory of the June 1989 #TiananmenMassacre. World leaders should renew pressure on Beijing to acknowledge the Tiananmen Massacre and provide reparations to victims' families. bit.ly/3FjDLD6
Tohti Emet, an elderly farmer, was sentenced to 25 years in 2022. His son, @AcqHayat, only now knows this, after more than 3 years, as he had no contact with home. Chinese govrnmnt should immediately and unconditionally free hundreds and thousands of unjustly imprisoned Uyghurs.

“During his visit, Albanese shouldn’t gloss over human rights concerns as simply a difference in “views.” Those differences have real world consequences for the countless people suffering under the yoke of Bejing’s repression.” New from @hrw hrw.org/news/2025/07/1…
