The #UAE 's Supreme Court has upheld convictions handed down following manifestly unfair trials that include #human-rights defender Ahmed Mansoor. The UAE has once again championed injustice & the silencing of dissent; unfair trial & the use of cruel, inhuman & degrading treatment. Ramadan kareem

Today at the #InternationalWomensDay2025 reception in UK Parliament, we met with MPs and Peers to talk about the tokenism of women’s empowerment in Saudi Arabia and how the regime targets Saudi women. We urged them to take action: Free our heroes. End the travel bans.

We condemn the arbitrary detention of Ali al-Hajee. Summoned 28.02, on 1 March, authorities ordered he be detained 7 days at Dry Dock Prison for interrogation. #Bahrain detained him for social media posts about human rights violations & his advocacy of the rights of recently released persons.

The pattern of attacks on science, education, research is pretty consistent and actually makes sense. If you have a movement that depends on ignorance, then you need to target those who create knowledge and foster understanding.

Rubio terminated 5800 USAID contracts – more than 90% of its foreign aid programs – in defiance of the courts. Here’s a list of just some of the lifesaving awards that were terminated. Nearly all were Congressionally mandated. They’ve saved millions of lives. 🧵

Andrew Tate being allowed to come to the U.S. and avoid facing trial for sex trafficking in Romania is beyond stomach-churning. This man is a HUGE influencer and uses his platform/following to further abuse women who have accused him. Now he won’t face justice, reaffirming his lies to his followers

Maga maga shite thing. Choose life. Or, apparently, don’t. USAID owes its partners $1.5 billion for work already carried out so the Trump administration decided to cancel 10000 awards and got SCOTUS to give them cover for it. www.devex.com/news/nearly-...

Yes. Regardless of how much irony or comedy this video was or wasn’t made with, it will travel far & wide. Many will see Trump & his America as pathetically vainglorious, glib about genocidal suffering & narcissistically corrupt.

Hi @christopher353.bsky.social many UK/other European residents & citizens are alarmed that #US Pres. #Trump 's policies create division & possibly conflict between longstanding allies. How can we protect our alliance? What can #US #military do to ensure it survives? Or does it not matter?

Who else is as unnerved by this as me? I live in the UK but we seem to need its gov't, the EU & member states & maybe Canada to develop a new paradigm of cooperation NOW, otherwise the Trump-Putin axis / alliance may destroy Europe & maybe the world.
