Mashup Score: 12“The Boot on My Neck” - 9 month(s) ago
The 49-page report, “‘The Boot on My Neck’: Iranian Authorities’ Crime of Persecution Against Baha’is in Iran,” documents Iranian authorities’ systematic violation of the fundamental rights of members of the Baha’i community through discriminatory laws and policies that target them. Human Rights Watch found that Baha’is face a spectrum of abuses. Government agencies arrest and imprison Baha’is arbitrarily, confiscate their property, restrict their education and employment opportunities, and even deny them dignified burial.

Mashup Score: 1Meta’s Broken Promises - 12 month(s) ago
The 51-page report, “Meta’s Broken Promises: Systemic Censorship of Palestine Content on Instagram and Facebook,” documents a pattern of undue removal and suppression of protected speech including peaceful expression in support of Palestine and public debate about Palestinian human rights. Human Rights Watch found that the problem stems from flawed Meta policies and their inconsistent and erroneous implementation, overreliance on automated tools to moderate content, and undue government influence over content removals.

ICYMI: The Russian Supreme Court labeled the international LGBTQ+ movement an “extremist organization.” This means if one advocates in any way, even wearing a rainbow flag, in Russia, you can go to jail for up to 4 years. #LGBTQRightsAreHumanRights https://t.co/nXgKQEzfvq

Mashup Score: 18Israel: Starvation Used as Weapon of War in Gaza - 1 year(s) ago
The Israeli government is using starvation of civilians as a method of warfare in the occupied Gaza Strip, which is a war crime, Human Rights Watch said today. Israeli forces are deliberately blocking the delivery of water, food, and fuel, while willfully impeding humanitarian assistance, apparently razing agricultural areas, and depriving the civilian population of objects indispensable to their survival.

Yes, the Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court states that intentionally starving civilians by “depriving them of objects indispensable to their survival, including willfully impeding relief supplies” is a war crime https://t.co/UAOfL4Gv2j https://t.co/1MbiyxoyaO https://t.co/f9Rw098cZE

Mashup Score: 135Selling Weapons to Israel Could Make UK Complicit in War Crimes - 1 year(s) ago
This week, I joined leaders from civil society calling on the UK government to immediately suspend arms sales to Israel. This is not only the right thing to do but is also what the government should do to uphold its own laws on weapons licensing.

Hamas and Islamic Jihad are committing war crimes by holding scores of Israelis and others as hostages in Gaza. No grievance can justify holding anyone hostage. The groups should immediately and safely release all civilians detained.
