US Universities Should Respect Right to Protest

End Crackdown on Peaceful Pro-Palestinian Protests

https://www.hrw.org/news/2024/04/26/us-universities-should-respect-right-protest

There have been troubling reports of antisemitic incidents in and around Columbia University’s campus. Allegations of antisemitic acts and speech by individuals, as well as acts of Islamophobia and other forms of discrimination, should be investigated and addressed on the merits in a case-by-case basis, through fair and transparent processes.\
\
As protests spread to campuses across the country, university administrations should be careful not to mislabel criticism of Israeli government policies or advocacy for Palestinian rights as inherently antisemitic or to misuse university authority to quash peaceful protest. Instead, universities should safeguard people’s rights to assembly and free expression.

India: Authorities Revoke Visa Privileges of Diaspora Critics

Government Targets Overseas Indians Opposing Ruling Party Policies

https://www.hrw.org/news/2024/03/17/india-authorities-revoke-visa-privileges-diaspora-critics

(New York) – Indian authorities are revoking visa privileges to overseas critics of Indian origin who have spoken out against the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP)-led government’s policies, Human Rights Watch said today. Prime Minister Narendra Modi often attends mass gatherings of diaspora party supporters in the United States, Europe, Australia, and elsewhere to celebrate Indian democracy, while his government has targeted people it claims are “tarnishing the image” of the country.

Hong Kong: Governments Should Oppose Security Bill

86 Groups Urge Rebukes, Sanctions Against Beijing’s Latest Assault on Rights

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6yjLlYNFKCg

https://www.hrw.org/news/2024/02/19/hong-kong-governments-should-oppose-security-bill

National governments should strongly oppose the Hong Kong government’s introduction of so-called Article 23 national security legislation, which will further devastate human rights protections in Hong Kong, 86 civil society groups including Human Rights Watch, said today in a joint statement. On January 30, 2024, the Hong Kong government announced a four-week “public consultation” period for a new national security law under Article 23 of the Basic Law, Hong Kong’s de facto constitution.

Is Navalny Dead?

Let's wait to decide.

https://www.hrw.org/news/2024/02/16/russia-navalny-dies-prison

A spokesperson for Navalny has not yet confirmed his death and has said his lawyer is flying to the prison colony. She said she will not comment further until she has more information.

Declaring him dead is a cheap way to make his sentence a life sentence. It's also an excuse for holding him incommunicado. Why not just kill him and pretend it was "natural causes"? Maybe because that causes Navalny himself less suffering. On the other hand, Putin has tried to kill him before now.

One thing I'm pretty sure about: if Navalny is dead, he didn't die of natural causes.

Russia: Navalny Dies in Prison

The Kremlin bears responsibility for Russian opposition leader Alexei Navalny’s death in prison. Russia’s state prison service said in a public statement on February 16, 2024 that Navalny had lost consciousness and could not be resuscitated.

Western MSM accuse Israel of deliberately killing Lebanese journalist

Israeli tank fire killed Reuters videographer Issam Abdallah and injured six other international #journalists in a double strike in southern #Lebanon on October 13, forensic analysis by #CNN suggests, confirming reports by two news organizations and two human rights groups.

On Thursday, #Reuters, AFP, #Amnesty Int’l & Human Rights Watch released investigations into the circumstances of the deadly strike. #AFP & #HRW claimed it was a “deliberate,” targeted attack.

Post by Jim Sciutto on X

📝 It's unfortunate these MSM news outlets didn't bother to include the two Al-Mayadeen journalists who were killed in a drone strike in an open area.

Hamas-Led Attack in Southern Israel Kills Hundreds

All Parties to Conflict Must Abide by Laws of War

Deliberately killing civilians is a war crime, as is hostage-taking. All parties to the conflict are obliged to respect the laws of war. No matter what the other side does, no one has the right to target civilians.

Saudi Crown Prince Confirms Death Sentence for Tweets

https://www.hrw.org/news/2023/09/22/saudi-crown-prince-confirms-death-sentence-tweets

Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, known as MBS, has confirmed that retired teacher Muhammed al Ghamdi was indeed sentenced to death for his social media posts. In an interview with Fox News on September 20, MBS admitted about the death sentence: “Shamefully, it's true,” and blamed the sentence on “bad laws.”\
\
“Do we have bad laws? Yes. Are we are changing that? Yes,” he said.\
\
MBS is right in saying that he is working to change bad laws: under his rule, bad laws have only become worse.

Human Rights Watch accused Saudi guards of killing hundreds of Ethiopians

Human Rights Watch has accused Saudi Arabian border guards of systematically killing hundreds of Ethiopian economic migrants trying to cross from Yemen.

They say at least 655 people have been killed by guards since early last year. Some were shot, others killed or maimed by explosive weapons.

The organisation accused Saudi Arabia, after the UN made similar allegations last year.

Human Rights Watch has called the killings widespread and systematic, and says they could amount to crimes against humanity.

In March, the Saudi government categorically rejected any suggestion that its forces were involved in cross-border killings.

"Des gardes-frontières saoudiens ont tué des centaines, voire des milliers de migrants et de demandeurs d'asile éthiopiens qui tentaient de franchir la frontière entre le Yémen et l'Arabie saoudite entre mars 2022 et juin 2023", écrit l'ONG, en ouverture d'un nouveau rapport.

"Si cela est le résultat d'une politique du gouvernement saoudien visant à assassiner ces migrants, alors cela constitue un #CrimeContreLHumanité", insiste Nadia Hardman,

The Chinese Government Tries to Ban a Protest Song from Major Platforms

https://www.hrw.org/news/2023/06/20/hong-kong-tech-firms-should-oppose-protest-song-ban

In a June 20, 2023 letter, more than 24 human rights and digital rights groups urged companies including Apple, Google, Meta, Twitter, and Spotify to oppose a potential injunction by the High Court of Hong Kong to protect the right to freedom of expression and access to information in Hong Kong and around the world. The injunction, if ordered by the court, would require that companies remove the song from their respective platforms, effectively banning it online.

The sought-for injunction reflects the Chinese government’s expanding efforts to control information not just within its borders, but around the world. Between July 2020 and June 2022, the Hong Kong government was responsible for 50 instances in which Meta said it was forced to remove content globally.

The song is called "Glory to Hong Kong," and (as you would expect) there are both Chinese and English versions.
