Activists in India are being silenced with accusations of being anti-national, including the BK16.

Grave concern for citizen #journalist #ZhangZhan , who needs urgent medical care for deteriorating health. #Shanghai Women’s Prison authorities must ensure she isn’t subject to torture and has access to her family & lawyer of her choice.

Our group had a zoom social to do some letter writing for the #BK16 - cards done ☑️

While activist Hang Tung Chow 鄒幸彤 was granted bail, she is still facing the charge related to unauthorized assembly.

Act now to ask the  #HongKong  government to drop all charges against her solely based on her peaceful exercise of human rights: amnesty.org/en/documents/a…

Outspoken human rights lawyer #GaoZhisheng was sentenced to prison for “inciting subversion” and was released in 2014.
He went missing in Aug ’17 and there has been no news of him since then.

#China must disclose his whereabouts and let him contact his family.

We’re running a zoom meeting in Monday to go through the consultation together. Message your email address to get the link if you want to join us! We’ll be meeting from 5.30-6.30 (and hoping it doesn’t take any longer...) 🤞💪

This is simply outrageous 😡

We had a really inspiring group meeting last night - positive signs on the #DeathPenalty from the US and #LGBT + rights in Angola, as well as starting out campaigns on #Guantanamo (with support from the amazing Lewes AIUK group) and Human Rights in the UK.

Lots of work to do!

The Govt of #India needs to be reminded of its promise for human rights. Unfreeze the accounts of Amnesty India so it can carry out the human rights work!

This case really seems to live up to the old saying: “Capital Punishment. Those without the capital get the punishment.”

What a crappy defence lawyer (and corrupt police etc)...

#EndTheDeathPenalty #BillieAllen #BlackLivesMatter

Today we held another vigil for Raif Badawi in #Vienna . He is injustly in prison for 8 years now and hasn't seen his family since. We will continue to fight for his release. #FreeRaif #StandWithSaudiHeroes

This teen in South Sudan is no longer on death row thanks to your actions. Together, we can end the death penalty for everyone, everywhere.

Good news for #JohnRamirez . But this decision proves once again the arbitrariness in regard to the death penalty and executions. #BillyWardlow 's execution a few weeks ago didn't get cancelled.

3004 days in prison. Raif Badawi, it’s again Friday and my thoughts are with you and your family. I hope you will never again be flogged and I hope for a Royal Pardon and your unconditional release. #FreeRaif #RoyalPardon4Raif
