🧵Iranian authorities must immediately halt any plans to execute 19-year-old Amirhossein Ghaderzadeh who has been detained since 9 January for taking part in protests in Rasht, Gilan province, and stop weaponizing the death penalty against protesters. 1/6

Israel’s demolition of UNRWA’s buildings in illegally occupied East Jerusalem yesterday, boastfully overseen by the National Security Minister, is yet another example of the Israeli authorities’ full-fledged assault on international law, the UN & humanitarian work. At a time when Israel continues to flagrantly violates its obligations towards Palestine refugees, UNRWA has long served as a lifeline, offering indispensable humanitarian aid, education, employment and shelter. States must end their acquiescence by unconditionally supporting UNRWA and pressuring Israel to comply with the International Court of Justice’s October 2025 advisory opinion. Israel must facilitate humanitarian aid, immediately revoke its anti-UNRWA legislations, and lift its cruel & arbitrary restrictions on humanitarian organizations.

🧵The Iranian security forces’ attack on a hospital in Ilam, where injured protesters are seeking medical care or shelter violates international law and exposes yet again how far the Iranian authorities are willing to go to crush dissent. 1/6

Instead of silencing those who demand action, authorities in Delhi should be doing everything possible to protect people from toxic air. #ProtectTheProtest

As the Gaza-bound Global Sumud Flotilla - the largest initiative of its kind - is expected to enter a high-risk zone in the Mediterranean where Israeli forces may attempt to intercept it as they did before. The flotilla, carrying urgently needed food, medicine, and humanitarian supplies, set sail after nearly two years of Israel’s relentless attacks on Gaza and 18 years of an illegal blockade that has left Palestinians in Gaza deliberately starved and deprived of essentials, as part of Israel's ongoing unlawful occupation of the Palestinian territory. The persistent inaction of states in the face of Israel’s genocide against Palestinians in the Gaza Strip has forced activists from across the world to take peaceful measures to break the siege. States have a responsibility to guarantee the flotilla’s safe passage. They must step up pressure to protect the flotilla and demand an end of Israel's genocide, and of its unlawful blockade once and for all.

The world cannot stand by and allow Israel to continue inflicting staggering levels of death and human suffering on Palestinians in Gaza.

Dix ans après les attentats contre @Charlie_Hebdo_ et l’Hyper Cacher, nos pensées vont vers les victimes et leurs familles. Dix ans après ces journées noires, il est vital de continuer sans relâche à défendre la liberté d’expression et à lutter contre l’antisémitisme.

We are extremely alarmed by the latest information we have received regarding the whereabouts of Dr. Hussam Abu Safiyyah, director of Kamal Adwan Hospital. He should now be considered as victim of enforced disappeared, and as such at great risk of torture and ill-treatment. Israel authorities must urgently disclose the location of Dr. Hussam Abu Safiyyah. Dr. Abu Safiyyah was reportedly arrested on December 27, 2024, when IDF forces raided Kamal Adwan Hospital. Video footage from that day shows the senior doctor walking toward an IDF armored vehicle before being taken for questioning. Following the incident, an IDF spokesperson confirmed his arrest and stated that he had been transferred for interrogation. However, since then, no further information has been provided about his whereabouts. But on Thursday January 1st, the Israeli military informed Physicians for Human Rights that they have no record of Dr. Abu Safiyyah’s detention. This response came after PHRI, acting on behalf of Dr. Abu Safiyyah’s family requested information to facilitate a lawyer’s visit on January 2. In its response to PHRI’s inquiry, the military stated: "Following your inquiry, we would like to inform you that a review has found no indication of the arrest or detention of the individual in question." In light of this denial, PHRI has now filed a petition with the Israeli High Court of Justice (HCJ) on Thursday, demanding immediate disclosure of Dr. Abu Safiyyah’s location. Since October 2023, Israel has detained hundreds of Palestinian healthcare workers from Gaza without charge or trial. Health workers have been subjected to torture and other ill-treatment and been held in incommunicado detention.

How do you say genocide in the EU's 24 languages? As EU leaders meet in Brussels to discuss Israel's actions in #Gaza, we sent them a message they can't ignore #EndGazaGenocide 👇

@amnesty believes in people power and so does the photojournalist @motaz_azaiza from Gaza. He has saved and changed lives through his pictures - but he cannot stop the genocide alone. Put pressure on your politicians to #EndGazaGenocide and stop arms export to Israel.

Le nouveau rapport majeur d’Amnesty International conclut que les autorités israéliennes ont commis, et continuent de commettre, un génocide contre les Palestiniens et Palestiniennes dans la bande de Gaza occupée. buff.ly/4gg76uQ

Les gouvernements doivent faire tout ce qui est en leur pouvoir pour faire cesser le génocide des Palestiniens et Palestiniennes commis par Israël à Gaza. Ils doivent mettre un terme à tous les transferts d’armes, ou ils risquent de se rendre coupables de complicité de génocide.

Le tout en prenant en considération le contexte du système d’apartheid, l’occupation illégale et le blocus inhumain imposés par Israël.

Un rapport sans précédent publié aujourd’hui conclut que les autorités israéliennes commettent un génocide contre les Palestinien·ne·s à Gaza. buff.ly/3ZCeP0B
