Three years on, the conflict between the Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF) and the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) that erupted in April 2023 is now a brutal war on civilians that continues to decimate the country. amnesty.ca/features/sudan…

#500days of arbitrary detention. #500days of injustice. Israel must immediately and unconditionally release Dr. Hussam Abu Safiya and all other arbitrarily detained Palestinian healthcare workers. ✍️Act now: takeaction.amnesty.ca/page/175180/ac…

Iranian authorities are recklessly putting the life of human rights defender Narges Mohammadi at risk by subjecting her to torture or other ill-treatment through deliberate denial of timely and adequate specialized healthcare. She had a heart attack on 24 March 2026 in Zanjan prison, Zanjan province, and has suffered from chest pain, blood pressure fluctuations, severe headaches, dizziness, nausea and double vision since her unjust imprisonment in December 2025. Despite this, authorities are denying her the urgent specialized medical treatment she requires in a hospital outside prison in Tehran. Marges Mohammadi is a prisoner of conscience. She must be released now!

🚨We are deeply concerned for the safety of activists #SaifAbuKeshek and #ThiagoAvila who are being taken to #Israel for questioning after being arbitrarily detained by the Israeli military after the unlawful interception of the #GlobalSumudFlotilla vessels in international waters. 🚨The two activists were participating in a peaceful solidarity mission aiming to break Israel's unlawful blockade of the #Gaza Strip and deliver aid to Palestinians struggling to survive under Israel’s genocide and unlawful occupation. 🚨They are at great risk of human rights abuses, including torture and other ill-treatment given @amnesty's previous documentation of the abuse inflicted on flotilla activists detained in October 2025 at the hands of the Israeli authorities 🚨It is especially concerning that Saif Abu Keshek, a Palestinian-Spanish-Swedish national, is being detained on suspicion of affiliation with a terrorist organization given Israel's discriminatory laws and persistent record of harassment and oppression of Palestinians under Israel’s system of apartheid. Israel must immediately release them and ensure they are protected while in custody. 🚨Israel’s defiance of international law must end. The ICJ has been clear: Israel’s #occupation is #unlawful and must be brought to an end. States must act now to restore some faith in international law by holding Israel accountable for its violations and crimes.

The #FIFA Congress will take place in Vancouver today. FIFA President Gianni Infantino must tell member associations how he will ensure that the #FIFAWorldCup does not become a stage for repression and a platform for authoritarian practices takeaction.amnesty.ca/page/190960/ac…

Attacks on rights and freedoms are turning a festival of joy into a festival of fear. Demand better. Tell FIFA President Gianni Infantino and host country authorities: make this a World Cup for everyone. takeaction.amnesty.ca/page/190960/ac…

We are deeply concerned by the targeting and intimidation of the Southern Poverty Law Center. At a moment when civil society is under sustained attack and uncertainty is being deliberately manufactured to silence critical voices, standing up for human rights defenders is not optional, it is essential. @splcenter's work to confront racism, extremism, and systemic injustice has long been vital, and attacks against them are part of a broader effort to chill dissent and undermine accountability. We stand in solidarity with our colleagues at SPLC, and with all those who continue to defend human rights despite growing risks.

The Global Sumud Flotilla is once again setting sail in a coordinated civilian initiative aim at breaking Israel’s unlawful blockade on the occupied #Gaza Strip Israeli authorities must ensure safe passage for these unarmed activists and human rights defenders 🍉#Palestine

💥Journalist Georgia Fort and others are being prosecuted in the US simply for doing their job. This is not just about one case. It is about whether journalists can report freely without fear of punishment. Call for all charges to be dropped. 🔗takeaction.amnesty.ca/page/189311/ac…

The three-year-long brutal conflict in Sudan between the Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF) and the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) and their respective allies continues to intensify and to inflict devastating harm on civilians 🔗amnesty.ca/human-rights-n…

Today marks three years since conflict began in Sudan. We cannot remain silent or passive in the face of such human suffering. It is time to stand in solidarity with the people of Sudan. #KeepEyesOnSudan

🚨 Just hours after the world cautiously welcomed news of a US-Israeli ceasefire with #Iran, in #Lebanon the nightmare for civilians has become more terrifying. Today has been the deadliest day since the latest round of fighting began on 2 March with an intense barrage of air strikes carried out across south Lebanon, the Beqaa valley and in crowded civilian areas in central #Beirut – many without warning. Hospitals have put out calls for blood donations, overwhelmed by the number of injured arriving. We reiterate the urgent need #Israel to uphold its obligations under international humanitarian law and ensure civilians are protected. Israel has an appalling track record of carrying out unlawful attacks in Lebanon and displaying a callous disregard for civilian life, fueled by the impunity Israeli officials feel they enjoy. 🔗 Read more: amn.st/6012B6xnYr
