Cruelty + repression = the @hunsencambodia + @Dr_Hunmanet_PM regime.
@StateDept, how is that @WestPoint_USMA education and training of Hun Manet working out for the people of Cambodia? It’s not like we didn’t tell you…

Help support our jailed environmental activists! On top of the 6 to 8 year jail sentence handed down against the 5 #MotherNatureCambodia activists, the @Dr_Hunmanet_PM dictatorial regime has decided to punish them a step further by sending them to 5 separate (& notoriously overcrowded) jails, away from their loved ones. Needless to say, one of the aims of this cruel form of punishment is to try & break their spirits. #Cambodia's prisons are notoriously overcrowded & inmates rely on food & other necessities being brought by their families to survive. We have set up a Gofundme fundraiser to assist the 5 in these times of need. Any assistance is much appreciated. gofundme.com/f/support-moth…

New oped by @KristaShennum @ClimateRights explains how cancellation of nickel project by @GroupeEramet @BASF is opportunity for Indonesian govt and nickel industry to make changes necessary to power the energy transition AND protect rights/environment. thediplomat.com/2024/07/cancel…

Documenting environmental degradation and the horrible impact on lives and livelihoods is not a crime. US, EU, Japan should impose costs on the Hun regime until these cases are dropped and activists released.

NYT cites @ClimateRights report "Unholy Guacamole" cri.org/reports/unholy… in a new story about threats to U.S. avocado inspectors in Mexico. The bigger concern is deforestation, water theft in Indigenous communities. nytimes.com/2024/06/17/wor…

The Ugandan govt should urgently authorize an independent investigation into the abduction, disappearance & beating of activist Stephen Kwikiriza. @TotalEnergies @CNOOCUgandaLtd should publicly call for justice & an end to attacks on critics of @EACOP. cri.org/uganda-indepen…
English
@TotalEnergies @CNOOCUgandaLtd should publicly condemn the abduction, beating of Stephen Kwikiriza by Ugandan security forces. They should make it clear that they expect these crimes to stop & those responsible are brought to justice.

Critical for @TotalEnergies and @CNOOCUgandaLtd to make public statements calling for Stephen Kwikiriza's immediate release. The first hours are the most important in cases of disapperances. Silence from the main companies benefiting from Kingfisher is unacceptable.

We are deeply saddened to learn of the abduction of Stephen Kwikiriza by the UPDF. The Ugandan authorities must conduct a comprehensive investigation and guarantee Stephen's safe return. See the press statement below and RT widely! #StopEACOP!

Receiving very disturbing news from #Uganda that human rights defender Stephen Kwikiriza is currently missing after being seized by the @MODVA_UPDF today. The State must ensure his physical & psychological wellbeing & immediate release @UgandaMFA @TotalEnergiesUG @CNOOCUgandaLtd
English
The #HunSen government was undoubtedly responsible for this enforced disappearance, which is one of the worst and cruelest human rights abuses since family members don’t know what happened to their loved one. Someday a country will arrest this serial killer during his travels.

Sister of the “disappeared” #Thai democracy activist Wanchalearm Satsaksit will today (21 February) ask the Cambodian strongman #HunSen about the fate of her brother, who was abducted at gunpoint while living in exile in Phnom Penh in June 2020. Authorities in #Thailand and #Cambodia have made no progress in resolving Wanchalearm’s enforced disappearance. @HRW #วันเฉลิม #ฮุนเซน #ทักษิณ

US-based companies importing avocados from Mexico are turning a blind eye to deforestation, water theft and violence. New @ClimateRights oped calls on @calavo @missionproduce @WestPak_Avocado @AvosFromMexico & supermarkets to clean up their supply chains. latimes.com/opinion/story/…

(🧵1/9) Avocados from Mexico are supposedly “sustainable.” But avocado production is linked to widespread deforestation, water theft, and violence. See our new report and video: cri.org/mexico-avocado….
