🇵🇪 Ahora #Público: Junto con mis colegas @Irenekhan y @Ginitastar, mandamos una carta al Gobierno de #Perú expresando preocupación por los procedimientos disciplinarios iniciados contra el Juez Superior Oswaldo Ordóñez, quien es también presidente de la Primera Sala Constitucional de Lima y presidente de la Asociación Nacional de Magistrados del Perú. Me alarma que dichos procedimientos hayan sido iniciados, al parecer, en respuesta a las declaraciones del Juez Ordóñez durante una audiencia de la @CIDH sobre independencia judicial. (1/2)

I will share a message at the panel “What Right to Peaceful Protest?” on the impact of legislation, policies and policing on the right to protest in the #UK. 📅 16 March | 17: 30 – 19: 00 📍 #Cardiff | Panel + Q&A Join us. Info & registration via QR code. #FreedomOfAssembly

#Ecuador | Expresamos preocupaciones técnicas sobre: definiciones amplias de terrorismo, salvaguardas limitadas en la Ley de Inteligencia, designaciones de terrorismo sin garantías procesales y estados de excepción prolongados. Estamos disponibles para cooperación legislativa.

🇪🇨 Me sumé a una comunicación técnica con otros expertos de la ONU dirigida a #Ecuador sobre su marco legal en contraterrorismo, inteligencia y estados de excepción. Ofrecemos asistencia para fortalecer su adecuación a estándares internacionales. spcommreports.ohchr.org/TMResultsBase/… #Ecuador

#Cuba | Casos como José Ferrer, Yosvany Rosell (condenado a 15 años por protestar el #11J) y artistas perseguidos plantean posibles violaciones a la libertad de expresión, reunión y asociación. Llamé al gobierno a explicar la base legal de las detenciones e investigar abusos.

#Cuba | Expresé grave preocupación por un patrón de criminalización del disenso: detenciones arbitrarias, persecución a defensores, artistas y manifestantes del #11J, y presiones al exilio. Recordé obligaciones internacionales en materia de #DDHH. spcommreports.ohchr.org/TMResultsBase/…

I’m hearing extremely concerning news that Andrie Yunus, the Deputy Coordinator of the Commission for the Disappeared & Victims of Violence (@KontraS) suffered an acid attack carried out by unidentified individuals, resulting in serious injuries across his body. I call on the Indonesian authorities to carry out thorough investigations into this horrific attack. Impunity for violence against HRDs is unacceptable. @IndonesiaGeneva @Kemlu_RI

#Venezuela | "Si bien la Misión de determinación de los hechos tiene motivos razonables para creer que Nicolás Maduro es responsable de #crímenesdelesahumanidad cometidos contra la población civil, ello no justifica una intervención militar ilegal". María Eloísa Quintero #HRC61

"Abuse of counter-terrorism laws has become a tool of choice to suppress critics & civil society." UN expert @profbensaul urges States to adopt int'l definition of terrorism to ensure counter terrorism measures are effective & legitimate. @UN_HRC ohchr.org/en/press-relea… #HRC61

The #Iran Fact-Finding Mission is warning that the nation’s human rights crisis - characterized by unprecedented repression including violations that may amount to crimes against humanity - is likely to worsen in the wake of US-Israeli attacks. #HRC61 ➡️ bit.ly/4llxGX6

I will participate in a #CSW70 parallel event: “Justice in Jeopardy: Countering the Authoritarian and Anti-Gender Backlash.” 📅 12 March 🕒 6:30–8:00 PM EDT Join the discussion on threats to gender #equality and access to #justice. Register HERE: bit.ly/JusticeInJeopa…

I will participate in a #HRC61 side event on #Tanzania: truth and accountability for the 2025 election violence. 📅 12 March 2026 🕒 15:00 – 16:00 CET Join online: ungeneva-vc.webex.com/wbxmjs/joinser… #HumanRights #ElectionViolence #Accountability

#Nepal | I call for independent investigations in line with the Minnesota Protocol, accountability, and reparations for victims. The lethal repression of an authorized and peaceful protest is unacceptable. Protesters, especially students, must be protected. #JusticeForNepal

#Nepal | The protests were triggered by the ban on 26 social media platforms. Such sweeping restrictions severely undermine freedom of expression, access to information, and the right of students and young people to civic participation and education. #FreedomOfExpression

#Nepal | I joined a UN communication to the Government of Nepal, expressing deep alarm over the lethal repression of peaceful protesters in September 2025. 14–20 people were killed and 347+ injured. spcommreports.ohchr.org/TMResultsBase/… #HumanRights #FreedomOfAssembly #JusticeForNepal

#Pakistan ournalists covering these events have also reportedly faced harassment, detention, and even torture. Freedom of the press is essential to accountability; it must not be met with violence or arbitrary arrest.

#Pakistan I am particularly concerned by the arbitrary detention of women protesters, including those at this weekend’s #WomensDay marches. Reports of forced "confessions" and videos as a condition for release are unacceptable tactics of state intimidation. 2/

I have communicated with the Government of #Pakistan regarding the violent crackdown on protests since March 1. Reports of live ammunition use in Karachi & Islamabad have led to over 20 deaths and hundreds of injuries. This must be investigated. 1/

#8M El ejercicio de los derechos de las mujeres en el espacio público no puede ser un acto de valentía frente al riesgo, sino una práctica plena de ciudadanía. Las calles deben ser un espacio de libertad y no de miedo. Comunicado en inglés y español ⬇️
