🧵 This last week, I was part of Amnesty International’s first official mission to #SaudiArabia (perhaps ever), as a group of colleagues and I attended the Internet Governance Forum (IGF) in Riyadh. This is how it went ⬇️

The Internet Governance Forum @intgovforum convenes in Riyadh, holding discussions on human rights (among other topics), focusing on equitable data use and privacy protections. @freedomhouse ranked Saudi Arabia's freedom on the net as 25 out of 100 (not free) in 2023.

Satirizing the massacre, thereby legitimizing and inciting to violence is not a part of legitimate protected speech. A press outlet definitely knows better. Al Jazeera’s actions and intentions were obviously unethical and criminal.

This is sickening. Al Jazeera put out a "comedy" skit mocking the Oct 7 massacre, which some of its journalists were found to be directly involved in. They even use real footage from the attacks. There's nothing funny about terrorists butchering, raping and kidnapping people. #google_vignette" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">jpost.com/omg/article-82…

🎗️ Remember the October 7 massacre. Remember the responsibility to protect the human rights of everyone, Jews and Arabs. We are all witnessing and acknowledging a terrible human tragedy in Gaza and Lebanon, yet so many ignore Jewish victims & survivors. Bring them home now!

Dear @TPGeneva, your public transport system is broken. Too many delays, too many changes in routes, unoptimized options shown by your app and disconnect from GoogleMaps (see line 1).

@PlanGlobal Indeed. And in the Human Rights Council which concludes its session today, the idea that girls should be excluded was the least supported among amendments attacking gender equality.

🇩🇪💃 At the Human Rights Council, @GermanyUNGeneva could not be clearer about the absurdity of Russia's amendment against a resolution, seeking to remove references to women's and girls' bodily integrity and autonomy, and eliminate girls' right to any autonomy. @ippf @WILPF

Listening to Qatar's explanation for the amendment the GCC presented to HRC resolution on tech-facilitated gender-based violence. They wanted to replace "gender" with "sex" for clarity in order to properly designate the target groups [and not accidentally protect LGBTQI+ people.

@GayeDalton @UNSRVAW That’s not even funny. All amendments tabled by Arab countries focused on gender. Reem Alsalem is appreciated by them for the same reason that women’s and LGBTQI organizations have criticized her like no other mandate holder before.

@HRLOgva @UNSRVAW Not particularly, Qatar has a Sunni Muslim culture, Reem AlSalem was raised with that culture and is a native Arabic speaker, there are many potential reasons to require her involvement.

Some of the most painful amendments against the Human Rights Council are aimed against girls' rights, denying their right to bodily autonomy, allowing legal barriers to their access to sexual & reproductive health and excluding their participation in processes that shape society.

Most of the many amendments tabled by Russia against Human Rights Council resolutions are about sex. Same for the few amendments tabled by Arab countries.

🇷🇺 Russia is a signatory to 70% of the amendments against resolutions in the current Human Rights Council session. That's 21 out of 30 amendments. It was joined by others in only 2 of those amendments, less than 10%. #multilateralism
