"I chose to speak out for my father and others and that choice cost me a disconnection, maybe forever, from those I love back home." It’s been a decade since HRW's @YalkunUluyol last visited Kumul, his hometown in the Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region in northwest China.

Concerns (finally!) without condemnation: #EU statement on #Israel attacks' devastating impact on civilians in #Lebanon shows once again the bloc's double-standard & inaction. #EUCO: Words remain empty without actions to stop killings, mass displacement & to press for justice.

Amid the conflict, #Bahrain authorities have arrested dozens of people for exercising free speech, seeking the death penalty in some cases. Authorities should be working to protect people, not arresting them for posting on social media. hrw.org/news/2026/03/1…

Bahraini authorities have arrested dozens of people for exercising their right to peaceful expression amid the conflict between the US, Israel, and Iran. Authorities are using the cover of war to justify further violations against the population. hrw.org/news/2026/03/1…

This #Eid marks a decade since my last visit to my homeland where Beijing has committed atrocity crimes against Uyghurs. I chose to speak out for my father and others and that choice cost me a disconnection, maybe forever, from those I love back home. @hrw hrw.org/news/2026/03/1…

More than one million people across Lebanon are displaced following the Israeli military’s evacuation orders. The Israeli Defense Minister said that hundreds of thousands of Shiite residents of southern Lebanon will not return to their homes until the "safety of [Israel's] northern residents is guaranteed.” Forced displacement is a war crime.

Over 143 civilians have been killed and injured in Pakistan's attack in Kabul. Details remain unclear but this horror demands a thorough investigation and accountability. Families are searching for their relatives while many other are buried. Victims deserve more than silence.

Israeli forces shot and killed two Palestinian children and their parents in their car on Sunday. Meanwhile, armed settlers in the West Bank are taking advantage of the fog of war to seize land and advance Israel’s ongoing dispossession and ethnic cleansing of Palestinians.
