“These atrocities demand an unequivocal response - those responsible must be held accountable, and justice must be pursued relentlessly,” said Türk. “Recurrence of the crimes and horrors of the past must be prevented as a moral duty and a legal necessity. It is the responsibility of the international community, with ASEAN at the forefront, to take all necessary measures to protect the Rohingya and other civilian victims of this cruel conflict.” myanmar.un.org/en/277135-myan…

“It is clear that safe space for civilians in Myanmar is shrinking more each day, with people caught up in the ongoing fighting and forced to make perilous journeys to Bangladesh to seek safety.”

Genocide, widespread massacres & disappearances happened here in Guatemala. @FAFGuatemala continue to exhume mass graves in the countryside, near communities, on former military bases "Each #exhumation helps to recover the truth hidden beneath the earth. The search continues"

Important @theprogressive article by @palabrasdeabajo on #Guatemala wildfires, state abandonment, remesas & climate change “If it wasn’t for [money sent by migrants], I do not know how we would have gotten out of this crisis,” Lorenzo explains.  "... there are no resources.”

As armed groups continue to launch attacks against the ruling junta, Myanmar’s military government and armed opposition groups are looking to Rohingya, whom both sides have long deprived of basic rights, to join in their fight against one another. buff.ly/3IJzcjf

Still Life with Bones has won the 2024 Méndez Book Award. I share this incredible honor with the families and forensic teams whose stories are told in the book @FAFGuatemala @eaafoficial #CAMIT @DHRCatFHI @CrownPublishing @penguinrandom @Wildfirebks @DukeU humanrights.fhi.duke.edu/story/still-li…

I spoke with migrants from across Latin America in Tapachula, Mexico and in Guatemala City. All said they had been extorted by police and other officials while crossing through Guatemala. The problem is widespread. My story for @AJEnglish aljazeera.com/news/2024/1/4/…

Hace 27 años se firmó el último acuerdo para la paz "firme y duradera" en #Guatemala. Los compromisos, que eran trascendentales, pasaron de ser deudas pendientes a promesas incumplidas. La democracia y los DDHH no fuesen tan moribundos si las reformas se hubiesen implementado🧵

@AlexaHagerty Congratulations!

I just heard Still Life with Bones is in The New Yorker's "Best Books We've Read in 2023" but I've run out of free articles. I think it's true? I'm just going to go ahead and drink champagne

We remember & honor Adolfo Ich Chaman, a Mayan Q’eqchi’ environmental & human rights defender, killed 9/27/2009, by private security guards in Guatemala mining industry Today Angelica Choc –widow of Adolfo– continues to spear-head community struggles Thank-you Adolfo & Angelica

In Guatemala, efforts to undermine the election outcome persist and they are taking a toll. "It is one thing after another," says sociologist Victoria Tubin. "I think they are using a strategy of repression and destabilization to wear us out." My latest: truthout.org/articles/facin…

“The Rohingya are a proud people with a rich culture. We didn’t choose this life. If we could, we’d be back on our land in Myanmar farming and growing our own food like we have for centuries. But we can’t right now, so we need the int’l community’s help…” writes @md_yasiein

On 6th year anniversary of genocidal attacks against the #Rohingya, @RapporteurUn urges world leaders to take action against architects and perpetrators of this crime and end #impunity. ohchr.org/en/press-relea…

As we reach the six year mark of the #Rohingya influx in #Bangladesh, it's worth reflecting that govts in the global south host 76% of the world’s #refugees. We need consistent global action for human rights, and this contribution must be recognised. tinyurl.com/4ph8ch4d

@JGidalti Asi aprendí los 9 youtube.com/watch?v=wCpyag…

Yo me aprendí las tablas de multiplicar a puro miedo, ( pero no voy hablar de mis traumas) el punto es que me niego a enseñarle al crío bajo amenazas. Si tienen algún método que les haya funcionado, les agradeceré. *atentamente la tabla del 7,8,9.

@Jaber360 @reginapaulose I am so sorry, Jaber. That is heartbreaking.

Powerfully written article on #Rohingya boat which went missing in December 2022. indianexpress.com/article/world/…

If you haven’t seen my Guatemalan election result explainer, please take a look. These elections have been a surprise, and could represent the difference between reform and the continuation of the degradation of the state of rights

“UN Special Rapporteur on the situation of human rights in Myanmar, Tom Andrews, said there were reports that Bangladeshi authorities were using deceptive and coercive measures to compel #Rohingya refugees to return to #Myanmar." @UN_SPExperts ohchr.org/en/press-relea…
