Ban Pride. Ban a trans rights demo. Ban protests. Use surveillance to track participants. Hungary’s trajectory is clear: shrinking civic space and targeting LGBT people under the guise of “protection.” That’s not democracy. It’s repression. hrw.org/news/2026/03/1…

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is expected to travel to Hungary, an ICC member country, this weekend. If he visits, Hungary should arrest Netanyahu, who is wanted by the ICC to answer charges of crimes against humanity and war crimes in Gaza. hrw.org/news/2026/03/2…

Attacks on critical Middle East energy infrastructure risk causing economic and environmental catastrophe to civilians in Iran and across the Gulf. Warring parties should immediately end any and all attacks targeting civilian energy infrastructure.

The UK is using concerns about antisemitism as a pretext to restrict protest — just as the US did. As a Jewish human rights lawyer, I've seen this before. "We are all safest when we are able to hold our governments accountable." My op-ed in @ChurchTimes tinyurl.com/mptzjf8n

The arrest of human rights activist Tommy Olsen by Norwegian authorities is based on a groundless extradition request by Greece. Norwegian authorities should refuse to be a part of targeting rights defenders and release Olsen. hrw.org/news/2026/03/2…

"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.

The EU is deeply concerned about the ongoing Israeli offensive in Lebanon. Civilians are paying the highest price also in terms of casualties. Read our full statement: link.europa.eu/T83HK7

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…

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.
