New @hrw report finds that the Feb 28 US/Israel attack on a school in southern Iran should be investigated as a war crime. Both militaries tout immense intelligence, and should have been aware they were attacking a school while children present. hrw.org/news/2026/03/0…

اغتيلت الناشطة النسوية العراقية البارزة ينار محمد أمام منزلها في بغداد في 2 مارس/آذار 2026. لأكثر من عقدين، كانت ينار، المؤسسة المشاركة لـ "منظمة حرية المرأة في #العراق"، إحدى أشجع المدافعات عن حقوق المرأة في العراق. وفاتها خسارة فادحة لمجتمع حقوق الإنسان في العراق وللنساء والفتيات اللواتي ساعدت في حماية حياتهن. تحث "هيومن رايتس ووتش" السلطات العراقية على إجراء تحقيق عاجل وشفاف في مقتل يانار ومحاسبة الجناة، فضلا عن تعزيز حماية المدافعات والمدافعين عن حقوق الإنسان. الصورة: واثق الخزاعي/غيتي إيمجز

Her death is a profound loss for Iraq’s human rights community and for women and girls whose lives she helped protect. Human Rights Watch calls on Iraqi authorities to urgently and transparently investigate the killing and ensure accountability, as well as strengthen protections for human rights defenders.

Yanar Mohammed, a leading Iraqi feminist and co‑founder of the Organisation of Women’s Freedom in Iraq, was assassinated outside her home in Baghdad on March 2, 2026. For more than two decades, Yanar was one of Iraq’s most courageous advocates for women’s rights.

Iran's authorities should release all arbitrarily detained people immediately & enforce domestic regulations that allow for prisoners' release during armed conflict

This regional conflict is putting scores of civilians at risk. One major group are the thousands of people arbitrarily detained & disappeared by Iran's security forces. They face risk of torture & execution and may also face risks from US-Israel strikes. hrw.org/news/2026/02/2…

The laws of war strictly prohibit attacks targeting civilians, which include officials from other countries who are not directly participating in hostilities. The suggestion that Israeli forces will target Iranian government officials who do not leave Lebanon is both deeply disturbing and an admission of an intent to commit a war crime.

#عاجل ‼️جيش الدفاع يحذّر ممثلي النظام الإيراني الإرهابي الذين ما زالوا في لبنان بضرورة المغادرة فورًا قبل استهدافهم ⭕️قضى جيش الدفاع في وقتٍ سابق اليوم في طهران على المدعو داود علي زاده، أرفع قائد إيراني في فيلق القدس والمسؤول عن النشاط الإيراني في لبنان والذي أوعز إلى حزب الله بمهاجمة إسرائيل دفاعًا عن إيران بدلًا من الدفاع عن دولة لبنان ومواطنيها. ⭕️ويحذّر جيش الدفاع بأنه لن يتسامح مع أي وجود لممثلي النظام الارهابي الإيراني في لبنان وسيمنح خلال الساعات الأربع والعشرين القادمة لممثلي النظام الموجودين في لبنان فرصة لمغادرته. وبعد ذلك، لن يكون هناك أي مكان آمن لممثلي النظام الإيراني في لبنان، وسيقوم جيش الدفاع باستهدافهم أينما وُجدوا

After the US/Israel strikes on Iran & Iranian strikes on Gulf states & Israel, all parties are obligated to respect IHL & prioritize civilian protection. @hrw has previously documented laws-of-war violations by the US, Israel, & Iran & serious failures in protecting civilians.

@hrw is closely monitoring initial reporting that Israel and the United States have launched strikes on Iran. Our focus remains civilian protection and carrying out our mandate by monitoring for any violations of international humanitarian and human rights law.

Iranian authorities must immediately halt any plans to execute 18 year old wrestling champion Saleh Mohammadi, who was sentenced to public execution in Qom in relation to the January 2026 protests, and halt all use of the death penalty, including against protesters. 1/6

Iran is currently taking a page out of its former ally Assad’s playbook. Much like the former Syrian regime did to launder its preferred image for international audiences, the Iranian regime is now importing foreign influencers to amplify its propaganda. Notice how all of these influencers arrived around the same time? It could not be more obvious that these trips are state-organized.
