The US summarily expelled 200 asylum seekers, including 81 children, from Afghanistan, Iran, Russia, and other countries to Costa Rica in February. They detail the abuses they've faced in both countries in a new @hrw report out today

Human Rights Watch @hrw found in a new report today that #Israel's attack on #Yemen's Hodeidah port may amount to a war crime, and likely used US weapons. The port is critical for humanitarian aid in a country where over half the population is in need. #_msocom_1" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">hrw.org/news/2024/08/1…

Aujourd’hui la mairie de Calais fête la journée mondiale de l’aide humanitaire à sa manière. Elle dépose des pierres bloquant l’espace de distribution des assos près d’un lieu où survivent une centaine de personnes au détriment de son propre matériel! Chapeau le sens du sacrifice

Perhaps this is a market strategy of directing us back to traditional taxis? It's working.

And for the privilege of having various drivers refuse the pickup, I see I also paid an $11 reservation fee.

@Uber_Support, why are you charging me a "wait fee" for an airport pickup where the driver and I made eye contact as the car arrived and I walked over immediately? It's not much, but it's irritating.

🌟A win for the human rights of people seeking asylum🌟 The UK Government has dropped the controversial plans to remove basic housing protections for people seeking asylum. This was one of the recommendations we made with @hrw in our recent joint report. theguardian.com/society/2024/f…

A vindictive policy that follows pattern of looking tough but achieving next to nothing. Just 5% of immigration is made up of family migrant spouses & kids, & they already have no recourse to public funds. No saving, hardly any impact on numbers, just misery for a few families.

In December the government announced a significant increase in the minimum annual income required by UK citizens and long term residents wishing to bring a foreign partner - from £18,600 to £38,700. Our commentary on the new family income requirement, "Family Fortunes" is out today. A short 🧵on the key points: migrationobservatory.ox.ac.uk/resources/comm…

🧵 Twice last year, state-sponsored attackers attempted to remotely compromise my personal Jordanian phone using Israeli-owned spyware Pegasus. Twice too was @adamcoogle, my @hrw colleague in Jordan, targeted. It was a jarring experience every time. hrw.org/news/2024/02/0…
