We demand justice for Awda Al-Hathaleen and for his community. Israel’s unlawful occupation and its apartheid system that destroy Palestinians’ lives and hopes must end now.

Agnes Callamard
Agnes Callamard@AgnesCallamard·
We at @amnesty joins thousands across Palestine, Israel and the world mourning the murder of prominent Palestinian activist Awda Al-Hathaleen. His killing is personal. We have worked with Awda, shared panel. My colleagues have spent time with him and his family; listening to their stories, of hope and heartbreak, supporting their struggle against apartheid and occupation. This latest crime reminds us of the price Palestinians continue to pay for peacefully resisting State backed settler violence and for clinging to their land. We are heart-broken. We are angry. And we will not stop demanding justice for Awda, for his killer to pay for his crime in front of a court, for Israel to pay for its crimes against Palestinians in Gaza and the West Bank. We will not stop until justice is delivered. On behalf of @amnesty, of our 10 million supporters, I am sending my heart-felt condolences to his wife, three children and his family and friends. RIP Awda. amnesty.org/en/latest/news…

With the publication of these two reports, @btselem and @PHRIsrael become the first two Israeli organizations to state it loud and clear, based on meticulous documentation and research: Israel is committing genocide against Palestinians in Gaza. amnesty.org/en/latest/news…

“An examination of Israel’s policy in the Gaza Strip and its horrific outcomes, together with statements by senior Israeli politicians and military commanders about the goals of the attack, leads to the unequivocal conclusion that Israel is taking coordinated, deliberate action to destroy Palestinian society in the Gaza Strip. In other words: Israel is committing genocide against the Palestinians in the Gaza Strip.” 👉btselem.org/publications/2…

I have never felt so shaken. Children are dying of hunger. Falling one after another, like petals of a dying flower. Under our watch. How do you sleep, Presidents, Foreign Ministers, political leaders, diplomats, civil servants - doing nothing to stop Israel’s starvation campaign? PS: Talking politics while dodging genocide perfectly meets the definition of doing nothing.

The sheer intellectual collapse you have to experience to be faced with 122 international aid organisations telling you the same thing... ISRAEL IS STARVING GAZANS... only to decide they are ALL lying & that actually Benjamin Netanyahu, on trial for fraud, is telling the truth.

Iran’s authorities must immediately stop the mass expulsion of Afghans & people of Afghan origin born in Iran & end their violation of the non-refoulement principle, which prohibits returning anyone to a country where they would be at real risk of human rights violations

Food should never come with gunfire. Over 500 Palestinians have been killed and 4,000 injured under Israel’s militarized distribution scheme in #Gaza This is not a humanitarian response. 🍉🍉🍉🍉

A new report by @justice_sisters together with AIM exposes a sharp rise in censorship of LGBTIQ content under Malaysia’s outdated PPPA law. From books to watches, the state is banning expression in the name of “morality”. ✍️ Sign our petition now! bit.ly/CensorshipLGBT…

Agnes Callamard
Agnes Callamard@AgnesCallamard·
EU Israel agreement The EU’s refusal to suspend its agreement with Israel is a cruel and unlawful betrayal – of the European project and vision, predicated on upholding international law and fighting authoritarian practices, of the European Union’s own rules and of the human rights of Palestinians.   This vote will be remembered as one of the most disgraceful moments in the EU’s history. European leaders had the opportunity to take a principled stand against Israel’s crimes, but instead gave it a greenlight to continue its genocide in Gaza, its unlawful occupation of the whole Occupied Palestinian Territory (OPT), and its system of apartheid against Palestinians.   The EU’s own review has clearly found that Israel is violating its human rights obligations under the terms of the Association Agreement. Yet, instead of taking measures to stop it and prevent their own complicity, member states chose to maintain a preferential trade deal over respecting their international obligations and saving Palestinian lives.   This is more than political cowardice. Every time the EU fails to act, the risk of complicity in Israel’s actions grows. This sends an extremely dangerous message to perpetrators of atrocity crimes that they will not only go unpunished but be rewarded.   Victims are entitled to far more than empty words. Member states must now take matters into their own hands and unilaterally suspend all forms of cooperation with Israel that may contribute to its grave violations of international law, including a comprehensive embargo on the export of arms and surveillance equipment and related technology, and a total ban on trade with and investment in Israel’s illegal settlements in the OPT.
