In a report shared with the president today, Tanzania's Commission of Inquiry finds at least 518 people died of unnatural causes including gunshots, during & after the October 2025 elections. This should not be taken lightly. These are lives lost at the hands of security forces.

A landmark step for human rights and environmental justice in Africa.

Zambia: Authorities must investigate escalating attacks on journalists and media freedom. amnesty.org/en/documents/a…

The latest war in the Middle East has far-reaching effects, including on countries ravaged by conflicts of their own. After three years of war in Sudan, a public health clinic in Qoz Nafisa village in Khartoum state is struggling to get medicine to thousands of patients.

⚠️On 20 December 2025, Egyptian national and Danish resident Hassan El Sayed was arrested upon his arrival at Cairo International Airport. National Security Agency officials questioned him about his role in the movie The Eagles of the Republic, where he appeared very briefly as a priest. Following his arrest, he was taken before a prosecutor, who ordered his pretrial detention pending investigations into the charge of “joining a terrorist group while being aware of its objectives”. Since then, his pretrial detention in case No. 4529 of the Supreme State Security Prosecution (SSSP) has been renewed. Call on @EgyptianPPO to immediately release Hassan El Sayed and drop all charges against him as he is detained solely for the peaceful exercise of his human rights. Authorities must allow him to safely reunite with his family in Denmark.: amn.st/6016BBEm4q #FreeHassanElSayed
