Bravo 🇺🇸: “We categorically refuse to sit, converse or engage in any discussion on human rights chaired by Iran. Any discussion led by a regime that continually & with impunity infringes on its own citizens’ human rights is not just fruitless, but an insult to our shared ideals.”

The United States takes a principled stand today.  Notwithstanding our concerns over the utility of the @UN_HRC Social Forum in general, we categorically refuse to sit, converse, or engage in any discussion on human rights chaired by Iran.

#Egypt: On 31 Oct, human rights lawyer Hoda Abdelmoneim should have been released after serving an unjust 5-year prison sentence after a grossly unfair trial. Instead, the Supreme State Security Prosecution ordered her pretrial detention, in a practice referred to as "rotation".
