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".

The UK's strategy to "stop people from becoming terrorists" is supposed to protect us, but in reality, it's doing the opposite.

Instead, it seriously interferes with the lives & freedoms of thousands of innocent people who are caught up in its net.
